Lagos, May 25, 2021 Some experts on Tuesday called for the Public-Private partnership (PPP) funding model to address Nigeriaâs infrastructural constraints for advancement in intra-African trade and export diversification.
The experts gave the advice at a webinar organised by Arbiterz Media Ltd with the theme: âAfCFTA: Revamping Nigeriaâs Infrastructure for Global Trade.â
They noted that addressing the countryâs infrastructural gaps through the PPP would also boost its competitiveness in the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and globally.
Mrs Tariye Gbadegesin, the Managing Director, ARM-Tarith Infrastructure Fund, said national infrastructure across ports, inland hubs, rail, roads among others, were necessary to upscale the manufacturing sector.
