Ask Atiku Abubakar — Official Citizen Engagement Platform

What is your plan for fixing Nigeria's roads, rail and ports?

I will build an integrated national infrastructure system that reduces costs, connects markets, and drives economic growth. This means moving from fragmented infrastructure to a coordinated system where roads, rail, ports, air, and waterways work together to support trade, industry, and daily life. I will develop a national integrated transport network linking rail, roads, ports, and airports, and prioritize infrastructure that supports agriculture, industry, and exports. I will also use public-private partnerships to accelerate delivery and improve efficiency.

I will bring in private investors to finance development with their own capital, while government provides targeted incentives, including tax concessions where appropriate. This will allow us to build infrastructure, create jobs and grow the economy without borrowing or taxing the citizens excessively.
