Your hard work, vision and excellence have paid off.we are proud of you Sir.More grace more wins,more achievements ahead
Recently, we took another important step toward unlocking the immense potential of Nigeria’s tourism and creative economy through a strategic engagement with the Honourable @fmactce_nigeria of Art, Culture, Tourism and the Creative Economy, @hanneymusawa , on the development of critical tourism infrastructure projects through Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs).
Our discussions focused on transformative projects including the development of a world-class 7-star hotel infrastructure, a modern concert and entertainment arena, the revitalisation of national museums for tourism and cultural purposes, as well as strategic collaborations within the film and creative industry ecosystem.
What was exciting about this conversation is the shared understanding that infrastructure is at the heart of building a globally competitive tourism and creative economy.
The Minister reiterated that Nigeria has the talent, culture, creativity, music, fashion, food, and demographic strength to become a leading tourism and entertainment hub, but we must intentionally build the infrastructure that supports this vision.
The goal of unlocking a $100 billion tourism and creative economy by 2030 is ambitious, but achievable with the right partnerships, policies, and infrastructure in place.
The Minister showed grit, focus, and true passion for developing our creative economy and I look forward to working closely with the Ministry and private sector partners to turn these ideas into transformational projects that will redefine Nigeria’s tourism and creative landscape.
Today, we celebrate the backbone of our nation; the hardworking men and women whose dedication drives progress across every sector of Nigeria.
As a country, our workforce remains our greatest asset. People who are resilient, capable, and committed to building a stronger, more prosperous Nigeria. Our sacrifices, professionalism, and unwavering commitment show in the sustainable economy that we are building for ourselves and the generations to come.
As we mark this year’s Workers’ Day, I
want to say thank you for showing up, for pushing through challenges, and for continuing to believe in the work we are doing together to improve the quality of life for all Nigerians.
Happy Workers’ Day.
When we champion Nigeria as a good investment destination, we do so with much confidence and assurance of sustainability to our investors locally and internationally.
Receiving the delegation from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) recently, led by the Managing Director, Harry Boyd-Carpenter further proved how much favorable it has become to do business in Nigeria.
Our engagement focused on unlocking stronger collaboration opportunities for Nigeria’s infrastructure and economic development agenda. The EBRD’s interest in Nigeria is particularly encouraging because it goes beyond financing. Their model emphasizes ensuring that projects have a clear pathway to success, sustainability, and long-term impact before investments are made.
The Bank expressed strong interest in supporting Nigeria through corporate finance, project finance, and equity participation in infrastructure projects. Their scope of engagement spans the public sector, private sector, and MDAs, demonstrating a broad commitment to driving growth across key sectors of the economy.
Importantly, the EBRD also conveyed its willingness to support policy development and institutional frameworks that can strengthen investor confidence and improve project delivery outcomes.
With operations in over 70 countries, the EBRD brings global expertise, strategic capital, and a development-focused approach that aligns with the ICRC’s vision of delivering bankable, sustainable, and transformational PPP projects for Nigeria.
For us as at ICRC, we look forward to deepening this engagement and building partnerships that will accelerate infrastructure delivery, strengthen institutions, and create lasting value for the Nigerian people.
@JOBSON_EWALEFOH Kudos to ICRC, Ministry of Justice, and all involved 🙌. Transparency and accountability FTW! 🌟 What's next for PPP projects in Nigeria?
Yesterday, we were delighted to receive the Administrator/CEO of the Public Service Institute of Nigeria (PSIN), Barrister Imeh Okon, and her team at the ICRC.
The new PSIN leadership shared their vision and explored how the Institute can support ICRC’s priorities, especially in leveraging private sector financing to upgrade and optimize key facilities.
This meeting underscored once again that strong public sector collaboration is essential for national development. When institutions work together, align priorities, and embrace innovative financing models, we move faster and deliver better outcomes for Nigerians.
Together, we look forward to the exciting possibilities ahead as we deepen our partnership with PSIN in Nation building and infrastructure development.

At the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC), leadership is not just about giving direction; it’s about being present in the process, asking the right questions, and ensuring no detail is left unattended. I believe in leading from the front, because the work we do demands both vision and hands-on involvement.
Every successful Public-Private Partnership begins with clarity of process, structure, and purpose. I make it my responsibility to guide my team through these steps, ensuring that every project we handle is backed by rigorous analysis, strategic alignment, and a clear pathway to delivery.
Infrastructure development is too important to be left to chance. That’s why I take an active role in streamlining our processes, removing bottlenecks, and ensuring that our strategies align with Nigeria’s broader development goals
