AN ASSESSMENT OF THE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF ENUGU STATE WATER CORPORATION
PREFACE
A lot has already been written this subject “an assessment of the management system of Enugu State Water Corporation” but most of the analysis centres on the problems of Enugu State Water Corporation and how to curb them. Few of them have taken to find the factors that hinders the effectiveness of the corporation.
This seems to be a mockery of the government’s good intentions of establishing it to raise the standard of living of the citizenry. From the work of earlier researchers’ seminars and talks delivered by eminent scholars, it is now evident that the corporation is not living up to expectations and standard because of some defects and problems.
This research work will not only examine some of these problems but will also consider the factors that hinders the effective operation of this corporation after which solutions and possible ways of curbing them will be highlighted. This work will also carry the great challenge of bringing the force one management system of the Enugu State Water Corporation right from the cradle. This study will show the effectiveness of the management system of the corporation and to suggest one management principles that when applied will help the corporation work efficiently and achieve its goals and objectives.
I believe my criticism will stimulate new contributions from other scholars, researchers and students for a positive result on the management of Enugu State Water Corporation.
ABSTRACT
This research work is based mainly on the assessment of the management system of the Enugu Water Corporation. The purpose of this work being to highlight solutions that will curb the problems that arise from the corporation as a result of the management system of the corporation.
Most of the data used in this work were collected by the use of questionnaire which were distributed to the sample staff of the corporation. I made use of both primary and secondary data collections and from responses and observation, it was gathered that workers in the corporation were not being motivated that their level of integration were not satisfactory and government undue interference in the management of the corporation is not conducive and satisfactory.
Based on the findings, it is recommended that if the corporation will adopt a good management system and be able to keep proper record of its account at the same time motivating their employees as expected its problems and setbacks have to be curbed. Considering the government undue interference in the corporation, it is suggested that since Enugu state Water Corporation Board is owned, managed and controlled by the government, it should dance to the whims of the government as the government is to provide a conducive environment and atmosphere for it. The corporation is not profit oriented.
