In spite of the effectiveness of Training and Development in insuring good performance of the employees many problems had been detected such as obstruction of the effects of trainees due to lack of adequate implementation of training programmes lacks adequate training equipment and in most cases, inadequate professional trainers. The objective of this paper is to assess the effect of training and development on the employees’ performance in Nigerian commercial banks. The study used descriptive approach and inferential statistics such as simple percentage and chi-square for the presentation and analysis of the data collected. The Primary data were generated from these respondents through questionnaires distributed to the sample of 25 staff of Union Bank Plc from the total population of 35 staff, using Simple Random Sampling Technique. Out of the 25 questionnaires distributed, 22 were correctly filled, the number which the results and analysis were based. The study discovered that training has positive effect on employee performance and productivity. Investment in training can improve a company’s financial standing. Poor performance often results when employees don’t know exactly what they are supposed to do, how to do their job or why they need to work a certain way. The study recommended that banks should have a well-defined training manual that has to be followed to the latter for effective utilization of human resource capital.
