Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, on Tuesday, inaugurated the National Council on Infrastructure.
According to him, the council will help bridge the widening gap in infrastructure development while also expanding the frontiers of Public-Private sector collaboration.
This was according to a statement signed by the Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande.
Prof. Osinbajo, who formally inaugurated the Council during a virtual meeting which he presided over on Tuesday, stated that, “For efficient and effective implementation of infrastructure projects, the National Integrated Infrastructure Master Plan recommended the establishment of the National Council on Infrastructure and its Technical Working Group.”
He added that the National Integrated Infrastructure Master Plan was developed to provide “an integrated view of infrastructure development in Nigeria with clear linkages across key sectors and identifies enablers for successful implementation in line with the current economic realities.
“The success of the National Integrated Infrastructure Master Plan will depend, to a large extent, on the establishment of a strong implementation mechanism and framework that promotes performance and accountability.”
