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.

Federalism is one of the best frameworks for managing a pluralistic society, and Nigeria used it to run her multiethnic state. Despite this, there appears to be division, conflict, and discord rather than cohesion, unity, and consensus. Other political strategies, including the quota system and Federal Character, were adopted as a result of the quest for national integration. The application of Federal Character, which was fully adopted in 1979, has been the subject of numerous political disputes and is currently a hot topic in political as well as administrative discourse. Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate how the federal character principle is implemented in Nigeria's public sector. This study used the historical research design and adopted systems theory as its theoretical framework. The study's conclusion was that Nigerian federalism is far from ideal and that the Federal Character Principle, which aims to foster national loyalty, promotes unity among Nigerians, and gives all citizens a sense of belonging to the country regardless of differences in ancestry, culture, language, or religion, has not been able to achieve this goal. Among other recommendations, the study suggests that there be mechanisms in place for the effective implementation of the federal character and quota system in the Nigerian civil service, including those related to patriotism, honesty, institutionalism, and fairness. This will lessen the likelihood of conflicts between Nigeria's various ethnic groups, which are often the main reason why certain ethnic groups are excluded from civil service recruitment.

The Niger Delta region of Nigeria has become a paradox of poverty, underdevelopment and neglect in the midst of wealth. The region is endowed with rich deposits of crude oil, but its people are suffering from excruciating poverty, environmental degradation and policy neglect. Through historical survey method, the paper explored the earlier cases of agitation for attention before the attainment of independence, and the empirical cases of the regions concerted approach to cry out because of abandonment, policy inconsistencies and a near neglect of the region. The paper explored the subject in terms of government efforts at obviating their palpable efforts at failure, the irresponsibility of the oil exploring and processing companies and the very hazardous cases of environmental degradation. The paper makes a case for the fact that giving attention to the region must become a mandate for every regime, since it has become a policy trust. It went on to alert the present government that the NDDC has a clear mission for the development of the region. And that their renewed hope agenda does not have to look too far. It went further to aver that adopting the polycentric approach to policy making, stakeholders, governments, the communities and the people in the region would become the better for it.

This study examined the Nigeria police force and the challenge of combating internal insecurity in Nigeria. The Broken Windows Theory (BWT) was employed as the theoretical framework to guide the study. This theoretical paper draws its arguments primarily from secondary sources of data, such as existing legal frameworks and other associated policies, journal publications and textbooks. The study concluded that peace, security and safety are necessary and indispensable requirement for development and attainment of quality livelihood in society. Nigeria has recently experienced uncommon crises and feeling unsafe, each of which has resulted in the loss of lives and the destruction of property. This study recommended that State governments should be allowed by law to establish local police authority and recruits from within their communities, as opposed to posting officers and men from diverse geographical and cultural backgrounds across the country. This will go a long way toward addressing the state's unique security challenges.

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.

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. This study assesses the strategies employed by the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) to address the rising crime rate in Delta and Edo States, focusing on the effectiveness of community policing, technological innovations, and inter-agency collaboration. The rising crime rate in these states, characterized by kidnappings, armed robbery, cultism, and communal clashes, has created significant security challenges that demand effective law enforcement responses. The objective of this study was to explore the relationship between community policing and crime reduction, assess the role of technological innovations in improving police performance, and examine the impact of inter-agency collaboration on crime control. The study used a quantitative approach, collecting data through a structured questionnaire distributed to security stakeholders, including police officers, community leaders, and residents in Delta and Edo States. The study was anchored on the Routine Activity Theory, which emphasizes how routine daily activities and societal changes influence crime opportunities. Correlation analysis was employed to test the hypotheses with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 23. The findings revealed a strong positive correlation between community policing and crime reduction, as well as between technological innovations and improved police performance. Additionally, inter-agency collaboration was found to be crucial in enhancing the overall effectiveness of crime reduction strategies. The conclusion drawn from this study emphasizes the importance of integrating community-based policing, modern technologies, and inter-agency cooperation in addressing crime in in Delta and Edo States. The study recommended among others that the Nigeria Police Force should invest more in technological tools and foster stronger collaborations between security agencies to effectively combat rising crime rates in Delta and Edo States.

This study examined the impact of work ethics on organizational performance in the public service sectors of Delta and Rivers states. Using a cross-sectional research design, data were collected through a structured survey from a sample of 506 employees randomly selected from both states. The study was grounded in labour process theory and agency theory. Labour process theory highlights how organizations can limit employee autonomy by implementing control mechanisms to enhance work performance. Meanwhile, agency theory emphasizes the use of decision-making rights to ensure effective governance, management, and the establishment of incentives and sanctions within an organization. A systematic random sampling method was used to select survey respondents, and the data were analyzed using Pearson’s product-moment correlation and multiple regression analysis. The findings revealed that work ethics encompassing work attitude, workplace commitment, teamwork, and workplace discipline, had a significant and positive impact on organizational performance in the public services of Delta and Rivers states. Additionally, the study identified a linear positive relationship between work ethics practices and organizational performance. This indicates that work ethics not only hold sentimental value but are also critical for enhancing public service performance and sustaining service delivery in Nigeria. The study concluded that work ethics positively influence organizational performance in Delta and Rivers states' public service. The ethical principles outlined in the Nigerian public service code play a key role in guiding civil servants towards behaviors that improve organizational outcomes. As a recommendation, leaders in the public service of Delta and Rivers states, as well as across Nigeria, should prioritize staff training on workplace ethics. Such efforts would help improve employee attitudes, commitment, teamwork, and discipline, ultimately fostering better performance amidst evolving workplace dynamics. The study was limited to the public service sectors in Delta and Rivers states. It is recommended that future research expand to include other states across Nigeria to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the topic.
