Nigeria Infrastructure & Construction - Driving Economic Growth Construction & Infrastructure • According to the latest 10-year forecast from Global Construction Perspectives and Oxford Economics, construction growth in Nigeria will be the fastest of all markets • The new study says China will overtake the US as the world’s biggest construction market by 2018, but that the fastest growth will happen in Nigeria • The report, which named Nigeria “global hotspot from here to 2020” says the nation’s construction growth is even faster than India’s, reflecting increased wealth and urbanisation resulting from the country’s oil production • It stated that from 2009 to 2020, only Nigeria and India will enjoy higher growth rates than China in their construction output • There has been significant growth in the sector with some projections anticipating average expansion by 15% to 17% by 2012 • This would make the construction industry worth more than $60 billion • Infrastructure is the hottest sector to be in and that “it is set to grow in emerging markets by a staggering 128 per cent from now to 2020, compared with just 18 percent over the same period in developed countries”
Railway • Nigeria has one of the most extensive national rail networks in Africa, second only to South Africa in length • Rail lines run to the northwest, northeast, southwest, and southeast of the country • The construction on the Abuja-Kaduna railway - estimated cost of the project is US$875mn, making it the largest transport infrastructure project under construction in Nigeria
Roads • Nigeria has developed an extensive national road network in the last few years • Both paved and unpaved road network densities are more than twice as high as those for the peer group of resource-rich African countries
Ports • Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) has been extensively restructured and decentralized into four new autonomous port authorities: Lagos, Calabar, Port Harcourt, and Delta
Air transport • Nigeria’s air transport market tripled in size in the last few years and this growth was driven almost entirely by a dramatic expansion in the domestic air transport market • Among its Sub-Saharan peers, the size of Nigeria’s market is second only to South Africa
Power • Reforms and privatisation continue in the Nigerian power sector • With the success of IPP’s there are now 100’s of global companies expressing interest in state-owned distribution and generation companies due to be privatised. • Strong public and private investment in Nigeria’s power industries is set to help expand GDP growth to reach targets in place needed for Nigeria to become one of the world’s twenty largest economies by 2020.
Communication • Over the past decade, some $16 billion has been invested in projects related to mobile services in Nigeria
