Background of the Study

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) have become a critical strategy for addressing the housing deficit in Nigeria, especially in large-scale housing projects. These partnerships involve collaboration between government agencies and private developers to pool resources, share risks, and achieve mutually beneficial goals (Eze et al., 2023). In Nigeria, where the demand for affordable housing far outstrips supply, PPPs have been identified as a potential solution to bridge the financing gap and accelerate housing development (Bello & Adamu, 2024). Through PPPs, governments can leverage private sector expertise, efficiency, and investment to deliver large-scale housing projects that meet the needs of the growing population.

Kebbi State, located in the northwestern region of Nigeria, faces significant challenges in meeting its housing demands due to limited government resources and inadequate infrastructure (Yakubu et al., 2023). With an increasing population and urbanization, there is an urgent need for large-scale housing projects that can provide affordable and sustainable housing solutions. Public-private partnerships have been proposed as a potential solution to these challenges, allowing the government to work with private developers to construct large housing estates (Idris & Umar, 2023). However, the effectiveness of PPPs in delivering large-scale housing in Kebbi has not been extensively studied, making it crucial to assess how these partnerships are being implemented and their outcomes.

Despite the potential advantages of PPPs, there are several challenges that need to be addressed, including regulatory barriers, financing difficulties, and conflicts of interest between the public and private sectors (Olawale et al., 2024). Additionally, there is limited understanding of how such partnerships can be structured to ensure that they benefit both parties while meeting the needs of local communities. This study aims to evaluate the role of PPPs in large-scale housing projects in Kebbi State, examining their effectiveness, challenges, and potential for future growth.

Statement of the Problem

In Kebbi State, there is a significant gap between the demand for affordable housing and the availability of housing units, particularly in urban areas. Public-private partnerships have been identified as a solution to this problem, but the success of these initiatives has been inconsistent. The problem lies in understanding how PPPs can be effectively structured and managed to ensure that they deliver quality, affordable housing while meeting the needs of both government and private sector stakeholders. This study will investigate the role of PPPs in large-scale housing projects in Kebbi, focusing on the challenges, opportunities, and outcomes of such partnerships.

Without a clear understanding of the dynamics of PPPs in housing development, stakeholders may fail to create optimal partnerships that address the housing crisis in Kebbi State. This research will provide valuable insights into the implementation and evaluation of PPPs in large-scale housing projects, guiding future initiatives in the state.

Objectives of the Study

  1. To evaluate the effectiveness of public-private partnerships in large-scale housing projects in Kebbi State.
  2. To identify the challenges faced by both public and private sector stakeholders in implementing PPPs for housing development in Kebbi.
  3. To explore the potential benefits and outcomes of PPPs in large-scale housing projects in Kebbi State.

Research Questions

  1. How effective are public-private partnerships in delivering large-scale housing projects in Kebbi State?
  2. What challenges do public and private sector stakeholders face in implementing PPPs for housing development in Kebbi?
  3. What are the potential benefits and outcomes of PPPs in large-scale housing projects in Kebbi State?

Research Hypotheses

  1. Public-private partnerships significantly improve the delivery of large-scale housing projects in Kebbi State.
  2. Public and private sector stakeholders face significant challenges in implementing PPPs for housing development in Kebbi.
  3. Public-private partnerships in large-scale housing projects contribute to the improvement of housing availability in Kebbi State.

Scope and Limitations of the Study

This study will focus on large-scale housing projects in Kebbi State that have been developed through public-private partnerships. It will examine the roles of both the government and private developers in the implementation of these projects. Limitations may include challenges in accessing detailed project data and the limited number of PPP projects that have been completed in the state. Furthermore, the study may not capture all the diverse perspectives of stakeholders due to logistical constraints.
