Abuja: Jobson Ewalefoh, Director-General of the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC), has called on citizens to enter 2026 with renewed hope, shared responsibility, and confidence in the nation’s infrastructure future. Ewalefoh emphasized the importance of infrastructure as a key driver of economic growth, national productivity, and improved quality of life for Nigerians.
According to News Agency of Nigeria, Ewalefoh, in a statement on Wednesday, described the New Year as a period for reflection and recommitment. He highlighted that a new year represents more than just a change of date; it is an opportunity to build, serve, and deliver lasting value to the people. Ewalefoh stressed that infrastructure is fundamentally about people, providing access, opportunity, and dignity.
Ewalefoh noted that approvals granted by the Federal Executive Council to critical Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects in 2025 serve as reassuring indications that the government is steadily laying the foundations to close the nation’s infrastructure gap. He urged citizens to embrace the transition into a new year with renewed faith, stronger unity, and a collective resolve to apply lessons learned from the past with optimism and compassion.
As Nigeria enters the new year, Ewalefoh emphasized the focus should be on delivery, expressing hope that God will grant the nation peace and wisdom, leading to renewed hope, steady progress, and lasting prosperity for all Nigerians.
