PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP (PPP) AND ECOLOGICAL PROBLEMS IN NIGERIA
Abstract
This study examined the efficiency of Nigerian public-private partnerships in tackling environmental concerns. A descriptive survey method of correlation type was adopted with a sample size of 100 respondents comprising government agencies and private sector entities. Data were collected via questionnaire and the instrument's reliability was confirmed using the Cronbach half method. Findings revealed mixed perceptions regarding the effectiveness of PPP projects, with concerns about disruption to local ecosystems and complexities in implementation. Local community involvement, regulations adherence, sustainable practices, and monitoring were identified as basic factors influencing environmental outcomes. There is widespread skepticism about the effectiveness of current regulatory frameworks. It was recommended that stakeholders enhance awareness programmes, prioritize sustainable practices, implement robust monitoring systems, involve local communities in planning, strengthen regulatory compliance, and promote sustainable innovations.
