The Federal Government is pressing ahead with an ambitious expansion of transport and power infrastructure, laying the groundwork for long-term economic growth.
According to the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Public Communications, Sunday Dare, major projects are underway across the country, including 36 key roads such as the Lagos coastal road and the Sokoto-Badagry highway. These developments, he said, are supported by a N5.9 trillion allocation in the 2025 budget.

The government is also focusing on industrial zones, with the Lekki Free Trade Zone highlighted as a prime example of how infrastructure investment can attract multi-billion-dollar industries. The Dangote refinery, he noted, has directly benefited from improved road and port access.
Beyond transport, efforts to stabilise the power sector are a priority, with investments aimed at ensuring businesses and households receive more reliable electricity—seen as essential for industrial growth and economic expansion.
