The internal and external environment of any business and non business organization, are very dynamic.
They change as time changes. For instance, there have been changes in the ways of doing things in Organizations over the years. These changes could be accounted for by advancement in science and technology, intensified patterns of completion quest for competitive advantages brought about by closer customer relationship, devolved decision-making, qualify improvement of product and services to mention just a few. This dynamic nature of organization’s environment triggered the thought of improvement in the performance of employees, to attain lofty height, our weight competitors by providing quality goods and services.

It is an indispensable part of performance of employees, to attain lofty height, our weight competitors by providing quality goods and services. In an attempt to remedy qualified staff as well as retain high caliber employees and develop a more flexible adaptable skill base to cope with the volatile market is therefore important.

It is therefore important that the need for training and development be identified and provided for. It is an indispensable part of management function relating to operational and efficiency and effectiveness. This is because an organization, which puts great emphasis on the employee’s training and development, is directly planning for its survival and steady growth. Experts have asserted that the most important and most costly resources of any organization is the human resources and costly recourses and such as is expected human resources contributed effectively to organizational objective by improved performance. Update skills and knowledge are necessary for this improved performance, the need for employee training and development could therefore be deduced from this assertion.

1.2 STATEMENTS OF THE PROBLEM
The main problem of this research project is the effect of training, and human capital development as a means of improving staff performance. Experience has shown that most staff in organization undergoes training and yet fails to perform to expected standard set by the company. In other situation, most staff that are trained are greeted with an entirely difference environment in real work situation. Also basic facilities required for the effective performance of staff after training, is lacking in most companies. Other training in content is quality but really does not match the training need for the trainee, which makes the training objectives not successful. More so, they have been cases of sending wrong staff to undergo training, such people find it very difficult to cope with the training exercise. All these are addition problem to be solved in the course of this study.
