The Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC) says governors should use the public-private partnership (PPP) projects to bridge infrastructural gaps in their states.
Jobson Ewalefoh, director-general of the ICRC, spoke when he hosted Lucky Aiyedatiwa, governor of Ondo, who was at the ICRC office to discuss PPP projects in his state.
A statement quoted Ewalefoh as saying the administration of President Bola Tinubu is committed to collaborations with the state governments that would bring about “improved infrastructure” for Nigerians.
“The meeting today is part of the efforts at the ICRC to forge collaborations between the National and Sub-nationals in terms of delivering infrastructure for Nigerians,” he said.

Other state governors should emulate the governor [of Ondo] by collaborating with the commission to advance their PPP endeavours.
The director-general said his commission is ready to provide support and guidance to the state governments on their PPP projects.
On his part, Aiyedatiwa said the commission is doing a good job regulating and advancing PPPs across the country.
