Thesis Abstract

<p> </p><p>This research project is titled “The Role of the Public Complaints Commission</p><p>in &nbsp; Protecting &nbsp; &nbsp; Worker’s &nbsp; &nbsp; Rights &nbsp; against &nbsp; &nbsp; Administrative &nbsp; &nbsp; Injustice &nbsp; &nbsp; and</p><p>Maladministration in Nigeria”. The research work has been prompted by the</p><p>observation made on the decline in the discharge of its roles in some state</p><p>offices of the Commission, despite overall achievement of organizational</p><p>target. The main purpose of this research therefore was to find out what must</p><p>have been responsible for the decline. To achieve this, data were collected and</p><p>interview conducted. In the data collected, simple descriptive presentations in</p><p>Annual reports were consulted. In the course of this research, findings revealed</p><p>that limitations of the Act have made a negative impact on the performance of</p><p>Commission’s staff, but that the staff encounters problems while carrying out</p><p>their respective jobs. Responses also revealed that the Commission needs to</p><p>continually conduct training programmes especially on investigation, as that</p><p>will boost staff performance. &nbsp; &nbsp; Finally, the argument in this work is that,</p><p>although the PCC has recorded some achievements regarding the discharge of</p><p>its mandate from the time of its inception to date, it might not be rated high on</p><p>its score board. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; In this regard, (the researcher/study) have made</p><p>recommendations that will have far reaching significance and they are sure to</p><p>make the commission more focused, more robust and more dynamic, if they are</p><p>judiciously implemented.</p> <br><p></p>
