There are many abandoned projects in the country because successive governments often execute different projects from their predecessors. Once a project passes Federal Executive Council and National Assembly approval, it should be binding. Some countries like South Africa succeeded because their programmes are backed by essential laws, not just policy. The country must also insulate technical institutions like the Bank of Industry (BOI) from political control. Contract overpricing is cancerous to Nigeria’s infrastructure. I can use a soil type definition to increase the cost of a one-kilometre road from two billion to five billion naira, and there is nothing you can do about it. Infrastructure is the backbone of our economic success. We are currently partnering with telecom giants to deploy fibre optic cables and working on port projects to facilitate trade.
