Loch, Kishore SenguptaCham Springer International Publishing AG20221 online resource (253 p.)Description based upon print version of record.3-030-96473-6 3-030-96474-4 Since 1960, two-thirds of very large governmental projects in Nigeria have not only failed, but been abandoned mid-course. This presents a bigger failure rate than mega projects elsewhere, and yet there is no available data or analysis to help us understand the reasons behind such failures. This book provides an authoritative examination into why very large projects in Nigeria have failed so badly, and provides practical recommendations on how the Nigerian government can improve its project performance. Drawing on data from 38 very large projects (19 completed and 19 abandoned) with a total budget of over $25B, this book presents detailed analysis of these projects and in-depth case studies 11 of the projects, and presents lessons for improvement. Through this, the authors have identified a small number of key success drivers, and argue that making moderate improvements on any of them would, on average, save hundreds of millions of dollars on one large project alone. This open access book is a game-changer in the management of government mega projects in Nigeria. With clear implications for other developing economies, this is a vital resource for project management practitioners, executives and civil servants.How Megaprojects Are Damaging Nigeria and How to Fix ItProject managementNigeriaHistoryPublic administrationNigeriaDeveloping countriesemerging economiesproject governancecorruptionlarge programmesProject managementHistory.Public administration658.40409669658.40409669Ibrahim Jimoh1236071Loch Christoph1236072Sengupta Kishore1236073AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910567788203321How Megaprojects Are Damaging Nigeria and How to Fix It2870455UNINA
