We have posted about the infrastructure sector in Nigeria already a
couple of times. By 2050, Nigeria is expected to be the 6th largest country in the world, with an estimated population of 287 million people.
An estimated US$15b is required annually to adequately fund Nigeria's infrastructure deficits. Toll road concessions are the only application of PPP in Nigeria but the country needs the use of PPPs beyond concessions (i.e. PPP in health and social sectors, availabiity payments for roads...)
