📖 ABSTRACT/OVERVIEW
Stakeholder salience, encompassing power, legitimacy, and urgency dimensions, is theoretically expected to evolve across project lifecycles and to influence delivery outcomes, yet longitudinal empirical evidence is absent from Nigerian infrastructure literature. This study examines the longitudinal dynamics of stakeholder salience and their relationship to project outcomes in Nigerian infrastructure projects. A panel study design will track 60 infrastructure projects across road, water, and energy sectors in Lagos, Kano, and Port Harcourt over 36 months. Stakeholder salience assessments using the Mitchell, Agle and Wood framework will be conducted at project initiation, mid-execution, and closeout. Panel data regression with fixed effects will model the relationship between salience dynamics and delivery performance. Process-tracing qualitative data will enrich causal explanation. No longitudinal salience study exists for Nigerian infrastructure contexts, making this an original empirical contribution to both stakeholder theory and African infrastructure project management literature. Findings will support dynamic stakeholder management strategies for infrastructure project sponsors. Keywords: stakeholder salience, longitudinal, infrastructure projects, Nigeria, panel data
