Project delays in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector: Context and importance

Oil and gas projects in Nigeria have suffered delays that have accounted for losses in processes resources, due to poor planning and questionable change management framework, despite the abundance of project resources, tools and techniques, and bodies of knowledge.
The lack of standardized framework by project stakeholders across the board has reduced project measurement and tracking efficiency across the length of the value chain, thus impacting on planning decisions at milestones and gates. If more attention is paid to project planning and schedule, it could lead to an improved project output, thus matching project deliverables with the expected outcomes.
