– Building Professional Administration and Achieving Improve Service Delivery in Sokoto South Local Government; An Appraisal of Manpower Development Policies and Practice –
ABSTRACT
The main purpose of this research work was to examine building professional administration and achieving improved service delivery in Sokoto south local government; an appraisal of manpower development policies and practice was prompted by the fact that there are no better ways of delivering service to the local government level which is believed to be led by the poor professional administration and manpower.
This shows that there is a close link between staff development, professional building, and efficient service delivery. Despite funding and the training program for manpower development, the local government majority of the staff are rarely trained and their performance inefficient service delivery is a failure.
Therefore, the research recommended that for proper application of better manpower development training policies and practice should be implemented motoring and supervisory of field officers in charge of service delivery.
Also, the local government should be made to embrace designed policies and manpower development and professional capacity building by the federal and state government.
INTRODUCTION
Most organizations are concerned with how to achieve improved service delivery, as such building professional administration through manpower development policies and procedures has become major consideration of any organization.
Manpower development must be based on a need analysis derived from a comparison of actual performance and behaviour with required performance and behaviour.
Manpower development is one of the major ways organization invests in the workforce for greater return today and even in the foreseeable future.
Organizational effectiveness rests on the efficient and effective performance of the workforce that makes up the organization.
The efficient and effective performance of the workforce, in turn, rests on the richness of the knowledge, skills, and abilities possessed by the workforce.
Manpower development in most organizations is a continuous act/exercise. Building professional administration and achieving improved service delivery cannot happen if employees’ training and development do not occur in an organization.
In other to maximize the productivity and efficiency of the organization, every executive, manager, or supervisor in a public or private organization has the responsibility and indeed the bounding duty to ensure the development of their employees who have requisite knowledge and expertise.
