This paper examined the effect of supervision in achieving effectiveness of the Nigerian public organization. The need arose due to the documented evidences of inefficiency of the public organization and the dire need for solution. To achieve the stated objective, the study employed the secondary means of data generation and descriptive method of data analysis. Anchored on MacGragor’s theory X and Y to explore the impact of supervision on organizational effectiveness, the study found that efficiency is low in the Nigerian public organizations; supervision is abysmal in these organization; even though effective supervision engenders organizational effectiveness, its institutionalization is bedeviled with many challenges such as financial rascality, godfatherism, remunerations not proportionate to current economic reality and lack of institutionalization of supervision as well as protection for the supervisory staff. The paper recommends among others: institutionalization of supervision and independent of the supervisory staff as well as check against financial indiscipline.
