Background of the Study
Public-private sector collaboration has become a crucial strategy for national development, particularly in areas such as infrastructure, healthcare, education, and economic development (Usman & Ibrahim, 2024). The private sector contributes capital, innovation, and expertise, while the government provides regulatory frameworks, incentives, and social safeguards (Olawale & Ahmed, 2023). Constitutional law plays a pivotal role in establishing the legal foundation for such collaborations, ensuring that partnerships are transparent, efficient, and beneficial to the public (Adebayo & Yakubu, 2023). The 1999 Constitution of Nigeria provides for economic policies that encourage public-private partnerships (PPPs) while protecting public interest and economic stability (Abdullahi & Musa, 2024).
In Minna Local Government Area, Niger State, public-private sector partnerships (PPPs) have been utilized in key sectors such as urban infrastructure development, health services, and water supply (Adamu & Bello, 2024). However, challenges such as bureaucratic inefficiencies, corruption, and weak legal enforcement have hampered the effectiveness of these collaborations, leading to inefficient service delivery and economic losses (Bello & Yusuf, 2024). This study critically appraises the role of constitutional law in fostering public-private partnerships (PPPs), examining the legal barriers, implementation challenges, and policy gaps affecting effective collaboration in Minna LGA.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite the constitutional provisions that encourage public-private collaboration, several challenges hinder effective implementation in Minna LGA (Adamu & Bello, 2024). Bureaucratic inefficiencies, legal ambiguities, and weak regulatory frameworks have led to delays, mismanagement, and lack of transparency in public-private partnerships (Olawale & Ahmed, 2023). The absence of a clear legal mechanism for dispute resolution and uncertainty in policy implementation further exacerbate the problem (Bello & Yusuf, 2024). This study investigates the extent to which constitutional law fosters public-private sector collaboration and identifies barriers that limit its effectiveness in Minna LGA.
