ABSTRACT

Over the last decades the public-private partnership (PPP) has expanded in both a number and value of projects within the country. Considering the financial features of PPPs it is possible to make an assumption that a requirement to initiate PPPs especially arises when public sector funds are lacking to implement projects in desirable quality and scale. While economic growth was proixed with RGDP, PPP was used to proxy public private partnership. However, this study was undertaken the investigate the effect of public-private partnership on Nigerian economic growth for the period 2000–2018. Therefore, the researches of factors which influence the development of PPP market are very relevant. Using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression analysis, the study found that there is positive and significant effect of public private partnership on the economic growth in Nigeria within the study period. Based on the finding, study recommends that the federal government should make policies that will encourage public private partnership programmes as a yardstick for increasing economic growth. This is against the backdrop that a continuous decrease in public private partnership will lead to decreases in the Nigerian economy.
