Industry Snapshot
Infrastructure financing gaps of this scale are a global phenomenon: many emerging and developing economies face annual investment needs that public revenue alone cannot fund, and inconsistent, project-by-project PPP negotiation, with no common risk-allocation standard, remains a leading cause of prolonged negotiations, legal disputes, and reduced investor confidence across markets.
Case in point, Nigeria: the infrastructure deficit is estimated at $2.3 trillion, requiring roughly $100 billion in annual investment to close by 2043; in response, the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC) is introducing a Model PPP Agreement and decentralised approval thresholds from 2026.
Challenges and Industry Gaps
- A capital gap so large it requires structural private-sector mobilisation, not incremental public spending
- Historically inconsistent, project-by-project PPP negotiation with no common risk-allocation standard, increasing transaction costs and deterring lenders
- Foreign exchange volatility, land acquisition disputes, and policy inconsistency that continue to discourage long-term infrastructure capital in a number of markets
- A trust deficit between public sponsors and private investors that slows commercial and financial close
How do We fill the gap
- Build every state-level project on standardised, bankable term sheets aligned with the new federal Model PPP Agreement, cutting the negotiation time that has historically discouraged lenders
- Coordinate blended finance, combining development finance institutions, export credit agencies, and private capital, to mobilise long-term funding that government budgets cannot provide alone
- Provide structuring that explicitly addresses FX exposure and land/title risk up front, rather than leaving them to be renegotiated mid-project
- Act as an independent, repeat-credibility intermediary between public sponsors and private investors, addressing the trust deficit that has stalled prior deals in many jurisdictions
