This
paper has generated a lot of positive thanking towards striking a balance between
control and autonomy in public enterprises. At this point, it is possible to
make certain generalization concerning control and autonomy in the country and
continent. But, it should bear in mind that the reality of the findings and
conclusions are dependent on the authenticity of the information obtained.
The
researcher, having summarized the findings was able to conclude that if the
appointment of
the board of director and the management personnel does not
yield the desired result ie optimum ministerial control- the supervising
ministry can resort to another method.
Furthermore,
if treasury control is to be meaningful, it has to take into account the
potential and actual contribution of each enterprise to national development,
the efficiency of its management, and the various demands which government
makes on the enterprises from time to time
Finally,
government in Africa must be on the constant lookout for subtle attempt to
apply the control measures to maximize narrow sectional, political partisan, or
bureaucratic vested interests. More-so, if the aims of establishing public
enterprises are to be realized in our life time, positive measures must be
taken to promote self–sustenance and self–management in the various
enterprises
