Abstract

The growing frustration among different disenchanted regions of Nigeria raises the question; if Nigeria’s current federal structure is delivering the full benefits of citizenship to every region? This study investigates the practicability of Nigeria’s federalism, taking stock of different challenges confronting the nation-state which are mainly economic and political. The study revealed that the current system of federalism fails to meet the standards of true federalism. This is based on the idea that the autonomy advocated for states and regions is not respected in law or practice. The study therefore recommends restructuring and autonomy, which are meant to give every state and region a sense of belonging, improve unity, create healthy competition and help citizens achieve their aspirations. This will safeguard against a heavy-handed and unfair central government, which will allow states to maintain a degree of autonomy and make decisions that they believe best serve local interests. The study concludes that Nigeria must focus on restructuring and autonomy to drive a decentralized governing structure, which creates balance, preserve the country's national unity and cohesion.

Abstract

Growing global and national concerns highlight the declining opportunities for outdoor play in early childhood education, despite its established importance for children’s holistic development. In many Nigerian preschool settings, increasing academic demands, safety concerns, and infrastructural limitations have reduced the emphasis on play-based learning. This study examined preschool teachers’ perceptions of inadequate outdoor play provision in Aba, Abia State, Nigeria, with focus on availability, developmental implications, and implementation constraints. A descriptive survey design was adopted. The population comprised 453 teachers in registered public and private preschools. Using multistage sampling informed by Yamane’s formula (5% margin of error), 212 questionnaires were distributed, of which 200 valid responses were analyzed. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi-square tests. Findings revealed that outdoor play provision is generally inadequate, characterized by limited space, restricted daily access, insufficient time allocation, and safety concerns (cluster mean = 2.26). Teachers agreed that constrained outdoor play negatively affects children’s physical activity, peer interaction, classroom behaviour, and attention regulation (cluster mean = 3.47). No significant subgroup differences were observed. The study identifies a disconnect between teachers’ recognition of the developmental value of outdoor play and the structural conditions influencing its implementation. It underscores the need to strengthen facility standards and reinforce play-based pedagogy in early childhood education settings.

Abstract

Crime and insecurity remains a critical challenge in Nigeria's Federal Capital Territory (FCT-Abuja), requiring innovative community-based approaches to complement traditional policing strategies. This study examined the impact of civic education on community-led crime control participation in FCT-Abuja. A quantitative survey design was employed with 400 adult residents selected through stratified random sampling across six Area Councils. Data were collected using structured questionnaire with dichotomous responses covering civic education exposure and crime control participation. Chi-square test of independence analyzed the relationship between variables at 0.05 significance level. Findings revealed that 69.6% of respondents had been exposed to civic education programs, while 65.2% participated in community crime control activities. Chi-square analysis (χ² = 56.842, p < 0.001) demonstrated a statistically significant impact of civic education on crime control participation. Residents exposed to civic education were nearly twice as likely to participate in crime control activities (76.5%) compared to unexposed residents (39.3%), representing a 37.2 percentage point difference. Civic education significantly enhances community-led crime control participation in FCT-Abuja. Policymakers should expand civic education coverage, diversify delivery platforms, and ensure sustained programming to strengthen community security capacity across all Area Councils.
