PRIVATISATION OF GOVT COMPANIES A WIN-WIN MOVE FOR BENUE-TERVER AKASE.{PHOTO}.

Image may contain: 1 person, phone
The present administration in Benue State made it clear on assumption of office that government lacks the financial resources to run its industries so it would get investors for lease, concessioning and related acceptable industrial practices. This has been done with the Fertilzer Blending Plant.
The decision to privatize the said government entities became necessary when investors were not showing genuine interest in the companies. A few who came, received maximum cooperation from the Benue State Government which was willing to provide its own part of the partnership and had indeed begun to do so in Taraku Mills Ltd, Wannune Tomato/Mango Factory, Katsina-Ala Yam Flour Factory Ltd among others where revamping efforts commenced. The State Government had waited till the time given to the investors who indicated interest elapsed. None returned.
Sometimes, the fear we show towards new policies soon gives way to belief and conviction. Privatisation is not a bad government policy. The fact that a company in Benue is sold to a private owner does not mean it is to be lifted to Sokoto or Kano. All the companies put on sale will remain located in Benue State after their sale. The investors will revive the companies and employ our youths. Imagine all these industries back on stream in the state. Imagine the number of young graduates that would get jobs.
Privatization leads to improved efficiency in service delivery. Privately-owned companies improve their operations in order to reduce costs and increase profits.
Privatization reduces government’s political interference.
Privatization urges improvement in companies through competition. When a state owned entity is privatized, it loses its government protection and is forced to adapt to the market by providing better services or products in order to survive and thrive.
The proposed privatisation of government companies in Benue State is a policy in the right direction which deserves the support of all. It is a win-win development.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
