Abstract: In Nigeria, not much is known about workforce development and job satisfaction. Especially considering the situation of support staff in a few chosen universities in Lagos State, Nigeria. Support staff in tertiary institutions in Lagos State, Nigeria, have been experiencing constant anxiety due to the situation’s protracted duration. As a result, there are few reports on strategies for dealing with outdated skills. The motivation behind this investigation is the need to reverse the trend and close the gap. 4800 support workers made up the study population, which used a survey research design. By using Krecjie and Morgan’s (1970) Table, the study was able to obtain a sample size of 357 participants, which is the same number as the number of participants who answered the questionnaires that were given. The study’s data analysis was accomplished with SPSS Version 26. Analysis results showed that support workers’ job satisfaction in a few chosen institutions in Lagos State, Nigeria, is not significantly impacted by workforce development. The study concludes that among support staff in particular institutions in Lagos State, Nigeria, workforce development leads to job satisfaction. According to the study, university administrations should revise their current policies to allay any concerns about competency.
