Evaluating the Management of Public Private Partnerships for the Provision of Affordable Housing in Nigeria

Abstract

The Impact of Public Private Partnership is beginning to be more pronounced in emerging markets like Kenya and Nigeria as a preferred means for the delivery of Infrastructure and Housing. In terms of its popularity, the adoption and growth of Public private partnerships has been traced to under performance of Government Budgeting and lack of sufficient funding available to government for financing the different strategically important and development focused projects (including Social Housing), this is also in addition to governments poor risk management capabilities. The challenges facing public funding and its impact on the country's development have increased the potential for public-private partnerships as an alternative to infrastructure and housing. The study examined the impact of public-private partnerships on affordable housing in Nigeria. It also includes other purposes; examining the impact of management contracts on the provision of affordable housing in Nigeria to identify the impact of the joint venture on the provision of affordable housing in Nigeria. The research adopted the survey research plan and used a structured questionnaire as a tool for data collection. Data analysis was performed in addition to mean and percentage descriptive statistics, as well as correlation and regression analysis. The results showed that Build Own Operate & Transfer Policy has a significant impact on the provision of affordable housing in Nigeria and Lease Contracts has a positive impact on the provision of affordable housing in Nigeria. The study concludes that for public-private partnerships to flourish and achieve affordable housing, each partnership must identify measures of success, be able to quantify and monitor their performance, and identify and address emerging issues. It was suggested that the government take responsibility for ensuring that an enabling institutional environment and infrastructure is provided to support PPP execution. It was also proposed that the government adopt and establish a Viability Gap fund-

Evaluation of Risks Involved in Housing Projects Procured by Public Private Partnership in Kebbi State, Nigeria

“…In line with this, it was reported by Alrashidi (2021) that the private sector's competitive pressures ensure quality delivery of public services as they might be better able to manage risk associated with projects than the public sector. Others also revealed that PPP arrangement allows public institutions to benefit from the special technical expertise of the private sector, manage issues, and realize cost savings (Owolabi et al, 2019;Ibrahim, 2022;Owotemu et al, 2022). It is therefore important for the government to factor in occupiers' satisfaction into the project's goals of PPP in order to justify these reasons for the adoption of PPP procured housing projects in Kebbi State.…”

“…Therefore, Ibrahim (2022) emphasized that the implementation of risk management in PPP housing projects in Nigeria is very important to the survival of the building industry and there is need for measures in order to improve the practice towards effective housing provision. In the contribution of Owotemu et al (2022), it was established that PPP arrangement allows public institutions to benefit from the special technical expertise of the private sector, manage issues, and realize cost savings. Under PPP, private contractors usually have no relationship with the end user, and all financial interactions are conducted with the public sector partner.…”

“…In addition, Owotemu et al (2022) reported that the impact of PPP is beginning to be more pronounced in emerging markets like Kenya and Nigeria as a preferred means for the delivery of infrastructure and housing. In terms of its popularity, the adoption and growth of PPP has been traced to under performance of Government budgeting and lack of sufficient funding available to government for financing the different strategically important and development focused projects (including Social Housing), this is also in addition to governments poor risk management capabilities.…”

Public –Private Partnership (PPP) and Management of Public Infrastructure in Enugu State

“…Public-Private Partnership (PPP) is a collaborative model for public infrastructure management that involves a strategic alliance between government entities and private sector organizations. In the PPP framework, the government and private entities enter into contractual agreements to jointly design, finance, implement, and operate public infrastructure projects (Owotemu, Daniel, & Abubakar, 2022). This approach leverages the strengths of both sectors: the public sector's role in policy-making, regulation, and service provision, and the private sector's efficiency, innovation, and access to capital.…”

Systematic Review of Architectural Innovations in Nigerian Social Housing Towards Advancing SDG-11

“…These approaches enhance housing outcomes by involving stakeholders but require more time and resources. Recommendations include feasibility studies, capacity building, policy development, and trust-building mechanisms(Owotemu et al, 2022;Kavishe & Chileshe, 2019;Ogunbayo et al, 2021;Eseoghenea et al, 2022).…”
