- Abstract:
The objective of this study is to explore the success factors of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in infrastructure projects in Nigeria. Following the identification of success factors of PPP applications in other countries from literature, a questionnaire survey approach was used to investigate the perception of Nigerian construction professionals (having some PPP experience) on their relative importance based on a six-point Likert rating scale ranging from 0 “no importance” to 5 “very important”. Mean score values of response data from the 36 survey respondents was used to rank the relative importance and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests were carried to investigate the level of agreement between the various sub-groups amongst the respondents. The results show that the three most important success factors of PPP projects in Nigeria are ‘favourable legal framework’, ‘well-organised public agency to negotiate on behalf of government’ and ‘strong private consortium’. While the ANOVA tests indicated agreement between the perceptions of public and private sector respondents, the results suggest isomorphism of PPP success factors, at least between Nigeria and in the UK. The sample size obtained for this research is relatively small, perhaps because the development of PPP procurement system is still in its formative stages in Nigeria. Although there is a need for further research to affirm the isomorphism of PPP success factors, the findings suggest the potential for cross-country learning. The findings should serve as a good baseline for policy development on PPPs in Nigeria. For example, the findings highlighted the necessity for the Nigerian government to create an enabling and secure investment environment for both local and foreign investors and to establish mechanisms for selecting the private sector partner with the necessary skills, experience and resources to deliver cost-effective facilities and services of high quality.
