Abstract

This paper examined the predicaments facing Nigeria and how they have become more manifest in each attempt to attain democratic rule and economic reform. This approach provides an opportunity to observe how respect for human rights, democratization and broad-based sustainable development efforts have interacted with market-oriented economic policies in the past three decades in Nigeria. This paper adopted the analytical method and relies on secondary data and utilizes the content analysis for interpretation of data collected. The paper concludes that It is very critical for senior public administrators and political leaders to make the civil service employees to act ethically, not only in times of crisis or scandal, but on an everyday basis as well. It is also imperative for consideration to be given to ethics in hiring, performance evaluation, and promotion decisions, and that, if the civil service mission includes ethical behavior, then it should be evaluated along with other competencies.

Abstract

Electricity supply situation in Nigeria can be best described as a total failure. It is highly insufficient and unavailable in some places regardless of the huge demand for its service. Successive administrations have voted huge amount of money to the power sector; yet, power outage is a commonplace in the country. It is on this background that this study examined the leading cause of the challenges in the Nigerian power sector over the years. To achieve this specific objective, the study finds it necessary to adopt historical research design and relied extensively on secondary sources of data through the survey of textbooks, journal publications, dailies and internet sources to gather relevant materials for the study. The study finds out that in spite of the policy reforms and funds allocated to the power sector by successive administrations in Nigeria, the sector is yet to be applauded for increase in power supply. In the face of the unending challenge of power outage in Nigeria, this study suggests among others that: the government should allocate sufficient funds to the sector and ensure that funds are utilised for the purposes of which they are allocated, experts in the area should be allowed to manage the sector, technical equipments should be adequately managed and replaced when necessary.

Abstract

Migration has changed over time in reaction to happenings and events around the world. The present surge in irregular migration was spurred by the absence of equitable social, political, and economic possibilities in many nations across the world. People are encouraged to go for better possibilities in other regions due to the unequal chances. This study therefore addressed the causes and trends of irregular migration in Nigeria with an emphasis on the push and pull variables that contribute to Nigerians' Japa syndrome. The collected data was analysed using the trend analysis approach, and the study employed a historical research design. This study concluded that migration is a means of pursuing greater possibilities abroad due to a chronic lack of work opportunities, income prospects, profitable employment, safety, and security, among other things. Fundamentally, economic opportunism that is, the enhancement of one's standard of living, the welfare of one's family, and other aspects that may guarantee the significance and relevance of the individual and their household contextualizes irregular migration in Nigeria. Since 2019, there has been a noticeable increase in the rate of migration abroad. Many young, bright, active, and industrious youths have been pushed to leave the country by these conditions, and this has resulted in the "Japa Syndrome or Japa Wave" in Nigeria.
