Abstract
Highway infrastructure is the lifeline of any nation. It is important that it is healthy, safe and efficient. Due to dwindling revenues and increasing expenditures of government, private sector participation was being sought by government to reduce the burden of infrastructure provision on government. This paper assesses factors impeding sustainability of BOT highway project in Nigeria. To achieve the main objective of this paper, one hundred and ten (110) were administered on major stakeholders in the highway sector, comprising government agencies, highway engineers, quantity surveyors and private sector participants using stratified random sampling technique. Seventy-six (76) questionnaires were retrieved and used for the analysis. The study employed des criptive and inferential statistics. The results indicated that the most important factor impeding the sustainability of BOT highway projects is high cost of finance. Other factors as rated by respondents have high mean scores which account for lack of visible success in the sustainability of BOT highway projects in Nigeria. A Mann-Whitney U test at 95% confidence level was carried out on the data obtained for the study to evaluate if there was difference in the ranking of the factors by the respondents. It was found that there is no significant difference in the ranking of factors between the public and private parties. The paper concluded that these impeding factors have affected the sustainability of BOT highway projects in Nigeria
