Conclusion
This study has underscored the impact of training and development on workers’ productivity in Nestle Agbara factory Ogun state. Findings from this research uncovered that manpower training is an effective tool for employee’s higher productivity in the manufacturing sector. Hence, manufacturing staffs can only work effectively if given the right training required for such task and provided with the right equipment. This study is in consistent with the findings of Adiele Goodness Nweke (2017) which revealed that manpower training has a strong positive relationship with productivity. This position was also reiterated in the findings of Igwe Jacinta Chinelo (2011) and corroborated that training of the employees increased their better understanding of the job. Thus, in the light of the foregoing, this study reliably concludes that manpower training and equipment has a positive impact on workers’ productivity in the broadcast sector. Employees will discharge their designated responsibilities effectively if the media house fosters trainings, workshops, seminars and conferences.
The findings of this study have clearly shown that manpower training is a work activity that can make a very significant contribution to the overall effectiveness and profitability of an organization. The effectiveness and success of an organization therefore lies on the people who form and work within the organization. Thus, for any organization to succeed, training and re-training of the staff in form of workshop, conference, seminars, etc., should be vigorously pursued and made compulsory.

On the strength of the observations and findings made in this study the following recommendations have been made.
- Effective training and development programme should be inculcated by the management of Nestle Nigeria PLC. The essence of training is to equip staff with necessary skills and techniques needed for the particular job in the organization.
