Abstract

Policy agenda setting is a crucial component of the policy-making process, as it determines which public issues are brought to the forefront of government attention and how they are prioritized. In a nation as ethnically diverse and politically intricate as Nigeria, this stage is frequently influenced by competing regional interests, fragile institutional structures, and fluctuating political commitment. This study explores the relationship between public policy agenda setting and ethnoreligious consciousness in Nigeria. Using the Multiple Streams Framework as its analytical lens, the study demonstrates how political, social, and institutional forces impede the development of a unified national agenda, resulting in disjointed policies and slow responses to societal challenges. Employing a qualitative research design, the study analyzed collected data using thematic content analysis. The findings reveal that the interplay of power, perception, influence, and proximity in political mobilization and policy development significantly affects how ethnicity and religion intersect, frequently reducing broader historical and geopolitical issues to ethnic confrontation. The study concludes that the intentional use of ethnic consciousness by political actors, who invoke shared group identities during national debates, lies at the core of many instances of ineffective policymaking in present-day Nigeria. It further underscores the need for stronger institutions, inclusive governance practices, and improved civic participation to ensure that policy agendas reflect the broader national interest

Abstract

Innovation in agriculture and the pursuit of sustainable food security are vital concerns for all modern societies. In this context, the present study conducted an empirical investigation to assess the relationship between agricultural innovation and sustainable food security in Nigeria’s South–South geopolitical zone. A cross-sectional research design was adopted, and data were gathered through a survey administered to 300 respondents across the region. The data were analysed using linear regression and the Pearson product–moment correlation, with the assistance of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23. The findings revealed a strong and positive association between agricultural innovation and sustainable food security in the South–South zone. As anticipated, the study further showed that agricultural innovation exerts a favourable and statistically significant influence on sustainable food security in the area. It also explored the implications of food security for Nigeria’s national security. Overall, the results suggest that agricultural innovation plays a crucial role in achieving sustainable food security globally. Consequently, the study recommends, among other measures, that both federal and state governments in Nigeria should strengthen agricultural research and capacity building through the use of modern technologies, with a view to boosting agricultural productivity and enhancing food security nationwide.
