Abstract: Abstract A lot of professional knowledge has been accumulated about the management of very large (government) projects. Very large projects are complex beasts, and one can get them wrong in a hundred different ways. So existing frameworks contain many success variables. This study is based on this knowledge—it is unlikely that in the Nigerian context, forces are at work which have never been observed anywhere else before. But not all the influence factors are equally important, and we do not know which ones are the most critical in the Nigerian context. This chapter develops a framework of success drivers reflecting previous work, which will then be empirically examined for the key factors among them that are causing failure in the Nigerian context.
