‎He said the two-day event aimed to redefine how Nigeria mobilised private capital and expertise to address its vast infrastructure needs.

‎Ewalefoh emphasised the summit’s focus on practical outcomes, saying it was not just about speeches but about dismantling bottlenecks and unlocking capital to create visible impact.

‎He said the impact would be seen across various sectors, including power lines, railways, hospitals, broadband, transportation, agriculture, education, and tourism.

‎“We believe PPPs are the bridge between vision and reality,” he said.

‎He added that under President Bola Tinubu’s leadership, the Renewed Hope Agenda was a national mission, with Nigeria actively building, financing, and delivering change in real time.

‎‎“The summit will highlight Nigeria’s investment potential in infrastructure through a streamlined PPP process designed to attract real value and shift from policy discussions to tangible projects.

‎“The opening ceremony will be held at the State House Banquet Hall, featuring a keynote address by President Tinubu and a special address by Dr Benedict Oramah, President of Afreximbank.

‎“Goodwill messages will also be delivered by the Vice-President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), the Regional Director of the International Finance Corporation (IFC), and other distinguished guests.
