(MENAFNEditorial)
Despite the peaceful passing of the Nigerian election we remain cautious in our forecasts for real growth in the Nigerian construction sector over 2015 and 2016. Our forecast s stand at 11% and 9.8 0 % for 2015 and 2016 respectively with growth averaging 10.6% over our 10-year forecast period to 2024 . President-elect Buhari faces severe macroeconomic headwinds which will weigh on growth but his rhetoric on reform to PPPs and tackling corruption bodes well for the long-term attractiveness of the infrastructure sector to investors.

The best case election scenario has played out in that there looks set to be a peaceful transition of power from incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan and the victor in March's election president-elect Muhammadu Buharo. While this may give a slight boost to the economy given previous downside risk not materialising we remain downbeat on 2015 and 2016 in terms of growth in the construction sector.
A fall in oil prices will be the major drag on growth. The naira has depreciated interest rates have been hiked and importantly government revenues will be lower than expected. Combined public and private investment in the sector will be lower over 2015 and 2016.
Over the long-term however we expect Buhari to attempt to deal with the corruption which plague's Nigeria's infrastructure power and oil and gas sectors as well as continue the reforms and development plans implemented under President Goodluck Jonathan. Furthermore we expect the major projects will continue to be supported by Chinese financiers and companies.
The potential of Nigeria's infrastructure market has long been known however a chronic lack of investment and the laborious business environment has limited its growth prospects. We highlight persistent risks hampering the implementation of major projects ranging from deep-rooted corruption and violence perpetrated by militants to inefficient bureaucracy.
