Abstract

The primary goal of creating local governments under democracy is to implement democratic ideals at the grassroots level. Establishing a freely chosen local government council is intended to improve grassroots service delivery in an efficient and effective manner. In order to do this, the study looks at how local governments are formed in Nigeria under the democratic system. The existing body of relevant literature was reviewed. The old-fashioned design was applied. The study used secondary data that was subjected to a qualitative content analysis using the content analysis technique. The analysis revealed that the establishment of local governments, whether democratic or military, has not fulfilled its constitutional mandate. The councils of the local governments that are democratically elected are not particularly noteworthy. Among other recommendations made by the study were to stop the state government from interfering with local governments' finances and to stop encouraging more local governments to step up during this critical period by reviewing the allocation upward, which would allow them to continue providing the services that the grassroots population needs.

Abstract

Although industrial harmony is essential for achieving academic excellence and maintaining a productive educational system in Nigeria, incidents of industrial disharmony in tertiary institutions have become increasingly frequent, intense, widespread, and prolonged. In light of this, the study investigated the causal relationship between industrial disharmony and employee performance in selected tertiary institutions in Delta and Edo States. Utilizing a cross-sectional research design, the study employed a structured survey instrument to collect data from a sample of 243 employees, randomly selected from Delta State University, Abraka; University of Benin, Benin City; Delta State Polytechnic, Oghara; Auchi Polytechnic, Auchi; Delta State College of Education, Warri; and the College of Education, Igueben, Edo State. The research was grounded in the industrial relations system theory, which provides an analytical framework for understanding a broad range of industrial relations practices and phenomena. Six hypotheses were tested at a 0.05 level of significance, with data analysis conducted using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS, version 23.0, 2020). Pearson’s correlation coefficient and linear regression analysis were used to test the hypotheses. The findings revealed that poor implementation of promotion policies significantly increased grievance frequency; non-implementation of agreements significantly heightened the occurrence of strike actions; union leaders’ integrity had a significant positive impact on employee welfare; and industrial union strikes significantly contributed to poor employee performance in tertiary institutions in Delta and Edo States. The study concluded that industrial harmony positively and significantly affects employee performance in these institutions. Among the recommendations, the study emphasized the importance of sincere engagement between tertiary institutions and workers’ unions through collective bargaining. This approach would help workers better understand the challenges and constraints faced in addressing their demands. Moreover, fostering a harmonious work environment relies more on mutual understanding between unions and institutional management rather than on fully satisfying the demands of both parties, which may not always be feasible.

Abstract

The issue of disharmony in Nigerian tertiary institutions has become a significant challenge, affecting academic quality, institutional stability, and national development. This paper examines the various cases and underlying causes of disharmony within Nigerian universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education. Through a critical review of the literature and empirical data, the paper highlights the adverse impacts of disharmony, such as reduced academic productivity, a decline in the quality of graduates, infrastructural decay, and loss of public trust in higher education. The study argues that addressing disharmony requires collaborative efforts between government, management of institutions, staff unions, and students. By promoting inclusivity, strengthening institutional autonomy, and ensuring effective conflict management mechanisms, Nigerian tertiary institutions can foster a more harmonious and productive academic environment.
