Function of Pupil’s Personnel Management
INTRODUCTION
The local government system is specially designed to bring governance close to the people at the grassroots. The need to enhance efficiency and workability of the system led to the reforms in the local government administration in Nigeria. In spite of these reforms the system has neither brought the much desired results especially in transforming the rural areas nor checked corruption which thrives in Nigeria.
Indeed, one area where the system has suffered severe dislocations is in the field of human resource and capacity building and staff welfare. This has helped to enforce low morals in many workers resulting in low productivity, favouritism and corruption. In order to sanitize the system therefore, there is need to keep strictly to the standard rules in relation to proper staff placement in all the Departments in the local government (Isabemoch, 2010).
Human Resource, capacity building and staff welfare are the basic roles of the personnel management.

Except in schools with very small enrollments, the main role of the administrator in pupil personnel services is one of integrating these services with instruction and coordinating the various kinds of personnel services (Campbell, Bridges, & Nystrand, 1977). Though the area of pupil personnel services has received very little attention in the professional literature, it is an administrative post that is critical to the effective operation of a school district (Duffy, 1990). Because some of the pupil personnel functions such as special education and counseling services are particularly sensitive, they have become areas of increasing concern at the district level and site level. Variations of what services constitute the pupil personnel function have existed historically and still exist for different states and even for different
