Abstract

This paper analyzes the current state of public services provision in Nigeria, as well as the perceived ability for such services to be delivered, managed, and maintained by the private and public sectors. The results of an extensive survey conducted in three cities suggest that to a great extent the state has abdicated its responsibility to provide public services, while at the same time the market system has failed to fill the gap. A re†allocation of functions between private and state organizations, as well as considerably less government interference are necessary to realize more efficient and effective delivery of essential services to the Nigerian public.
