    • 1.2     STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
      The unceasing abandonment and failure of development projects is so shocking in the developing countries such that Nigerian has remained one of the countries in such difficulty (Ayodele and Alabi, 2011; Kotangora, 1993; Osemenan, 1987). Therefore, the significance that the incessant abandonment of projects and construction failure would bring several effects on the aesthetics of the environment, real properties and its values and the economy cannot be overemphasized since some of the development projects provide the basic services that should meet the needs of the people. However, this study will examine the causes of construction project failure and abandonments in Nigeria.
      1.3     OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
      The following are the objectives of this study:
      1.     To examine the causes of construction project failure and abandonments in Nigeria.
      2.     To examine the effect of construction project failure and abandonments in Nigeria.
      3.     To determine the solution to the problem of construction project failure and abandonments in Nigeria.
      1.4     RESEARCH QUESTIONS
      1.     What are the causes of construction project failure and abandonments in Nigeria?
      2.     What is the effect of construction project failure and abandonments in Nigeria?
      3.     What is the solution to the problem of construction project failure and abandonments in Nigeria?
      1.6     SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
      The following are the significance of this study:
      1.     This study will educate the general public and the experts in the building industry on the causes of construction project failure and abandonments in Nigeria with a view of proffering solution to the problem.
      2.     This research will also serve as a resource base to other scholars and researchers interested in carrying out further research in this field subsequently, if applied will go to an extent to provide new explanation to the topic.
      1.7     SCOPE/LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
      This study on causes of construction project failure and abandonments in Nigeria will cover the issues of abandoned projects, failed project and all other abandoned infrastructural facilities.
      LIMITATION OF STUDY
      Financial constraint- Insufficient fund tends to impede the efficiency of the researcher in sourcing for the relevant materials, literature or information and in the process of data collection (internet, questionnaire and interview).  
      Time constraint- The researcher will simultaneously engage in this study with other academic work. This consequently will cut down on the time devoted for the research work.
