FG Invests N2.7 Trillion in Infrastructure Development – Presidential Aide
Imeh Okon, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Infrastructure, says the federal government has invested about N2.7 trillion in the development of infrastructure in the last three years.
Mr Okon said this during a High Level Stakeholders Retreat on Public Private Partnership (PPP) in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital on Friday.
“So far, the federal government has invested N2.7 trillion in infrastructure in the last three years and as you can see, some of the dividends have been the N100 billion that we have injected into the rail project.
“What we have done as a government is to go back to the 25-year Master Plan on the rail sector. All what you are seeing right now is in terms of rail infrastructure as a result of the Master plan that was on ground.”
She said the essence of the retreat was to bring stakeholders together to deliberate and develop on policies that would be suitable for the country.
She said the federal government was committed to the development of infrastructure in the country, adding that infrastructural development enhances growth.
