Assessment of knowledge management barriers and improvement strategies on public-private partnership projects in Nigeria
(Taylor & Francis, 2024) Amusan, L. M.; Akinbo, T. F.; Fagbenle, O. I.
Several studies have alluded that many PPP stakeholders lack the required PPP competencies. The incompetence, most times, has failed in many PPP projects in developed and developing countries. One of the main pointers is the lack of knowledge transfer on many PPP projects, which could have benefitted the PPP procurement system. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the knowledge management barriers and improvement strategies for public-private partnership projects in Nigeria. The study used a quota-purposive sampling technique to select 100 construction professionals actively participating in different PPP projects in the study location. The result revealed that the leading knowledge management barriers include recording and tracking information on the PPP project, lack of management support towards knowledge management on the PPP project, and lack of expertise and skill to implement knowledge management tools. The dimensions of these knowledge management barriers are based on the features of PPP and the lack of KM competencies. To overcome these knowledge management barriers, the study showed that improvement strategies such as training and development of PPP stakeholders on knowledge management tools, legislative backing on using knowledge tools for storing PPP projects, and par ticipation/commitment from relevant parties in information sharing need to be implemented. Inferential analysis of the improvement strategies showed that most of the improvement strategies were statistically significant. The study recommended developing PPP and KM competencies through short and long-term training and commitment from PPP stakeholders.
Diagnosing Government Responsibilities in the Implementation of Public-Private Partnership System for Infrastructure Procurement
(International Journal of Sustainable Development and Planning Vol. 20, No. 6, 2025-06) Ojelabi, Rapheal A.; Oyenubi, Adebayo; Oyeyipo, Opeyemi
Public-Private Procurement is a system that allows for collaboration between the government and private partners in infrastructure provision. However, researchers argued that the successful implementation of the procurement option rested more on the government's shoulders. Hence, the study aims to identify critical government roles and investigate their importance and performance in PPP projects in Nigeria using a survey approach. The targeted respondents are PPP stakeholders operating in Lagos and Abuja. However, due to the absence of comprehensive lists of the PPP stakeholders involved in PPP projects in Nigeria, a project based approach was used in attaining the representative samples for the study, including contractors, consultants, concessionaires, government agencies, and financiers. About 384 copies of questionnaires were randomly distributed to the sample representatives, and 274 copies were retrieved. The data generated were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical tools. Findings showed that all the roles identified are critical and showed significant interrelationships with each other. However, the government's performance in the highlighted roles is unsatisfactory, and recommendations were made on its shortfall.
Government’s motives and investor’s commitment in public-private partnership procurement system adoption
(Sciendo, 2025) Amusan, Lekan; Ojelabi, Rapheal Abiodun; Adewolu, Adeoye Olugbenga; Olanipekun, Oladeji Olubunmi
The study examined the government’s motives - ment to infrastructure delivery. The study adopted a quan titative research method with a survey conducted using a structured questionnaire targeted at 384 respondents selected through random sampling. The data were ana lysed using mean, percentile and Pearson correlation sta tistical tools. The study identified 17 key motives respon sible for the government adopting PPP in socio-economic infrastructure delivery. These motives were factored into three main groups: public infrastructure maintenance, financial and economic benefits; improved discipline in the contractual relationship and predictable path in infra structure delivery and integration of innovative approach in enhancing infrastructure delivery. Therefore, the relationships between the three factored government’s motives and investor’s commitments, including finance, management, technical and operational services in PPP, were tested using the Pearson correlation statistical tool. The results showed that the motive for public infrastructure maintenance, financial and economic benefits of the government in PPP showed a significant relationship with the four services commitment of private partners. Also, the government’s motive for improved discipline in the contractual relationship and predictable path in infrastructure delivery showed significant relationships with technical, finance and management commit ments of investors. Lastly, the government’s motive for the integration of innovative approaches in enhancing infrastructure delivery showed a significant relationship with only technical commitment. The outcome indicates that factors measuring government motive and investor's services commitment are mutually dependent and critical in ensuring a sustained relationship among stakeholders in a PPP arrangement for infrastructure procurement.
