And if the trend, that is, the direction in which the structure is changing towards is known, it would be easier to check particular tendencies of wrong manpower practices as they unfold in the course of time.Generally, local government administration in Nigeria is an employer of large workforce including professionals – accountants, engineers, medical doctors, pharmacists, teachers, among others.
He carried out a study on manpower planning in Local Governments in Nigeria as part of his M.Eng final year research project with the Department of Production Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Benin, Benin-city, Nigeria.
