Abstract

Nigerian governments have undertaken a number of risky projects over the years to address the populace's strong desire for improved living standards and national growth. This ongoing ambition also made it necessary for the various administrations to come up with a number of development plans that were targeted at the solution. Because of this, this study specifically looked at how national development and governance fit into the picture as the only factors that affect the pipe's tone. However, it is important to stress that when a problem and its origin are well understood, a solution is almost always close at hand. For this reason, the study is heavily focused on concerns pertaining to Nigeria's lack of progress. The study, which mainly relied on the qualitative method of data collection, selected the social development theory as the focal compass to explore the challenges of governance and the national development crises in Nigeria. The study's conclusions show several developmental plans with their own unique conception, goal, perspective, and engineering apparatus. However, a number of these schemes shared a history of inefficiency and structural shortcomings, which made it more difficult for Nigeria to achieve development. The government's inability to implement successful development is due to a number of factors, including poor state institutions, a lack of political will, and various obsolete developmental strategies. The report also suggested that the only things that may truly advance a country's growth are political will, the merit system, stability and continuity of policy programs, and the adoption of the philosophies of the Japanese and Chinese.

Abstract

The new strategy for public management has given rise to a shift in human resource planning. The purpose of the study is to assess how the new public management approach's theoretical modifications have affected its practical applications, particularly in the area of human resource planning. The main goal of this study was to ascertain how the New Public Management approach has affected human resource planning in Delta State Hospital Management Board, Asaba. Convenience sampling and a cross-sectional research design were used. For this study, a questionnaire was used as the research tool for data collection, and 109 respondents were deemed useful. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 23.0 was used to perform inferential statistics of correlation and multiple regression analysis on the collected data. The study's findings demonstrated a favorable and significant correlation between new public management and human resource planning and a high-performance culture. The study also showed that the New Public Management approach had a direct impact on the culture of high commitment and performance and human resource planning. The study makes several recommendations, including that the Delta State Hospital Management Board and other related public sector organizations work on clearly outlined HR policies that can form the cornerstone of an institutional framework to ensure the efficient application of HRP policies. Additionally, they should implement New Public Management processes that include human resource planning scope and allocate more funds for the capacity building and professional growth of the resources in order to provide need-based training to their staff. The study is unique in two ways. First, while there are numerous studies that describe the traditional approach to public management in the literature, this study offers a critical viewpoint on it. Second, no other studies in Nigeria have looked into the connection between the new public management approach and human resource planning; the study is a leader in the field in this regard.

Abstract

Nigeria became administratively divided into many constituent groups, including 774 Local Governments, multiple Local Council Development Areas, 36 states, and a Federal Capital Territory. These were intended to accelerate advancement by reacting to citizen needs, pushing governance nearer to the citizens and citizens nearer to the government to more effectively meet their demands and improve the nation's overall growth. Despite the nation's institutional decentralization, with abundant human and environmental assets readily accessible to growth, the country has significant economic hurdles. This study investigates the relationship between administrative decentralization and development in Nigeria. The study gathered data from secondary sources and researchers' observations of Nigerian government operations. The study indicated that administrative decentralization of functions reduced levels of governance without equivalent funds to carry such jobs and low tax-raising capacities by subunits of government. Some of the explanations for ineffective administrative decentralization in Nigeria include the central government's lack of political will to devolve power to subunits of government properly, the issue of resource control, corruption among decentralized area officials, conflict over the location of administrative headquarters, and failure to integrate diverse groups of decentralized areas. The study concludes that administrative decentralization has not resulted in the desired progress for Nigeria. Therefore, for administrative decentralization to promote development in Nigeria, genuine human engagement must address all of the stated difficulties.

Abstract

The post-colonial African society is inarguably disposed to internal conflicts, most of which have resulted to full-brown civil wars. The major causes of some of these conflicts have been traced to the events that happened during colonial rule, such as implantation and promotion of ethnic and religious consciousness among the people by the European colonialists. Most perturbing is the fact that colonial legacies in the continent continue to dominate post-independence relationship, and weakened cohesion and unity among the diverse nationalities in African society. Solutions to these delusions propagated, first, by the European colonial masters, and now by Africans against Africans, have defied meaningful solutions as conflict persists in most countries in Africa. It is on these conditions that this study interrogates the similarities in the causes of conflicts and wars in post-colonial Africa, and how these conflicts affect development. Qualitative inquiry was adopted as the study’s research design. The study relied extensively on secondary sources of data such as textbooks, journal articles, dailies, periodicals, internet materials, among others. Failed-State theory was adopted as its theoretical framework.  The Study suggests among others that Africa post-colonial states should assiduously delink from their self-notions of colonial legacies and embrace the reality of their internal polities. Africa should also shun self-imposed ethnic consciousness and other internal factors causing conflicts and wars. Fairness and equity in distribution of commonwealth should be prioritised in order to prevent issue of sectional marginalisation that is consistently one of the major factors promoting conflict in African States.
