PRODUCTION METHODS AND PROBLEMS OF PRODA (A CASE STUDY BY PRODA ENUGU).

ABSTRACT A question might be asked as to why I chose to study and write on the production methods and problems of PRODA. I would like to point out the fact that I was motivated to take up this topic so as to provoke mire academic discussion as a way and means of providing a lasting solution to the numerous and telling problems that usually, if not always, confront business enterprises, more especially, in Nigeria. After due consideration I had the feeling that not much has been contributed in this sphere of study, otherwise, the much talked about production problems would have been minimized, if not eliminated. Moreover, any person who is aware of the general trends of the performances of the business enterprises in Nigeria that engage in production would, no doubt, see with me that their performance have much to be desired despite the huge amount of resources invested in them and also when one considers the inevitability of production to the economic, social and political survival and development, of any country. Production oriented business enterprises emancipation and social development, have more or less, contributed less. This inefficiency, and ineffectiveness of these business enterprises, is instrumental to Nigeria’s continued dependence on imported goods and services. Consequent upon the aforementioned, the project development institute, PRODA Enugu, was selected as a reference point to find out the methods and problems it encounters in its production process with a view of making recommendations and lasting solutions.
