The improvement in management sciences and technology, which demands complex skills, knowledge, and experiences has made staff training a compulsory task. It is because of this trend that this work is being carried out inorder to evaluate the training and development programmes in Nigeria Public Sector with special reference to MB-Anambra Motor Manufacturing Company, Emene, Enugu State. The research equally probes into the impact of Human resources training and development on workers’ productivity. In carrying out this research work , sources of data were drawn from both primary and secondary sources. Simple statistical methods such as tables, mean, frequencies and percentages were usedin data analysis. However, chi-square (X2) was used to test the two hypothesis formulated. The researcher made the following findings among others in the caurse of the study: a. Mercedez-Benz ANAMMCO has a formal training programme. b. Training and development is a regular phenomena in MB-ANAMMCO. c.Periodic training has indeed increased the productivity of MB-ANAMMCO and the present high productivity of MB-ANAMMCO could be attributed to the high priority given to training and development by the management of the company. d We also discovered that there is significant relationship between employee training and productivity. e. Majority of the workers of MB-ANAMMCO do not have job satisfaction. f. Workers of MB-ANAMMCO need the following fringe benefits as a source of motivation: Leave allowance, Travel tours allowance, Hazard allowance, and Housing allowance.
