POLITICS OF MANPOWER DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIAN PUBLIC SERVICE: A CASE OF EBONYI STATE PUBLIC SERVICE
Abstract: This study “The Politics of Manpower Development in Nigeria’s Public Service: A Case of Ebonyi State Public Service” aims at examining the dimensions of political under current in manpower development and utilization in Nigerian Public Service with special interest in Ebonyi State Public Service. The study which adopted a content analytical method is anchored on the Human Capital Theory. The data for the study were mainly obtained from secondary sources wherein renowned works on the subject matter in scholarly journals, books, verifiable printed materials were extensively analyzed which was corroborated with primary source through interview granted to the researchers by public servants in Ebonyi State, Nigeria. The findings of the study revealed that manpower development and utilization have overtime been negatively affected by political interference and administrative ineptitude, poor manpower planning, absence of framework for organizational skill evaluation and the abuse of federal character principle. The implication of the finding of the study is that economic development of the public sector, labor productivity, efficient service delivery, poverty reduction and political stability have continued to elude Ebonyi State in particular and Nigeria in general. The study concluded that so long as inefficient and incompetent public service has become the order of the day, it will be difficult to promote a healthy democratic growth and economic development. The study therefore recommended a rejection of corrupt practices, non-politicization of processes of manpower development and utilization, strong political and administrative will to punish anyone caught circumventing government well thought out manpower development and utilization policies under any guise.
