ICRC DG Ewalefoh Supports Effective Implementation of PPP Laws Over Review

The Director-General and Chief Executive Officer of the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC), Jobson Oseodion Ewalefoh, has cautioned against calls for a review of Nigeria’s Public-Private Partnership (PPP) laws, arguing that effective implementation, rather than a review, is needed to address issues within the sector. This stance was taken during the recently concluded Nigeria Economic Summit (NES32), where Ewalefoh emphasized that no law can change a person’s character, implying that the issue lies with the individuals involved in the implementation of the PPP laws.

According to THISDAYLIVE, Ewalefoh’s remarks at the summit highlight the need for a shift in focus from constantly reviewing the laws to ensuring their effective implementation. The article also notes that the ICRC DG’s stance could signal a more proactive approach to addressing challenges within the PPP sector.

This development is significant as it underscores the importance of implementing existing laws effectively in Nigeria’s infrastructure development sector. By prioritizing implementation over review, the ICRC is taking a practical step towards addressing the issues that have hindered the success of PPP projects in the country.
