DATA PRESENTATION AND ANALYSIS
Bibliography
The study is concerned with the impact of manpower training and development in the oil industry in Nigeria in order that the reader or supervisor may be in a position to fully appreciate the significance and impact of this study, an idea of the oil industry is needed including its constituted forms and possibly its economic importance to the Nigeria economy.
One thing to note is that oil in this context of study means crude oil therefore the firm considered on in this study are the exploration and production forms.
The backgrounds of this study portrays the need for training and developing new employees or staffs who are being promoted as self evident to the organization. The manpower training and development is more effective when there is additional training for effective performance. It is used to donate and teaching of the technical skills.
Lack of skilled manpower training and development has always been given as the reason for our failure to realize the objective of our national development plans in private sector the power of economy was developed rapidly as the industrial and commercial organization spreading up all over the country. Therefore, it the nation was to progress, it must plan for its future manpower training and development.
The oil industry is comparatively young in this country Nigeria. Oil came into the limelight after the Nigeria independence in (1960) Oladum (1986:18) has proved a concise historical account of the evaluation of the oil industry in Nigeria this can be summarized as follows:
The research for oil in Nigeria dates back to 1903 when mmenalogical studies started following the discovery of crude oil. Some 300 kilometers east of Lagos. A Germany company named “Bitumen Corporation obtained license form the government in 1908 to exploit the deposition of oil, unfortunately the pioneer efforts did not yield any fruitful results.
Two decades laters, another company called shell B.P. Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria resumed exploration activities after intensive co-physical and geological reconnaissance studies of the Delta area, the company in 1956 Lit on deposits in commercial quantities in Olobori in 1958, shell B.P started production at a rate of 5,100 barrels per day which was double by 1959.
The success of shell B.P encouraged other companies to join in the search for crude oil by 1961: Mobil, GUIF, ELF, AGRIP TEXACO has joined in the search for mineral deposits both on shore and offshore with considerable success.
Most often, much has been said and written about how seriously the oil companies carries out training and staff development activities. These companies have various training and staff development programmes both within the country and over-seas. This is because the companies pursuit various level of training and development to provide solution to social and economic challenges confronting oil Industries in Nigeria for better standard of living.
There is however, a problem associated with this concept of training and staff development in the oil industry. It is the absence of an empirically derived assessment of the effectiveness or otherwise of training and manpower development effects in the oil industry in Nigeria. The direct impact of the problem is that without a scientifically based empirical appraisal of the system of training and development in the oil industry, effectiveness and efficiency cannot be measured..
In trying to identify the impact of manpower training and development ,we have focused attention on the following areas;
1. To determine if this training performance is effective to the oil companies and in promoted human learning .
To determine if the training and development can be identified through performance appraisal, organizational analysis and survey of personnel.
To formulate and administered plans, delegation and controlling when necessary and disconcerting and solving day problems of the staffs or train
Finally, to recognize their objectives and putting them in order of importance
SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY
In view of this study, there are different categories of people that can benefit from this research study they are the organization, employer/ employee and the society. It is expected that this study will provide more information to the society and organization about the impact of manpower training and development is all about and to be able to see it’s effects in our organization thereby decides on whether manpower training and development are applicable in the organization.
