The University Supervisor from the Faculty of management visited the Town Council Finance Office to assess the progress of my field work attachment and also guide me through my undertaking. However, the Town council has some few challenges, inadequate enough technical personnel for executing all daily activities according to the town clerk total number of employees should be 63, but currently 23, punctuality is still a challenge, Inadequate equipment like computers and photocopying machines are still few limiting productive and efficiency. In conclusion the encounter was of great significant not only to the students but also to the Town council, However, I carried out the internship successfully and though the period was short, I have learnt to work under minimum supervision.
