Abstract
This study was undertaken as a result of the high cost
of providing fringe benefits in the Nigerian federal
public service, which was characterised by waste,
abuse and corruption, making it an intolerable burden
on the government. Monetization was adopted to
address these myriad of problems. The major
objective of this study was to evaluate how effective
the implementation of monetization of fringe benefits
was done within the context of its stated objectives,
the most important of which was waste control. In
order to achieve the research objectives, data was
collected from primary and secondary sources. The
primary source consisted of survey questionnaire and
interview, while secondary source consisted of
Internet, Encarta 2003-2007, Textbooks, Journals,
News-dailies, Periodicals and other publications.
Findings showed that implementation of the
monetization policy was poorly handled, thereby
bringing unintended outcomes. The researcher
recommended that, while some aspects of
monetization like official vehicles were effective in
waste control, there were other aspects like auction of
government houses that needed to be reversed.
Government did not show enough commitment in the
implementation of monetization policy. It was
recommended that government should have
demonstrated more commitment in implementing the
policy and avoid whimsical inconsistency in the
process to achieve the main objective of controlling
waste
