Abstract

The Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) which is saddled with the core mandate as the nation’s air navigation service provider is the bed rock of Nigeria Aviation Industry and this puts a great demand on the employees who are supposed to developed uniform and consistent Nigerian airspace to meet with international standards and practices. In recent times, employees of the agency have come under verbal attacks by passengers and the general public on accusation of insensitivity in their duties and lack of professionalism. Perhaps, major fallout of this development has been the poor person-organization fit in the sector which resulted into employees’ attitudes and behaviours inimical to organizational engagement, prompt and efficient service delivery. This study therefore examined the effect of person-organization fit on organizational engagement in the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency, Port Harcourt using survey research method. Accidental sampling technique was used to elicit information via questionnaire from 178 respondents. Data collected were analyzed using correlation and linear regression analysis with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 21. The results of the study showed that there is significant relationship between person-organization fit and organizational engagement. As predicted, the study also revealed that person-organization exerts a positive and statistically significant effect on organizational engagement in the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency. Thus, the study recommends among others that management should give due attention to person-organization fit which positively contributes to a large number of organizational attitudes and behaviours such as job satisfaction, display of organizational citizenship behaviour, job performance, organizational commitment and engagement.

Abstract

In order to raise the living standards of its people, maintain and improve economic stability, foster relations among Member States, and contribute to the advancement and development of the African continent, Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) was established. Its goal is to promote cooperation and integration that will result in the creation of an economic union in West Africa. According to a set of guiding principles, such as impartiality, the parties' consent, and the non-use of force unless necessary for self-defense, a third party intervention known as "peacekeeping" is conducted. The study examines the role played by ECOWAS in preserving stability and peace on the African continent, focusing in particular on the ECOMOG intervention in Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea Bissau. The regional security complex theory was accepted. The research was qualitative, and its historical analysis heavily drew on secondary sources.  The essence of the resolutions of the UN Security Council and the ECOWAS Mediation and Security Council, and consequently the legal foundation for peacekeeping and peace enforcement are contained in peace agreements. As a result, peace agreements are essential to the management and resolution of conflicts. However, it is erroneous to assume that the heads of armed factions are sane political actors motivated by genuine grievances and that they will thereby agree to mediated agreements. The offering of carrots (the confidence-building approach) must therefore be combined with strong diplomacy supported by a credible enforcement capacity in order for peace to be successfully implemented in the West African region.  The study recommends, among other things, that the framework for the ECOWAS legal system governing peace and security should be the member states. This is because the majority of democracies in the sub-region elect postcolonial states with a predominance of coloniality of power disguising itself as democracy and causing conflicts in the majority of countries within the West African security complex, ECOWAS must exert pressure on its member states to step up their efforts to improve democracy in their respective countries.

Abstract

Nigeria as an independent nation cannot discuss her history without recounting her sad experience of one conflict or the other. Notable among these conflicts are those of communal, political and ethno-religious conflicts which often result in destructive violence. Out of all these, ethno-religious conflicts appear to have more implications to national development, security and integration in Nigeria. This paper is an empirical survey of existing literature through secondary investigations. The paper posits that colonialism and its capitalist ideological underpinnings and the transplanting of the same character traits to Nigeria bourgeoisie elements largely accounts for the ethnic divide pervading the Nigerian system. Over and above this argument is the malicious ethnic structures initially created by colonialism which has brought about continuous and contending ethnic strife in the Nigerian state to date. The position of this paper is also that the new trend of criminality and the gory tradition of terrorism and security lapses ravaging the country in most states of the North during the Jonathan’s administration and most states of the North-Central during the Buhari’s administration is akin to ethnic and sectional sentiments as well as ethnic bias. In view of this, the paper therefore attempts to draw explanations on why ethno-religious conflicts have become a permanent feature of Nigeria and its implications to national integration. This paper further takes a peep into the effects of ethno-religious conflicts on economic development in Nigeria. The paper sums up with policy recommendations and conclusion for peaceful co-existence in the 21st century.
