PRIVATIZATION OF PUBLIC ENTERPRISES, FROM PUBLIC MONOPOLY TO PRIVATE MONOPOLY: IMPLICATIONS FOR POST 2015 DEVELOPMENT AGENDA IN NIGERIA
WILFRED MCBARRY TARABINAH
Abstract
This study argued that Nigeria’s adoption of wholesale privatization of its national economic assets without a corresponding industrial base can hardly achieve the goals of the SDGs in the year 2030. A post 2015 development agenda should revisit the dubious sales of some of these assets and the government should strive for accountability and transparency in order to strengthen the fight against corruption, insecurity and poverty
