The study focused on the effectof staff development on employee productivity using selected Federal Universities in the North East Nigeria, 2012 - 2018. The increased turnover of employees occasioned by the poor development of academic staff among tertiary institutions in the country necessitated this research. Hence, the objectives were to ascertain whether there is a significant relationship between staff development and the quality of services delivered by the employees of the selected Universities, to determine the effect of staff development on career progression of the employees of the selected Universities. The study was anchored on Organization learning theory by Agyris and Schon (1960). The study adopted cross sectional survey design. Stratified random sampling was used for analyzing the qualitative result obtained through oral interviews. The findings show that staff development influences service delivery, career progression and employees engagement of academic staff in tertiary institutions. Hence, the study recommends: firstly, Staff development programmes should be tailored specifically to areas that accounts for greater capacity development and skill delivery among academic staff, thereby allowing for increased service delivery in tertiary institutions. Secondly, Career progression path should be clearly stated, designed and free from repression and undue political interference.
