Following plans by the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing to concession 12 federal highways to private entities to manage, built environment professionals have not stopped to laud the authority over the proposed initiative, saying it’s long overdue considering the infrastructure deficit in the country.
Aside from pledging their support for government, they also offered useful suggestions on the best ways to achieve the initiative.
The Federal Government is towing this route in a bid to ensure the regular maintenance of its road network across Nigeria.
The arrangement would enable the private companies to introduce toll gates on the 12 highways and collect revenue which they would use and regularly maintain such roads.
