The growth trajectory would be supported by investment in electricity, transport, manufacturing, housing, and oil and gas sectors, the report said.

The industry’s growth will be supported by the N7.7 trillion ($9.1 billion) National Development Plan 2021-25, under which, the government sets out multilateral increases in the length of the total paved network, the country’s cargo handling capacity and aviation passenger traffic, and the percentage of road network under scheduled maintenance and repair.

Furthermore, the government aims to diversify total energy consumption towards renewable electricity, from 13 per cent (2015) to 23 per cent (2025) to 36 per cent (2030), under the Renewable Energy Master Plan (REMP).

The growth will also be supported by the “National Automotive Industry Development Plan” (NADIP) 2023-2033, pertaining to a target increase in Nigerian vehicles production, of which 30 per cent will be Electric Vehicles (EVs), generating one million jobs over the ten year-period.

Furthermore, challenges in the oil sector, such as oil theft and attacks on facilities, pose major downside risks to the industry’s growth in the short term.

Despite these challenges, forecasted growth in 2024 is conducive to the government’s focus to address rising energy prices and slowing economic growth, tackled through an expansive 2024 Budget amassing expenditure of N27.5 trillion ($32.3 billion). Good p

Specifically, the budget includes capital expenditure of N7.7 trillion ($9.1 billion), an allocation of N548.6 billion ($922.2 million) for road construction, and N99 billion ($166.4 million) for housing development.
