Mr Alex A. Okoh, the Director General of the Bureau of Public Enterprises, said this is in line with the  Agency’s new role in the Administration of Concession Programme of the Federal Government of Nigeria.

“This will help to document a pipeline of PPP projects across various sectors of the economy.

“A number of the Ministries, Departments and Agencies have already submitted their PPP Projects Information Data; the final date for submission is May 31, 2021,”  he said.
