Vice President Kashim Shettima on Monday declared Nigeria ready and open for business as he officially opened the Nigeria 2025 Public-Private Partnership Summit at the State House, Abuja.
The event, organised by the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission, brought together stakeholders from government and the private sector to explore strategies for closing Nigeria’s $2.3 trillion infrastructure gap.
Delivering his remarks on behalf of President Bola Tinubu, Shettima stated, “We are not seeking investors to carry burdens; we are opening opportunities to create value. We want long-term partners ready to bridge our infrastructure gap with purpose, precision, and integrity.”
He underscored that Nigeria can no longer build a modern economy on outdated infrastructure, adding that exclusive reliance on government funding for capital projects was unsustainable
