CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

In any establishment, the secretary is seen as a key factor to other personnel in an organization.  It is quite impossible to by-pass the secretary to other executives; hence the role of the secretary cannot be over-emphasized.  A secretary has been given so many titles as pillar, mirror and skeletal structure of an establishment. The word secretary has been in existence for a very long time precisely as soon as business organization came into being. The Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary defined a secretary as an employee in an office, who deals with correspondence, keeps records, make arrangements and appointment for a particular member of staff.

A secretary is the principal administrative support position in an office and increases the effectiveness of program staff by coordinating the paper flow of the office and carrying out the day-to-day administrative support activities required to accomplish the work of the organization.  The tasks which the secretaries perform fall into four broad categories; communication, coordination, organizations and records maintenance.  Within these categories, Secretaries perform a variety of tasks which enable managers and staffs to accomplish the mission of the agency. It is pertinent to say that, despite the facts that secretary has many roles to play in the management of any organization, so also there are many challenges and problems facing the secretary which may affect the proper running of an organization, especially the female secretaries.

These problems may range from interpretation of words, tact’s in handling of office routines, inability to tackle complex situation, gender, and lack of general secretary skills to enhance efficiency. Therefore, a female secretary needs to have good basic educational background and experience.  In addition, a female secretary should have good secretarial skills in shorthand, typewriting, she must be computer literate and sound knowledge of English Language and practical experience of office works since a female secretary is expected to ease the burden of her boss whose work and responsibilities make heavy demand upon her.

I actually googled and saw about iproject master, copied the number and contacted them through WhatsApp to ask for the availability of the material and to my luck they have it. So there was a delay with the project due to the covid19 pandemic. I was really scared before making the payment cause I’ve been scammed twice, they attended so well to me and that made me trust the process and made the payment and provided them with proof, I got my material in less than 10minutes
