The Federal Government, under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is intensifying efforts to bridge Nigeria’s $2.3 trillion infrastructure deficit through a robust Public-Private Partnership (PPP) framework.

Speaking at the 2025 Nigeria PPP Summit held at the State House Conference Centre in Abuja, Vice President Kashim Shettima reaffirmed the administration’s commitment to providing a conducive environment for private businesses to thrive and drive national development.

The Director-General of the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC), Jobson Ewalefoh, stated that President Tinubu’s government has repositioned infrastructure as a central pillar of inclusive growth. He emphasized the promotion of PPPs as a governance model built on innovation, efficiency, and accountability.

Ewalefoh highlighted flagship projects such as the Highway Development and Management Initiative, the Egini Medical Infrastructure Scheme, and the Dasin Hausa Dam as examples of how the administration is laying the foundation for sustainable, private-sector-led infrastructure development.

The summit, themed “Unlocking Nigeria’s Potential: The Role of PPPs in Delivering the Renewed Hope Agenda,” convened key stakeholders to explore how strategic partnerships can accelerate Nigeria’s progress under the Renewed Hope vision.
