ABSTRACT

The focus of this study was on the effect of privatization on the economic growth and development of Nigeria: 1979-2007 in retrospect. Its aim was to ascertain the relationship between public and private sector spending and Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Ex-post facto research design was adopted for this study. Data gathered were analyzed and tested using the ordinary least square multiple regression statistical model. The results of the test showed that the combination of private and public sector capital spending significantly impacted on the GDP. It was also discovered that there existed a strong and positive relationship between GDP and public sector capital spending. The study consequently recommended that foreign investors should be encouraged to participate in the investment opportunities created by the privatization programme and should be allowed one hundred percent equity share holding in companies established in Nigeria.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0   INTRODUCTION
        The idea of privatization dates back to the position articulated by the classical economic who assumed that, here exists an unerring pendulum that always tends towards equilibrium, as the interaction of the market forces; demand and supply are believed to be capable of regulating the economy.
The more towards economic development has been the key aim of the Nigeria government since independent. However, the methodology of attaining this rapid structural growth and development has been a problem. To this extent, Nigeria since independence has been adopting different tactics towards development but, the implementation has been a problem. Besides, the use of state power, authority and resorts as to promote the economic well being of individuals and groups in society was introduced by the government.
All over the world, the public services as a matter of fact has not been know for the capacity to create wealth. Meanwhile public enterprises have usually been perceived as drain pipes for government budgets, this creating budgeting constraints and avoidable burden on the economy.
Attention which has been focus on the poor service  delivery and inefficiency, financial waste and poor management and other sundry problems have cause irreparable damage to workes and organizational goal of efficiency and effectiveness. It become a national policy sector from the areas where the private sector has the comparable advantage to perform, while letting the date concern itself with the provision of infrastructure, security and the ending environment for business to thrive through enhanced wealth creation.
In the case of Kwara State, the issue of mismanagement and under utilization which led to huge wastage of resources and manpower potentials pave the government of the day no other option but, to pursue quickly the privatization programme. Privatization is an economic policy, which entails the transfer of ownership or control of public enterprises into private hand via government divestment and sales of shares.
However, this involves the private participation in the , management and operation of public enterprises.
Privatization is the vehicle for restructuring public enterprises, deregulation and major economic reforms. It attracts foreign capital through core foreign investors, foreign equity participation and injection of new technology.
Privitization aims to achieved efficiently, increase productivity and economic growth, which will enhance for capital income and standard of living. The private sector in Nigeria has developed sufficient known;

  • How to be able to take care of investment. Financial and capital market are also sufficiently developed to be able to play the role of expected of them.

The predominant argument about privatization is on efficiency and that, government should concentrate on doing things which private operators should concentrate on doing things which and monetary policies. Another side of the argument is the need to inject additional funds into the economy from non government source. There is need for government to face the problem of dwindling foreing exchange reserves and heavy external debt. The fea should be erased from their mind because, pribatization has the effect ochanging the mix of employment opportunities and also can bridge the gaps between the rich and poor. One of the public enterprises with government 100% equity holding stated fro full privatization is the Nigeria telecommunication limited (Nitel).

    • BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Nigeria telecommunications sector has gone through metamorphosis since the colonial era. Telecommunication facilities in Nigeria were first established in 1880 by the colonial administration and these were geared towards discharging their administration function rather than provision of socio-economic development of the country.
As at independent in 1920, the total number of telephone line was only 18,724. for a population estimated at about 40 million people.
This translated to a teledensity of about 0.5 telephone lines per 100 people. The telephone network consisted of 121 exchanges of which 116 were of the manual (magneto) type and only 5were automated between 1960 and 1985. the telecommunication section consisted of the department of posts and telecommunications (P&T), where as, P&T provided internal network services, the National External Telecommunication (NET) provided the external services. The installed switching capacity at the end of 1985 was about 260,000 lives as against the planned target of about 460,000 lines, and all the exchanges were analogue.
Telephone penetration remained poor at one telephone line to 440 inhabitant against the target of 1 to 100 inhabitants recommended by the internal and telephone Union (ITU), for developing countries, congested and customer unfriendly, as a result of these, in January 1985, the east while P&T and Net were merged to form Nigeria telecommunications limited (NITEL), wile a postal division was carried out and reconstituted into the Nigeria Postal services (NIPOST). There has been a modest development in the telecommunication industry since the inception of NITEL in 1985 with a public network of about 800,000 lines capacity as at date. In 1992, the telecommunications industry was deregulated, thereby breaking the monopoly in NITEL. This scenario created new entrants into the market as private telecommunication operators (PTO), there companies such as Multi-Links, inter cellular celtel e.t.c began to provide service within interconnectivity agreement with NITEL. A new down has just set in with licensing of MTN, ECONET, GLOBACOM and NITEL as providers of Global system of mobile (GSM) communications in January 2001. MTN and ECONET launched their services in August 2001, while the GLOBACOM launched their own service in April 2003.
With the deregulation of telecommunications sector in Nigeria, the country has therefore with nassed increased activity in the sector. The sector has proven to be a catalyst for the growth and development of other sector of the economy. However, the deregulation is only a prelude eventual privatization of the state owned NITEL.

1.2       STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
    This research findings is aimed at diagnosing the probleminhered in the public enterprises. Which precipitated privatization. There is also the need to evaluate the current privatization exercise of Nigeria telecommunication limited (NITEL) as a result of the ineffectiveness of the sector to provide a better and satisfactory services for the subscribers. This will be done with the view of determine how effective the exercise is in the telecoomunictions industry in terms of being the catalyst of industrial and economic development of any nation.

    1.4 SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY

Privatization has assumed a global trandard it is necessary to be abreast with the current economic development across the world and in particular within the Nigeria economic.
