2.0 BACKROUND OF THE STUDY
Privatization means the relinquishing of part or all the equity and other interest held by the Government or its agencies or enterprises whether wholly or partly owned by the Federal Government. This means reduction of public sector intention in the economic activities divestiture of government activities.
Privatization can also be defined as transforming of the government own enterprises from state to private ownership with a view of making profit.
One of the topical issue in our drive for enresructured economy is privatization. The government felt that some public sector business are performing below expectations, some incurred huge debt which are long repaid and serviced by the government. The government also because worried that substantial part of its capital roles were used to support public enterprises where provision of goods and services were often expensive, inefficient and subject to political manipulation. The federal government therefore decided and in stilling these enterprises as a way of saving costs and in stilling the spirits of efficiency in the affected enterprises.
According to a publication in the Daily Star News paper of August 28th, 2000, there have been many years in Nigeria of exhaustive deliberations to share holders on how to put the Nigerian economy on the part of sustainable growth and development. Now a consensus has emerged on the imperative of privatization of state owned enterprises. This quotation from the Daily star has gone a long way in explaining what privatization is all about.
According to a publication in the post express News paper of February 25th, 2003: by Tony Obiechina, “ in a bid to ensure that the privatization programme of the present administration does not suffer any set back the United Kingdom Department of International Development (UKAFD) has granted the Bureau of public enterprises (BPE) E8 million (about N 1.6 billion) to enable it continue with implementation of the programme”
Infact business world will define the topic as the decision to free state founds from the encumbrances of its parastalas, for instance according to Business Guardian at the close of the year 1998, Government subvention and subsidies to its about 580 parastatals, agencies and extra-ministerial department on enormous. The paper added that government in these parastatals would force on equivalent of this amount for more government business that would impact on the life of the persistence the birth of privatization to achieve this aim.
More so, privatization is a process where by the government sells its share in certain companies or parastatals where it has controlling interest to private individuals.
Interest of government on privatization is not unconnected with the reliance of the effectiveness of the market forces to determine a more meaningful allocation of scarce resources instead of completely regulated forces.
The arduous task of ensuring the smooth implementation of this lofty programme rests on the shoulders of the technical committee on privatization appointed by Babangida.
It could be understood that privatization was one of the preconditions laid down by the international monetary fund (IMF), to assist financially the developing countries of which Nigerian is one.
According to His Excellency, the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, General Olusegun Obansanjo in a speech while inaugurating the National Council on privatization in July 1999, “we are privatizing for the benefit of our economic recovery and our social life, it is not meant and /or designed to share our national assets to a few rich people”.
This programme was initiated by the Abdulsalam Abubakar Administration who put in place or ending enactment on the eve of her exist in power. This Administration also drew the guidance and modalities for implementation.
The present administration of the present president of the country, General Olusegun, Obasanjo also pursued the realization of the overall objective of this programme.
Understandably, government intends to realize some money in the measure of its ownership in these companies and to block the drain on government revenue from operating the enterprises in efficiently, it is not worthy to observe that Government cannot carry out this task in isolation.
More important is the role of financial institution in the programme. It is the intention of the writer to X-ray the role one of these financial institution commercial Banks will play in ensuring a smooth operation of privatization programme.
