          Essentially, privatization can be viewed as a systematic and programme withdrawer of government from these business or activities which private individual or companies can perform more effectively and efficiently than government agencies or business organization. In other words, privatization is most commonly defined as the transfer of government industries to the private sector, implying that the predominant share in ownership of asset of transfer lies, with private shareholders.

However in view of the lack luster performance of public enterprises in Nigeria and the limited scope of the private sector participation in some keys enterprises government seek to the higher to ugly tried by encouraging increase private sector participation. The strategy for achieving this object is the privatization appeals to the most prevalent and important to our nation economy. The purpose of this research work is to evaluate both positive and negative implication in privatization all government parastatal and moreover, to provide corrective measure. However, the implication of privatization in Nigeria lies with reference to decree No 25 1988 (amended 1999) which provides the legal backing for the technical committee of privatization, and thus began the major paradigm shift in the conceptualization, of public enterprises in Nigeria.

The sharp increase in price between 1984 and 1992 did not create sufficient increment is gross earnings for 1994, but the result reveals that a reduction in public sector would haven effect (at least in the short time) an prices. Result show that privatization has or resources utilization. Higher to capital employment ratio has not been affected and this also reveals that price increase in excess of 20% accursed immediately after privatization. However, are gone for good. It is one this rate that the study that privatization is the most appropriate economic recipe to achieve the much desired human development and good government.
