Projects, Infrastructure & PPPs – Legal Structuring of Public-Private Partnerships

Infrastructure development is critical to Nigeria’s growth, and public-private partnerships (PPPs) are increasingly central to delivering large-scale projects. At Sambo Muritala & Co, we provide legal support for structuring, financing, and implementing PPP projects across transport, energy, housing, and healthcare sectors.
We advise government agencies, investors, and contractors on concession agreements, joint ventures, and project financing arrangements. Our team has reviewed and drafted agreements that allocate risks fairly, ensure compliance with regulatory frameworks, and protect client interests.

Our involvement includes advising a state government on the legal structuring of a road concession project, guiding negotiations between the government, private investors, and financiers. We also represented a consortium in developing a housing project under a PPP model, ensuring that contractual terms addressed land rights, construction timelines, and revenue sharing.
We also provide dispute resolution services in PPP projects, through ADR and litigation arising from contractual breaches, delays, and regulatory issues. Our lawyers have represented contractors in claims for compensation due to government delays and defended agencies against excessive claims.

Our activist approach ensures that community interests are not overlooked in PPP projects. We advocate for stakeholder engagement, environmental sustainability, and accountability in project implementation.

At Sambo Muritala & Co, our projects and PPP practice provides clients with innovative legal solutions that drive development while safeguarding fairness and transparency.
