What happened
Kogi State projects are receiving counterpart funding from the World Bank for economic initiatives. The Kogi State Livestock Productivity and Resilience Support (L-PRES) Project opened bids for Construction Works Phase 2 at the Livestock Service Centre (LSC) Osara, a component supported by the World Bank. Additionally, the Agro – Climatic Resilience in Semi Arid Landscape (ACReSAL) project, which includes land reclamation and stabilization, is also supported by World Bank counterpart funding.
Why it matters
The funding supports key infrastructure and sector development in Kogi State. The L-PRES Project aims to improve livestock infrastructure to support the Livestock Value Chain Clusters.
