There s tourism in Cross River state.  Boko Haram is messing it up though.

Kano, lagos, Oyo, rivers, anambra and [size=20pt]adamawa[/size]

Investment in what terms?? Real estate? It all depends on the type of investments.

For ALL investments, I have to admit the Lagos is the place.

Real estate: Ogun (due to her proximity to Lagos), Abuja and Oyo (especially Shangisha), Anambra (Onisha)

Oil and gas: Delta and Rivers. Bayelsa does not produce that much oil although, its where oil was initially discovered.

Finance and stock market: I'd say Lagos because most HQs are situated there so it's easier to get informed in Lagos compared to other states.

Technology and manufacturing companies : Apart from Lagos, I'd say Abia, Enugu and Anambra.

Aviation: Lagos and Abuja

I can go on and on. . . But first, you need to know the sector you want to go into.

phantom:

Imo should be considered as viable for investments in tourism

Ohaneze1:


You analysis is quite rich and comprehensive. I think that economically viable states can mean states that can yield in all areas of investment. Thus states like Lagos, Rivers, Anambra, Delta and Kano easily comes to mind and are major Nigeria's economic hotbeds.

Ohaneze1:

^^

Which tourism? Imo state is not viable either for tourism nor economic investment. Reason=insecurity. If you want tourism go to cross river. What about Tinapa?

abagoro:

Which Southeasten State is more secure than Imo? Imo is the best place to site a hotel in Nigeria. Pay a visit and see for yourself.

Ricky_Ross:

Well said. So many guys are ignorant, they stay in their house and talk about states they have never visited before. Today is Sunday I am just returning from Owerri, you cant get hotel in Owerri from Friday to Sunday as all hotels are usually fully booked. Most Igbos in PHC, Abia etc flock to Owerri every weekend to jolly life. Hotel business is paying like cocaine in Owerri.

i wish another business can boom in owerri the way hotel business has been booming there for a long time now.

abouzaid:

How come no body is talking about agriculture. If your interested in agriculture pls your welcome here in the north. Land is cheap or even free,labour cost is dirt cheap, constant electricity,excellent network of road, no government endorsed extortion like LASTMATA or ndi mpia wa azu and [color=#006600]the crime rate is almost 0%[/color]

Ohaneze1:


I wish also that they turn to other form of economic boom, because the town has recorded highest rate of prostitution and students harlotry. The alarming rate of commercial sex workers in that town is really really dehumanizing.

Igbo Amaka:

Sorry to disappoint you, Its a national and international knowledge that your Owerre is a no-go-area.  So stop deceiving yourself because people does not travel to your owerre for anything meaningful except for gang of LovePeddlers selling themselves 1naira due to bad market.
