The researcher having looked at the aims and
objectives of monetization wants to argue that equitable provision of amenities
as one of the aims should not be inclusive as an aim to be pursued as those
amenities were actually what monetized and given to our civil and public
servant in money form.
The researcher also deem it necessary
to add that monetization was not only aired at cutting down cost and wastages
as declared by Njoku (2003), but also geared towards motivating workers to
achieve efficiency and effectiveness, which was not noted by the different
scholars.
Finally, the researcher observed
that different scholars aired their views on what monetization is all about,
its aims and objectives, and its effects, but failed to acknowledge the fact
that it has some accompanied problems.
These problems as observed by the
researcher include that, monetization brought about a situation of inferiority
complex on the side of the low cadre officers who could not benefit well from
the policy. The researcher also observed that through the policy of
monetization some workers were retrenched from the civil service, since many
offices were closed down as a result of monetization.
Generally, monetization creates a
situation where government will further enrich those that were already rich in
the service; thereby widening the gap between the rich and the poor.
