INTRODUCTION
Public corporations are government owned institution established to engage in production of certain goods and services for socio-economic welfare of it’s citizens. Such goods and services may be those, which the private sector may not provide adequately or may not provide at all for lack of incentive for maximum profit.
The performance of some of the public corporations in terms of rendering or giving services to the public has been a matter of great concern to the country.
The corporations have been performing below expectations of people, which do not justify the huge amount of money invested in them by the government. What has been common in some public corporations is low productivity. According to Mali Paul (1978, P.23), productivity is the measure of how well.
Resources are brought together in organization as well being utilized for accomplishing a set of results. Productivity is reaching the highest level of performance with the least expenditure of resources; the inverse of this is low productivity.
The gross effects of low productivity in Nigerian Public Corporations have been affecting the lives of Nigerian negatively. Given the rate of low productivity in these corporations, one may ask why these corporations are inherently characterized by low-productivity in spite of all government effects and financial to assistance to them which are aimed at improving the economy and thereby satisfying the ever increasing need for improved productivity.
However, improving the performance and productivity level of public corporation is a good way of achieving a higher standard of living of people as well as boosting the prosperity of the overall Nigerian economy.
