This research work on "Manpower Development Policy and its Impact on an Organisation" Chanchaga Local Government Council was used as the sample organisation. Data was collected from the respondents, through questionnaires and interview schedules. It was an attitude survey study and data collected were analysed using simple percentages to indicate opinion responses. Findings revealed that through the policy many staff have been trained and so the policy has improved their living standards and helped them perform better at work. However, there was complaint that the policy implementation favoured indigenes and the male staff. Recommendations were drawn from the conclusions and suggestions for further researches were presented.
