Nigeria infrastructure and economic overview

Nigeria’s construction industry remains a central driver of national infrastructure development, focusing on highways, bridges, railways, and airports. Major players in this sector include companies like Setraco Nigeria Limited, led by Managing Director Engr. Ziad Mouannes. Setraco, established in 1977, manages significant projects such as the dualisation of the Sapele–Ewu Road in Delta State and various bridge and road constructions.

On a broader scale, Nigeria maintains one of Africa’s largest economies, characterized by a mixed system of government and private sector participation. While the nation possesses vast natural resources, a large population, and growing technology and agricultural sectors, the economy faces challenges including rising living costs, unemployment, and low purchasing power.
