Nigeria commercial law firm, KENNA, is set to contribute to bridging the financing gaps in national infrastructure development at a colloquium scheduled for Thursday, June 5, 2025, in Enugu.

The theme of the colloquium is “Support Mechanisms for Infrastructure Development and Financing.” The event will convene business leaders and key stakeholders in the public and private sectors to explore practical approaches to unlocking capital, managing project risks, and leveraging innovative support mechanisms to accelerate infrastructure development in Nigeria and across the region.

The session will feature a presentation by the Senior Partner of KENNA, Prof. Fabian Ajogwu, on financing opportunities for infrastructure development.

A panel comprising experts, including the Director, Office of the Attorney General, Mrs Uzoamaka Okeji; Chairman, Enugu North Council, and legal practitioner, Dr Ibenaku Onoh; Regional Manager of UBA Enugu, Chiaka Mbagwu. and Partners at KENNA, Okechukwu Ekweanya and Nimma Jo-Madugu, will also deliberate on strategies to strengthen infrastructure financing and enable rapid economic growth for both the region and the nation.

Commenting on the significance of the colloquium, the Managing Partner of KENNA, ItuahImhanze, stated: “This colloquium comes at a critical time when infrastructure gaps continue to widen across the country. We believe that with the right support mechanisms and financing models, Nigeria can unlock the full potential of its infrastructure sector. Infrastructure development goes beyond just roads and bridges; it is about creating jobs, opening up communities, and building real, lasting impact. That is the calibre of conversation to expect at the colloquium.
