ABSTRACT
It is observed that performance evaluation is fast losing its beauty among workers at different level or categories. The reason for this is not farfetched. Some appraisal policies are defective in design while some people are defective in design while some people appraise with wrong intension. In short, information provided on appraisal forms are unreliable making the essence of appraisal forms are unreliable making the essence of appraisal next to nothing. It is in view above that intention for the reawaking of cogent and reliable appraisal programmes are now burning in the hearts of young administrators who believe that something can be done to correct the anomalies that have characterised the system over the year. Suggestion are here offered exhaustively on ways to tackle the menace that has continued to plaghe appraisal process. It interesting to know that appraisal programme is one good that can best correct inefficiency in both public and private sector, if well handled.
