This document discusses Nigeria's infrastructure shortage and investment opportunities. It notes that Nigeria has inadequate infrastructure that inhibits economic growth. Data shows Nigeria has very low global infrastructure rankings, comparable to failed states. Nigeria's infrastructure master plan is estimated to require $2.9 trillion in investments. However, population growth is increasing demand for infrastructure investments. The document argues private investment in infrastructure funds and public-private partnerships could help close Nigeria's huge infrastructure funding gap and facilitate much needed development.

- 2. Country Key Indicators for Nigeria
- 3. Nigeria’s major sore thumb Inadequate & lack of Infrastructure!!! The growth and income potential from infrastructure in Nigeria and other emerging markets has been largely inhibited by congestion, poor operations or maintenance culture with regards to facilities or what can be better described as a “tragedy of the commons” situation.
- 4. Nigeria’s Global Infrastructure Ranking While it is clear that inadequate or lack of infrastructure is a major impediment to all-inclusive growth, available data from the World Economic Forum indicates that Nigeria’s infrastructure ranking is at the lowest levels almost comparable with that of failed and poverty stricken states like Somalia and Sudan.
- 5. The Financial need In a recent report by the Institute of appraisers and cost engineers published in the Vanguard newspapers of September 8th 2015, it was revealed that Nigeria’s Infrastructure master plan would require a minimum of $2.9 trillion dollars in aggregate investments to successfully manage Nigeria’s infrastructure deficit.
- 6. Investment opportunity? Growth sectors will continue to create demand for infrastructure investment. Connections to road, rail and public transport are vital for urban success. Doing business in Africa remains a challenge as infrastructure lags well behind the rest of the world, but there are distinct regional differences. Recent PwC research suggests that infrastructure spending in sub-Saharan Africa will exceed US$180* billion per annum by 2025, a growth rate of 10% per annum. Major infrastructure investment programmes in Nigeria and South Africa are now being accompanied by significant projects in other countries like Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique and Tanzania. However, a huge shortfall in government funding creates opportunities for private investors to support this development need through direct investment and public-private partnership (PPP) agreements.

- 8. How to Harness the opportunity?? Capitalizing on the influence of government policy and legislation to reduce corruption and increase efficiency Establishment or set up of infrastructure investment funds Using existing sources of funds from multilateral agencies to attract the private sector and its desire to match risk with the decision to invest will increase infavour of infrastructure projects Effective use of public and private partnership agreements that facilitate the delivery of services and needed infrastructure that are aligned to both government and private sectors’
- 9. Proposed Solutions Establish privately managed infrastructure investments funds backed by a “divestiture Infrastructure development strategy or DIDS”, with the rationale being the shift from government ownership and financing of infrastructure projects to private operations aimed at moving the delivery of public services from inefficient, debt ridden, and subsidy prone state owned enterprises to self-supporting private project financing institutions. This will reduce the burden on the government’s budget deficit and expand coverage of private services to facilitate economic growth and the essential and much needed development. The strategic drive of attracting enhanced and structured long term private capital through PPP’s and domestic funding sources will be driven by the methodic application of certified and rigorous project preparatory work models via engagement of financial, legal and technical advisory for due diligence purposes and quality construction development as “Bundled Public Private Partnerhips” or BP3’s.
