The findings include: that Edo Broadcasting service hardly sends staff for training programmes and if they do it, its not a regular exercise, hence job performance is poor Also, most of the staff that have gone for training confirm that it motivates them for better performance on their job.

3. A properly written and widely circulated training policy should be put in place to create awareness to staff on training and development programmes.
4. The elimination of American favouritism and making training very compulsory for both old and newly employed staff.
