Kwara State Association of Nigeria, North America (KSANG.ORG)

Fellow Stakeholders.

 

The summary report below is a summary of the KSANG Delegate visit to Kwara last month.  The development is very exciting.  The report is very clear, but the most exciting piece that is not in the report is that as of today, at least 2 Banks from Nigeria are COMING to our Convention in Seattle in less than 2 months, to open INDIVIDUAL MORTGAGE ACCOUNTS for our respective KSANG Home BUYERS at attractive interest rates and terms!!!  As we all know, KSANG Home is a major program on our agenda for the convention, so since this is a banking transaction, it is imperative and compulsory for all interested buyers to be on location in Seattle by Thursday, July 2, 2010 in order to attend the detailed presentation on the subject and also have a one-on-one meeting with the lenders while they are here in the USA.  The developer has already mobilized pertinent equipments to start the project before or by the convention.  A full project report will be presented by the Developer in Seattle.

 

Everyone is advised to book your flight NOW, to avoid summer fare hike.  There will be more information coming your way as the development evolves.  Feel free to contact me or Eng. Adepoju.
