    ABSTRACT

    This premise of this research is based on Privatization and Commercialization of Government Parastatals in Nigeria with reference to Power Holding Company, Nigeria (PHCN)

    The research adopted a survey research design. A well structured questionnaire was designed and administered to respondents. A sample size of one hundred (100) was drawn from the population of study. The sampling was made based on a simple random sampling technique.

    The data gathered were presented in tables and analysed with simple percentages. The hypothesis formulated was analysed with the use of Chi-Square technique.

    Privatization and Commercialization of Government Parastatals in Nigeria

    CHAPTER ONE

    Introduction

    1.1 Background To The Study

    In recent years privatization in particular has become the most common strategy for dealing with the problems of public enterprises (Parastatals) especially since its introduction under the Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) in the 1980s.

    Privatization and commercialization of government owned parastatals in Nigeria arises as a result of observed inefficiencies, weak management structure in the allocation of productive resources in the public enterprises. The emphasis was placed when Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) was finally introduced into the Nigerian System of government in June 1986.

    In other words, the orchestrated call for privatization and commercialization of parastatals both at the state and federal levels of government was primarily due to poor performance recorded since independence on public corporation and utilities. The parastatals became drain pipes where lots of funds were pumped into annually, by the government without commensurate output.

    Nonetheless, economic deregulation incidentally constitutes one major policy hallmark of government effort at restructuring the Nigerian, economy within the framework of the World Bank /IMF endorsed Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP).

    SAP is mostly predicated on the commercialization and privatization programme which derives its legality from Degree No. 25 of October, 1988 and the privatization Act of 1999, and is aimed at competitive efficiency in all ramifications.

    In spite of indispensability of parastatals in the power sector to socio-economic development, the sector, especially in Nigeria presents a gloomy picture of under development.

    From the foregoing, this study seeks to look into privatization and commercialization of government − owned parastatals with a particular reference to the power sector. (Power Holding Company of Nigeria).
