Abstract
The poor performance of public utility services in Nigeria has been a subject of considerable discussion. Nigeria is faced with the challenge of sustenance and maintenance of inadequate engineering infrastructure due to years of under investment and poor maintenance culture. The paper gives an overview of status of nation’s engineering infrastructure, the causes of its deterioration and effects on the socioeconomic, industrial development, and private sector development. The need to recognize critical engineering infrastructure, interdependencies, and vulnerability to cascade failures is emphasized. The paper explores best practices in the developed and transition economies to guide in proffering pragmatic solution to the backwardness of the engineering infrastructure. The paper calls for paradigm shift from general lamentation which has become the lexicon of poor level engineering infrastructure service to action. Continue consolidation on public private partnership, declaration of state of emergency, fight against corruption, good governance, establishment of National Infrastructures Commission, best practices emulation and engineers’ involvement in politics are recommended as a way forward.
