- The proposed Industrial Park
- Taabaa General Hospital
- Terabor General Hospital
- K-Dere General Hospital
- Federal University of Environment Technology, Saakpenwa, the Center of Excellence for Environmental Restoration (CEER)

Regarding the Federal University of Environment Technology academic calendar, the Chairman of the Ogoni Dialogue Committee, Prof. Baridam, who’s also the Pro-Chancellor of the university, expressed confidence that the institution would commence its first academic session by October 2025.
“We expect to start classes here at Saakpenwa before the end of October. We will return when the Vice-Chancellor is available to assess progress and finalise preparations,” he assured.
