Abstract

This study examined human security situation and state police establishment contention in Nigeria. This theoretical paper draws its arguments primarily from secondary sources of data, such as journal publications and textbooks. The study concluded that the capacity of the Police is further reduced due to the deployment of a good number of policemen to undertake guard duties and private security services for the rich and affluent in the society. Perhaps, the greatest impediment to police effectiveness in Nigeria remains corruption. The limited funds meant for security and other developmental purposes are diverted by those responsible for their utilization. This creates an unending vicious cycle of poverty, deprivation, greed, exploitation, unemployment and general underdevelopment that culminates in weakening the capacity of government to provide social services, fund security ultimately undermining national security. This study recommended a reform which would pave way for state police formations and give power to state governors over the police contingents in their states.

Abstract

This paper examines the ripple effects of flooding on the roles and economic activities of women in Isoko- Nation, flood-prone areas that exhibit low-lying plain that resides on the coaster region of Delta State. The region attracts high population due to flooding fluvial deposits on the flood plains that serve as fertilizer to boost agricultural activities of the people. Consequent upon this, the socioeconomic development of the region is facing reversing years of progress, socially and economically in response to the rippling effects thus crippling effective and sustainable role of the women. The situation is worsened by lack of infrastructural facilities to encourage alternative income earning activities. And the dearth of the women socio-economic status means the dearth of socio-economic development of the region therefore the need to severe the women from the rippling flood effects is vital to the sustainable development of the region. Therefore the paper discussed the implications of the downgrading and reversed economic activities of the women on the sustainable development in the region and noted that though the annual flooding occurrence in the region cannot be completely eliminated however the associated disasters can be mitigated and the rippling effects reduced. The paper recommends that a proper understanding of the season and dynamic climatic trends of the region will create conscious knowledge on the mitigation strategies to reduce the unprecedented effect of incessant flooding and ginger the effort of the government to fulfill its commitment of improving the quality of lives and standard of living in Isoko-nation. The study substantiate that provision of infrastructure would energize the women whose socio-economic status is on the decline to embrace alternative source of income that would revive their hope and faith in the economy of the region.

Abstract

Despite the benefits of work-life balance and the large number for studies it has motivated in developed nations, relatively little studies have been done on how it affects organisational commitment in Nigeria. This is because Nigerian businesses are known for endorsing unstable working environments and unethical workplace standards at the expense of the wider public. In light of this, this study examined the connections between organisational commitment and work-life balance in the Tin Can Island Port terminals in Lagos State. Purposive sampling was used in conjunction with the cross-sectional approach. The work enrichment theory served as the study's theoretical framework, and a questionnaire with 389 respondents was used as the research instrument. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 23 was used to analyse the data using percentages, mean, standard deviation, Pearson's coefficient of correlation, and both linear and multiple regression analysis. The study's conclusions demonstrated how employees' affective, continuance, and normative commitments were impacted by work-life balance in Tin Can Island Port, Lagos State. The study came to the conclusion that employees' commitment to their organisation as well as their personal lives, are impacted by an inadequate work-life balance. Based on the study's findings and conclusion, the management of Tin Can Island Port should, among other things, develop and successfully apply flexible work schedules to help staff members manage and lessen the conflicts they encounter in their personal lives.
