Topic: Infrastructure



  
 Infrastructure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Infrastructure may also refer to necessary municipal or public services, whether provided by the government or by private companies.
In national security, the term "critical infrastructure" is also extremely broad (although it should be less inclusive as not all infrastructure should be considered critical) and includes support, e.g.

 Restoring Urban Infrastructure and Services in Nigeria
Infrastructure financing would be helped enormously if the flow of federal statutory allocations to states was more predictable.
Much can be done, also, to realize the untapped revenue potential of income and value-added taxes of Nigeria's 31 states and the property taxes of local governments.

In addition, the federal share of wastewater infrastructure investment is decreasing, while the local share must increase to meet regulatory requirements and infrastructure demands.

Specifically, the act directs the Governor, beginning in the 2002-03 budget year, to annually submit a five-year infrastructure plan for state agencies, K-12 schools, and higher education institutions, and a proposal for its funding.

For all of the infrastructure identified, the plan is required to provide an estimate of its cost and a proposal for funding, subject to the following:
