The important of effective human resources management on the product quality of indigenous business, being the little of this study tries to draw attention to how Human Resources being the most important resources in the organization can make or make organizational goals. There are many resource in the organizational disposal e.g. money, material, machine and men, the first three are all important but they can’t manage themselves, they need the tough of men, which is Human Resources to be productive. Of the Human Resources of an organization is well motivated then the product quality of organization, will be well improved. Human Resources are the quality of those in organizations, if this is not effective, the quality of their product will be low standard.

The case study of this research O’ Ben develops limited provides a very good ground for this study, because they are currently witnessing low ineffective Human Resources which derail organizational goals. I hope this study will go a long way in providing answers to their problem. The effective management of human resources is the heart and soul of any business enterprises be it private or public, multinational or indigenous. In the endless effort to ensure the growth of indigenes business as the beginning of industrial development of Nigeria, the effort to really find out the impact of effective Human Resources management on the product quality of indigenous business become timely.

It is human element that does these, as well as paper works. This means the Human Resources unavailable in any establishment. indigenous business in Nigeria

Again, there is also the problem of inconsistency in politics and programmes and practices formulated by the management and managed in a manner that will enhance the value and Human Resources therefore will provide the frame work for analyzing expanding and evaluating the product quality of contribution of the work force.

In the same way, O’ Ben developers limited does not have in place and adequate training and development programme that will lead to reduction in cost Associated with accidents.
