GOVERNMENT OF RIVERS STATE OF NIGERIA
RIVERS STATE BUREAU FOR PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS
CALL FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST CONCESSION OF GOVERNMENT OWNED FARMS AND CATERING REST HOUSES UNDER PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP ARRANGEMENTS

1. BACKGROUND
The Rivers State Government (RSG) as an integral part of its vision and policy thrust has embraced the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model as a Key strategy for the accelerated delivery of its public infrastructure.

This delivery of public infrastructure will mean an expansion of the State’s economy and an increase in population as more people migrated into the State for available economic opportunities. This increase in population and businesses would mean an increase in food consumption and the need for short term accommodation needs as people traverse from one part of the State to another.

RSG intends to maximize the opportunities created from the above scenario to produce food for its populace, increase the value chain in agriculture and create job opportunities for its people, considering the anticipated inflow of migrants into the state.
