The study is a case study research where project managers of selected 40 mega construction projects in Lagos, Nigeria were sampled. The study adopted a questionnaire as the research instrument as well as the use of purposive sampling technique for drawing up the samples for the study. The study found out that ineffective communication, incomplete identification of stakeholders, complexity of the project and changes in stakeholder's interest are the most significant inhibiting factors affecting stakeholder's management of mega construction projects.
