In any developing economy, the government is the main initiator and promoter economic development, especially in Nigeria. In developing countries government usually intervene some areas of the economic in which the private sector cannot perform, according to Abubakar government has institute and made use of many public enterprise over the years.
It would be recalled however that in the fifties and sixties, agriculture was the main stay of the Nigeria economy. The early seventies earned for Nigeria loge crude oil revenue at a level that never was anticipated. The new dimension got government involved more with widely diversified investments in areas that span both the traditional public sector and exclusive private sector business.
        As a result of this development in  crude oil, agriculture that was the main stay of our economy was later given less attention owing to this circumstances, the  government investment were sponsored mostly by the oil revenues. The oil boom era (1994-1979) has been descried as the gold era for public investment. The government invested is over 30 parastatals and companies within the period. Most of them have been unprofitable; some private investment cannot even meet their operating costs and have depended on government subventions for their year to year survival.
        Public co-operations in Nigeria have been considered inefficient and wistful. This is because they have viewed it with the profit criterion kindleberer (1986) however hints that this is not a fair judgment economic activities it is usually not appropriate to use the performance standard of the private sector they are loses is different colours, the objective of private because is profit, while the government enterprise is series to the society or promotion of general welfare.
           Olisa (1985) said that prior to independence and after Nigeria was faced with the problem of attaining her social-economic objectives, there was no well destined capitalist class that could operate the much needed development through their productive and industrializing activities. The civil service, at that time was inappropriate for accelerated development and the private company was saddened with the problem of running much business.
        There  parastatals are established out side the civil services and this allows for greater freedom of action, quicker decision making which will promote their efficiency and effectiveness.
