-   The two way communication system must be jettisoned

-   Communicating messages that are of either short-run or long-run importance should be done early enough

-   SECRETARIES IN FIRST BANK is advised to ensure that the communication barriers that exist in the Secretaries in Banks should adequately contain.

-   Secretaries in Banks should occasionally organize seminars, workshops, conference etc.

-   Management must have a genuine willingness to share information with employees.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1      BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

            Communication is a discipline that embraces all aspect of human life. It informs all our actions and inaction in relations to others and it takes place all the time.
