Summary
The management of human resources occupies a fundamental position in any Public Establishment. If organization objectives and excellence must be achieved, the crucial role and importance of the people that constitute the organization must be given a pride of place. It is this recognition that has attracted the attention of several scholars to the field of Human Resources Development (Okoh, 2015). Manpower Planning and Crises Management cannot be underated in any Public Sector. Training and development are interrelated process whose importance cannot be over emphasized in any strategic human resource management and employees productivity in any public sector. As a result of this lackadaisical attitude of management towards training and manpower development, there has been a progressive decline in the ability of manpower to cope with the challenges that attend the ever unfolding new dispensation in the public sector
