Nigeria
Nigeria's infrastructure market spans transport, energy, ports, aviation and major public-private investment programmes, with federal institutions and sector regulators supporting project development, procurement and concession structures. The active pipeline includes major rail, road, gas, power and deep-sea port projects, while recent reforms in taxation, corporate law, arbitration and secured transactions shape the wider investment and project-finance environment.
Latest Developments
- Project · 7 September 2026FG, APM Terminals sign MoU for Badagry Deep Sea Port
The Federal Government and APM Terminals signed a Memorandum of Understanding for exclusive negotiations on the Badagry Deep Sea Port concession. This is a negotiation milestone, not a binding concession or financial-close event — everything beyond the MoU (RFQ/RFP, preferred bidder, award, financial close) remains forecast.
- Project · 5 September 2026LAMATA confirms Lagos Blue Line has carried 9m+ passengers in 70,000+ trips over three years
LAMATA published an official update confirming the Lagos Rail Mass Transit Blue Line has carried more than 9 million passengers across over 70,000 trips in its three years of operation since opening 4 September 2023 — a genuinely current, primary-sourced operating statistic.
- Project · 3 September 2026AKK Gas Pipeline reaches 95% completion; OB3 pipeline reported ready for first gas
NNPC-attributed reporting placed the AKK Gas Pipeline at 95% physical completion, with the related OB3 (Obiafu-Obrikom-Oben) pipeline separately described as ready for first gas. This reporting does not explicitly confirm AKK's own first-gas delivery event, which remains unconfirmed as achieved as of the research cutoff.
