Nevertheless, the roles they play in communication Industry seem
to be carrying them away from giving their secretaries chana to contribute our play their roles effectively in the communication industry.

Managers and staff in the communication industries have equally acquired the knowledge of the use of modern office equipments like computers, tapes, and disc for information recording and report writing thereby neglecting the roles of efficient and effective secretaries especially when it comes to profession and effective secretaries especially when it comes to profession.
Most of the employees in communication industries are mainly journalists, reporters/correspondent. And news casters with just a few copy typists. The few secretaries there are not always recognized let alone givng them ample opportunity to exhibit their initiatives. An investigation into Nigeria Television Authority proves that the secretaries there are not receiving adequate attention needed to motivate them and that when it comes to promotion, they are not promoted as and at when due; compared with their counterparts in other professions. The bitter part of it all is that they see people whom they academically occupying higher positions and secretaries find themselves subordinate to incompleted ones as their boss.
All these norm and problems faced by secretaries pushed the researcher into carrying out a survey of the roles and performance efficiency and effectively of secretaries in modern communication industries in Enugu Urban.

The researcher views it pertinent to sought and investigate these problems and make proper recommendations and suggestions towards solving them.
