The Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, has said $2.3trn is needed to modernise Nigeria’s infrastructure over the next 21 years.

The minister disclosed this while speaking at the Integrated Infrastructural Research for Development conference held in Abuja on Friday.

She said, “In the national development plan, we have cost the investment that is required; $2.3trn with a private sector contribution of 86 per cent anticipated between 2021 to 2025. Speaking further, Ahmed noted that extensive consultation with the private sector had created an innovative approach to financing infrastructure projects.

“We started the Road Infrastructure Development and Refurbishment Investment Tax Credit Scheme launched in 2019 to leverage private sector capital via tax credits, and provide private sector expertise to construct, repair and maintain critical road infrastructure in key economic growth corridors and industrial clusters in Nigeria.
