3. Professional Inequality: There is
lack of sense of dignity for labour as regards misconception, assumption and
disposition. A secretary is erroneously seen as nothing more than a helper of
his/her boss. Moreover, a secretary does not attend meeting just to partake in
decision making and policy execution rather he/she attends as a recorder of
deliberations. This in fact suggests that secretaries are poorly regarded in
their profession and this affects their morals in the presences of other
co-professionals bodies in the course of training and development.

4. Inadequate Reward: Inadequate
reward to trained secretaries is an economic problem which secretaries have
been battling with over the years. This had reduced the interest of many people’s
interest in the field as many people are looking up for higher earnings to
lives and meet their economic and social demands in order to live to their
expectation.

5. Inadequate Professional Training:
The job of the secretary requires several skills
which include both professional, interpersonal, language and ICT skills. These
are some of the necessary skills that the secretary needs. The absence of any
of the above-mentioned skilled will lead to inefficiency of the secretary.
