On May 11, 2026, the Federal Executive Council (FEC) of Nigeria approved three major Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects aimed at enhancing the country's transport data management system and boosting electricity supply in key economic hubs, including the Onne Port Complex in Rivers State. The approvals were announced after the FEC meeting chaired by President Bola Tinubu.
The projects include a comprehensive upgrade of the National Transport Data Management System to improve logistics efficiency, and two power infrastructure initiatives to increase reliable electricity supply at the Onne Port and other industrial zones. The FEC stated that these projects are part of the government's broader strategy to attract private investment and modernize critical infrastructure.
Specific details on the project costs and timelines were not immediately disclosed, but the FEC emphasized that the PPP model would ensure efficient delivery and reduce the burden on public finances. The Onne Port, a key oil and gas logistics hub, is expected to benefit from improved power supply, which has been a persistent challenge for port operations.
This approval follows previous FEC decisions to prioritize infrastructure development through PPPs, aligning with the administration's economic reform agenda. Further announcements on project implementation are expected in the coming weeks.
