Minister of budget and economic planning Atiku Bagudu has appealed to the United Kingdom Nigeria Infrastructure Advisory Facility (UKNiAF) for technical
assistance to improve the capacity of ministries, departments and agencies in the identification and packaging of bankable projects, particularly on how to plan, finance, deliver and maintain infrastructure.
“The limited capacity of the MDAs in the identification and packaging of bankable projects still remains an obstacle to infrastructure delivery in Nigeria as it has limited private sector investment in infrastructure development,” the planning and economic minister said yesterday when he received a delegation from UKNiAF in his office in Abuja.
UKNiAF is a four-year technical assistance programme that aims to transform Nigeria’s capacity to plan, finance, deliver and maintain climate-smart, critical infrastructure. The focus is to achieve transformation through technical support in two component areas: power and infrastructure finance. Leader of the delegation Frank Edozie said the visit was to brief the new minister about the programme, the level of progress and to “know your priority sectors,” so that the programme managers can key into his agender.
Mr Bagudu asked for the provision of technical and financial support to develop 2023-2027 national integrated infrastructure master plan implementation plan.
