What happened
The Nigerian Society of Engineers stated that the construction market in Nigeria does not suffer from a lack of demand. The organization noted that population growth is increasing daily, and cities are expanding, creating a continuous need for housing, power, water, and industrial infrastructure. The NSE urged stakeholders in the infrastructure industry to plan beyond 2026, noting that urbanisation and infrastructure deficits will drive demand in the coming years.

Why it matters
The NSE noted that while projects exist, the market often struggles with the successful completion and maintenance of projects. Continued population growth and urban expansion ensure a pipeline of projects requiring financing and execution in the Nigerian market.
Nigeria is developing infrastructure, involving NEDC, aimed at achieving regional economic growth.
