Description

The Sokoto State Government is looking to partner with the private sector in the construction and maintenance of roads in the state.

Investment Opportunity

A number of roads have been identified where private sector participation is needed.

The practice of public private partnerships in development has yielded outstanding results in nations where it has been implemented, particularly in the areas of health, education, energy, water and transportation. The Sokoto State Government is therefore eager to adopt this system in road construction.

It is proposed that the investment can be recouped through toll although the state government is willing to negotiate with prospective investors on the issue of revenue generation.

Road Users

With a population of close to 4 million Sokoto State has a large number of road users. Increased commercial activity should also increase the number of vehicles on the road.
