Abstract

Poverty is, no doubt, a social phenomenon that cuts across all races, tribes and countries of the world. Where the difference lies is in the varying degrees of poverty in comparative terms, from one country to another. Particularly, the staggering level of poverty in Nigeria is a pointer to perilous times ahead, factoring in the dominant concepts of globalization and liberalization in global economics. The international poverty line was increased from $1 to $1.90 in September 2015, inadvertently pushing more Nigerians below poverty line. The extreme level of poverty in Nigeria is attributable to factors such as bad governance, unequal distribution of the nation's wealth, unemployment, injustice and marginalization, corruption, lack of education, among others. This study adopts structural-functionalism as the analytical framework to examine the effects of various interventions by international civil society organizations in Nigeria, on the level of poverty and the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In addition, the qualitative method is used to collect data while content analysis was applied on data gathered through secondary method. The study observes that, for the level of poverty to reduce drastically in Nigeria, there is need for good and effective leadership, strong institutions, as well as public-private partnership in public delivery.

Abstract

Despite the capability of public cemeteries to accommodate deviant behaviour, it has not formed an item of analysis in understanding insecurity in residential areas in South-West, Nigeria. The study identified the forms of security threats public cemeteries pose for residents in South-West, Nigeria; examined the management of public cemeteries in South-West, Nigeria; and reviewed residents’ roles in cemetery security in South-West, Nigeria. The study was guided by the assumption that a public cemetery is not a security threat to residents in Nigeria. The theoretical framework adopted and applied to the study is the Broken Windows Theory. The theory was adopted and applied to the study from the perspective that neighbourhood challenges are not promptly and properly addressed, such as the activities of deviant persons in cemeteries lead to more neighbourhood challenges. The study noted that public cemetery implies environmental abuse, security threats, physical abuse, and health challenges to residents. Public cemeteries are poorly managed, resulting from poor funding. Residents’ role in the protection of public cemeteries has been identified to include complaints and praise to the appropriate authority. Hence, the assumption of the study that a public cemetery is not a threat is valid because it is the management failure of the facility that informs the possible threat it poses to residents. The study recommended that prompt attention should be paid to the management of public cemeteries wherever located. Also, residents should be empowered to protect public cemeteries in their respective areas.

Abstract

The Nigerian government’s planned resuscitation of fossil fuel refineries is expected to impact the country’s clean energy transition plan by influencing public acceptance of that policy. It remains unclear how the government will bridge this gap between fossil fuel revival and clean energy commitments. This study examines the drivers behind Nigeria’s refinery resuscitation policy and the policy’s implications for the nation’s clean energy transition. The analysis is grounded in Choice Theory, operating on the premise that behavior (including policy decisions) originates from within and is driven by attempts to satisfy basic needs, meaning policymakers choose their actions based on those needs[1]. The research method is a semi-systematic review (SSR), for which 20 peer-reviewed journal articles (published 2015–2024) were purposively selected. The findings indicate that several factors sustaining fossil fuel use globally are encouraging Nigeria’s refinery revival. These factors include the persistent international market demand for fossil fuels, the perceived non-substitutability of fossil fuels in economic and military contexts, supportive government policies, and the state’s failure to secure sufficient clean energy investment. Reviving refineries implies a continued supply of and demand for fossil fuels as primary energy sources in the near term. The study concludes that each country should contextualize its energy transition strategy according to its unique circumstances.
