Abstract :
The economic situation in Nigeria in present
day leaves much to be desired. This study focused on the
problems affecting government owned industries in a
depressed economy in Nigeria. The study was conducted
in Ezzangbo Block Industry. Five (5) research questions
were formulated to guide the study and data were
gathered using structured questionnaire and oral
interview. The population of the study consisted of the
120workers of the industry which also formed the
sample. This is because the population was too small,
therefore there was no sampling technique. Data were
analyzed and interpreted using mean statistics. The
result of the investigations include financial constant,
inadequate infrastructural facilities, neglect by the
government and management styles as the major
problems facing the industry. Managerial laxity; lack of
incentives to workers and poor trained personnel are
how managerial problems affected the study. More so,
the study showed that the technical problems affecting
the industry included the use of inferior spare parts,
loading and off loading and break down of plants and
machinery. Operational problems affecting production
process includes power outage, articulated vehicle,
deteriorating nature of plant and machinery and power
operating skills of machines in the industry. The study
lastly revealed that government agencies seldom
supervise the activities of the manager recruitment and
training of staff and appointment of competent
managers as the extent to which government has reacted
towards solving managerial problems of the industry.
The researcher provision of financial assistance by the
government for the industry. Supervision of activities of
the industry and privatization of the industry
