Abstract:
The study examined public policies as a driving force of Public Private Partnership (PPP) in Nigeria. It utilized the secondary method of data collection. The study found that lack of government continuity in policy and multiple legislations are some of the challenges bedeviling the PPP policies in Nigeria which has also negatively affected its drive of PPPs in the country. Thus, it recommends that there should be more public awareness, orientation and sensitization on the available PPP policies to properly guide individuals and government agencies in the country. The study also recommended that the various pieces of legislation should properly be synchronised with one another and with the wider legislations, to impact positively on PPP transactions in the country. The study concluded that the enactment of PPP policies in the country has encouraged private sector support of government through partnerships and has enhanced the operations of PPP, thus, making Public Policy on PPP a major driving force of PPPs in Nigeria.
