Abstract

This study examined the effect of monitoring and evaluation strategies on project completion in Cross River University of Technology (CRUTECH). The specific objectives were; to examine the effect of project inspection on project completion, to ascertain the effect of engineering certificate on project completion, to investigate the effect of contractor’s integrity and to determine the effect of stakeholders’ interest on project completion in Cross River University of Technology (CRUTECH). Data were sourced from primary through questionnaire. The population of the study was two hundred and fifty(250) and using Taro Yamane, the sample size was one hundred and fifty three(153) Simple regression statistical tool was adopted to investigate the effect of monitoring and evaluation strategies on project completion. The findings revealed that project inspection had a significant effect on project completion, engineering certificate had a significant effect on project completion, contractor’s integrity had a significant effect on project completion and the research also discovered that stakeholders’ interest positively affected project completion. The study recommended that the management of Cross River University of Technology (CRUTECH) should carry out strategic policies that will encourage departments efficiently to meet goals and objectives. Also, management should be involved in capacity building for monitors and evaluators.
