by Okechukwu Dominic Nwankwo and Uche G. Akam

Abstract:
This study investigated the perceptions different categories of workers had about the privatization of public organizations in Nigerian. The participants used include the private and public organizations as well as the high experienced and low experienced workers. The workers? perceptions were tested with null hypotheses at P<.05. Again, 1009 participants were sampled for the study using cluster-sampling method. Their responses were tested with independent t-test. At P<.05, the null hypotheses were accepted. The possible reason for the outcome of the study could be attributed to the inefficiency and frustration Nigerians experience with many public organisations in the country. Consequently, they (workers) tended to consider privatization as a viable alternative policy of restoring efficiency in Nigerian public organizations. Thus, government should not use the privatization programme as deceit and political tool. Nigerians expect much benefits from the programme
