Consequences and Evaluation of the Involvement of Foreign Companies in Road Constriction in Kwara State.

ABSTRACT

This project involves the “consequences evaluation of foreign on road construction in Nigeria”.

The methods used in achieving the aims of these projects are:

The visitation and interview of selected government prostates in charge of granting of major road construction contract to know why they prefer patronizing the foreign contractors to the local ones. The interview of selected foreign companies through the printing and distribution of questionnaires to know the ways in which they run their business and factors that affect their business. A visit to our own local (indigenous company) and consultancy firm to get to know the ways in which they execute their operation and compare it with their foreign counterparts with the view of knowing their differences and shortcomings. The response of these interviews and other experts were used to establish and examine the “consequences evaluation of foreign companies on road construction industries in Nigeria.”
