Item 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, OpeyemiPublic-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.Item 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 OlubunmiThe 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.
