Abstract:Describes manpower training in the colonial and post-colonial period, in order to show the relationship between educational evelopment and the growth of the labour market. After a description of manpower training in the colonial times, the author analyses the situation after 1960, a period of unprecedented expansion in educational facilities throughout the country. Apart from the north, there is at the monent an oversupply of trained power. Perhaps a temporary solution to this problem will be found in the proposed policy of the Federal Military Government that all university graduates will compulsority serve in rural areas and engage in rural projects as assigned by state-appointed co-ordinators for a period of one year before they could qualify to look for jobs in the open market.
