maladministration, government interference, corruption are the reasons for failure of

privatization and commercialization could reengineer Nigeria public sector organizations;

commercialized to avoid imminent collapse; transparency, good moral and ethical standards
should be introduced as a rule in Nigerian public sector organizations.
