Abstract
This study examined the role of Public–Private Partnerships (PPPs) in providing affordable housing in Lagos State, Nigeria. The analysis was restricted to the first objective of a broader survey of PPP housing delivery. A quantitative survey was conducted among housing-development professionals and stakeholders across Ikorodu, Kosofe, Lagos Island, Eti-Osa and Ibeju-Lekki. Of 600 questionnaires distributed, 500 valid responses were obtained, representing an 83.3% response rate. Twelve indicators of the perceived role of PPPs were analysed using mean scores, relative importance indices and rankings. Respondents rated the contribution of PPPs to housing-sector growth highest (mean = 4.38), followed by improved project financing and faster housing delivery (4.36 each), and sustainable urban housing development (4.35). Conversely, the direct increase in housing delivery (1.37), encouragement of private investment (1.73) and improved access to land (2.36) received comparatively low scores. The results suggest a gap between the perceived enabling contributions of PPPs and their direct housing-supply outcomes. The study concluded that PPPs provide valuable financing, coordination and development mechanisms but require stronger land-access arrangements, private-sector participation and performance monitoring to translate these benefits into affordable housing units.
