| dc.description.abstract | This study examined the governance structure, and evaluated the critical success factors of Public Private Partnership (PPP) projects in Lagos State, Nigeria. It also examined the challenges of the PPP projects governance and the effect of governance structure on the cost and time profiles of the PPP projects in the study area. These were with a view to enhancing projects delivery. The study made use of both primary and secondary sources of data. For the primary source of data, interviews were conducted with the key stakeholders/role players and questionnaire were administered on the professionals that were involved in the identified case studies. The secondary data were sourced from relevant departments of government, and from the concessionaires of the identified PPP Projects in the study area. Seven (7) completed PPP projects were used as case studies. A total of one hundred and twenty (120) professionals were sampled, which included sixteen (16) professionals from five (5) case study projects and twenty (20) professionals from two (2) case study projects. One hundred and twenty (120) questionnaire were purposively administered on the professionals, while 81 questionnaire were successfully retrieved, indicating a 68% effective return rate. The data obtained were analysed using Relative Importance Index (RII), Thematic Analysis, Importance Index IMPI), Severity Index (SI), and Cost and time Overrun Equations. The results showed that two forms of governance structures namely: departmental structures and new separate authority, were mostly adopted in the case study projects. However, lack of institutional frameworks for PPP during its early adoption in the study area resulted in the use of traditional procurement contracts in some case study projects, which lacked PPP contents. The result also showed that project accountability and responsibility (Mean Index = 0.82) was the most practiced project governance principle for PPP projects. Disclosure and Reporting (Mean Index = 0.70) was least practiced as it had the least mean index value. The major Critical Success Factors (CSFs) of PPP projects were, Knowing the project (IMPI% = 79.61); information and communication (IMPI% = 77.41); the support of principal officers (IMPI% = 76.91); capable project team (IMPI% = 72.33); value for money (IMPI% = 71.08); and strong dedication by public and private actors (IMPI% = 70.84). The Severity Index (SI) of the challenges of the PPP projects governance showed that the major governance challenges were Lack of capacity on the part of the concessionaire (SI% = 85.68); costly transactions (SI% = 85.18); high procurement costs (SI% = 84.45); fraud and bribery (SI% = 83.70); high project budgets and long execution periods (SI% = 83.45); and uncertainty of political environment (SI% = 83.21). The results showed that the adopted governance structures in most of the case studies caused delays on the projects. The study concluded that, the unavailability of institutional frameworks for PPP during the early adoption of PPP in the study area resulted in different forms of governance structures (Policies) for PPP projects and confirmed that the governance structures of most of the PPP projects caused delays, which significantly had adverse effects on PPP project deliverables. | |
