ABSTRACT Th is study examines the nexus between manpower development and utilization in the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA).Developing manpower is not an end in itself but a means to an end. It is on this note that the issue of manpower utilization becomes necessary. In light of this, the main objective of the study is to assess whether there is sign[ficant relationship between manpovver development and utilization in FCTA, to ascertain whether there is a conducive atmosphere fo r trained personnel to practise �vlwt they have acquire during training. To achieve the above objectives, the system approach was used as a theoretical underpinning fo r the study. Methodologically, survey research design is used fo r the purpose of data collection and analysis. The population of the study consist 24,900. Subsequently, sample size was selected through the use of multi stage 372 sampling. At the end of field survey, questionnaire were completed and 331 returned properly. The instntments used fo r hypotheses test is chi-square analysis. The findings of the study revealed that manpower development and utilization in FCTA is very encouraging. For instance, staff of the organization were 2,437 trained between However, lack of adequate equipment and fu nds has 2016-2018. hindered effective conduct of training programmes in the organization. Most staff who participated in training and development programmes were not given the right environment to utilize the knowledge acquired on-the-job. The study concludes that effective implementation of training policy can only be made possible when employees who attend training are optimally utilized by FCTA. It was therefo re recommended that trained personnel should be given the opportunity to practice what they have learned during training programme while adequate equipment and fu nding should be made available fo r regular conduct of training programmes. y_ xi CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background to the Study Manpower development and its corresponding utilization in the Nigerian public service are important due to the growing complexity of the work environment, the rapid changes in organizations and technological advancement. The growth further necessitates the need fo r training and development of personnel to meet current challenges. Manpower development helps to ensure that workers possess the knowledge and skills needed to perform their jobs effectively, take on new responsibilities, and adapt to changing conditions. It is imperative to note that manpower development and utilization constitute indispensable instruments fo r improving the quality of work performance, customer satisfaction, productivity, morale, management succession, business development and profitability. The aim of manpower development is to equip employees with the requisite skills in order to cope with current challenges confronting the organization. Organizations usually combine human and material resources in order to achieve their objectives. However, the availability of other resources without the development of human capital could be counterproductive. For instance; the human resource act� as an active agent that tran..,form� other re'-'0urce" t0 meaningful results in order to achieve organizational goals and objectives. In this 1 regard, one of the indispensable tools fo r optimum utilization of human resource in any given organization is the effective implementation of training and development policy.

    The Jonathan Presidency, by Abati, the Guardian, Dec. 17

    The Jonathan Presidency By Reuben Abati Published by The Jonathan Presidency The Jonathan Presidency By Reuben Abati A review of the Goodluck Jonathan Presidency in Nigeria should provide significant insight into both his story and the larger Nigerian narrative. We consider this to be a necessary exercise as the country prepares for the next general elections and the Jonathan Presidency faces the certain fate of becoming lame-duck earlier than anticipated. The general impression about President Jonathan among Nigerians is that he is as his name suggests, a product of sheer luck. They say this because here is a President whose story as a politician began in 1998, and who within the space of ten years appears to have made the fastest stride from zero to “stardom” in Nigerian political history. Jonathan himself has had cause to declare that he is from a relatively unknown village called Otuoke in Bayelsa state; he claims he did not have shoes to wear to school, one of those children who ate rice only at Xmas. When his father died in February 2008, it was probably the first time that Otuoke would play host to the kind of quality crowd that showed up in the community. The beauty of the Jonathan story is to be found in its inspirational value, namely that the Nigerian dream could still take on the shape of phenomenal and transformational social mobility in spite of all the inequities in the land. With Jonathan’s emergence as the occupier of the highest office in the land, many Nigerians who had ordinarily given up on the country and the future felt imbued with renewed energy and hope.

  • Federalism, Power Sharing and the 2011 Presidential Election in Nigeria

    Federalism, Power Sharing and the 2011 Presidential Election in Nigeria

    VOLUME 11 NO 1 31 FEDERALISM, POWER SHARING AND THE 2011 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN NIGERIA Emmanuel Remi Aiyede ABSTRACT Power sharing has become a prominent feature of post-election conflict management practice in Africa in recent times. A study of the Nigerian experience provides useful lessons about the theory and practice of power sharing in a divided society with a federal system. Nigeria instituted the ‘zoning with rotation’ principle to shore up the affirmative action/federal character principle earlier devised to manage the inter-ethnic tensions that followed the crisis thrown up by the annulment of the presidential elections of 12 June 1993. This article examines the challenges and debates over power sharing in the build-up to the 2011 elections as a result of the entrance of Goodluck Jonathan (a southerner) into the presidential race, made possible by the death of President Umar Musa Yar’Adua (a northerner) in a clear upset of the power-sharing arrangement. It argues that while the ‘zoning with rotation’ principle remains useful for stability and representation in Nigeria its sustenance depends on its flexible application and the creativity of the elites as they negotiate and manage the power disequilibrium that results from perceived access or lack of access of segments of Nigerian society to top political office. The Nigerian case shows that the ‘zoning with rotation’ principle is problematic as a long-term solution because it constrains the notion of free political competition and the uncertain outcomes that are central to democracy. INTRODUCTION At the heart of the search for a solution to what Ayoade (1998, p 106) describes as ‘representational equity’ in Nigeria is the preference of the political elite for power sharing.

    PART ONE: Chapters 1-4. Introduction, Methodology, review of relevant literature, and a conceptual framing of the problem and relevant issues. 1 CHAPTER ONE 1.1 Introduction: Most theories of mass communication up to recent times have concerned themselves with intended or unintended effects of the media on its audience. Accordingly, both early and more recent empirical research have cast doubts on generally accepted notions concerning the powerful effects of the mass media, arguing that a good deal of media content is potentially informative rather than persuasive. (McQuail & Windahl, 1981: 56) One model of mass communication effects, the agenda-setting theory, offers a way of connection, between information and a possible opinion effect. The agenda-setting hypothesis as an effects theory of mass communication has not only survived its critics (see 3.4: A critique of the Theory) but also continues to flourish in its position that by simply paying attention to some issues at the expense of others, the media affects public opinion. Indeed, the above is a proposition of great utility. However, this study takes the view that opinions, attitudes and behaviors of people may change or even be altered not necessarily because the media has caused an issue to be elevated in importance to the public; but rather, people, that is media or message sources, it can be argued, manipulate the media (media content) selectively for “a plurality of individual needs 2 and dispositions” (Langer, 1998:12). The above, I suggest, may be what interpretive experts of the expansive days of the media’s stimulus-response theory interpret variously as media influence on its audience - attitude, behavior or opinion change (see Curran, Gurevitch & Woollacott 1982; McQuail 1969).
