Abstract
Infrastructure encompasses a wide range of inputs, industries and structural elements (including water,
roads, sanitation, energy, telecommunication, schools and health services) which facilitate the flow of goods
and services and as such, are an indispensable mainstay in many economies. Despite the undeniable
function of infrastructure, its development and investment in Africa has been stagnant for decades. The
reasons for this disquieting situation have been contemplated and solutions have been advocated or
proffered in many studies. However, the problem persists.
