The Minister of Works, David Umahi, has held a meeting with stakeholders and concessionaires in an effort by the federal government to enhance transparency in Nigeria’s Highway Development Management Initiative (HDMI) signed under the previous administration.
In a statement by Umahi’s spokesman, Uchenna Orji, the minister noted that this will enhance funding and private sector participation in the road infrastructure development under the HDMI.
Besides, he said that it aims to have a more realistic, transparent and productive approach to financing in the construction and maintenance of road projects under Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs).
