CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Unemployment has been and still a major problem in Oji-River Local Government Area of Enugu State. A study recently carried out by researchers showed that about 80% of the labour forces in the local government are unemployed. This labour force are made up of area youths and young school leavers whose number in the labour market is on the increase yearly because of the high rate of people graduating from both the secondary and tertiary institution. Some of them who are employed solely depend on the government and a greater percentage of them engage for non-existent, non-government organization or corporate bodies for their unshed labour. In any enterprises, wheather profit or nonprofit making organization, the basic method of paying an employee of his labour has been by wages and salaries for each unit of time spent on his job. According toByrness and Stone (1981:147), “they said that people are only unemployed when they are unable to work and would be willing to accept a prevailing wage paid to people that posed the skill they have but either cannot find or have not yet joined suited employment” Byrness believed that a person employed into an organization when he has a required skilled to sell to an employer who is willing to buy his skill for a wage. The problem of unemployment can be only reduced if the already existing establishment within Oji-Rivers local government Area are effectively managed. Some of the resources are as follows;
- School of Health
- Hems biscuit industry.
- Thermal power situations.
- Police college etc.
The first problem that confronts the young job seeker is that he seek hope on getting mainly administrative jobs which with the changing economic trend and high labour cost become very expensive for the employer who will prefer to improve the skill of his staff or computerize his company thereby reducing labour cost and maximizing his profit. when this become unemployed with little or no hope of getting employment because of the changing trends, modernization and technological development of labour management based on this short fall in employment becomes a problem.
One the way to improve employment is through the effective management of human and material resources in an establishment.
Effective management resource in an establishment in Oji-River Local Government area will encourage specialization and division of labour, which means that more people will be needed to perform the certain functions constantly, they will also be encouraged to exhibit the dexterity in certain skill so as to perform the tasks more effectively at a higher rate of output so as to meet the demand of their customers by their specialization, is encouraged as opposed to the use of computers which needs few people to feed information into them. Effective management of scare resources in Oji-River Local Government Area will assist in reducingunemployment and the dependent on Government corporate bodies as the last hope of job seeker for engaging income generating ventures.
As a matter of facts, this will help to add smile on the face of job opportunities like school leavers, who will be assured that they can be gainfully engaged and acquire proficiency in desire skills through their engagement in profitable of any establishment.
The effective management of resources in Oji- River Local Government Area will not doubt eradicate or reduce the social outery about the penetrated by the employed people who as a matter of fact constitute a social menace to the society. Some of the soil toilers and moilers will however be employed by these establishment both rural and urban area.

The common task facing developing and wider developed nation today, including Nigeria, is the development of rural area. Development at the rural or communities means an improvement or advancement in the socio-economic, political and cultural life style of people. In most rural communities including Oji-River local government area, there is insignificant provision of basic human needs like Hospital, pipe-brone water, tarred and motorable roads, schools market, industries etc, by the government. This attitude on the part of government creates an impression in the minds of people that they are not part of the body politics.
Consequently, the people rely on what they can afford to feed for themselves. It is that quest for self-reliance that leads to initiation of community development project of community, development projects by non-government organizations.
The problem of non-development of rural area spread all state of Nigeria but in more pronounced in Oji-River local government area, which is my area of study. In this community, there is objective neglect of provision of these facilities by government. Developmental organization like Town Union, Churches, Age Grade, Social Clubs etc. with little or no contribution from government.
This study will attempt at identifying the nature and scope of establishment projects undertaken by government and non government organization in Oji-River local government area.

This was due to high schedule at the school academic programme.
Secondly, it was not easy for the researcher to get vital information from the state as they were term confidential and some of the employees may consider the whole exercise as wasting of energy.
Finally, the problem caused by inadequate fund for the research work cannot be over emphasized, because the researcher would have to carry out the research in entire (17) local government area in Enugu state but for constraint factors e.g. infrastructural facilities, lack of finance for transportation it is impossible.
