CHAPTER ONE


Introduction

1.1 Background Of The Study

Production both private and public organization is simply the Interrelationship between input and output.

Inputs are resources such as labour materials and work done products distributed or services rendered.

In Nigeria, works have been exercising some or certain problems that have been militating against productivity level which has completely affected the gross domestic product of the nation

The government is trying to see that productivity maintains an impressive level, the ministry of labour and productivity. National productivity center etc. are doing everything to alleviate the problems of low productivity of the Nigeria workers.

In view of these one may ask why the Nigerian worker is still faced with the problem of low productivity, inspire of all the government efforts to improve productivity.

Briefly we take short history of NEPA which is a service organization in viewing the general Nigeria workers.

Electricity development in Nigeria started towards the end of the 19th century, when the first generating plant was installed in the city of Lagos in 1898. Later, other electricity undertakings were set up by the native and municipal authorities in different part of the country. In 1950, in order to integrate power development in the country and make it effective, the federal government passed the electricity corporation of Nigeria ordinance No.15 of 1950. This ordinance brought under one umbrella all the electricity undertakings owned and controlled by the native and municipal authorities under the public works department

The electricity corporation of Nigeria (ECN) became the statutory body responsible for generating transmitting, distributing and sales of electricity to all customers in Nigeria.

By Decree No.24 of 27th June, 1972, the electricity corporation of Nigeria (ECN) and Niger Dams Authority (NDA) were merged by the Federal Government to become the National Electricity Power Authority. Power generation in Nigeria started with a humble but steady beginning with only the Ijors, Delta, Egbin, sapele, Afan thermel power stations, Kainji Jebba and Shiroro Hydro power station, with the generation capacity increased from 20mw to over 6,000mw in the year 2002


1.2 Statement Of The Problem

Research has been carried out in Nigeria; regrettably not much has been done in the way of solving the problem facing the Nigeria workers.

This has been detrimental to the increase of productivity which will contribute to the development of nation like Nigeria. In order to increase productivity among the workers in Nigeria with the help of NEPA as a guide the following bottleneck were observed.

  1. The fear of Job security among workers.
  2. The workers should be assumed of their jobs.
  3. The motivational tool and incentives were not properly provided to the workers that will make them to put in their best.
  4. The job evaluation system has been carried out in an unfair manner
  5. Lack of programmes provision for developing staff made many junior staff undertake personal training at the detriment of the employers.
