Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) are collaborative arrangements between public and private sector entities aimed at delivering public services or infrastructure. The effectiveness of PPPs largely depends on clear, transparent, and consistent corporate communication that fosters trust, aligns objectives, and ensures stakeholder engagement (Adewale & Yusuf, 2023). In Sabon Gari Local Government Area, Kano State, PPPs play a crucial role in addressing infrastructural and service delivery challenges. However, the success of these partnerships often hinges on the quality of communication between stakeholders, including government agencies, private entities, and the local community. This study assesses the role of corporate communication in enhancing the effectiveness of PPPs in Sabon Gari Local Government Area, focusing on the strategies used to build trust, align goals, and ensure transparency.

These challenges undermine the effectiveness of PPPs, leading to delays, cost overruns, and public dissatisfaction. This study seeks to address these issues by examining how corporate communication can enhance the effectiveness of PPPs in Sabon Gari Local Government Area, providing insights into strategies for improving communication and collaboration.
