significant effect on performance of public sector in Abia State and that size of underground

arising from underground economic activities by minimising attractions/inducements to

entrepreneurs to operate within the official economy through less stringent business
registration and operating requirements, greater government commitment to the provision of
public goods and infrastructure and such other conditions that favour of public sector
performance
