Abstract
This research work was conducted to assess the role of Jigawa state civil service in
enhancing Development from 1999 – 2009. In collecting data for the study, both primary
and secondary sources were explored. The secondary sources include books, journals,
paper presentations, web sites, government documents. The primary source is the two set
of questionnaires administered on Jigawa state civil servants and political office holders
Also year 2002 and 2006 Core welfare indicators questionnaire (CWIQ)surveys was used
to determine the level of development in the state. Yamane’s formula was used in
determining the sample size and simple random sampling techniques was used in the
selection of respondents. The respondents consist of both sexes aged from 16 – 60 years.
The techniques adopted in the analysis of the data were percentages, averages, and Chi-
Square statistical technique. The research found out that civil service in the study area
played a significant role in enhancing development. However, it was further revealed that
inefficiency, coupled with inadequate skilled manpower has negatively affected the
performance of the civil service .The study recommended that Jigawa state civil service
should have to undergo radical, structural, procedural and attitudinal changes if it has to
serve as an efficient and effective instrument of positive change and progress in the state
and; it is also recommended that employment of enough professionals and giving them
regular and systematic training will equip the civil servants with the requisite skills and
competencies.
