Abstract

The development of any nation depends to a large extent on her manpower. In actual fact, manpower is the driving force of a nation’s social and economic development. This study therefore investigated the impact of skill acquisition in Office Technology and Management (OTM) on the national and manpower development. The study was carried out in Ogun State of Nigeria. In carrying out the study, three research questions were generated from which the questionnaire used to gather data was developed. Two hundred (200) Office Managers (Secretaries) were selected from five tertiary institutions in Ogun State using simple random sampling technique. Also, two hundred copies of the questionnaire were produced and administered on the selected respondents. However, out of the number administered, one hundred and eighty (180) copies were filled and returned. The data collected was analysed using mean method. The study concluded that skill acquisition in Office Technology and Management is a cornerstone for national and manpower development. It was recommended that management of every organization should employ Office Managers who had been trained to man offices so as to achieve set goals and objectives.
