Chapter 3 in How Megaprojects Are Damaging Nigeria and How to Fix It, 2022, pp 27-48 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Since no systematic data is available in Nigeria (only anecdotes), an original data set was collected of 114 detailed questionnaires from 3 different people involved in each of 38 projects (19 abandoned, and 19 completed). The projects are matched by sector and size to allow comparisons, and three respondents per project reduce biases. While quantitative data allows “objective” statistical analysis, 11 of the projects were in addition described in detail in case study narratives, bringing the events to life and verifying the causality of interpretations. The case study analysis complements and enriches the statistical data analysis. This chapter explains the process of the investigation and why and what method design choices were made.
