Abstract
The paper examines the role of ICT in achieving effective manpower training in Nigeria’s public sector. It is a qualitative paper that relied on secondary data which were textually and descriptively analysed. The historical approach to the empirical review on manpower training in Nigeria’s public bureaucracy revealed some reforms and attempts at remedying the challenges to manpower training. The application of Human Capital and Scientific Management theories illuminated the discourse. Notable impediments to manpower training in Nigeria’s public sector are bureaucratic lapses in the identification of training needs; obsolete or poor strategies/approaches to manpower training; and limited appreciation of the role of ICT in achieving robust training outcomes. The paper discussed four ICT-driven learning techniques and suggested the utilisation of competent ICT professionals in manpower training (among others) as bulwark to the deficiencies identified.
