    Training and development of human resource have been considered an expendable luxury in terms of financial constraints. The growth and development of any organization depends on its human resources specific cost of management to develop individual skills or a means of developing people for promotion to the next level of organizational leadership. While these views carry some validity it is rapidly becoming apparent that the development of human resources should be regarded in the large context of trends in society and the need of changing organization.

The past not much importance was attached to the role or human resource development on the growth and efficiency or organizations; no pride of place was given manpower planning and development as a safe way to enhance skills knowledge and capacities of personnel in organizations. The importance of investing in human resources has become much clear in recent years because of mounting evidences on the extent of which such investment and it live with other factors in development act an engine change.

Human resources are the most vital of all the factors have to wait. Due to the immense contributions of manpower programme the government of Nigeria has set up many institutions to help in management education in the country.
