INTRODUCTION

1.1       BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

Personnel administration is also popularly known as human resources management. People of a country are an important asset for it, so is the case with organization. The successful functioning of an organization depends on its manpower and quality of leadership. The manpower itself does not contribute to the development of all organization; it has to be converted into human resources through symmetric planning, adequate training   and proper education. (Mutiuallah, 2014). For employees to satisfy organizational goals irrespective Of their qualification or experience, they need to be trained, retrained and developed within the context of the organization objective. Development of human resources poses major challenge for developing countries like Nigeria.

With the emergence of democratic institution and the welfare state, government as well as corporate tasks are on a steep increase and so there is an increased demand for personal at every levels in terms of efficient discharge of their duties, and it is the job if the personnel administration department to ensure that this demand is met at the right time with the suitable candidate. As personal administration   deals with the management of the human resources, the study of its concept, nature, scope and development Assume importance.

Nwachukwu (1988), argued that in economic terms, personnel administration contributes to the accumulation of effective and efficient human   capital and its investment in the development of an economy. Countries such as Japan, German, Korea, Italy etc. are known to have attained high level of development   despite the absence of mineral wealth of any significant. This personal administration of any nations is intricately integration of any nations is intricately interwoven with her economic and social development.

One important  reason for personnel administration  is that the task  of government are increase every day development and  welfare orientation have led to the expansion of government and its administrative machinery . As the tasks, responsibilities and action ties of organizations whether public or private multiply the demands of efficient dies charge of their duties also arise (Mutiuallah, 2014). This task of personnel administration is to ensure a steady source of people who can contribute to the success of ann. organization and meet the growing demands of development.

Many organizations including the federal commission need employee who will contribute effectively having the capacity of carrying out his or functions compactly highly motivated with confidante and consistently more productive than employee of equal physical ability. Some organizations have staff with ability and determination marched with appropriate equipment and managerial support yet productivity falls below expected standard. It against this background that this research was conceited using Federal Ministry of Budget and National Planning in Nigerian to carry out a thorough research on the appraisal of public personnel administration in Nigerian

The Federal Ministry of Budget and National Planning Commission (the focus of the research) was created as a result of the merging of government agencies at the exception of President Mohammed Buhari   administration in 2015. Before now it was only federal ministry of national planning commission that exist as  a federal ministry while budget was incorporated into it to make the ministry more strategic in affairs of Nigeria planning and financial presidency. However the Federal Ministry of Budget and National Planning Commission is in indelible mark period of contribution effectively to the country development

Consequently, according to Deming (1968) agencies of regulation must themselves reregulate. If the Federal Ministry of Budget and National Planning Commission is to perform its functions satisfaction as the controller and manager of the funds and development of the federation in this mille mum it should develop its work force for the enormous challenges ahead
