    AN ASSESSMENT OF PRIVATIZATION POLICY ON COMMUNICATION INDUSTRY IN NIGERIA
    (Faculty of Social Sciences, Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba., 2008) Akindele Iyiola Tomilola
    This paper examines the implication of privatization policy on communication industry in Nigeria. The commercialization and privatization policy aims at reducing the size of the public sector economy, restructuring government's expenditure policies and fostering financial discipline in affected enterprises such that the overall result would culminate in the improvement of the efficiency of public administration and the reduction of government's fiscal deficit in order to improve the uncomfortable state of public finances. The study is based on the assumption that one of the primary objectives of the commercialization and privatization programme is the improvement of economic (productive and allocative) efficiency of enterprises. Empirically, this objective is best attained under a competitive market environment where prices are set equal to the MC of production. (The contestable market theory: Baund 1982). The study is limited to NITEL Plc.

Some of these organisations did not devote their activities to the establishment of the democratic system alone, but their operations were also directed at alleviating the sufferings of the people by addressing social and economic problems such as health, education and youth empowerment, and good governance among others. They are the mouthpiece of the society. Therefore, this study analysed constraints of CSOs in influencing democratic governance in Nigeria. Twenty-one civil society organisations were used for the study which comprises of all the twelve pro- democracy and governance-oriented civil society organisations that registered with the Corporate Affairs Commissions and 9 purposively selected non-registered pro-democracy groups. The selection of the 9 pro-democracy groups was informed by their records in pro-democracy activities, national spread and exposure to national issues. In-depth interview, as well as focus group discussion, was used. The findings showed that despite the contribution of CSOs in facilitating, enthroning and sustaining democratic governance in Nigeria they are still faced with some constraints such as fund, corruption, government interference, identity and lack of cohesion in the performance of their duty. The study concluded that for the society to appreciate their performance better there is a need for CSOs to be more pro-active in their dealings.

    (Department of Public Administration, 2015) Ameen Abdullateef; Muhammad Mustapha Orire; Akindele Iyiola Tomilola
    Civil service is the government workforce that covers all the ministries and the departments of the state and people who work in them in the formulation and implementation of policies and programmes. It is against this background that the paper examines the contemporary challenges of civil service in Nigeria. It is relevant to stress that the Nigerian Civil Service has become so tolerant that a considerable number of civil servants get themselves involved in politics which in turn is making the Service lose its actual essence. The paper therefore concludes that challenges facing the Nigerian Civil Service are poor attitude to work by civil servants, poor remuneration, indiscipline, undue politicization/political interference, corruption, ineffective service delivery among others. Hence, it is recommended that government, as a matter of concern, should deploy ways in which civil servants can be properly remunerated and serious matters relating to bribery and corruption should be treated with high sense of responsibility and accountability.
