1.1 Background Of The Study

At this time like this when nations increasingly depend on administration for the development of their economics, the role of administration has become increasingly important. In this circumstance and to life with the needs of man, for this role of public administration in development of Nigeria as such, a fund of factual knowledge, and techniques are presented here in.

To our way of thinking, the distinguishing contribution of an administrator is the ability to work effectively with others and to help them contribute individually and to work effectively as a group in performing a collective task. “Generally” the distinguishing role of public administration is to provide leadership in getting done of the work required for the development of Nigeria.

This calls for, among other things, ability to think and act responsibly, to perceive and respond to environmental realities to understand, human feelings and thoughts and organizational relationships, to express in words and action, purpose and values that are meaningful to the development of Nigeria and a capacity on his own part to work with satisfaction within the country. We conceive administration as being confronted with and as being part of a constantly changing situation, situations which although they may resemble others in generic ways, are always unique in their particularities.

It is based on this important note that the topic: the role of public administration a tool for effective, efficient development in Nigeria’ with particular reference to Ngor Okpala Local Government Area Imo State.

1.2 Statement Of The Problem

The administration of most countries in the world today having been facing the problem of not knowing how they could achieve the objectives of their nation in face of the changing world, so that development can take place.

This problem, which has keep many countries stagnant due to lack of administration as effective means of development is which the researcher aimed at solving. Furthermore the researcher noted some certain factors that can hinder or restricted development of nation or public co-operation: such as : poor management and corruption in Nigeria: we poorly managed. Worst of it, there is a lot of embezzlement, squander man’s and nepotism. Public corporations funds re misused.

Secondly, poor staffing: There is lack of experienced and qualified staff in the public corporation. This lead to poor planning and mismanagement of human and material resources of a nation.

Thirdly, financial problem: public corporation do not have adequate money that will be used in carrying out most of their project and programmes. The employee will also embezzle the small money they have.

Public administration and its significant rile in Nigeria proffers solution as administrative tools or tools and requirement for effective development, policy planning: In the first place. A plan can be viewed as a set of highly articulated techniques, strategies and goals designed to solve social, political or economic problems of a nation for any government cooperation, organization that adopts planning as an integral part of its operation is a progressive administration. Planning as a administration, stimulate administrative initiative and create ad administrative milden of predictability.

Another is leadership as administrative tool in this view effective leadership is important in good administration be it as oil company, a school or any type of organization. Many corporation and nations are drifting because of poor leadership. This is why corporations, organization pump in million of naira per year into leadership trading of managers and educative.

The researcher also noted budget as an administrative tool; Budget outs together plans of anticipated revenue and a proposal on how to expand it. It caries along with it, a schedule of the activities to be undertaken within the period and means of financing such activities. When the activities to be carried out are matched with anticipated revenue, the provide a tool, which will be helpful in the execution of the function and services of the organization, be it government or private.

A budget is the most important simple document relating to the social and economic affaires of the people.

5.0 Summary, Conclusion and Recommendation

5.1 Introduction

The main purpose of this study is to discover the role of public administration in the development of Nigeria, a case study of Ngor Okpala Local Government Imo State.

With this in mind, this study was divided into five (5) chapters with each chapter being organized in different headings and sub-headings.

Chapter one of this research work includes the background of study, objectives of the study, definition of terms and closes with the scope problem and limitations of the study.

Chapter two (2) deals with the review of related works and literature with the people view in order to provide background to the study. Here, the achievement and projects executed through the administration of the traditional political institutions in nation building in Nigeria were featured.

Also the legislative, judicial and executive (administrative) roles of the traditional political institutions were examined.

The third chapter of the academic work centers on the research methodology and design of the study. Also the procedures and instruments for study were discussed.

The fourth and the last chapter covers the presentation and analysis of the collected date.

5.2 Summary of Findings

The researcher’s findings are summarized and highlighted in the following principal findings from the study.

1. Traditional political institutions contribute immensely in the national income increase also in the provision of education and infrastructure all geared efforts towards nation building in Nigeria.
2. Education and other social enlightenment campaigns are carried and also sponsor for the political orientation and socialization of the people on the basis of the contemporary political culture.
3. Generally, traditional political institutions initiate execute some projects and also mobilizes the local, human and material resources in order to maximize their welfare and nation building.

5.3 Conclusion

Based on the findings of this study, as recorded in the chapters, to know the significant role of public administration in the development of Nigeria with a particular reference to Ngor Okpala Local Government Area Imo State. Base on the findings: the role of institutionalized functions of the traditional political instructions.

The traditional institution have achieve immensely in the provision of social amenities and infrastructure facilities and this have the effect of promoting the people of Ngor Okpala and the nation at large.

Secondly, was an effective traditional political institution enhances a quantitative development in the side of peaceful co-existence of the people in the security of life and property and in building the nation

Thirdly, the political classes enhance the efficient mobilization and co-ordination of the local human and non-human endowments in the attainment of the betterments in the nation. However, despite all the difficulties encountered by the researcher in the course of study, one must say that the exercise has been an interesting one, very educative and revealing to practicing administration, managers, students of Public and Business Administration and Management, governments, industrialists, and individuals on the role of public administration should be a great use for development. But in all men are not angels; or angels governing men, and of the same time public administration should be functional to guard against the evil of tyranny and dictation operation of the political class.

It is because of this that Aristotle said and quotes. (Government) the state should not be ruled by man but by law “for this the definition of the roles and functions of the implementation power of public administration should not be treated with a wave of the hand. Any regime wants to achieve the end of law and order in Nigeria.

Also believe the Nigeria is not yet democratic polity, but is still trudging or the part of transition. The government of the day does not give public administration a breeding space in the scheme the things.

One philosopher sap “power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely in the society he power of the political class is absolute that the anonymity of the administrators is beyond extremity.

Rather they should work in harmony to enhance a good separation of powers and the constitutional checks and balances.

I then write in favor of constitutionalism and the grand principle of the rule of law. So that the functional roles of public administration as contained in this academic work will not just be mere proposals and paper works but a guide to realization of the common good of the common man in Nigeria, or come the dawn of the republic of Biafra which I know one day shall come to pass, because I am involved.

5.4 Recommendation

Based on the findings of the study the following recommendations were made.

1. Traditional political instruction should not relent in their efforts in the provision of some amenities and infrastructure that fosters development and nation building attitudes.
2. Private individuals and organizations should emulate the work of the traditional political institutions, while the government and related governmental agencies to give supportive efforts for building of the nation.
3. The efforts and role of the institutionalized functions of the traditional political institutions should be recognized by the government in order to motivate the.
4. Finally, distinguishing the contribution of administrators managers of government bodies to ensure the ability to work effectively with others and to help them contribution individually and to work effectively as a group in performing a collective task.
