Realizing the fact that many people do not really appreciate the role of the Local Government Service Commission, the objective of this project is to highlight the statutory functions of the Local Government Service Commission. The methodology adopted in gathering data was both the primary and secondary sources of data. The major instrument used to gather data from primary sources is the questionnaire. From a population of eighty (80), a sample size of sixty (60)respondents was selected using simple random technique. It was revealed that training in the Local Government Service Commission is usually based on job specifications and descriptions. Furthermore, short listing of candidates for interview for appointment to the commission is based on merit. It was also revealed that political consideration and tribal sentiments play a lot of roles in the selection of candidates or appointment to the local government service commission. It was therefore recommended that the staff of the commission should be well versed in general administration and local government in particular so as not to be swayed by any idea from the political staff. The commission should ensure proper training of newly recruited staff and organize regular workshops for the existing staff. Improved incentives and employee motivation, rewards and recognition system is not just a positive thing to do with people but communicating it effectively is an efficient tool in encouraging them to excel. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Public Administration project topics and materials you might be interested in»Impact of industrial conflict on the performance of workers in the government parastatal (a case study of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)»Human resources as a catalyst for economic growth and development in Nigeria (a case study of Abuja municipal area council) »The influence of effective personnel management practice in organization performance»Local government financial autonomy and grass root development in Nigeria (a case study of Afikpo north local government area)»Enhancing political stability in Nigeria through good governance ( a case study of Abia state)»Niger-Delta crisis and its impact on socio-economic development in Nigeria»Manpower training and development as a tool for effective performance in public sector in Nigeria»Bureaucracy and efficiency (a case study of Enugu state civil service)»The impact of poor revenue generation on the development of Local Government Areas»Political instability a major hindrance to effective policy implementation and good governance (a case study of Nigeria 1983 -1999)»Accountability and corruption in local government in Nigeria (Case study of Bonny local government area of Rivers state)»Fuel subsidy removal and the Nigerian economy (a case study of Abakiliki local government area, Ebonyi state) »Effects of delayed payment of lecturers salaries and wages on students performance»Impact of collective bargaining techniques on industrial relations practice (a case study of two selected firms from NUPENG and NUBIFE)»The influence of employee behaviour on the internal audit function of an organization (a case study of P.Z. industries plc Aba)
