Deploying Public Private Partnership (PPP) in Understanding the Missing Link and Requisite Legal Regime to Resolve the Almajiri System Challenge

International Journal of Research and Innovation in Social Science

The various efforts of the Federal Government and its agencies together with international instit... more The various efforts of the Federal Government and its agencies together with international institutions at integrating the Almajiri education into contemporary education in Nigeria or mainstreaming the Almajiri system into the nation’s educational system have not achieved the desired objectives. The failure of relevant policy makers could be traced to their solution-strategies, which did not give adequate considerations to the historical realities of the Almajiri system; to the constitutional obligation of government to provide free and compulsory basic education to its school age citizens; and to a genuine stakeholder buy-in of Almajiri school operators. Using a doctrinal research methodology that leaned more on official narrative, institutional publications as well as Internet resources and online blogs, the paper looked at Almajiri concept, reviewed the legal framework underpinning basic education rights in Nigeria, and explored the various attempts at mainstreaming the Almajiri ...

The Legal Concept of Public Private Partnership (PPP) and its Limited Scope in Nigeria

As a result of paucity of public funds, Nigeria introduced the concept of PPP in its public procurement strategy so as to tackle its glaring infrastructure deficit, which presently, is put at 70%-75% of GDP. Despite the enthusiasm of stakeholders in this respect, the fundamental challenge is the capacity, within the extant legal framework that used the term 'concession', to identify the scope, parameters and limitations of the concept in exploring available options for successful delivery of PPP projects in Nigeria. The significance of correct identification of PPP parameters for the participation of the private sector in the delivery of public infrastructure and services cannot therefore be underestimated considering Nigeria's aspiration and the role of infrastructure to economic growth and national prosperity. Using a doctrinal research methodology and a purposive sampling technique, the paper reviewed extant definitions of the concept in many PPP national jurisdictions, international organizations and relevant academic writers to conclude that the definition of PPP under section 36 of the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC) Act is inadequate. Such a definition is incapable of capacitating public authorities to explore all available PPP options in their effort to achieve Nigeria's desire for private financing of public infrastructure and services. Out of the five legal parameters identified by this paper for any standard definition of PPP, the definition under section 36 of the ICRC Act met only two parameters. It therefore recommended that the ICRC Act should be amended to be more expansive as to accommodate the different types, classifications and parameters of the PPP definitions propounded in the guidelines of many Multilateral and Development Banks (MDBs).

The Impact of Private Sector Participation in the Operations of Nigerian Ports Authority within the Context of Nigeria’s PPP Legal Framework

Conscious of its role to the national economy, it has over the years embarked on system reforms that progressively saw to private sector investments in its terminals, equipment and services. It utilized management contracts, joint venture partnerships, concession arrangements and amortization programmes, among diverse private sector participation models, for a more effective and efficient port operations. The glaring hypothesis is that in spite of these efforts, cargo handling has remained outrageously expensive with its corresponding spiral effect on the cost of goods to ultimate consumers. The fundamental issue, which this paper seeks to identify, is the impact or otherwise of the port reforms to the immediate and remote port’s stakeholders. Using the doctrinal method of research, the paper utilized primary and secondary sources that includes information from journals, conference paper...
