Akinku (1978:7), the concepts of training manpower developing were not clearly understood in most of our development countries. This was also supported in where he said “we are yet to find out what the four M’s in our mist are, all efforts to improve on our productivity yield no result” The four M’s means man, materials, machine and money.
With the change 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.
Layemo (1995;2) mentioned in a lecture on supervisory Management Training Course, that “the basic problem of developing Countries is not lack of natural resources but the underdevelopment of their human resources”.
