The challenges of infrastructure provision and delivery have been a major point of discourse across the global planning space. African cities have also grappled with these infrastructure challenges which ranges from transport infrastructure, healthcare and housing infrastructure among others. Country like Nigeria in West Africa currently has a housing deficit of about 28 million housing units with respect to the over 200 million population. This housing infrastructure challenge is however more system in terms of the causative issues than physical. Most of the statutory agencies of government that are saddled with the responsibility of providing housing and housing infrastructure have oftentimes proposed mass housing programmes which are public private sector driven but which eventually fail as a result of failures on either the part of government to meet its own obligations or sharp practices on the part of the private sector to maximize profit. This research therefore employed a qualitative technique to appraise the overarching challenges of implementing housing and other planning implementation challenges in North-Central Nigeria. The chapter reviewed stakeholders’ concerns in terms of the current challenges militating against public–private partnership in providing and ensuring planning implementation in the area, through a direct interview with some of the key stakeholders saddled with the responsibilities of ensuring implementation of planning programmes in the region. The chapter identified poor coordination, absence of plans and poor political will on the part of government as the major factors limiting infrastructure provision, while, unearthing the challenge of sharp practices, poor monitoring and implementation and resistance to agreed memorandums of understanding (MoU) as the related issues and concerns for the private sector operators in meeting their obligations of planning infrastructure provision and especially housing. In view of the successes of public-–private partnership (PPP) in housing provision and the innovations which keeps emanating from these sectors in the developed world, it is therefore imperative to conclude that PPP activities in Nigeria especially the North-Central zone of the country requires a complete overhaul to reflect the challenges of housing deficit and planning opportunities in these zone of the country and promoting the values of adherence of to the integrity of the evolved undertakings for the proposed programme either in housing or other infrastructure provision.
