An evaluation of the contributions of Public enterprises to Socio-economic Development of Taraba State

ABSTRACT
This study is an Evaluation of the Contributions of Public Enterprises to SocioEconomic Development of State.
Development whether at the national, state or local government levels has
always constituted the central focus of every administration either civilian or
military. Industrialisation, is recognised as a catalyst of rapid economic
development. In Taraba State in particular, the great desire to industrialise arises
partly because of the relative backwardness of the state, which depends for over
90% of her revenue from the federal government. Realizing how vulnerable the
state is, as a result of dwindling revenue from the federation account accasioned
by the 1980s world glut the economic recession that followed and the poor
financial management of available resources, the leadership set out to reverse
this trend. Realising the relationship between the establishment of manufacturing industries within the state and economic growth and development of the
state, the government thus made the establishment of small and medium scale
industries one of its cardinal objectives. To achieve this lofty objective, the
Taraba Investment and Pro-perties Limited and Taraba Transport Corporation
were established to serve as catalysts in this policy of the development process
of the state.
The evaluation was done by the establishment of three hypotheses set out to
measure such variables as employment opportunities, development of
infrastructure, rate of revenue generation and investments.
The study is based on a field research carried out in the state capital: Jalingo
metropolitan. Qustionaires and personal observation constituted the primary
sources of primary data collection, official publications by the management,
gazette, information brochure etc, constituted the sources for secondary data.
Tables and percentages were used for data presentation and analysis.
During the course of this work, it was discovered that the two companies
selected as samples relied heavily on the State Government for the their
investment capital and exhibit different characteristics in their mode of
operations, control and services.
We have recommended to the Government to grand autonomy to these
companies to enable them function professionally, monitor the activities to
ensure accountability check recklessness etc.
Finally, further research is recommended to further expand the findings where
necessary.
