Abstract

Purpose: This study evaluates the impact of indirect compensation on employee job performance by the Enugu State Civil Service Commission. Research Methodology: This study employed a cross-sectional survey research design with a population of 280 participants, comprising staff from the Administration, Planning and Budgeting, and Research & Statistics Units, spanning grade levels 2-16 within the Enugu State Civil Service Commission. Data were collected using a questionnaire as the primary tool and rigorously analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient in the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23. Results: The findings revealed a significant positive impact of indirect compensation metrics on employee performance of the Enugu State Civil Service Commission. Limitations: The study specifically targeted personnel within grade levels 2-16 of the Enugu State Civil Service Commission. Contribution: This research significantly advances our understanding of indirect compensation and its impact on employee performance by pioneering new concepts, refining existing theories, and conducting comprehensive empirical studies. Funding: This research did not receive any funding from any Agency or Organization.

Abstract

Purpose: This study explores the current state of artificial intelligence implementation in Nigeria’s public service and the potential benefits, challenges, and strategic steps needed to harness AI for improved governance and service delivery. Methods: The research design was qualitative. The data were collected using secondary data collection, in which a thorough literature review of academic articles, books, and reports related to AI was consulted. This study applied a thematic research approach to clarify the underlying issues, beliefs, and experiences related to artificial intelligence in governance and public services. The study was also anchored to content analysis. Results: The findings revealed that AI application in Nigeria’s public service is still in its early stages, with promising developments in areas such as e-governance, healthcare, banking sector, real estate business, and law enforcement/security outfits. There is a need for the government in Nigeria to invest significantly in infrastructural advancement and human capital development, which in turn will close the skill gaps, infrastructural deficits, and lapses that crop up from the unawareness of Artificial Intelligence in the technological advancement of Nigeria. Limitations: This study examined the current state of AI in Nigeria's public services and governance by identifying the key barriers that affect the adoption and implementation of AI. The study made progressive recommendations that integrated the application of artificial intelligence in public services and governance in Nigeria. Contributions: This study provides a comprehensive understanding of how AI can be adopted in Nigeria’s unique environment. Findings: This study did not receive any funding from any agency or organization.

Abstract

Purpose: This study explores the role of the agri-industrial sector in stabilizing the Nigerian economy, focusing on investment trends, policy frameworks, and rural transformation. Research Methodology: This study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining surveys and key informant interviews across six geopolitical zones to analyze the effects of agri-industrial interventions on GDP growth, employment, and inflation control. Results: The findings suggest that robust investment in agricultural processing and infrastructure is correlated with enhanced economic stability; however, bottlenecks in policy implementation and rural financing persist. The study concludes with pragmatic recommendations for building a resilient post-oil Nigerian economy through modernizing agribusiness. Conclusions: The study concludes that agri-industrialization represents a viable and strategic pathway towards achieving Nigeria’s long-sought economic diversification and post-oil stability. Limitations: Despite significant research on agricultural production and policy in Nigeria, there is a notable lack of longitudinal empirical studies assessing how agri-industrial strategies implemented between 2021 and 2026 contribute to economic diversification and macroeconomic stability. This gap is particularly evident in areas such as value chain integration, governance effectiveness, private sector participation and regional variations. To address this gap, this study employed a comprehensive analysis to link policy implementation with measurable outcomes in economic diversification and stability during the specified period. Contributions: This study offers insights into the framework and strategies that can be adopted in agri-industrialization in Nigeria for the agricultural sector’s transformational and economic stability.
