Nigeria Infrastructure Forum 2008

"Today we are talking about Nigeria’s potential to become one of the 20 largest economies in the world by the year 2020. That is a measure of how far we have come.

Central to this is rebuilding our basic infrastructure. We already have comprehensive plans for mass transportation, especially railroad development. We will make these plans a reality.

Equally important, we must devote our best efforts to overcoming the energy challenge. Over the next four years we will see dramatic improvements in power generation, transmission and distribution."

HE Umaru Yar’Adua
President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
