…Says nation’s future assured
…Nigeria making steady progress in closing infrastructure gap
The Director-General of the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC), Jobson Oseodion Ewalefoh has called on Nigerians to enter 2026 with renewed hope, shared responsibility, and confidence in Nigeria’s infrastructure future.
Ewalefoh described the New Year as a moment for reflection and recommitment, noting that infrastructure remains one of the strongest enablers of economic growth, national productivity, and improved quality of life for Nigerians.
“A new year is not only a change of date; it is a renewed opportunity to build, to serve, and to deliver lasting value to our people. Infrastructure is ultimately about people — about access, opportunity, and dignity,” he said.
Reflecting on developments in 2025, Ewalefoh said the Federal Executive Council’s approvals of key Public–Private Partnership (PPP) projects provide reassurance that the Federal Government is steadily laying the foundations for closing the nation’s infrastructure gap through well-structured, private-sector-led solutions.

He noted that the transition into a new year is also a time to renew faith, strengthen bonds of unity, and carry forward the lessons of the past with optimism, compassion, and a shared sense of purpose for the year ahead.
According to him, “As we enter a new year, our focus must be on delivery, and may God grant our nation peace and wisdom, bringing renewed hope, steady progress, and lasting prosperity for all Nigerians.”
