State of Infrastructure and Funding in Kogi State, Nigeria

This study aims to examine the level of success of infrastructure provision by the government of Kogi state; the 3 senatorial districts have been selected as case study. Large proportion of its budget has been allocated to infrastructural renewal, more than the development of new ones, with little attempt of cost recovery. This weakness in infrastructural provision have been found to be a reflection of lack of involvement of the private sector in infrastructure provision .The findings shows that 30% of the proposed infrastructure projects were not executed due to lack of fund, hence private-public partnership have been suggested to help compliment the efforts of the state government.
