What is CICN?

CICN (Construction and Infrastructure Chamber of Nigeria) is a non-profit organization incorporated on February 3rd 2012 to provide an appropriate network of all stakeholders in the Nigerian infrastructure and construction industry. First of its kind in the industry and modeled after a typical Chamber of Commerce, CICN will provide a forum within which stakeholders across Nigeria are able to reap greater benefit from the infrastructure industry than they are doing now. It will be a forum for exchange of ideas and information to enable industry players add value to the construction industry, gain insight into developments in international best practices on infrastructure development and construction practice and afford them the support they need to take advantage of the opportunities that those developments present. CICN will keep stakeholders abreast of current trends in the industry such as public private partnerships (PPPs) and project finance. It will also provide a forum for amicable resolution of construction and infrastructure disputes in various sectors.

What Inspired CICN?

The increasing efforts of government to provide adequate infrastructure for its people through various Public-Private Partnership (PPP) and project finance models as well as the incessant disputes between employers and contractors in construction projects at different levels led a group of concerned professionals to come together to form CICN. PUNUKA is one of the founding members of CICN. PUNUKA has an active construction and arbitration law practice which fits well into its oil and gas practice.
