ABSTRACT
This research work was
necessitated by the need to effectively understand the role of policy
implementation on the performance of Nigeria public sector organization.
However, the government
with relative capital has therefore failed an irresistible temptation of going
in to detect investment in economic venture. But of recent, when has been
the nation the public sector enterprises are having problems in policy implementation.
Among the forms of business establishments, the public sector is the most
dominant in the economy. Lesser attention has been paid to problems of
policy implementation in the public sector while more emphasis is being placed
as their productivity.
Meanwhile, the failure
of parastatals is not inherent in the nature of the enterprise. Is there
failure due to the incapacity of the owner and their agenda to allow management
to manage the enterprise?
Infact, as the
researcher proceeds and advances in his research, these questions will receive
their most appropriate answers. Also, vague ideas about its policy
implementation performance and its activities will be explained including its
pre-historic era.
Above all, the role of
policy implementation on the performance of Nigeria public sector organization,
which is the care of this research work, will be outlined with recommendations
for its improvement, continuous growth and
survival.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
The aim of this chapter
is to present the introductory part of this project work, sub-divided into the
following sub-headings
1.1 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 delivery of various social services. 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 basic 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 b
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 issue 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 investments 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 notion 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 Nigeria
public sector organization with special reference to the Nigerian
Telecommunication Limited Enugu, The publisher of printer newspaper.
The Nigerian
Telecommunication Limited Enugu was established immediately after the creation
of Delta State on 27th August 1991, from the former Bendel
State.
Its primary
responsibility is to gather and disseminate information within Delta State and
Nigeria in general. The affairs of this company is run by board of directors
whose members and chairman are politically appointed by the state government.
The board is to lay down
policy of the company while the chief executive officer (General manager) sees
to the day-to-day implementation and running of the affairs of the company. At
present the affairs of this company is group into the following departments,
administration, finance, engineering, distribution, commercial and operation.
1.2 STATEMENT
OF THE PROBLEM
Okigbo (1994) said that
the failure of parastatals is not inherent in the nature of the enterprise. The
failure is due to the incapacity of the owner and their agenda to allow
management to mange the enterprise. This is one of the many statements made by
prominent scholars in Nigeria about government owned enterprises in Nigeria.
Many of them are run at loss and government complained while the management of
these enterprises accused her of total neglect and undue interference.
It is therefore on this
basis that the researcher has considered it important to investigate these
enterprises with special reference to Nigerian Telecommunication Limited Enugu
to look further into possible solutions to such problems as
1.
Identifying the causes of non-implementation of management policies in the
public sector organization and making due recommendations as a way of solving
the problem
2.
How the integrity of managers in POINTER influences policy implementation and
its reflection on the assignment of organizational objectives.
3.
Finding ways and means of improving efficiency and effectiveness in the implementation
of policies in the said public sector.
1.3 PURPOSE
OF THE STUDY
The public enterprises in Nigeria as we have seen are characterized
by
many problems as regards policy implementation. This
research work attempts to examine how to make the public
sector more efficient and effective.
The prudence of the
management workforce, policies depicts and efficient and effective
organization. This study therefore tries to discuss.
(i)
Problems of implementation of management policy in the Nigeria public sector.
(ii)
Remedies to the said problems and means of improving efficiency in the said
sector.
(iii)
Strategies for such policy implementation and for alienation of public
bureaucracies for efficiency in the said sector.
(iv)
Finally is making due recommendation in subsequent chapter of this research
work..
1.4 SCOPE
OF THE STUDY
In any research work, it
is important to state its scope and limitation so that criticisms and or
praises will be based on the areas one has covered. Same applies to this study,
hence the study was focused on identifying and analysing, the role of policy
implementation on the performance of Nigeria public sector organization and
making recommendation especially as it concern the Nigerian Telecommunication
Limited Enugu.
1.5 RESEARCH
QUESTIONS
The following research
questions were obtained from the administrative section of the Nigerian
Telecommunication Limited Enugu to enhance this research work to the standard
expected.
(i)
What are the problems of management policies in this organization “NITEL”?
(ii)
Do you think the fundamental managerial setting in NITEL is suitable for
another organization?
(iii)
What strategies do you envisage in order to meet management objectives?

1.6 RESEARCH
HYPOTHESIS
The following hypothesis
have been generate as a guide in this study:
Ho: Government
intervention in the operations and policies of Nigerian Telecommunication
Limited Enugu is not an impediment in the implementation and interpretation of
policies.
Hi:
Government intervention in the operations and policies of Nigerian
Telecommunication Limited Enugu is an impediment in the implementation and
interpretation of policies.
Ho: Discontinuity
in the work life span of managers and their tenure in office does not reflect
the results we get from the public sector.
Hi:
Discontinuity in the work life span of managers and their tenure in office does
reflect the results we get from the public sector.
Ho: Political
appointment and continued interference in the public sector with reference to
NITEL does not affect policy implementation.
Hi:
Political appointment and continued interference in the public sector with
reference to NITEL does affect policy implementation.
1.7 SIGNIFICANCE
OF THE STUDY
Lesser attention has
been paid to problems of policy implementation in the public sector while more
emphasis is being placed on their productivity for the fact that this study is
focused on the said problems in the public sector. The researcher took an
in-depth look at the said problem before narrowing it down to NITEL.
A well established
management machinery or a smooth running managerial team enable the
organization to enjoy the multiple effect of its merits.
