1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Ideato North Local Government council was created on 28th
June 1991 out of Ideato local government (now Ideato North). It comprise
of Nine autonomous communities such as Uruala Osina, Akpula,
Isi okwe and Umualaoma, Arondizuogu, Ndi uche ndi Amazi Ndi Okoro.
As a new Local Government, Ideato-North Local government had It’s first
election in 1991 which was won by Hon Sunday Ogbonorji under the umbrella
of social Democratic party (SDP) during this period, before
the annulment of the 1993 presidential election, Sunday Obguorji employed 75
workers in the local government council of Ideato North.
After Ogbunorji regime,
Mrs Grace Okoro was made the care taker chairman and she led up to two
years.
In 1996,Abacha started
his transitioned to civil rules and organized zero
party election which brought in Hon. Chukwudozie Onuekwma as the
executive chairman from 1996-1977. In this same 1997, five (5) political
parties were formed by Abacha regime which brought in Barrister Irem Livinus
under the shade of National center party (NCP) he stayed only one year
because of Abacha’s death in 1998. Hon Nweke was appointed as the
transition chairman
After the death of
Abacha, Abdusalami Abubakar took over and handed over to civilian within or
after 9 months as he promised. After that, three (3) political parties
were formed and Ideato north local government council was led by
people’s Democratic party (PDP).Hon Okoro uduma as the chairman from 199-2003.,
After that, uchenna Chukwu was appointed as the caretaker

Under the platform of people Democratic party (PDP). After his tenure,

council by Eluka Chigozie who is still the chairman till date.
With the above

As listed above, they had their respective way of leadership styles,
which contributed both the growth and downfall of I’deato north local
government council’s social; and economic development.
In I’deato north local
government council, since its birth, the government of different regimes has
ceaselessly fashioned out one policy or the other as well as programmers
tailored toward uplifting the standard of the living of the people as well
welfare through policies in education, labour, health, employment and human
development made by, federal government. But due to different styles of
leadership, the aim of some programmes and policies were achieved and some were
not achieved.
Some of the programmers that could not be achieved are: health policy,
human development and employment.
Health, which is defined by
world health organization (who) as a state of complete physical, mental and
social well been and not merely the absence of diseases or infirmity. This
could not be achieved because of nepotism using people who are not qualified to
carry out such technical programme like immunization and giving injection to
babies of under age and this is as a result of mismanagement of personnel and
due to biased leader.
Human development due to
laissez faire leadership style, and corruptive nature of leaders, they could
not bring out money to train their manpower to meet up with the changing
technology, so, it make’s the local government council to lack adequate
manpower.
Employment, in some regimes,
due to laissez faire leadership style and corruption nature of some leaders,
they could not bring out money to train their man power to meet up with the
changing technology, so it makes the local government council to lack adequate
resources.
Human development due to non-utilization of human resource or more
correctly, that part of labour force which is available, capable and willing of
productive employment, they give or offer employment under who knows or you
from whose hand and this brings red-tapism and inefficiency because this is a
situation where the merited one’s are employed rather than those who are not
qualified because of nepotism or tribalism.
The major cause of them not being able to achieve some of the policies
or program is because of the type of leadership style they adopted. They
adopted laissez faire system of leadership style, which means that there is
freedom of choice as to what the member’s of the group would do. It presupposes
that every member is mature and knows what to do and would do so even without
being asked to do so. In this style, there are few rules and regulation in the
hierarchy of authority.
The workers do work without
any directive or procedure. The leader is essential tolerant, a mere figolhead
and this is why they could employ without checkmating the employees to know
whether they are productive or not.
This type of leadership
increase red-tapism ghost workers and other nasty activities that could spoil
some good efforts few people will be making.
Ideato north local government
council is 19 years old and has been led or ruled by 6 local government
chairman, they have done so much especially in the side of education. Education
being conceived as the most important direct means of upgrading the human
intellect and skills for productive engagement
Ideato (now Ideato North)
local government council is blessed with fertile soil, they are among the
producing product such as cassava, garri in the state which is called cassava,
garri, yam in quantity and this helps the parent to take care of their children
on school.
The habitants of ideato north
were not well known scholars before or traders or government workers rather
their major occupation was farming but now they have many graduates,
barristers, chief judges etc. but still it needs proper management of resources
so as to bring farm mechanize their farming system in order to increase
productivity and ensure efficiency
Below is the organi-gramme of ideato north local government council.
There are total of 368 workers in Ideato local government council. 28
management members and 40 senior staff, 35 middle management or supervisory and
265 junior staff.
1.2 THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
The researcher takes his theoretical framework from the perspective on
types of leadership and how it affects the employee’s performance.
Akanwa(1998) view leadership
as a process of influence on a group in a particular situation, at a given
point in time and in a specific set of circumstance that stimulate people to
strive willingly to attain organizational objectives.
Koontz et al (1980) saw leadership as influence, the art or process of
influencing people so that they will strive willingly towards the achievement
of group goals.
According to Ray Njoku (2008) view leadership as the act or process of
influencing people in a positive way so that they are willing to corporate with
the leader to achieve organizational goals.
From the above theories, it
becomes clear that leadership is the process of influencing others towards the
accomplishment of goals. It is the ability of the manager to influence induces
his sub ordinates to work with influence.
This approach is relevant to
this study because of the anonymities and bureaucratic nature of Nigerian
government. It will help to employ the zealous and merited workers who are
willing to work effectively for efficiency and drop the lack adaisical ones.
