You provide SMEs with cheap loans if they meet certain conditions through micro finance bank

Like if you have a cooperative of 50 to 500 farms and havw 5000 to 50,000 hectares of farm of a specific goods
And can show you can produce the crop below international price

Then you would have access to 5 billion loan at 8% per annum to cultivate

Same can be done in many sectors it's a very complex process sha

EmekaA125:
I disagree with you. Look at Nike Lake, Enugu, Solution FunCity in Awka. Both resort and recreation center are currently generating revenue for the government. Cross River State government failed woefully here.

mrvitalis:
When I see comments like this I laugh

It's not maintained not because we lack maintenance culture but because it's a revenue draining project

Most of you don't understand how economy works at all economics should be compulsory

jmoore:
Built under the government of Donald Duke of Cross Rivers state. Obudu cattle ranch is currently abandoned as facility rots.

WesleyPepper:
Why are you mentioning Ayade ?? It was Liyel Imoke that destroyed that vision .
Typical of Nigerian governors . Same thing Ambode did with the Lagos rail and Wike with the PH monorail . Those guys are cut out of the same clothes.

obama30:
Renovated by Donald Duke. As I said earlier. Read before you reply.

exposition:
How?

Something that was generating revenue in foreign currencies for the state
You know how many people visited that place from the diaspora?

That place was supposed to be a retreat for AU member states at a time under Donald duke

If you're one of those appointees under ayade this is the time to shut up or apologize for the damage you and your boss did to cross river
To think the ranch was even located in his village but greed didn't allow him to develop the place

Even tinapa that he claimed he wanted to turn to a university is about to receive a face lift

Ekaka14:
Since most of you have become overnight economist...must the state be directly 8nvolved in everything
Why not privatize the Ranch and let the experts run it under relevant terms and conditions....
All those Governors who jumped in after Governor Donald Duke used the place to launder money period!

ednut1:
the state lost its oil blocks to another state and became broke

michlins:
Nigerians are seriously poor and cannot afford such luxury. For people struggling with basic necessities, you don't expect them to visit such places at cost reflective fees. It's not possible and subsequent governor might not be able to afford to keep subsidizing such

lexy2014:
how is that responsible for the state of obudu ranch resort?

how is cross river broke?

ednut1:
the state had money to fund projects like this. FAAC and 13% derivation as an oil producing state. As they lost the oil block their finances reduced and they could not spend on things like this again

Chinjo2:
This is how Ayade killed the dream of Donald duke.
This is the same scenario playing out in Edo State where the governor is busy destroying everything that were done by Obaseki instead of him to build on them.
Nigeria politicians are evil

The beautiful resorts of Zanzibar are a money spinning venture not because the (largely poor) people of Zanzibar patronise them. I wonder how some of you think.

mank1234:
I almost booked for a trip to this place this last Easter. Thank God it didn't work work out. Didn't know it's this bad.

To those claiming, it's a drain on the states funds, there is what is called break-even point in business. With security, ease of access, much promotion and advertisement, international tourist would have been attracted and with time it would have broken even.

I learnt power is a big challenge in the resort If power generation was factored in in the beginning may be it would have helped.

Handover this same place to a consortium, Chinese or Indians they would run it profitably in few years time.

Ibom icon and golf resort is run by a consortium and not Akwa Ibom state government.
