CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The organization structure is the basic framework within which
the executive decision making behavior occurs. The quality and the
nature of the decisions made are influenced by the nature of the
structure. Organization as an element of management is concerned with
the grouping of activities in such manner that enterprise objectives
are attained.
The choice of the topic of this project: The organizational structure and its effects on workers performance was motivated by the interest of the researchers to known the structure of the Kaduna North Local Government and the performance of the workers.
Organization may be seen as a new phenomenon that is
particular to modern society; they existed even in the pre-industrial
societies. Many authors have given many definitions of organization. It
then lies in one to consider which is more appropriate to suit the
meaning of organization.
The definition most suited is the one outlined by edge (1979).
He was of the opinion that individual alone is unable to fulfill its
need and wishes, particularly in modern societies, that are lacking
either ability, strength, time or endurance to fulfill their basic need
for food, shelter and safety. As severely of this people coordinate
effort, however they find that together they can do more than any of
them could have singularly. The large organization will do better than
individuals will, for all members to fulfill needs, and basic concepts
of organization in the idea of cooperation of effort in the service of
mutual help in needed.
In order to achieve coordination of effort there must be existence of some goals to be achieved and some agreements concerning these goals. The second idea underlining the concept of organization is the idea of achieving some common goals or purpose through coordination of activities.
Formal organization, is seen by Bernard (1969) as when the
activities of two or more persons have consciously coordinated towards a
given objective. This is when people are asked to communicate, willing
to act and share a purpose.
Informal organization, is personal activity without consciously
joint purpose, even though contributing to joint result. The formal
organization can be people that walk down the street, group of people
in a boat etc. in this research we are concentrate on formal
organization in government set-up in Kaduna North Local Government
Area.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY OF KADUNA NORTH LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA
This is the first and oldest Local Government in Kaduna state.
The history of the Local Government could be traced back in precolonial
era during which the area was under Makera District head, the Iyan
Abdullahi. At that time, the Hausa people were living at Mekera, Kawo,
and Barnawa while Gabassawa part of Doka, outskirts of Makera and kawo
had gbagyi (Gwari) inhabitants.
This means the indigenous tribe of Hausa was largely Hausa, Fulani and Gbagyi (Gwari). When Iya Abdullahi, the Iyu Zazzau was direct head of Makera, Maakera was under Zazzau emirate under the reign of Aliyu Dan Sidi, the ground Son of Mal. Musa, the flag bearer of Shehu Usman Dan Fodio.
In 1914, Lord Laggard, the representative of the colonial masters amalgamated Northern and Southern Nigeria and moved the headquarters to Northern Province from Zungew to Kaduna. He came along with people from Sierra Leone, Ghana (Gold cost) Dahomay (Benin) and Niger to settle in Kaduna.
The northern house of chiefs passed and approved Kaduna as the capital territory of Northern Nigeria on March 1ST 1956 with an administrator and Magajin Garri, Mal. Sambo the district head as the assistant Administrator.
The Kaduna native authority existed until after the 1966 coup when state were created and Kaduna lost the capital territory status of northern Nigeria.
The Federal Government in 1876 introduced local Government aciform in which native authorities were abolished and replaced with Local Government authorities throughout the Federation. Kaduna which had its local government status since 1974 had for the first time an elected chairman instead of an appointed one. This was late Alhaji Yusuf Dantsoho a politician from the Sardauna era.
With the new local government area in 1990, former Kaduna North Local Government Area that is (Kaduna North Local Government Area and Kaduna South Local Government Area) with their head quarters at Doka and Makera respectively.
Kaduna north is found between longitudes 100 - 350 north and
100 - 00 south and longitudes 70 – 360 east, it is sundered in the
north and east by Igabi Local Government area. South and west by Kaduna
south Local Government Area. The local government area is found within
the guinea Savannah region of the country with an annual rainfall of
50 centimeters with terrain type coverage of 80sq km and total
population of 454.764 by the 2000 projection using growth rate of 2:8:3
percent per annum from 1991 census figures. The Local Government Area
has three (3) districts, namely, Dokka, Gabassawa and Kawo with the
following traditional rulers, Alhaji Jibril Muhammad (Dankaden Zazzau)
and Alhaji Sanimagaji (Danmakwayon Zazzau) respectively.
