CRISIS MANAGEMENT IN THE NIGERIAN LOCAL GOVERNMENT SYSTEM (A CASE STUDY OF ANAMBRA EAST LOCAL GOVERNMENT, NTEJE)

ABSTRACT This research work is primarily aimed at examining the problems of crisis management in the Nigeria Local Government Administration council, Anambra state, was used as a case study. The need for this research work arouse from the fact that, without properly managing the crisis that usually develop in the Local Government Administration, the goals of setting up local government areas (which aimed at bringing government to social amenities) may not be achieved even partly. To achieve the above objectives, data was collected through the use of questionnaires. From the analysis of data collected, it was discovered among other things that lack of adequate manpower training to understand the dynamics of crisis contributes to poor management of Crisis in Local Government administration in Nigeria. We therefore recommend among other things that qualified staff be trained and developed through the organization of regular workshops and seminars. This will help them to be up to data in a modern crises management.                         TABLE OF CONTENT Title page  --------------------------------------------------i  Certification page-------------------------------------------ii  Dedication---------------------------------------------------iii Acknowledgement--------------------------------------------iv Abstract -----------------------------------------------------v-vi Table of content   ------------------------------------------vii-ix List of table--------------------------------------------------x-xi
