CHAPTER ONE
1.0       INTRODUCTION
From the colonial days through the period of our independent, to early 80’s, public enterprise thrived in their functions.  The government established these enterprises in the country for some reasons including government intentions to retain control on behalf of the citizens, the commanding heights of the economy as epitomized by its investments in energy, communication and other important sections.  It also wished to stand market failures, engender regional development, enhance job creation capacities as well as social services delivery.
Unfortunately, as years progressed the objective of government in establishing these public enterprises where to come to nothing as the enterprises were riddle with corruption, mismanagement, over-dependences on the treasury for funding, poor service accountant by the arrogance and arrogance and insensitivity of the managers of these enterprises as well as inequities brought about by nepotism (El-Rafai, 2000).  These public enterprises began to perform below the expectation of the reason for its establishment, such enterprises as Nigeria Air Ways Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC), Nigeria Coal Corporation (NCC) the National Electric Power Authority (NEPA), gradually witnessed, obsolete facilities, corruption, mismanagement, resulting in poor service delivery huge debt of salaries and wages pension and so on.

Against this back background, it became a national policy imperative to disengage government from wasteful investment by taking public sector away from these areas where the private sector has the comparative advantage to perform, while letting the state concern to thrive through enhanced wealth creation.  To achieve these purpose the federal government started a process of privatization and commercialization since 1988.  The programme would ensure the inflow of investment, management and technology that would improve and grow the nation is infrastructure services and industries for the benefit of the people.
Privatization involves transfer of ownership of enterprises between the government and the private sector.  This implies that the predominant share in ownership of assures on transfer lies with private shareholders.  Mostly, developed countries of the world, such as Britain, United State of American (U.S.A) with sound economic base has their economic growth hinged on private sector through privatization.  Britain has about 90% of their economy in the private sector.  The same is USA which is believed to have the world most privatized economy.  Therefore, for Nigeria to integrate its economy into the main stream of world economic order, it must embark on privatization.
