INTRODUCTION:
1.1
BACKGROUND OF STUDY
The history of public corporation is dated around 1950, following the end of
the 2nd World War.
These corporations were established by either the Federal State and Local
governments with a view to alleviate the sufferings of the entire populace, by
given them maximum service at the cheapest rate.
The service of Enugu State Housing Development Corporation (ESGDC), which is
one of the public corporation segment in its service to the people. The Enugu
State Housing Development Corporation was established with aim to increase in
the state, the available stock of dwelling houses, commercial and industrial
buildings for acquisition by members of the public. It also undertakes the
designing, planning, development of Housing Estates either alone or in
association or partnership with other companies corporations or bodies all are
aimed at reducing the housing problems in the state and at cheapest rate and
with best services.
Government owned public corporations are of different categories. Some are
statutory corporations which merely render definite services not essentially
for any economy sense. It could be seen that most of these corporations
undertake commercial and industrial ventures and need to be run on commercial
ways. It is the reason why they are separated from the immediate control of the
civil services and take away also from the private sector. These types of
corporation are mid-way between the private business whose main interest is to
make profit for its owners and the government department which can hardly run
commercial business on account of strict public control the form of civil
service procedures. However, they are usually attached to relevant government
departments for the purpose of government control and legislative
accountability.
Public corporations are set up by Acts of parliament edicts or decrees and are
arms of the government. The advantage they have over a department of government
is that they are not being bound by civil servant red tape they can often taken
major decision by themselves within the scope of their powers subject to
certain safeguards in the national interest. As Franklin Blitz put it the chief
objective of public corporation is to free them from detailed civil service
control and so to enable them to operate successfully as commercial
undertakings.
There are three fundamental objectives for the established of public
corporations according to professor Robson and they are:
(1)
To prevent consumers from being exploited by an undue use of monopolistic
position enjoyed by them.
(2)
To satisfy the government parliament and the public that they are being run
efficiently and progressively.
(3)
To ensure that labour relations and personnel management are sufficiently good
to avoid stop payes of work owing to trade disputes.
The management of Enugu
State Housing Development Corporation (ESHDC) has been a great concern to the
public and has been greatly criticized.

cross-dimensional because it involves more than one location. Some workers and
tenants of the organization are selected through the use of stratified sampling

tenants of the ESHDC.
The researcher applies descriptive analysis based on the outcome of statistics
technique, which is stratified sampling. The target population as said above in
