BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
According to Nwankwo (1992) in his book education and training for the public sector management in Nigeria states, that one of the most pressing problems of development in the newly emerging nation of Asia Africa and Latin America is the lack of management capability for planning and implementation of government programmes as well as the most of these developing countries have inherited from their colonial masters a system of administration and management that was designed for the maintenance of few basis services, law and order.
The administration and sub - culture have been persisted after independence despite the effort of these countries to individualize their public sector bureaucracies, but the rapid race at which programmes and projects are being either undertaken or sought the developing nation calls for a different kind of managerial expertise in the public sector.
In Nigeria, the nationalists that took over the administration of this country after independence in 1960 were faced with the issued of nationalizing the various segments of the economy for the achievement of rapid technological and industrial growth. In most growing economy then, money was in short supply. Additionally, skilled manpower was in short supply and private in vestments were therefore very low. Government with relative capital has therefore failed an irresistible temptation of going in to detect investment in economic ventures. But of recent, there has been the nation that the government owned enterprises are having problem in policy implementation. This research will in this study look into the problem of policy implementation on the performance of public sector organization in Nigeria with special reference to the Nigeria telecommunication limited (Nitel) was founded in the year 1985 by federal policy of Nigeria. The idea of Nitel belt was moulted during shagari administration and a bill was pass in the National Assembly to give its desired legal backing. It is the law establishing Nitel.

It is upon this structural arrangement that Nitel operation vender service to their numerous customers. The same federal government is at this point in time planning for Nitel to go into implementation of new technology probably by the year 2006.
Its primary responsibility is gather and sesseminate information within all Nitel in general. The affairs of this company is run by board of directors whose members and chairman are politically appointed by the state government.
