Background of the study
Public-private partnerships (PPPs) have emerged as a vital mechanism for driving industrial development by leveraging the strengths of both the public and private sectors. In Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, local businesses have increasingly engaged in PPPs to overcome infrastructural deficits, access capital, and enhance technological capabilities. These partnerships facilitate resource sharing, risk mitigation, and knowledge transfer, which are critical for industrial growth (Eme, 2023). However, challenges such as regulatory hurdles, differing objectives, and power imbalances can impede the effectiveness of PPPs (Okon, 2024). The dynamic interplay between public support and private innovation offers significant opportunities for sustainable industrial development. This study examines the role of PPPs in promoting industrial growth, assessing their impact on local businesses and identifying best practices for successful collaboration. By integrating recent theoretical frameworks and empirical findings, the research aims to provide actionable recommendations for optimizing PPP models that drive industrial advancement in Uyo (Udo, 2025).
Statement of the problem

Despite the potential benefits of public-private partnerships, regulatory complexities, and misaligned objectives often hinder their effectiveness. These issues result in suboptimal industrial growth and missed opportunities for economic advancement. The study seeks to examine the factors that limit the success of PPPs and to propose strategies to enhance collaboration between the public and private sectors. Addressing these challenges is essential for fostering sustainable industrial development in the region (Eze, 2024).
