According to (1974) Udoji report and quoted by Oshioneno (2001) the public services much be changed and strengthened to respond effectively to demand of development. They need qualified and skilled and motivated people at the right time to achieve objective to, to transfer paper plan into actual achievement of all aspect of personnel management, perhaps the most importance for us here in Nigeria today is training and management. It is good to note that public sector has continued to accord appreciable attention to proper improvement of staff of management and staff development.
