On realizing that about 80% of the capital budget of an oil and gas project is spent on contracting, the subject matter is now treated with great importance. In response to this statistics, the Nigerian government has included clauses in their policies to get the local contractors involved in the projects to reduce capital flight and achieve technology transfer. The objectives of this research were to review literature related to contracting strategies, understand and appraise the framework of the Nigerian Content policy and finally suggest how local participation can be improved. Primary data was collected from a survey via web-based questionnaires and a telephone interviews. After careful analysis and comparisons of findings, certain conclusions were drawn. A strategy for successful participation of local contractors in oil and gas projects was identified and developed. This served as a recommendation for the Nigerian government and the relevant authorities. The model showed that Nigerian Content promotion is all encompassing. The Local environment, Local Content capacity building, local infrastructure, Local Content linkages were shown to be dependent on one another, and a mixed contracting Strategy was recommended for effective Nigerian Content promotion.

Entrepreneurship (PhD)
Doctor of Philosophy [PhD]
Status Complete Part Time No Years 2020 - 2024 Project Title Female entrepreneurship and access to finance in Nigeria through a gendered lens Project Description In the history of any developing economy, entrepreneurship has been shown to drive economic growth by discovering opportunities and utilising those opportunities to effectively remove the fluctuations in the market economy, through tested entrepreneurial strategies thus growing national social capital. MSME’s contribute considerably to the economic growth of most countries around the globe. An unprecedented record of 95 percent of enterprises across the world are MSMEs. Female entrepreneurs form 23-35% of this group of entrepreneurs (MSME's). Female entrepreneurs face a number of challenges from socio-cultural, political, unfavourable business environment, lack of access to finance etc. My research aims to contribute to this debate. While there are common challenges amongst female entrepreneurs globally, national differences also abound.
