Abstract
It is a well-known fact that most of the public ventures
(Parastatals) set up "by present end previous governments did and
are still operating below their expected levels. This nonperformance
has forced researohers and other public policy
analysts to go into the study of the principal pankerworm that
has bedevilled these organisations.
Management, among other things has been found to be the
ior problem that is seriously hampering the smooth operation
of these organisations.
To enable the researcher undertake a study of the effectiveness
of management in handling the affairs of the organication,
questionnaires and interviews were applied, and the results of
the findings show that Managerial effectiveness has not been bas<
on the areas of planning, organising, controlling, directing,
communicating and staffing because of the simple fact that most of
these parastatals have no autonomy to exploit the best out of :
tools at their disposal; dearth of finance, poor staffing policies
The parastatals do not have that single opportunity of employing
the best and most qualified staff to run their affairs.
In view of the fact that the problems have been identified,
a conclusion was reached that for managerial effectiveness to be
achieved, total autonomy in terms of staffing, planning end
organising should be left to management and adequate finance
should be provided. Furthermore, Board members should be selected
on merit and not on their 'connections' with the powers that be.
