Man power training and development is one of the most important organizational dynamics, it constitutes the pivot in which organization survival is run. The training process is one of the most pervasive methods for enhancing the productivity of individuals and communicating organizational goals to personal (Ekaterini, 2009).
Man power is the basis of all resources and it is the indispensable means of converting other resource of mankind. Somehow, we develop and employ human resources skills is fundamental in deciding how much we will accomplish as a nation.
Manpower is the pivot of every human institution. Even in the developed and industrialized nations of the world where the use of machines and technology is at an advance stage, manpower is still very essential (Comma, 2008).
Training therefore, holds the key for unlocking the potential growth and development opportunities to achieve a competitive edge.In this context, organizations train and develop their employees to the fullest advantage in order to enhance their effectiveness. (Devis and Shaik, 2012)
The importance of training as a central role of management has long been recognized by leading writers (Irene, 2013).
Training both physically, socially, intellectually and level of productivity but also the development of personnel in any organization (Olusanya et al, 2012). To manage an organization both large and small requires staffing them with competent personnel. The formal educational system does not adequately teach specific job skill for a position in a particular organization. Few employees have the requisite skill, knowledge, abilities and competencies (SKAC) needed to work.
As a result, many require extensive training to acquire the necessary SKAC to be able to make substantive contribution towards the organizational growth (Barron and Hagenty, 2001). In order to sustain economic growth and effective performance,it is important to optimize the contribution of employees to the aims and goals of the organizations.

Deficiencies in knowledge skills and ability among public personnel, particularly those of Asia, Africa and Latin America area remarkable (Bahal,, Swanson &Eanber, 1992). Training is necessary to ensure an adequate supply of staff that is technically and socially competent and capable of career development into specialist departments or management positions.
