Manpower Development And Workers Productivity In Nigeria (a Case Study Of Enugu State Civil Service Commission)

Civil service is the bureaucratic institution which controls the entire administration and machinery of government. Over the years the Nigeria civil service has undergone different reforms in the hand of executives which were established by decree and bills. The main aim of each reform is to bring about efficiency and effectiveness in the civil service but yet still the sole aim has not been achieved. The research method used in this project is survey research. Based on these findings the major recommendations are:  Training and developing the workforce should be held in high esteem. Employees should be provided with required instruments, equipments and materials to facilitate and exhibit their trained skill and technical competence.Over politicization of vacant posts should be discouraged but professionalism and rewarded in the workforce for a result oriented civil service to be achieved. Lack of training and development programmes which ought to be continuous in the system. Monitoring the workforce to be result oriented is lacking, abuse of quota system or Federal character and inadequate provision of facilities that will enable the personnel of the service to perform better. Above all, is the high level of corruption and untold influences and pressures from the executives and political class which frustrate the workforce.
