However, the economic aspect of privatization it is has dominate the political aspect ad today it is adopted as a major economic reform policy.
1.2 Statement Of The Problem
Nigerian economy has been at a low ebb since the 80’s with large debts and unprecedented high rate of unemployment retrenchment of workers which gives rise to a significant reduction in capacity utilization shortages of essential raw material, dwindling foreign exchange earnings and a continuous rise in inflation. Against this backdrop, statement of probes to be investigated shall include:
- Privatization of government parastatals its effect on Nigeria economy

- Is it only the rich that would benefit from the privatization (i.e in terms of buying of shares).
- Will government still have interest in the privatized companies or not.
- Are we undertaking privatization to satisfy foreigners or not,
- How much money is the government going to make from the privatization.
- How long is the privatization programme going to last?
1.3 Statement Of Research Question
This shall in clued researchable question like:
- Is it only the rich that would benefit from the privatization? I.e. in terms buying shares.
