Chapter one
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
Abandoned projects and construction failures, including buildings and other civil engineering infrastructure development projects such as houses, churches, schools, roads, bridges, dams, tunnels, airports, and seaports, litter Nigeria.
According to Osemenan (1987), Nigeria has become the “world’s junk-yard of abandoned and failed projects worth billions of naira,” and it is unthinkable that a country with such great potential in the building and construction industry can experience such magnitudes of project failure and abandonment. According to another report from
According to Kotangora (1993), there are approximately 4000 uncompleted or abandoned projects belonging to the Federal Government of Nigeria with an estimated cost of more than N 300 billion, which will take 30 years to complete at the current execution capacity of the government.
He also claims that the issue of abandonment and construction project failure has been left unaddressed for far too long, which is now having a multiplier effect on the construction industry in particular and The construction business is extremely important to any country’s economy.
In a strong economy, building and construction activity often grow, however in a depressed economy, project abandonment and construction failures are more common.
According to Akindoyeni (1989), some of the causes of project abandonment and construction failure in Nigeria include customer deaths, inability to acquire funding, and a lack of proper planning. Abandoned buildings
Abandonment of development projects is the act of ceasing any operations or maintenance work on such development project within the time frame specified in the contract agreement and with no intention of returning to the development (Spelman, 1993).
Similarly, O’Flaherty (1993), in reflecting on property development projects, suggests that it occurs when an owner or developer ceases to offer the necessary maintenance management to a completed property. Inadequate planning may also lead to construction failure.
