Abstract

The need for the provision of infrastructure in any developing country cannot be overemphasized as it constitutes thebackbone of the country’s national economy. Considering the importance of infrastructure, government at all levels has oftenborne the full responsibility of providing infrastructure via dependence on loans and credits from financial institutions notrecognizing the fact that the investment requirement for the infrastructure deficit is such that cannot possibly be met by relying onthe public sector to boost public investment without increasing public borrowing. To this end, this research sought to appraise theinvolvement of the private sector in infrastructure development in Lagos State through the use of the public-private-partnership(PPP). Questions were asked to investigate the level of awareness about and the use of various models or variants of PPPs.105 questionnaires were administered on professional firms/agencies (construction consultants, contractors, financinginstitutions and concessionaires) that have been or are involved in PPP projects in Lagos state. 66 responses were obtained.The data was subjected to both descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. The results of the study indicate that the levels ofawareness of private sector involvement in infrastructure development using PPPs as well as the areas of involvement were notsignificant. It is recommended that government should put more efforts to improve the level of awareness on the involvement ofthe private sector participation in the provision of infrastructure through public enlightenment both locally and internationallystating the benefits that are obtainable both for citizens and investors.

Abstract

The construction industry and her projects are replete with potentials for learning at both the organisational andproject levels. Yet the industry often wastes this opportunity. This research was embarked upon to investigate the disposition ofconstruction industry participants to the use of organisational learning (OL) in the Nigerian construction industry. Data wascollected using a structured questionnaire administered purposively on sixty construction industry organisations operating inLagos, Nigeria. The collected data was subjected to both descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. The findings indicate thatmajority of respondents agreed that ‘Managers ask probing questions and invite input from others in discussions’ and also‘Managers listen attentively’. The study results further indicate that there is no significant difference in disposition toorganizational learning between contracting, consulting, and client organizations within the Nigerian Construction Industry. Thisstudy recommends that a more detailed investigation be made of those items of measure where respondents indicatedisagreements to understand better the underlying phenomena. Measures indicating strong indices of agreement can be furtherexplored for improvement.
