Abstract
This research work is on the widely accepted strategy, that is, the participatory framework
to planning and development. The approach is not new in the world. However,
community participation has only been either at the concept level or on a micro-scale and
formalised. But the new approach is on macro level and has been made formal and
involves local participants ,national and international involvement that are involved in a
structured manner in relation to their resources and based on their priorities as stake
holders. The approach has proved effective and yielded positive results in terms of
maximization of resources, coordination of activities, spread of equal responsibilities and
opportunities and seeing the value of their creativeness.
It is due to this reasons that motivated us to adopt the strategy to be able to hasten the
physical development of Abuja and provide infrastructure in a sustainable manner
In the study, it has been seen and analysed that FCDA or Government carries all
the financial burden in terms of provision of all the components of physical infrastructure
in Abuja. Also the elements and shortcomings of the various public sector providers of
infrastructure have been identified. Similarly, stake holders within Abuja that are
responsible for infrastructure provision have been identified, and their financial base
analysed.
Finally, policy recommendations have been made within the participatory
framework for sustainable provision and management of infrastructure in Abuja city.
