The Nigerian Railway Corporation is one of the many corporations owned
fully and controlled by the Government of Nigeria. Hence, it is a public
corporation, which is meant to provide adequate transportation through
the rail system for the growing population of the country, to assist the
commercial growth by carrying goods from the interiors to the urban
cities. The Nigerian Railway Corporation can be traced back to the early
colonial masters who ruled the country. The corporation was set up for
profit purposes or social benefits of the population. A study into the
Nigerian Railway Corporation shows a lot of irregularities. The
organization has put in more efforts to improve its services both to
workers and customers.

stressed on the impact of modern technology on their secretaries. The
services of the secretarial profession are utilized by various
organizations. Those in the secretarial profession work directly with
the management of these organizations as support staff and they help in
realizing effectively the missions and objectives of the organizations.
Most of these objectives are geared towards resource management, which
shows in the production, distribution and utilization of goods and
services.

point is the prospect of the secretarial profession. In view of all
these facts, the problems and prospects of the secretarial profession in
these selected establishments are critically investigated in this
study.
