Abstract

The purpose of the study was to examine the influence of the facilitative leadership of the District Executive Directors on the Road maintenance status among local government authorities. The specific objectives were perceived extent of effectiveness of roads maintenance in the study area, identification of administrative impediments retarding the effectiveness of roads maintenance, participation of LGAs towards environmental, social, health and safety issues during roads construction and mitigation measures against challenges encountered by LGAs in road construction projects. Data were collected from 120 respondents by using a standard structured questionnaire for Facilitative Leadership and Roads Maintenance Status. The Statistical Packages for Social Science Analysis (SPSS version 21) eg. Chi-Square and Binary Regression, and descriptive analysis were used for data analysis. Results indicate that there was a relationship between perceived general facilitative leadership style and roads maintenance status where by the nominated DEDs must attend facilitative leadership training courses and extend their involvement practice to include the public that could help in protection of roads for their prolonged lifespan. Note that two qualities of facilitative leadership style, which are involvement in planning roads maintenance activities and involvement in collective implementation of the road maintenance budget activities uniquely, explained roads maintenance status having controlled all other variables in the conceptual framework. Recommendations for the practice to improve roads maintenance status and for future research are provided. Keywords: Road Maintenance, Facilitative Leadership, Maintenance, Effectiveness.
