Abstract
It
is because of social issues like
economic inequalities, unemployment that made sate to interfere in economy of
Nigeria. Government chose public sector as a means or medium for economic and
social development due to poor managerial skill, weak technological base etc,
this enhanced the zeal to establish various enterprise institutions in Nigeria.
Then, due to inadequate capital and lack of finance, public enterprises in
Nigeria are confronted with many problems by the employees, mangers and
political interference in affairs of public enterprises. The project title is
an appraisal of privatization in
Nigeria:
A case of the power holding company of Nigeria. The problems are is
political inference and mismanagement of resources responsible for the poor
performance of public enterprises in Nigeria? Could policy of privatization and
commercialization enhance the efficiency of public of public enterprises? Structural functional
theory is used as suitable framework of analysis for the policy of
privatization and commercialization of public enterprises in Nigeria. The
researcher reviewed some relevant textbooks, also used, the secondary mulhod of
data collection. He found out the privatization is seen as means to harness
economy or as measure to increase efficiency of the public section organization
also, the privatization and commercialization has improved the potential, the efficiency
and service delivery in Nigeria by making telecommunication easily accessible
and affordable. These one the recommendations; as the privatization is in the
hands of few individuals government should ensure that before granting and
select the competent people who will handle private enterprises and not people
of questionable character. The only thing left is for government to hands- off
from those enterprises as advocated in the current or present privatization and
commercialization exercises.
