dc.description.abstractThis paper analysed the perceptions of two relevant stakeholders on the ongoing Eko Atlantic City project in the context of specific historical and contemporary premises to ascertain how the government may have to adjust its approach to urban renewal cum development in line with the best global practices. The study employed the purposive and random sampling techniques to constitute its two respondent groups. The first is the project-affected group and the second is the project's directly-unaffected group. The paper examines the degree of harmony between the two groups' views on the project's positive and negative impacts as well as the extent to which they considered the project beneficially relevant Further, it examined the extent to which relevance acknowledgment of the project is influenced by gender, employment and education attributes of the two groups Findings show that the two groups differ sharply in their relevance-perception pattern of the development cam renewal project. None of the three examined variables exhibited any significant polarizing effect on the relevance assessment of the project by the project-affected group, in contrast to the project-neutral group among whom gender and employment status exerted a significant differentiating impact on their relevance-perception of the project. The paper emphasises the need for more researches that would aim at identifying more correlates of project-relevance assessment by much more diversified stake holders. Such correlates would provide clues to government as to what factors or influence-groups are pivotal to mobilising support for critical renewal/development projects without necessarily employing the force-driven approaches of the past.en_US
