Abstract

The study looks at how elections in Nigeria and other countries set the stage for political succession. They once gave dishonest people and organizations the chance to carry out crimes of rigging to harm the electorate and other competitors. Stakeholders and the electorate are marginalized by unchecked manipulation, which results in their losing the election or having their votes stolen or canceled, all without their fault. This was the case prior to the introduction of smart card readers and permanent voter cards. The use of technology in Nigerian elections made it very difficult for results to be altered, either by dishonest people or by changing figures in an arbitrary and fraudulent manner. This electronic device is very difficult to copy or compromise due to its transparent application and built-in security mechanisms. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the reasons why the smart card reader was necessary, the arguments against its usage, and its effectiveness in the 2015 presidential elections, as well as the possibility of more elections in the future.

Abstract

In a subset of the Federal Capital Authority (FCDA) Civil Service, the study aims to examine the relationship between job satisfaction, retention, and employee salary. Civil Service, Capital Authority (FCDA) are established by the manner in which employees receive compensation and rewards. Two goals were employed, and two hypotheses were developed to direct the investigation. The research design utilized in the study was a descriptive survey. The 400 Federal Capital Authority (FCDA) Civil Service members were chosen as the population. The study's findings indicate that employee retention significantly affects the Federal Capital Authority (FCDA) Civil Service [F (1, 398) = 11.287; p<0.01] and that job satisfaction and employee compensation are significantly correlated among the FCDA Civil Service [r (398) = -.123: p<0.01]. It was determined that, similar to other nations, the Federal Capital Authority (FCDA) Civil Service in Nigeria acts as the pivot for economic growth; managers of the FCDA Civil Service face several difficulties. They struggle with a high employee turnover rate and discover that their staff members are quitting them without warning on a daily basis. According to the report, the Federal Capital Authority (FCDA) Civil Service management should pay its personnel appropriately for the position they have so that they can carry out their leadership duties successfully and efficiently. All of these suggestions will improve employee performance, which will improve the performance of the organization as a whole. The Federal Capital Authority (FCDA) Civil Service should promote more employee relationships and interpersonal interactions.

The ex-post facto method of design was the research design employed in this study. With GDP as the dependent variable and multilateral debt, Paris Club debt, London Club debt, promissory notes, and other debt as the independent variables, the findings were analyzed using the ordinary least square multiple regression analytical approach. The hypotheses were tested using the Pearson correlation and the student T-test. All types of external indebtedness contributed to the GDP's development, according to the data analysis, the Pearson While the dependent variable had a direct link with the other independent variables, GDP had an inverse association with Paris Club debt and promissory notes, as described by correlation. In order to reject the null hypotheses and accept the alternative hypotheses, the tested hypotheses showed that each independent variable had a positive influence and was significant to the effect of the dependent variable. According to the study's findings, Nigeria's economic growth is significantly impacted by external debt, and as a result, better management of these borrowings is advised in order to achieve sustainable growth.

Abstract

The study looked into how Nigeria's democratic system's economic growth was impacted by the cost of governance. The cost of governance factors is divided into general GDP was the dependent variable and a stand-in for economic growth, while administration, defense, internal security, and national assembly were the explanatory variables. The study examined Nigeria's fourth republic's civil rule from 2019 to 2024. Ordinary Least Square regression and diagnostic tests were performed. The findings indicate that while internal security (-106.17 ISEC) has a negative impact on GDP, general administration (8.67 GA), defense (169.99 DEF), and national assembly (496.50 NAS) have favorable effects. According to the hypotheses' summary, (1) the federal government's expenditure on general administrations has no discernible positive impact on Nigeria's economic growth; (2) the federal government's expenditure on defense has a discernible positive impact on Nigeria's economic growth; and (3) the federal government's expenditure on internal Nigeria's economic growth is significantly impacted negatively by security, whereas the country's economic growth is significantly impacted positively by the federal government's national assembly costs. The research suggested, among other things, that the funds allocated to internal security be examined and that cost-benefit studies be performed on the parastatals that receive the funds.

Abstract

Nigeria's economy has been severely stagnant since the 1980s. Afrocentric literature charts the nation's history, whereas Eurocentric literature identifies the Nigerian civil war and the corrupt practices of its leaders as the primary cause economic hardships to her historical colonial dominance and economic exploitation activities. However, none of the aforementioned reasons provide stronger support for being the cause of the nation's economic dysfunction, particularly when contrasted with IMF measures implemented there. The IMF's policies on Nigeria's Structural Adjustment Program (SAP) and its Loan Conditionality are partially shown in this article to be "the crux impediment facing the country." As a result, the paper makes the case that, among other mismanagement policies, General Ibrahim Babangida's acceptance of IMF loans contributed to the nation's economic problems and backwardness. Using primary and secondary sources, the study makes the argument that its riches would be restored by a more inclusive economic system free of the current extractive economic practices.

Abstract

It is well known that the fiscal federalism pattern that the military imposed on the country disregards the source of money and productivity. This study assessed Nigeria's fiscal federalism. in an effort to pinpoint the trouble spots. The survey research approach was used. The Z-test was used to assess the data gathered from the questionnaire. The results showed that the government-appointed commissions' recommendations on fiscal federalism had little effect on the economy because of a number of issues, including the 1999 constitution's flaws and the numerous issues with fiscal federalism that have resulted in the duplication of government operations and the waste of public funds. Nonetheless, among other things, it is advised that public officials follow the Nigerian fiscal responsibility bill and due process in order to guarantee an effective and sound fiscal federalism in Nigeria. Furthermore, it is important to make sure that all levels of government follow the constitutional provisions on budgetary relations, accountability, and transparency. Establishing a National Fiscal Commission is also advised in order to improve intergovernmental cooperation and understanding in ways that encourage communication between actors in the federal, state, and municipal governments.

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

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.
