 CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1       BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The development of any nations economy is synonymous with the development of her human’s resources. For any country to make appreciate trust in harnessing her agricultural potentials scientific and technological advancement, high quality human resources to be of high quality, through search will have to be made to recruit high quality personnel. The purpose of the recruitment function it to seek new employees to tie positions required for  the successful conduct of the work.
It is the understanding that the role and of development of any economy is reciprocated on the qualitative factor of the human resources which had promoted many nations particularly the development economics of the west to make such a staggering investment in research training and developing her labour services and human capital. It has become obvious therefore that the grouping of nations into developed and developing, technologically advanced and technological dependents of these nations qualitatively.
For a company/organization to attain appreciable growth in forms of return on investment and targets, such organization must ensure that she possess highly trained, skilled and qualitative labour force. Situations exist when two companies with the same capitalization and operations within the same environmental factors and constraints producers different records in their level of efficiency and effectiveness of goals. The prediction, which can be easily drawn from, such situation is that the qualities of human resources in companies are not the same.
The inference from the above statement become more glowing when we examine the current treating in the banking sector. The introduction of the Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) in 1976 brought in its wake-increased competition in the economy. As part of its designed effects, structural adjustment programme was concerned with brining about effective allocation of resources in the economy.
 The efficient pricing of the productive of productive resources suggest that only efficient companies will remain in business as it is only such organizations that can have efficiently allocated factors of production such as human resources. The above scenarios obviously created problems for most firms, as was evidence by spate of failed industries. The banking sector was not left out, the phenomenal distress was common even among the government owned banks, a result which has been predicted on poor capital base of such banks mainly from their inability to attract and retain efficient manpower.
            The foregone suggests that poor quality manpower weaken even the most highly capitalized company. It is bad to note that Nigerian business organizations are yet to realize the domineering influence which high quality labour force exerts on production. This ugly situation is largely manifested in the recruitment of senior management staff. The common scenario is that in which family ties and informal relationship is given privileged considerations against merit and competence. The resultant effect is that mediocre ends up been promoted through the employment of junks instead of qualitative labour.
It is of important at this juncture to note that organizational resources is made up of two resources – the Material and Human resources.
Agbo (2003) opined that the human resources is the concern of personnel management. He went further to say that personnel management deals with the bringing of a person into an organization, application of his behaviour in the work situation, his interests and relationships both with his fellow worker and the organization.
In his own contribution, Flippo (1980) defined personnel management as the planning, organizing, directly and controlling of the procurement, development, compensation, integration, maintenance and separation of human resources to the end that individual, organizational and societal objectives are accomplished.
The inability of most establishments to attract and maintain the services of senior management staff results in failure of these establishments to maintain work developments. It is even more worrisome to observe that most of these organizations lack operation personnel administrative development to carryout scientific study on senior staff questions. Efforts in this respect are sure to go a long way in ensuring qualitative manpower base for such companies.
