The proposed Agro-Industrial Hub (AIH) at Adiabo, Odukpani LGA, Cross River State, forms
part of Nigeria’s Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zones (SAPZs) initiative, supported by
AfDB, IsDB, IFAD, and both federal and state governments.
The hub will sit on about 130 hectares, strategically located along the Tinapa–Adiabo axis, and is
designed to host industries of varying scales under a Design, Build, and Operate (DBO) model.
Facilities will include processing and commodity centres, warehousing, training and vocational
centres, residential and health facilities, and reliable utilities such as water, power, drainage, and
waste management. The 130ha land proposed for the AIH is a communal land of the Adiabo Clan
donated to the Government of Cross River State. This Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) has been
prepared to address the social and economic impacts of land repossession, ensuring fair
compensati
on and livelihood restoration for affected farmers and households who rented portions
of the land from the Adiabo Clan solely for farming.
The purpose of this RAP is to assess the potential and associated impacts of the project and
project-related activities on the socioeconomic resources, especially land, and where applicable
to proffer measures to enhance positive impacts and to avoid, reduce or mitigate (compensate)
negative impacts to the tenants who are using portions of the affected land for farming; and
develop cost-effective livelihood improvement plan for them, to make the proposed project
sustainable. The development of this RAP is in alignment with the African Development Bank’s
Integrated Safeguards System (AfDB ISS) and in compliance with relevant Nigerian regulatory
frameworks.
