In ensuring transparency in the public-private partnership (PPP) model being deployed by the federal government to finance critical infrastructure projects, the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC) has launched a contract disclosure portal.

The portal will hold information on all aspects of infrastructural projects being done in the country through public-private partnership (PPP) from completion stage to the parties involved in the projects.

Speaking at the launch, the Director-General of the ICRC, Chidi Izuwah, said the portal would ensure timely disclosure of contract information from project initiation through to the implementation and hand-back phase of PPP projects to the government.

Izuwah, in a presentation at the event, revealed that the World Bank and ICRC had developed the dedicated web portal for the disclosure of all PPP contracts information by the government.

According to him, the disclosure exercise supported President Mohammadu Buhari’s effort of institutionalize  transparency and accountability in the procurement of PPP projects in Nigeria.

He further pointed out that the onus for information generation and uploading on the web-based platform would be shared by ICRC, the contracting authority, and the private party to the contract.

“Information will be uploaded by the contracting authority and ICRC after redacting confidential information.

“The contracting authority will upload all information and documents in the web-based platform, so as to leave at least seven days within the given timelines for ICRC to validate and approve the information for public disclosure.

“The web portal will be dynamic in nature. More information is made available as the various projects progress. It will be a repository of information of current happenings and events regarding PPPs in Nigeria,” he explained.

The ICRC boss said the portal’s framework clearly showed the various elements for disclosure depending on the stage the project is in.

He noted further that the information provided was limited to the project title and type, government agency responsible, name of the private concessionaire (where selected), and duration of the concession for the projects.

A PPP is a contractual agreement between a public agency (federal, state or local) and a private sector entity.

Through this agreement, the skills and assets of each sector (public and private) are shared in delivering a service or facility for the use of the general public.

In addition to the sharing of resources, each party shares in the risks and rewards potential in the delivery of the service and/or facility.

ICRC is the main repository of information of Federal PPP projects in the country.

ICRC regularly publishes news and general information on its website, on PPP activities, workshops, events, and basic information on legacy, on-going, and under-consideration PPPs.
