The Centre for Management Development CMD had said it would soon clamp down on management development institutions and consultants who have not registered with the government.
Director General of the Centre, Mr Kabir Kabo Usman told journalist in Abuja that only 48 registered institutions and 200 management development consultants across the country are qualified to build man power capacity for Nigeria’s public and private sector.
Mr Usman also said that the centre would soon embark on a nationwide tour of Management Development Institutions MDI and consultants with a view to giving further accreditation to qualified institutions and individual, while flushing out quacks from the market.
The CMD is a government parastatal under the Ministry of National Planning, created to provide managerial and technical capacity and training for Civil Servants since 1973.
He added that in line with the government’s decision to restrict oversea training for civil servants, the centre would strengthen indigenous management training institutions and consultants as well as flushing out impostors from the market.
Following this, there is however mixed feelings among technical and management development experts on the decision of the government to restrict oversea training for staff.
The Federal Government spends about 16 million dollars each year for oversea training of staff.
