Abstract

It is no news that Nigeria is a blessed country with both human and natural resources with a land area of
983,213kms and over 120 million people, as expected though with its own fair share of challenges and
opportunity yet unaddressed owning to which the services of management practice becomes eminent and
brings to bear the need for this paper on the challenges of managing in the Nigeria work environment.
These challenges were viewed in two perspectives, external and internal with individual peculiarities.
Handling our work environment demand collective effort, owing to which the skills of managing play a
greater role within the said system. It is our believe then, that we create an institution which promote an
ideal working environment that captures a more collective interest and speak of collective vision with the
big picture in mind of today’s issue with the focus on tomorrows challenge. A glance at Nigerian workers
shows motivational problems which is traceable to the variety of circumstances as notice in the various
environments. These challenges can be addressed by both management and government to introduce
useful and lasting measures, practices to stir the sea of management to meet its “big picture”.
