ABOUT ICRC
Established under the ICRC Act of 2005, the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission regulates Public-Private Partnerships across Nigeria, ensuring transparency, accountability and sustainable infrastructure delivery.
WHO WE ARE
The ICRC was established to regulate Public Private Partnership (PPP) endeavours of the Federal government aimed at addressing Nigeria’s physical infrastructure deficit which hampers economic development.
The pioneer Governing Body of ICRC was inaugurated on 27 November, 2008 by the late President Umaru Musa Yar’adua, GCFR. The pioneer Board had a former Nigerian Head of State, Chief Ernest Shonekan, as its Chairman and a seasoned technocrat, Engr. Mansur Ahmed, as its Director General from 2008 – 2012.
The immediate past ICRC Governing Board was constituted in August 2013 by former President Goodluck Jonathan, GCFR, with former Senate President, Dr. Ken Nnamani, GCON as the Chairman and Barr. Aminu Diko as the Director General from 2013 – 2017. Engr. Chidi K. C. Izuwah was the Director General from 2017 – 2021 after which Barr. Michael Aniku Ohiani took over from 2021 – July 2024.
Dr. Jobson Oseodion Ewalefoh is currently the Director General of the Commission. He was appointed and confirmed as Director General in July, 2024.

FAQ
Common questions from citizens, investors and public officials.
A PPP is a long-term contract between a public authority and a private partner to deliver a public asset or service, with shared risk and clearly allocated responsibilities.
ICRC regulates federal PPPs across all MDAs — issuing OBC Certificates of Compliance, monitoring procurement and enforcing contract compliance across the lifecycle.
Qualified private developers, financiers and consortia — domestic and international — can participate in open, competitive procurements published on the Investor Centre.
The ICRC PPP Disclosure Portal publishes contract summaries, OBC certificates, tender awards and performance reports for every federal concession.
