A study by the World Bank found that in Nigeria, 26% of public sector reforms were cancelled, 29% of reforms were never completed, and 45% of ongoing reform projects were rated unsatisfactory. Given these facts, it is no surprise that many of the country’s public sector reform efforts have yet to yield positive results.

We commissioned a group of experienced researchers spread across the geopolitical zones of the country to conduct primary and secondary research on the enablers or inhibitors of the success of past reform initiatives in Nigeria with the following objectives:

→ To gather and share knowledge of the right methodology in undertaking successful reform initiatives as well as the pitfalls to avoid.

→ To inform and equip the public on how best they can support the public sector in achieving successful reforms.

→ To mobilise collective accountability, responsibility, and ownership for the success of current and future reform initiatives.
