Abstract
This study is an evaluation of the Roles of Public Enterprises in National
Development w i th Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company KRPC as a case
study. The study was undertaken with the objective of identifying the role of
KRPC in national development. To facilitate this, some hypotheses were
developed, relating to the question of funding, manpower training and
motivation, autonomy and their impact on the performance of the organisation.
The study employed the empirical approach in collecting data. The use of
questionnaire, interviews, focus group discussions and observation, were
therefore adopted. Secondary sources of data were also exploited as text
books, journals, magazines, KRPC documents and official publications were
also used for the purpose of collecting data.
The study found out that KRPC is not optimally performing and therefore cannot
contribute optimally to national development. The tested hypotheses of the
study also proved that the unimpressive performance of KRPC is basically
caused by: lack of adequate and timely funding; lack of adequately trained and
motivated manpower; and lack of autonomy.
To make KRPC more efficient and for it to contribute more effectively to
national development the study recommends better personnel training and
placement policy; more motivation for staff; and a greater autonomy for the
organisation among other recommendations
