CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTS OF PRIVATIZATION ON THE NIGERIA ECONOMY (A CASE STUDY OF POWER HOLDING COMPANY OF NIGERIA (PHCN)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ABSTRACT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is because of social issues like, economic inequalities, unemployment and lack of funds that made the Government of Nigeria to privatized some of their public sector as a means or medium for economic and social development due to poor managerial skill, weak technology base e.t.c this enhanced the zeal to establish various enterprises institution in Nigeria, then, due to inadequate capital and lack of finance. Public enterprises in Nigeria are confronted with many problems by the employees, managers and political interference in affairs of public enterprises. The project title is the economic implication of privatization of the power sector; a case study of power holding company of Nigeria. The problems are; is political interference and mismanagement resource responsible for the poor performance of public enterprise in Nigeria? What will be the economic implication of the privatization of power sector? System theory is used as suitable framework of analysis for the implication of privatization of public enterprises in Nigeria. The researcher reviewed some relevant textbook, used the secondly methods of data collection. He found out that privatization is seen as means to harness economy or as measure to increase efficiency of the public sector. This study is however divided into five chapters, chapter one deals with the background of study, statement of the problem objective of the study. Significance of the study, theoretical framework, hypothesis, method of data collection and analysis scope of limitation of the study and definition of terms, chapter two contains the historical and development of public enterprises in Nigeria. In chapter three we looked at challenges and prospects of privatization, chapter four of this work dealt with the gains of privatization of PHCN. Finally, chapter five which is the last chapter efforts shifted to the summary conclusion, recommendation and bibliography however this work is very explicit, interest and educating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CHAPTER ONE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

INTRODUCTION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.1     BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the era of post colonialism, Nigeria has at one time or another, embarked upon certain policies that have political economic implications. For instance, from 1960 to date, Nigeria has introduced indigenization and nationalization policy, operation feed the Nation (OFN), Austerity measure, structural adjustment programme (SAP), Deregulation of oil sector, Resource control Privatization of public enterprises to mention but a few. The critical question here remains. How many of these policies have been able to restructure the political economy of Nigeria to the tune of alleviating the yearnings and aspirations of the working class.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world no doubt is moving towards capitalization and any nation that is not moving towards this direction is seen as either not developing or even retrogressing. A capitalist economy is a free market economy which allows most economic decisions to be guided by the twin forces of demand and supply. Since capitalization discourages monopoly but encourages competitive market, it therefore enhances efficiency and high productivity which is very vital in any developing country\u2019s economy. In Nigeria, most government owned industries and establishments remain citadels of corruption, studies in efficiency and consequently a heavy drain on the economy. As a means of curbing this menace, the Brettonwoods institutions (IMF & WORLD BANK) have advocated the twin policies of privatization and commercialization. Incidentally, Nigeria has fully adopted this policy and is embarking on it with frenzy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEMS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Privatization and commercialization of public enterprises is a vital tool for the upliftment of a country\u2019s political economy, more especially the developing countries like Nigeria. Regrettably, the problems facing this privatization and commercialization program is numerous to include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Corruption<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Lack of transparency<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Lack of accountability<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Inconsistency and<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Incredibility.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    However, it is based on these problems that the basic propositions of this privatization and commercialization program are being hindered. In trying to look into these discrepancies and proffer a way forward towards a positive state of privatization and commercialization of public enterprises in Nigeria, this research work emanated.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This paper will take a general look on the evolution of public enterprises in Nigeria, after and the rationale for its establishment. To assess the factors that led to the privatization and commercialization of these public co-operations and its origin. Thirdly, this work will also evaluate the various privatization and commercialization programs embarked by the Nigerian government from 1988 to 2010. Finally, it is the objective of this research work to fish out those problems that have obstructed the full propositions of privatization and commercialization program as it concern its implementation and as well proffer a way towards actualizing its objectives so as to foster political cum economic growth and development of this highly endowed country Nigeria.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1.4 RESEARCH QUESTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This work will tend to ask some relevant questions like:-<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. What caused the evolution of the public enterprises in Nigeria?<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. What are the reasons why these public enterprises have to be sold despite the rationales for its establishment?<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Can these corporations function well under the care of the state rather than being privatized whether wholly or partly?<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. How far has this privatized enterprises gone in boosting efficiency and high productivity to benefiting Nigerians as a whole whether poor or rich, higher place or less privileged?<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Who are the main beneficiaries of the privatization and commercialization program?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      1.5 HYPOTHESIS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. a) Corruption is the cause of the poor performance of the public corporations<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. b) Good and transparent governance is the key to an efficient public enterprise<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. c) A well implemented privatization and commercialization programs boosts political economy of a country.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. d) Politicization of privatization and commercialization of public enterprises will lead to theses enterprise inefficiency when sold out.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        1.6 SCOPE OF THE STUDY AND LIMITATION OF STUDY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The scope of this research work focused strictly on those privatization and commercialization programs that have been embarked upon by Nigerian government from 1988 to 2010. This work will lead us to the evolution of public enterprises in Nigeria and also examine why they later turned out to be sold or privatized, partly or wholly. Finally, to analyze how politics been played by past administrations since 1988 towards this programme have ridicules this whole exercise.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        1.7 LIMITATIONS O F THE STUDY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        On the course of this research, the following problems were encountered, like short time frame. Financing problem, scarcity of information or data, etc. this is due to mainly, the wide scope of this study which emphasizes on a complex institution like Nigeria. The longer duration of the subject matter to study, which dates from 1988 to 2010 concerning privatization and commercialization program of public enterprises in Nigeria, also contributed. Now, the implication is that the short time frame mapped out for this research work posed a problem of assessing these programs as whole, but that doesn\u2019t threat the authentication and quality of this work.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Again, enough financing of the accomplishment of this work became a problem in the sense that gathering information was costly, the researcher needed enough money to gather them.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        1.8 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        This research work will help the government and readers to understand those benefits that privatization and commercialization programme embodies which we have neglected and politicized with in the past. In understanding this on the side of the government, it will allow them to rethink and work towards real implementation of it thereby creating a room for the rapid growth and development of this country. At the other hand, it will go a long way to create an avenue for more academic research.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Haven known this, it is worthy to conclude that the main beneficiaries of this study lies on the government and other readers respectively.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

         1.9 DEFINITION OF TERMS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        PRIVATIZATION: Privatization can be defined as the transfer of ownership and control of enterprises from the state to the private sector. Iheme, (1997) defines privatization as any of a variety of measurers adopted by government to expose a public enterprise to competition or to bring in private ownership or control or management into a public enterprises and accordingly to reduce the usual weight of public ownership or control or management.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Commercialization: Commercialization is act of making government owned enterprises profit oriented. Commercialization can be full or partial according to the Bureau of public enterprises Act of 1993. In both full and partial commercialization, no divestment of the federal Governments shareholding will be involved and subject to the general regulatory powers of the federal Government.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Capitalism: Capitalism means the economic system in which property is privately owned and goods are privately produced. It is sometimes referred to as the private enterprise system. It is the private ownership of the business of a society with the freedom of private owners to use, buy and sell their property or services on the market at voluntarily agreed prices and terns, with only minimal interference with such transactions by the state or other authoritative third parties.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
