I can remember during COVID, china was able to erect a big facility within just a week
Why do smaller projects take such long periods before completion in Nigeria
Comparing china to Nigeria is more like comparing a child to an adult. China has all the needed technology, and experts to carry out the job as fast as possible, Nigeria on the other hand lack these resources. Then there is also the issue of those in charge of the project cutting the money short jusRead more
Comparing china to Nigeria is more like comparing a child to an adult. China has all the needed technology, and experts to carry out the job as fast as possible, Nigeria on the other hand lack these resources. Then there is also the issue of those in charge of the project cutting the money short just so they can benefit. This often have an effect on the project.
See lessProjects are always slow in Nigeria because of the corrupt minds that are given the jobs. A lot of them bids for these jobs so that they can embezzle the money not because they wants to get the job done. So when the money is embezzle there's no money to continue with the project.

So when the money is embezzle there’s no money to continue with the project. So the work is slowed down and before you know it the project is completely stopped half way and that’s why we have white elephant projects scattered everywhere in the country. Those that were given the contracts have absconded with the money and enjoying the loot abroad and leaving our country in the mess that we have now which is just too bad.

When you are talking about China you talk about intentional and patriotic politicians who have their citizens and also their country at heart.
The politicians in Nigeria are the opposite of that because they don’t even care of Nigeria not to talk more the citizens in it.
The reason why it is very slow is that the government don’t give good contractors this project because they want it to be done cheaply and the contractors also bandon the project halfway and run with the money.

Corruption and mismanagement, as seen in Nigeria’s leadership issues, divert project funds, stalling progress. Inadequate infrastructure, like unreliable power or poor roads, slows construction and logistics. Bureaucratic red tape and inconsistent policies create delays in approvals and funding. Political interference, tied to the politics, prioritizes vested interests over timelines. Insufficient skilled labor and reliance on outdated technology hamper efficiency, unlike streamlined businesses like perfumery.
Insecurity, such as insurgency or vandalism, disrupts project sites, especially in northern regions. Poor planning and lack of accountability fail to address risks, reflecting weak communication in governance. Public apathy or distrust, as discussed, limits community push for timely completion.
