President Bola Tinubu has directed the immediate execution of all approved infrastructure projects nationwide, emphasizing the need for sustainable and inclusive development.
Represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima at the 2025 Nigeria Public-Private Partnership Summit, Tinubu stressed that his administration is determined to deliver tangible results, cautioning against bureaucratic delays.
The President highlighted the importance of fast-tracking approvals for viable projects and intensifying coordination among Ministries, Departments, and Agencies to ensure rapid implementation.
He noted that Nigeria’s potential has not always been matched by action and called for a new path of alignment and decisive action in nation-building.
Tinubu emphasized the need for innovation and collaboration, stating that the old model of public-only infrastructure funding is no longer sustainable.
He urged private sector stakeholders to look beyond perceived risks and seize opportunities to contribute to a rapidly transforming economy, emphasizing the importance of integrity, innovation, and efficiency.
The President reaffirmed the government’s commitment to the National Integrated Infrastructure Master Plan, which aims to increase Nigeria’s infrastructure stock from 30-35% of GDP to 70% by 2043. However, he cautioned that blueprints alone do not build roads and that policies must be accompanied by action.
