OVERVIEW OF CONSTRUCTION
ACTIVITIES IN NIGERIA
• Civil engineering projects, real estates and their maintenance.
• Organised construction began in the early 1940’s.
• Construction Industries:
is a multi-billion dollars business.
contributes about 3.2% of the Nation’s GDP
Grows rapidly: Growth rate of 18.08%. May meet up with China by 2020
• It is dominated by foreigners
• More than 40% of Nation’s budget.

REASONS FOR RAPID GROWTH OF CONSTRUCTION IN NIGERIA
• Discovery of oil about 10 years after Independence
• Migration and urbanization
• Rise in middle class
• Societal needs for social infrastructure
• Need to foster inter-state and inter-regional trade and movement.
• Emergency of democracy

CONCRETE AS A MAJOR MATERIAL
CONSUMED
Concrete = Water + Cement +
Aggregate (Fine and Coarse) +
Admixtures
•The most widely consumed material
•Steel: Concrete = 1:4
•World consumption:11 billion tonnes/year
•1 tonne for every human being on earth
•Cement is essential to concrete production

CEMENT PRODUCTION & CONSUMPTION:
WHERE LIES NIGERIA?
•Global cement demand in 2013: 3.9bmt (6.6% growth rate).
•Africa represented only 5% of world cement consumption
•Nigeria ranked amongst the world’s top 10 importers of cement in 2011
•Now, Nigeria’s production capacity was 29.2mmtpa in 2013 and was expected 38.2mmtpa in 2014
•It is now top 19 largest cement producing countries in the world) (Table 2)
•Demand > Supply Presented at a Public Symposium on “Cement and Concrete-related Issues for the African Market” 26th February, 2015, at White Sands Hotel, Dar-es Salaam, Tanzania

CHALLENGES AND PANACEA
Challenges:
• Lackadaisical attitude to R & D
• Lack of policy
• Low participation of private sector
• Lack of adequate and modern testing material
equipment
• Dormancy nature of most research institutes
Presented at a Public Symposium on “Cement and Concrete-related Issues for the African Market” 26th February, 2015, at White Sands Hotel, Dar-es Salaam, Tanzania
CHALLENGES AND PANACEA
Panacea
• Government should create an appropriate means for delineation and implementation of research results.
• A realistic National Policy for Scientific Research
• Promote science-based industries for commercial exploitation of inventions.
• Offshore Collaboration
• Government should evolve policy that will mandate private sector participation
Presented at a Public Symposium on “Cement and Concrete-related Issues for the African Market” 26th February, 2015, at White Sands Hotel, Dar-es Salaam, Tanzania
CONCLUSION
• Nigeria offers the largest construction opportunities in Africa
• Conventional construction materials are available in adequate quantity but the use is not sustainable
• Large quantity of various by-products are available to utilize in Construction in Nigeria
• There is need to evolve policy to develop these by-products for use in life projects.
