1.6 Scope and Limitations of the Study
The
new civil service reform introduced by the federal government is for
implementation throughout Nigeria, but this research work is limited to
only Sokoto State Ministry of Finance. The researcher encountered a
number of limitations during the research work that include time. The
research has limited time to carry out investigation and get needed
information. Most of the needed information was unable to be obtained on
time due to uncooperative attitude of the top management in charge of
ministry files and records. The researcher is constraint from having
direct access to the management level to derive information in term of
interview which will be very useful to research work. But I am very
grateful to the public relation officer of the ministry for giving me
maximum cooperation in the conduct of this research work. Most public
organizations especially Sokoto State Ministry of finance given absolute
need to the law of secrecy because it deals with financial management
of the state, which obstructs or hampers the researcher from obtaining
necessary and accurate stability data.
