a pproach with particular reference to my place of work.
That is, Osun State College of Technology, Esa-Oke.
It starts by highlighting the origin of direct
labour which had been in light operation since the 1930's
to 1960's but which was popularised and given a full legal
backing by the Sheu Shagari Administration in the late
1970's/early 1980's when the escalati o~ cost of the contracting
system of project execution became a source of worry
to them.
The need for carrying out direct labour work is
analysed,and the merits and demerits which the direct
labour practice has over contract system are also fully
elucidated. This is followed by the practice of direct
labour in my place of work which is Osun State College
of Technology , Esa-Oke and the necessary areas of improvement
for the direct labour practice are laid down .
Conclusion is then made by proierlng some useful
sugges tions towards i n1p rove n~nt and better efficiency
