The Founder of InfraSpotlight, Oluwabusola Fadipe, has announced that InfraMoni, the organization’s flagship infrastructure tracking report, is designed to strengthen transparency and accountability in Nigeria’s infrastructure financing. The report aims to expose gaps in public spending and monitor project execution across the country.
Speaking with The Guardian in Asaba, Delta State, on Monday, Fadipe stated that the initiative was developed to check questionable financial practices, poor project implementation, and other irregularities often associated with public infrastructure projects. He emphasized that citizens must be empowered with access to information on how infrastructure funds are allocated and utilized if government investments are to achieve their intended impact.
“If citizens cannot trace how infrastructure funds are spent, then even the most ambitious infrastructure budgets will fail to deliver meaningful outcomes. If the holes in the system remain open, we are pouring water into a basket,” Fadipe said.
Fadipe announced that InfraSpotlight will publish the second edition of InfraMoni, its annual diagnostic and tracking report, on June 26, 2026. The publication provides a comprehensive analysis of Nigeria’s infrastructure financing and investment landscape, with a focus on strengthening transparency, accountability, and governance.
He explained that the report tracks infrastructure project implementation against approved budgets, providing stakeholders with detailed insights into how public funds are allocated and expended. Designed for citizens, journalists, civil society organizations, development partners, and policymakers, the report seeks to promote evidence-based oversight of infrastructure spending and project delivery.
The forthcoming edition builds on the foundation established by the inaugural report and reinforces its role as a critical accountability tool within Nigeria’s public infrastructure sector. With the theme “Strengthening Transparency and Governance in Infrastructure Financing in Nigeria,” the 2026 report highlights the growing need to address persistent governance challenges that affect the planning, financing, execution, and monitoring of infrastructure projects nationwide.
Also speaking, Co-Founder of ConvoAfrica, Aniekan Joseph, described InfraMoni as one of the few credible initiatives aimed at making infrastructure financing and project implementation more transparent and understandable to the public. “InfraSpotlight’s InfraMoni publication is one of the few credible efforts to make that gap legible,” Joseph said.
He noted that the 2026 edition goes beyond merely documenting infrastructure deficits, stressing that it critically examines the governance systems responsible for project outcomes. “This edition does not simply catalogue deficits; it interrogates the governance architecture that produces them. By mapping financing flows and comparing them with on-ground execution, InfraMoni highlights discrepancies that often undermine infrastructure delivery,” he stated.
Joseph added that the report offers valuable insights into governance weaknesses that affect project performance and service delivery, thereby contributing to more informed public debate and policy formulation.
