“…As Aliyu et al ( 2014 ) supported, the positivist approach is built on the foundation that scientific procedures are the only authentic means of verifying knowledge. Studies on economic recession and entrepreneurship development employed the constructivist epistemology with the positivist approach (Brooks et al, 2016 ; Matthyssens et al, 2013 ).…”

The study develops a crisis response theory that could help Nigeria sustain itself in the present crisis, which is deepening unemployment, poverty, and misery due to the tremendous economic crisis it faced after the global pandemic. Entrepreneurship is viewed as a pivotal engine for reinstating the declining economic state of a country. Through the positivist research approach, the study is conducted on the owners and business executives of SMEs established and operated by entrepreneurs in Nigeria. The data analyzed through surveys, in-depth telephone interviews, and secondary sources shows that Nigeria’s economic instability is mainly because of a lack of financial assistance, industrialization, and technology limitations. Though it was observed that the government reduced certain unfriendly business regulations, corruption still caused funding conditions to shift frequently, and unreliable government policies made it challenging for entrepreneurs to thrive.

Infrastructure megaprojects are increasing in size and number worldwide. Widespread shortcomings such as cost overruns, delays, litigious threats, and community opposition are now so pervasive there is a clear mandate to rethink the way we plan, deliver, and operate our infrastructure. In this context, we situate this research to understand how megaprojects can be set up for success. Data were collected from responses to a questionnaire survey, interviews, and case studies. The questionnaire was fielded by multiple agencies involved in infrastructure projects, such as engineers, construction organizations, and government delivery agencies. For qualitative insights, we conducted 30 interviews with participants from these agencies and studied cases that successfully implemented the themes identified. The results highlight the three themes with the highest impact in delivering projects successfully: (1) Improved integrated planning, business cases, and front-end engineering design; (2) efficient use of contracts; and (3) strengthening government and political engagement. This research contrasts the literature on megaproject success with data collected from questionnaires, case studies, and interviews. Collecting solutions that have solved issues effectively is an innovative aspect of our methodology, with these findings holding considerable value for ecosystem practitioners. Thus, we contribute by highlighting eight cost-effective, relevant, and efficient ways for reimagining infrastructure megaproject delivery.

Being a mono-economic nation, Nigeria is undergoing a tremendous economic crisis due to the increased impact of recession after the global pandemic appeared. The present scenario of COVID-19 and the prevalent economic crisis in Nigeria demand a crisis response. This study develops a crisis response theory that could help Nigeria sustain itself in the present crisis, which is deepening unemployment, poverty, and misery. Entrepreneurship is viewed as a pivotal engine for reinstating the declining economic state of a country. Thus, surveys are put together in this research from different institutions and entrepreneurial ventures to evaluate the impact of COVID-19. This research suggests possible solutions based on entrepreneurial innovativeness for a better future, as it affects Nigeria vis-à-vis its economic relationship with global economic dynamics. The pandemic has worsened the prevailing economic crisis in Nigeria. Entrepreneurship can help the Nigerian economy grow, but the deep roots of corruption and unreliable government policies make it challenging for entrepreneurs to thrive.
