Where
n = Desired sample size
n = Total population

4.2 FINDINGS
This work will be of immense benefit to Ebonyi state university
and all the component devilment centres. Manpower development and training is
inevitable for any organization be it small, medium or large scale and even
university ministries and parastatals. Human resources must be in the right
number so as to avoid redundancies among the existing ones in the ministries.
All activities of the state university should be initiated and determined by
the persons who make up those institutes. The research has found out that
Ebonyi state university organized on the job- training to her worker but that
most time the chairman, being faced by political members. Besides that, the
researcher all deduced that some of the little entitlement that are usually
meant for the workers after training is been looted siphoned by some of the top
ranked officers in the Ebonyi state university. Nevertheless, it is based on
this no challenge attitude of the heads in the payment of the training
allowances they make some of works not to values going to work shop, seminars,
symposia and the like.
