Funding Nigeria’s infrastructure deficit

The far-reaching benefits of investing in infrastructure cannot be overemphasized, especially for a country with a population growth rate of over three percent like Nigeria. Bolaji Balogun, CEO of Chapel Hill Denham joined CNBC Africa’s Esther Awoniyi to explore innovative ways to fund Nigeria’s infrastructure deficit.

Thank you Esther for your very thoughtful probing questions and to Bolaji for bringing his expertise and knowledge to Nigerian infrastructure deficit issues. Esther is there any financial and investment institutions or bodies out there interested in drawing upon the Nigerian diaspora who are collectively transferring billions to Nigerian economy annually and who can be active investors in this area. Could you invite anyone who could throw some lights on this.

Deepening Nigeria's pension funds holds a lot of potential for the country. Patient money like that could be used to help along infrastructure, the mortgage industry, etc. The FG should really encourage participation from all sectors of the economy including the Police and Armed Forces.

Blah blah you can talk until the end of time, if you don’t have good roads its all a waste.
