INTRODUCTION Development of human resources plays a tremendous role in prompting valuable programs for people's needs in the community. Tolulope (2016) stated that training in manpower increases workers ' better understanding, making them strong and knowledgeable about what they are doing, increasing job satisfaction and rising employee turnover. Thus, Obisi (2011) discovered that organizations, by not planning and equipping their trainees before, during and after a training program, show poor attitude towards training administration. Further, Adele and Ibietan (2017) concluded that the process of political governance and policy (especially the phase of budgeting) was not fair to education and training in the workforce. Olaniyan and Ojo (2008) concluded that training decreases the work of the manager in terms of close supervision and also increases the motivation, effort and quality of the work of the staff, thus enabling them to be more committed to achieving the organization's goals and objectives and this has a potential to increase the productivity of the organization's workforce.
Bature and Mustapha (2013) recommended that the management will promote staff training at all levels and also vote a reasonable amount for the training and development of manpower. Encapsulated in the title is the researcher's desire to clarify the definitive role of a public administrator. Furthermore, the researcher hopes to determine if there is a relevant interplay between the latter's management cum leadership style and skillful manipulation of the budget.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK According to Okotoni and Erero (2005), training and development helps ensure that members of the organization have the knowledge and skills they need to successfully perform their jobs, take on new roles and adapt to changing circumstances. Nwaeke and Obiekwe (2017) concluded that an organization that does not train and develop its workforce, or that puts little emphasis on it, is promoting employees' obsolescence and inflexibility. Further, Ologunowa et al. (2015) concluded that the appropriate and efficient preparation of the bulk of any organization's labor force is greatly needed to enable it to accomplish a defined goal with optimum efficiency and effectiveness.
