Wale Edun Unveils Ambitious Economic Plan At KPMG Budget Summit

Driving Private Sector Investment and Infrastructure Growth

A key theme of Mr. Edun’s address was the role of the private sector in driving economic expansion.

He highlighted public-private partnerships (PPPs) as a critical tool to close Nigeria’s $100 billion annual infrastructure investment gap.

Landmark projects such as the Benin-Asaba Highway and Lagos-Abeokuta Road are set to be developed under PPP frameworks, reducing travel time and boosting productivity.

In the oil and gas sector, Mr. Edun emphasized the importance of domestic refining, with the Dangote Refinery now leading local crude petroleum processing. This shift will significantly reduce reliance on imports, strengthen energy security, and enhance economic resilience.

How the Bola Tinubu Administration is Enabling Nigeria’s Gas Sector for Growth

For years, the country has focused mostly on its oil production and has made this one of its most exported goods, while neglecting the exploitation of other minerals and resources. This is only fair and understandable. The black gold contributes over 90% of the country’s Foreign Exchange earnings, and about two-thirds of the Federal Government’s revenues. And indeed oil sales have been lucrative. But in recent years both sales and production have suffered challenges, whether due to OPEC quotas, security challenges around drilling sites, global economic instability among other factors, leaving oil production and sales at an all-time decline. Invariably this has led to rising costs of petroleum products, especially with the removal of the Federal Government’s subsidies on petrol.

It is this shift that has pushed the government to focus its attention on exploiting gas as a more sustainable alternative. This resource has gone unexplored for years yet it is a cleaner and cheaper alternative. Gas can be used for mostly the same energy needs that petroleum serves, including transportation and power generation.

By Dayo Dare Nigeria is blessed with an abundance of minerals and natural resources. One of the most popular which the nation is well known for is its oil reserves which stand at about 37 billion barrels, ranking second largest in the world. But more than oil, Nigeria also holds over 209 Trillion Cu...
