The Study examined the road blocks to Public-Private Partnership on infrastructure development (PPP) in Enugu state. It further interrogates the challenges of PPP on infrastructure development in Enugu state. Through quantitative and qualitative methods, the study found out that insufficient investments by private concerns, policy inconsistency by the government, inadequacy of public fund, foreign exchange inconsistency and corruption of both public and private officials are some of the challenges affecting efficient implementation of PPP in the state. In realizing the objective of the study, a population of 586 staff of the state’s ministry of Agriculture and the state’s investment authority reduced to a researchable size of 238 through Taro Yamane statistical technique served as our respondents. The study concluded that PPP policy generally has a positive effect on infrastructure development in Enugu state but that the identified road blocks are seriously hampering its successes. The study recommended among others that government must strengthen its regulatory frameworks if PPP initiatives must be achieved.
