Abstract

 Nigeria’s infrastructure deficit has made external financing pivotal to its development trajectory, with China emerging as a dominant partner through loans, investments, and the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). This paper critically re-examines China-Nigeria infrastructure financing through the theoretical lenses of dependency theory and globalisation theory, exploring how structural asymmetries and global economic integration shape Nigeria’s development outcomes. Using a qualitative research design and documentary analysis, the study interrogates policy documents, institutional reports, and academic literature to evaluate the implications of Chinese-funded rail, power, and ICT projects. Findings reveal that while Chinese financing has expanded Nigeria’s infrastructural capacity and regional connectivity, it also reinforces structural vulnerabilities, including debt dependence, limited technology transfer, and weak local content participation. From a dependency perspective, these patterns reproduce unequal relations in the global capitalist system. Conversely, globalisation theory situates Nigeria’s engagement within a shifting multipolar order in which China’s growing influence redefines norms for South-South cooperation and development financing. The study concludes that Nigeria’s experience is neither purely exploitative nor wholly transformative but a negotiated outcome of global structural forces and domestic agency. It argues for a strategic rethinking of financing models centred on transparency, institutional accountability, and diversified funding sources. By recalibrating its engagement with China, Nigeria can transform infrastructure partnerships from mechanisms of dependency into instruments of industrialisation, economic sovereignty, and sustainable development in an era of global economic interdependence.

Abstract

Innovation in agriculture and the pursuit of sustainable food security are vital concerns for all modern societies. In this context, the present study conducted an empirical investigation to assess the relationship between agricultural innovation and sustainable food security in Nigeria’s South–South geopolitical zone. A cross-sectional research design was adopted, and data were gathered through a survey administered to 300 respondents across the region. The data were analysed using linear regression and the Pearson product–moment correlation, with the assistance of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23. The findings revealed a strong and positive association between agricultural innovation and sustainable food security in the South–South zone. As anticipated, the study further showed that agricultural innovation exerts a favourable and statistically significant influence on sustainable food security in the area. It also explored the implications of food security for Nigeria’s national security. Overall, the results suggest that agricultural innovation plays a crucial role in achieving sustainable food security globally. Consequently, the study recommends, among other measures, that both federal and state governments in Nigeria should strengthen agricultural research and capacity building through the use of modern technologies, with a view to boosting agricultural productivity and enhancing food security nationwide.

Abstract

Policy agenda setting is a crucial component of the policy-making process, as it determines which public issues are brought to the forefront of government attention and how they are prioritised. In a nation as ethnically diverse and politically intricate as Nigeria, this stage is frequently influenced by competing regional interests, fragile institutional structures, and fluctuating political commitment. This study explores the relationship between public policy agenda setting and ethnoreligious consciousness in Nigeria. Using the Multiple Streams Framework as its analytical lens, the study demonstrates how political, social, and institutional forces obstruct the development of a unified national agenda, leading to disjointed policies and slow responses to societal challenges. Employing a qualitative research design, the study analysed collected data using thematic content analysis. The findings reveal that the interplay of power, perception, influence, and proximity in political mobilisation and policy development significantly affects how ethnicity and religion intersect, frequently reducing broader historical and geopolitical issues to ethnic confrontation. The study concludes that the intentional use of ethnic consciousness by political actors, invoking shared group identities during national debates, lies at the core of many instances of ineffective policy-making in present-day Nigeria. It further underscores the need for stronger institutions, inclusive governance practices, and improved civic participation to ensure that policy agendas reflect the broader national interest.
