INTRODUCTION

The word administer is derived from the Latin

word “ad+ministraire”, means to care for or to
look after people- to manage affairs. Administaire
means “Serve”- the meaning is suggestive enough,
as it insists on the administrator to regard himself
as a servant, not that the master to look after,
perform all functions. Administration is a process
permeating all collective effort, be it public or
private, civil or military, large scale otherwise, and
is that of universal nature
