Abstract: Road rehabilitation is the processes involved in repairing portions of an existing pavement in order to reset the deterioration process. This paper establishes the influence of road rehabilitation on flexible pavement performance in Nigeria. A structured questionnaire was prepared to obtain the primary data for this research. The survey population consisted of 75.7% experts who have been involved in flexible pavement rehabilitation process, the population also included the 24.3% less educated but experienced equipment operators who have reasonable years and wealth of experience in pavement rehabilitation works, hence, confirming their suitability as respondents for this study. Data obtained from the survey were subjected to both descriptive and statistical analysis through one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) on the survey data using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) to establish or otherwise the influence of road rehabilitation on flexible pavement performance. The findings revealed that the design factors variable indices under the Likert scale of 5-strongly agree which were 2.15, 2.51, 3.34, and 3.61, likewise the performance variables under the same category which were 0.83, 0,55, 1.64, and 2.63 are the highest which means design factors affect rehabilitation significantly and performance factors affects pavement performance significantly. These category factors were cross-analysed and the results established the significance of the study and confirmed the influence of road rehabilitation on flexible pavement performance in Nigeria. In conclusion, rehabilitation of flexible pavement should be carried out by experts with the intent to achieve the factors of pavement performance.
