The Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE) has outlined steps with timelines in the next 12 months to two years; to showcase its collective achievements through the implementation of the new federal government’s circular on the administration of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects in the country, Director-General of the privatisation agency, Mr. Alex A. Okoh has said.
At the end of a one-day webinar organized by the BPE on deepening the Nigerian Infrastructure stock through Public-Private Partnership (PPP) which held recently,Okoh said the first step involves the engagement with Key Ministries, Departments and Agencies to workout modalities for implementing the FGN circular.
He said, in the first quarter of 2021, the Bureau would develop and circulate a template that would enable MDAs to document all the ongoing PPP transactions and their current status and that the Bureau, working together with the MDAs, would host two additional webinars in the first quarter of next year.
“One of the webinars will be targeted at local and international financial institutions, including international development financial institutions. These are the partners that are expected to provide funding to investors in the Nigerian PPP market”, he stated.
