A total number of thirty (30) questionnaires were distributed and all were received and used for the analysis.

All received information were analysed with the use of the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) Version 22. The findings revealed that the most popular form of PPP used in the municipality was the Build Operate Transfer (BOT). Opportunities exist for financiers in the form of investment; the community in the form of employment and the enjoyment of various social amenities like hospitals, commercial stores, KVIP’s, market and among others. In conclusion, the research recommends a routine public education on the PPP policy, proper documentations of all arrangements and a universal reform for its implementation to help in the country’s growth.
