CHAPTER ONE
It has been exonerated that the economic situation of Nigeria from the recent past to p
resent is anything but good. Datas back to the colonial ear, Nigerians economy has been saddled with planlessness and bad administration. Other countries like Taiwan, south Korea and even south African that started from the same platform as Nigerian in quest of economic emancipation have today made considerable achievement.
As for Nigeria, she was held down to low economic attainment by a vicious circle of force, tribalism, nepotism, political profiteering, poor education orientation and poor work altitude. This circle however, was often broken by seeing economic progress as in the area of grandaunt pyramids of the sixties and the oil boom era of the seventies which bid not stand the test of time.
Nigeria have been conscious of dividing economic fortunes and proclamation of such measures as how profit image operation feed the Nation,(OFN), Austerity measures war against indiscipline program (SAP) of the Ibrabim Babamosi Babangida administration (1965-93) . SAP has one of its children as privatization and commercialization.
All the above measures were geared towards economic stabilization. The extent of success of each depends upon the straight of will and purpose of their proporients.
Going down memory came, Nigeria was one known for her groundnut pyramids . In the 1970-84, groundnut production had gone down considerable from what it used to be in the sixties when Nigeria was the world trading exporter of groundnuts, by 1984, Nigeria has become a net importer of groundnut oil, cocoa, beans and cotton to mentioned but a few and so was importing more than it was exporting. With the outbreak of Middle East war in 1973, oil prices rose to an unprecedented level and Nigeria becomes the most industrialized in the developing countries.
Unfortunately she made no contingencies and could not utilize her sudden found wealth. Nigeria abused her ability to import and this depleted her enternal reserve to the barest minimum Nigeria was no longer in a position to pay for her imports through exchange earning, she began to accept short credits which ironically graduated to long term embarrassing debts.
To finance the countries long term projects she sought for and contracted to assist in the wan syndication and for which a significant amount from the loan was paid out as management fees, legal fees, placement fees and so on.
By 1981, most of the school term loan Nigeria borrowed to financial projects with long term returns began to mature by 1983, there was a backlog of matured debts and Nigeria was harrssed from pillar to post by creditors. She was advised to borrow from IMF. Given their considitionalities, but Nigeria refused because of us far reading Implication on the economy.
The government rather Rose to impose economic measures with the aim of restricting the economic, making the productive sector more completive and reallocating resource for more efficient uses. However, because of the lack of political will, the measure were not pursued vigorously until the military came win 1984 with a view of ensuring a turn around from economic independence and depression. This economic down turn was accompanying by austerity. In this case, the problem was not solved as there was a persistent decoration of the balance of payment , external debt problem, capital flight and further devaluation of the Niara. To correct some of these anomalities and Immune, the economy future shocks. The military government reacted promptly and mapped out the economic recovery package –SAP to improve resources, allocation increase economic potential.
Privatization and selective commercialization therefore forms one of the measures for implementation and realization of the objective of SAP.
The study on the effect of privatization and commercialization on company management is commercialization on company management is organized under three chapters.
The first chapter introduces the topic of the study, give the background of the subject matter, problem associated with the subject matter, problem that search will contend with , important of studying the area, definition of important terms, then reference.
The second chapter reviews literature which has been written on the subject matter in the past presentation analysis the data, and makes recommendation, which brought about reference.
The aim of these studying are: To investigate the effect of the initiated process of gradual succession of public sector enterprises by the private sector on such enterprises that by the nature of their operation and other socio-economic factor are best performed by the private sector.

Privatization and commercialization of public enterprise like wind is blowing across the world, dismantling old structures and ideas and creating new foundation in political economy.
The world privatization was corned to desirable the process of moving from the public to the business. It involves the sale of formerly public enterprises to private individuals and groups.

The study will examine if privatization could be a remedy for all billing public sector, it will also examine the most efficient way in which privatization policy will re-applied so that the best will be extracted from it .
