ABSTRACT
The research used questionnaires personal interviews and
observation during the research work.
The
research work goes to NEPA Onitsha branch and the field of study.
The questionnaire
were distributed to the staff of NEPA by the researcher and subsequently
interacted with them on Personal interview.
All data collection were grouped into references computed and arranged
in tables for easy reference. The data were presented according to the
respondents ensures based on research question.
Well also
stated in chapter one are the statement of problem the significance of the
study and questionnaires include in this chapter is the definition of terminal
reference.
Chapter
two deals with the literature review, manpower, and also deal with the
measurement of efficiency.

OF THE STUDY
1.1 PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING
Right from the unset of this world, man has
co-operatively
Organized as a group to work towards a directed goal in
a directive manner indeed the prevalence of complex bureaucracies is believed
to be the structural frame work in our recent organizations.
Against this bed the emergencies of these bureaucracy
Organization is
so unprecedented and epitomizing of the contemporary era that it is often
believed that we are living in the organizational society where people are manned
by organization (PROCTITIS 1962)
No less
important to mention is the fact these complex organizations are established
not only to find solution to given human problems but to do efficiently it is
not surprising therefore that in the new turn era, the central concern of
several classical social analysis was the issue of how man is going to organize
human society in general and more specifically his productive. Activities in
the most efficient way to achieve maximum benefits. Adam Smith (1723-1790) advocated that
Economic on industrial matters should be left in the hands of economics or
industrial elites and agents i.e. (those wast in economic affairs) He was concerned with the problem of
organizational productivity. Above all,
for max weber (1864-1920) the essence of bureaucratic organization is
efficiency. In other words, the peculiar
characteristics of bureaucracy enables men to effectively and efficiency deal
with and transform the socio-physical
environment. It is at this basic that
bureaucratic organizations are guided and pirated in man’s bid to perfect and
actualize himself through socio-economic development that any impediment to
their efficient operations should be vicised seriously. Indeed, the fact that Nigerians fought a
civil war six years after independence, followed immediately by another six
years of unprecedented oil boom in which extreme materialism took over control
of Nigeria's min’ and total soul, led to the enthronement of indiscipline, corruption and a lot contempt
for order honours and excellence within the whole society including the bureaucrat
public.
1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEMS
Bureaucratic efficiency have now posed serious concern
for
all. It distorts the smooth operation of system of
NEPA Business unit Onitsha
and adversely affects the efficient delivery of public goods and services.
The main
problem of this research therefore revolves the following question?
What is Bureaucracy?
Is the country’s socio-political climate conducive for
revise, sound and efficiency public bureaucracy?
Has the government of Nigeria made any serious efforts
towards fracing and eradication of Bureaucratic inefficiency in her public
administration?
To what extent does the reform exercise yielded positive
result?
Could it be possible for Nigerian’s public
administration or public enterprise to service without bureaucratic
inefficiency?
1.3 PURPOSE OF STUDY
This research is aimed at finding out the extent to
which bureaucratic efficiency have undermined the smooth effective wand
efficient – operation of Nigeria Public Administration, to identifying, examine
and analyzing these valuables visa-via their remote causes in the country’s
public services administration. It is
equally the purpose of this research work to make a well articulated
recommendation that will go a lory way in helping to ensure sanity in our
public service with a view to achieving efficiency and increase productivity at
this research is timely at this time to readiness the Eric bureaucratic in
efficiency have inflicted in out public enterprise basis and the quest to
establish a solid, dependable, sound and efficient public
administration/bureaucracy that several alternative system of public
administration were imported ranging from British model to American models, but
it has been discovered that both cannot even relatively and effectively solve
the Nigeria problems of bureaucratic inefficiency, collapse in her public
corporations etc.
Besides, various regimes of government in Nigeria have at
one time or the other evoked and evolved
radical measures to carping and transforming NEPA administrative
bureaucracy. First was in early sixty’s military
bureaucracy however plunged the country into about 30 months of civil war and
aggravated much more problems rather than proffering any solution. The after effect of the civil war, after six
years of independence was preceded by civil boom, which brought a lot of
misname to the public corporation (NEPA) and the public policy. The Udoji
public service review commission which awarded salary to public servants was
counter productive. No wonder the result
of this exercise militated the 1995 General Murtala Mohamed’s great purge in
the public service of Nigeria. This president General Babangida described at
the memorial lecture held in honour of the late Murtala as a man with the
vision of an ordered society. But these
noble reforms led to the ethnic bias and squandameneir 0of Obasanjo and Shangri
regime.
Albair, Buhari cumldiagbon Regina attempted drastic
reforms exercise, but their result were aborted and stiffed civil servants
hence this assertion by Buhari that this generation of Nigeria and in need
future generations have no other place but Nigeria and there for must put all hand on desk to salvage it president Babangida
is government with a credit of eight years in power battled with various
reforms evident among this ranged from the enlargement of public bureaucracies
by the creation of eleven additional state from already exist nineteen totaling
thirty states an about six hundred and eight nine local government. In
addition, the regime implement reforms granite antonym to the local govern to
the local government and decentralized the public bureaucracies.
However, this laudable and palatable achievement was
clashed by the introduction of the structural adjustment programme (SAP) which
drafted the economy of the country to it kneed and to the noel. The effect of
this programme brought about piles of socio-cultural and political problem to
the society including the public bureaucracy. The after math o f this programme
accounted for more bureaucratic problems then the country bureaucratic problems
than the country had ever recorded. Consequent upon this, they were high rate
of corruption, both in public and civil private lines, indiscipline, trained
inefficiency who do you know inefficiency who do you know syndrome (IM)
mismanagement just to mention but a few.
The present Abubakar regime had not introduced any new
measure rather it has been drying to put things in its proper position which
the last regime count do (Abacha regimes) rather the last regime had been consolidating on the fairs as loans
of the previous programmes. Professor Ademolelcun sumed it up when he remarked
that from the tine party government were established in 1954 to their
disappearance in January 1966, corrupt practices assumed proportions that were formately unknown
supportive this assertion he quoted that,
the absence of political parties under military rule did not bring about
a permanent reduction in the level of corruption the disappearance of corruption practices directly connected to
political patronage and party finance were
replaced by dramatic increase in the incidence of individual corruption.

spectrum book Ltd 1986) p.p. 162.
