CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
The success and failure of many business organis actions especially commercial Banks depend mainly on the contribution of personal secretaries.
According to the National secretaries Association of the united States of America, a secretary is defined as executive assistant who possesses a mastery of office skills, demonstrates the ability to assume responsibility without direct supervision, exercises initiative and judgement and makes decision with the scope of assigned authority.
From the above definition it can be argued that a secretary is the pillar on which any business is erected. It is vital at this stage to differentiate between a secretary and a stenographer vis-à-vis a typist.
However the Dictionary of occupation took a stenographer to a person who takes dictation in shorthand and correspondence, reports and other matters, and trans cribes dictated materials using typewrite, and also performs a variety of clerical duties” a typist is one who types correspondences and may or may not be a shorthand write.
