1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The
containing economic depression which Nigeria has been passing through
for some years now has compelled citizens, industrial and business
establishment big and small to take for reaching measures in the
struggle for survival the economic depression such as:-
1. The difficult and stringent conditionality, which Nigeria government must, met before a IMF loan is given.
2. delay in passing the budget estimate in Nigeria.
3. delay in given subvention to parastatal.
The successive disengagement exercises currently taking place in Nigeria public service poses Economic and social problems.
According
to Websters winth new collegiate dictionary (1983:1007) Retrenchment is
the act of cutting down expenses live more cheaply.
While
disengagement means to the (oneselt) from an engagment, to reduce amount
of curtail expenses in order to elenomize, it could also be seen as the
act of terminating the services of a worker, when the job ceases to
exist, usually as a result of technology, political or economic changes.
Disengagement, which is a recent-phenomenon in the history of public
services in Nigeria started in the middle 70’s by then military Head of
state as a result of economic recession during the period.
According
to Adebayo (1994:113) there was a general purge (in 1975) of the public
services in which though the intention was lauclable, the execution left
much to be desired. The good were thrown, out with the bad. Those who
survived the hole cast were told that their advice would be sought it
and when need and that their main task was to carry out orders handed
down to them.
It may not be an overstatement to say that most
developing countries of the world including Nigeria has been going
through a recession, but nevertheless the Nigeria case has been a very
peculiar situation because it has resulted in many people losing their
job. This could be seen in an editoral, agory of Retrenchment, by Agbese
(1985:6-7) where in federal radio corporation of Nigeria Enugu zone,

organization objectives.
This research work will therefore proceed
pragmatically on the above theory Y, taking cognizance of the fact that,
no one suffering from a feeling o fear and depression can be expected
to be efficient at his work (Adebayo 1994:115).
