Abstract

The objective of this study is to empirically assess the tactics that the CBN of Nigeria has implemented as the key component of the new naira note policy. The research employed a survey design with a sample size of about fifty (50) responders, comprising accountants and auditors from ten (10) ministries chosen from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) of Abuja, Nigeria. At the 5% significant level, the hypotheses are tested using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The study's conclusions showed a strong association between forensic accounting and the litigation support service provided by Nigerian courts, as well as the effectiveness of forensic accounting in the country's public sector in identifying fraud. In a similar vein, the CBN of Nigeria uses techniques and policies that work well to stop fraud. Therefore, the study suggests that the public sector implement a continuous improvement in the internal control officers responsible for their acts. It should be mandatory for forensic accountants to receive the necessary training in forensic accounting techniques. In order to lower the prevalence of fraudulent activities in Nigeria, public sector employees should also embrace honesty, accountability, fairness, and objectivity as fundamental moral obligations. This study contributes to the existing literature by highlighting the critical role of forensic accounting in enhancing transparency and accountability within the Nigerian public sector, ultimately fostering a more robust financial environment.

Abstract

Over the years, there have been issues with the relationship between Nigeria's three levels of government. Numerous committees and commissions have been established, and suggestions have been made, but until the levels of government continue to clash over finances today. Being the third level of government, the local government has been hardest damaged, which has made it impossible for it to successfully perform its mandated duties. Because of this, this study looked at Nigerian local government performance and intergovernmental relations. The study used a survey design, with a focus on descriptive research. Focus groups and questionnaires were used to gather data. The Central Bank of Nigeria and government documents provided the secondary data. Among other things, the results showed that intergovernmental relations have somewhat eased tensions between Nigeria's three levels of government. Additionally, the 1999 constitution's flaws have hindered fiscal relationship among Nigeria's three levels of government. Among other things, the research suggested that efforts be made to guarantee that all levels of government follow the constitutional rules on budgetary relations, accountability, and openness.

Abstract

This paper's goal is to undertake a critical evaluation of Nigerian democracy's speed, practices, patterns, priorities, issues, and future. Although Nigeria is still run by democratically elected officials, after a century as a political entity, Nigeria has yet to institutionalize democracy at the federal and state levels. After more than 50 years of political independence, the study examines some of the challenges Nigeria faces in institutionalizing democracy. These include the nation's colonial past mixed with the whims of deeply ingrained ethnicity; a smug and extravagant leadership; the military's constant meddling in the democratic process; electoral fraud; widespread poverty; and a high rate of illiteracy. According to the publication, corruption is the main cause of most of the aforementioned issues and has essentially taken on a life of its own in Nigeria. However, the study argues that despite the aforementioned, there is still hope for a politically secure and democratically viable People's enthusiasm to vote, the multi-party system's relative stability and sustainability, and the widespread recognition that the only legitimate and well-liked path to gaining political power is through the voting booth are what define the nation. The historical approach of data analysis—simple descriptive collation and analysis of historical data—is used in this paper, which draws its data from primary and secondary source materials.

Abstract

President Goodluck Jonathan established the Presidential Committee on Rationalization and Restructuring of Federal Government Parastatals, Commissions, and Agencies in August 2011 in an effort to reduce the growing cost of government. The committee, led by Stephen Orosanye, the former Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, produced a report that included various recommendations, some of which have caused uncertainty and anxiety among government workers. The committee reviewed existing legislation and noted in the report that "Nigeria's average cost of governance is considered to be among the highest in the world." All branches of government must work diligently to reduce operating costs if the cost of governance is to be lowered. The report suggested reducing the 263 agencies to 161, with additional recommendations: 38 agencies should be abolished, 52 merged, and 14 transferred back to departments within relevant ministries. It is estimated that around 30,000 people work in these agencies and parastatals, though the exact figures vary. However, it is still unclear how the National Assembly will accept these proposals, given that most of these institutions were established by legislation. Orosanye’s Report has attracted more criticism than support, based on public opinion reflected in the media. The aim of this research is to investigate the impact of high governance costs on Nigeria's socioeconomic sectors.

Abstract

This essay was written to investigate why, in spite of the policies that the Nigerian government has put in place, poverty rates are still high. The main obstacle that every accountable and responsive government must overcome is Regardless matter whether the government is a military dictatorship or a democracy, it must improve and give greater meaning to the lives of its citizens if it is to remain relevant and legitimate in the eyes of the governed. Since independence, every succeeding administration has implemented some kind of plan to lessen the suffering of the populace and make them happy.Prior to and during the Structural Adjustment Program (SAP), it was noted that the majority of these programs were supply-driven, meaning they were unable to address the needs of the impoverished and, as a result, had little impact on reducing poverty. In order to reach the target poor, various programs that were introduced after SAP adopted a demand-driven strategy. The purpose of this study are (i) to critically analyze the several programs, reforms, and policies aimed at reducing poverty that have been implemented by Nigerian governments in succession, as well as the factors that contributed to their success or failure. (ii). expresses profoundly helpful measures that, if properly applied, would help the country escape its current poverty trap and put it on the correct path for sustainable economic development rather than just the steady economic progress it has seen over the years.

Abstract

These tests assessed the electorate's degree of disinterest in voting. It investigated the reasons behind voters' indifference to voting. It also established the voting remedies disinterest from the viewpoints of the voters and, lastly, investigated how factors including socioeconomic position, political party affiliations, and educational attainment affected the voters' degree of voting apathy. The survey research design was used in the study. Using a purposive sampling technique, 350 electorates from seven faculties at Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile-Ife made up the sample size. Before being used, a tool called the Voting Apathy Questionnaire (VAQ) was created and verified. Three hypotheses were investigated and confirmed, and three research questions were posed and addressed. Among other things, the results indicated that 50.3% of voters were indifferent to voting. Additionally, the degree of voting indifference among the electorate was significantly influenced by educational levels (² = 161.969a, p < 0.05). Rational Choice Theory was selected as the theoretical underpinning, and the study used both survey research design and secondary sources of data collection as information gathering techniques. The results showed that low levels of education and illiteracy are associated with poor political and voter education, particularly when it comes to the fact that the majority of voters (roughly 50%) fail to pick up their permanent voter cards and are therefore unable to be accredited to vote; that Nigerian politics is another factor, as it is known as a bitter and acrimonious politics; and that because elected officials have failed to fulfill their campaign promises, the electorate has lost faith in the government and finds it difficult to participate in the electoral process.

Abstract

This study examines the level of political participation among the populace and highlights the importance of elections as a key component of a democratic system. Scholars widely acknowledge that involvement in electoral processes serves as a primary indicator of how well a country has embraced the principle of social equality within the international framework. The study employed a mixed-method approach, utilizing both qualitative and quantitative techniques. The quantitative instrument used was the Political Participation Attitude Scale (PPAS), while qualitative data were collected through the Focus Group Guide on Political Participation (FGGPP). The research posed and addressed three core research questions. The findings reveal that 57% of respondents did not actively participate in political activities. Gender was found to influence levels of engagement; 30% of male respondents and 13% of female respondents reported active involvement in political activities, while 38% of males and 12% of females consistently participated in voting. Furthermore, the survey indicated that a majority of respondents (53%) lacked trust in their political leaders. Based on these findings, the study recommends that Nigeria urgently adopt both formal and informal political education strategies to enhance civic awareness and participation. Additionally, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is encouraged to develop mechanisms that will ensure broader voter turnout in the upcoming 2015 general elections.

Abstract

Intergovernmental relations and local government performance in Nigeria's Imo State were the subjects of this study. Secondary data was gathered by reviewing textbooks, journals, magazines, online resources, and published and unpublished materials. Primary data was gathered by administering questionnaires to 270 respondents, who were selected from a sample population of 30 employees from each of the nine (9) local governments, three of which were chosen from each senatorial zone. According to the report, intergovernmental connections make sure that the various governmental levels use human and material resources effectively and efficiently. In a true federalism, it fosters the development of cooperation rather than rivalry. However, local governments lack sufficient funds, particularly from the state government. The effectiveness of local government is impacted by the usage of Transition Committees, Caretaker Committees, and even Sole Administrators. The researcher suggested that in order to address the irregularities, local governments should have elected governing bodies, practice true federalism, apply the rule of law principle, have their constitutionally specified areas of jurisdiction, and grant local governments autonomy. All of the aforementioned will guarantee that Imo State's local governments operate effectively
