A Systematic Review of Commercialization of Public Enterprises in Global North and South
(Covenant University Journal of Politics & International Affairs, 2023) Okeke Ngozi Okwuchukwu; Gberevbie Daniel E.
Commercialisation is a deliberate government strategy that aims to increase economic development and efficiency by lowering government involvement and expanding the range of activities performed by the private sector through the transmission of government-owned assets to private ownership, and promoting the participation of private stratum in public activity. This study therefore aims to analyse the introduction of commercialisation in countries both in the global north and global south. This study also aims to unravel the merits and demerits of commercialisation as well as the factors that led to the success or failure of the commercialisation process in the countries listed. The study engaged secondary data while it adopted the liberal theory and a descriptive survey research design. For this study, secondary data were collected from published works, academic journals, books, reports, and online materials. Findings revealed that following the ostensibly successful commercialisation programme in Britain, the commercialisation of public businesses has emerged as a key policy tool in countries both in global south and global north. This study concludes generally, that the commercialisation policy itself is not a terrible notion, but that the issue is more with its implementation and the practical effects it has on the country's economic independence
Commercialisation Of Public Enterprises In Nigeria: A Study Of The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (Nnpc)
(Journal of Namibian Studies, 37, 2023) Okeke Ngozi Okwuchukwu; Gberevbie Daniel E.; Udom Adaeze Charlyn
The National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), has been known for its poor leadership and unprofitability for the past 47 years. This has been attributed to the government’s inability to repair the existing refineries, along with oil theft and pipeline vandalism which continue to hinder the petroleum revenue performance and oblige the country to import most of its refined products. This necessitated the commercialisation of NNPC. This study analysed the provisions of the PIA, which formed the basis for the commercialisation of NNPC. It also examined if the commercialisation of NNPC would boost the Nigerian economy. This study aims to ascertain the preparedness of diverse stakeholders in the country to accept the recent transition of NNPC from being a public entity to a commercialized enterprise. The Liberal and Public Choice theories were adopted. It also adopted a mixed method of data collection and utilized both the explanatory and descriptive survey research design. The findings revealed that the commercialisation policy itself is not a terrible notion, but the issue is more with its implementation. Finally, it recommended that the policy should be judiciously implemented in line with the provisions of the PIA in order to have practical effects on the country's economic independence.
Principles, Objectives, And Socio-Political Realities Of Nigeria’s Foreign Policy, 2019-2023
(Journal of Namibian Studies,, 2023) Gberevbie Daniel E.; Udom Adaeze Charlyn; Ayankoya Abimbola Rachel; Okeke Ngozi Okwuchukwu; Osimen Goddy U.
The goal of developing a country's foreign policy is to advance and safeguard the country's national objectives. Therefore, the essence of this study is to analyse the principles of Nigeria’s foreign policy in the context of the country’s present socio-political realities. The study engaged secondary data, while the theory of Manifest Destiny was adopted. Findings revealed that Nigeria has not reaped the rewards of all its sacrifices and dedication to the African course. This study recommends that there should be a reconstruction of Nigeria’s foreign policy based on its current realities of tribal sectioning and religious interest by pursuing a foreign policy that is centred on the country and her citizens as a united entity.
