CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Some years back, the concepts of training and development of employees were vaguely understood in most of our developing countries. This was supported by Dr. Akinku in his book ANigeria Today@ when he said, Awe are yet to find out what it is, are the 4ms absent in our mist? All efforts to improve on our productively yield no result@. Referring to his 4m=s he meant, man, materials, machine and money.
With the turn of events, and increased awareness both the developed and developing countries have come to appreciate the problem of employee development and training in many organizations.
In his inaugural lecture on supervisor management training course, Layemo said that the basic problem of developing countries is not lack of natural resources but the underdevelopment of their human resources
