Definition of Personnel Management

Personnel Management is a part of management that deals with the recruitment, hiring, staffing, development and compensation of the workforce and their relation with the organization in order to achieve the organizational objectives. The main functions of the personnel management are divided  into two categories:

• Operative Functions: The activities that are concerned with procurement, development, compensation, job evaluation, employee welfare, utilization, maintenance and collective bargaining.
• Managerial Function: Planning, Organizing, Directing, Motivation, Control and Coordination are the basic managerial activities performed by Personnel Management.

From the last two decades, as the development in technology has taken place and the humans are replaced by machines. Similarly, this branch of management has also been superseded by Human Resource Management.

Why Nigerian Universities Rank Low

From: VanguardNgr

 At the combined 19th and 22nd Convocation Ceremony of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi in January this year, President Muhammadu Buhari lamented the low ranking of Nigerian universities in Africa and the world. The expectedly concerned President expressed his dismay in the following words: “We rank below a thousand, if we do not aspire to be among the world class universities, we cannot boast of robust system capable of making the country among the top economies of the world. It is worrisome that no Nigerian university is among the top 100 universities in the world’’.

 
Represented by Professor Julius Okojie, the Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC), President Buhari said whatever makes the nation’s abundant talents to fail at home but excel abroad must be identified and neutralized for the benefits of the present and future generations of Nigerians. He identified the incessant strikes by university teachers as a major bottleneck to the progress of the country’s university system. All the President said about the Nigerian university system is not new.

Leicester striker Vardy gets top award

Leicester City forward Jamie Vardy has been voted the 2016 Footballer of the Year by the Football Writers’ Association (FWA), it was announced Monday.


The 29-year-old striker took the award as a clear winner ahead of team-mates Riyad Mahrez, who had already taken the Player of the Year award voted on by his fellow professionals, and N’Golo Kante. Vardy has scored 24 goals for club and country so far this season as the Foxes close in on what would be a remarkable Premier League title triumph.

Leicester city proves you do not have to play the Barca way to be successful

HARRY REDKNAPP

 If this season threatens to prove anything, it’s that teams can be successful without always trying to dominate the ball. Leicester City have the lowest passing accuracy in the Premier League and are third bottom when it comes to possession but after Sunday's thrilling draw at Old Trafford they’ll clinch the title if my old club Spurs fail to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Monday night. But it’s not just Leicester.
 Atletico Madrid’s possession rates are relatively low for a top side but they could end up winning both La Liga and the Champions League this season. In the Championship, Burnley could get promoted back to the top flight on Monday and you won’t see them hogging the ball. Those three teams may differ in ability but they have something in common and it’s at odds with the possession based model that I think we’ve got carried away with at times simply because of what Barcelona have achieved.
Leicester and the others have helped to remind people that there’s another very effective way of winning. It’s all very well people looking at Barcelona and saying, ‘Wow, we’ve got to play like this’ but it’s very difficult when you haven’t got forwards of the calibre they have, when you haven’t got a Messi or Suarez or Neymar conjuring their magic.

 I think there’s a danger that we’ve got hung up on pass, pass, pass but you’ve got to go somewhere, there’s got to be an end product to that passing. Unless you’ve got somebody who can pick the ball up and suddenly do something special, you’re just going to have a packed defence in front of you with nowhere to go and no one with the ability to unlock them. To play a possession based game well, you have to have a player or two who has that individual brilliance to beat a man, to suddenly open the door. I’ve always loved to have players like that in my sides but they’re not easy to find. Suddenly Barcelona rule football,

A LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT BY: THANK-GOD EBOH

Dear President Buhari,

I couldn't post the other letter that I wrote to you because the Nipost staff couldn't help with an address. Plus the fact that their scary disposition frightened me to the bones. I stepped out and then threw the letter to the wind to help me deliver it as the characters in our moonlight tales would do. I'm not sure you got it.

From the Campus Events Media Team, happy new month!!!!

Sitting here this morning,many things running through my mind, and i'm wondering "for real, we're entering into the 2nd quarter of 2016". I try to define "purpose" I truly believe that everything that we do and everyone that we meet is put in our path for a purpose.
 There are no accidents; we're all teachers - if we're willing to pay attention to the lessons we learn, trust our positive instincts and not be afraid to take risks or wait for some miracle to come knocking at our door.

some believe that The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others, but what do you believe is your purpose on earth?
