Abstract

This study investigate the fact that the phenomena of succession planning have a link to the frequency of age dissimulation among public servants, which have resulted in the increasing decline in human resources performance. The paper focuses on those who dissimulate their age on entry into public service. To support our thesis, we collected our data using a purposive sampling technique to elicit the actual responses from the population, and we analysed the data using STATA/IC. Results show that huge revenues are lost by the nation of training and retraining of the wrong staff in human resource development, then management of public resources and decision making involved in good governance are equally negatively affected as adequate human resource succession planning becomes difficult. Based on these findings, we recommend improved statistical records; a robust indigenous and well-functioning human resource management should be developed in the Nigeria public sector to enhance good governance.
