SHORTAGE OF SKILLED AND TRAINED MANPOWER


Some countries   do not have  sufficient supply of trained  and skilled manpower necessary for all here development  effort.  The effect of this shortage is felt  both  in the planning of development strategy and in the execution of  the plans . For instance the first development plan in Nigeria (1962-1968) did not   reflect sound planning . This obviously reflects the shortage   of planning skill in  the  country. If  the plans are not coherent and consistent the execution is bound to meet with  difficulties. Even after the  plans have been drawn it   requires  skilled and  knowledgeable men and women to execute them.


This   shortage is further seen from the fact that we do  not  have a sufficient number  of men and women of sound managerial  ability. Some   business start and soon crumble just because the proprietors have not been able to manage them well. Many  do not have  any knowledge  of what  may be called scientific management.   A country that lacks managerial skill definitely has to fight an  uphill battle in  her march to progress 

We have to realize that it is rather costly to import skills  because nations normally  try  to   avoid  their brains being  drained . In  this case   west  Africa requires   to embark upon a programme of  massive training of men  and women of high  caliber in different  skills, technical and managerial alike
