Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to evaluate the ambiguity and conflict characteristics of role stress variables capable of mediating a job transfer and official performance. Research methodology: This experimental research was conducted to obtain a causal relationship between the respondents in Lampung, Way Kanan Regency, and analyzed using the Anova method. Results: The results showed that officials' performance was significantly higher when experiencing low ambiguity, according to role and contingency theories. Furthermore, both attributes were lower when officials received high-frequency and did not mediate the relationship between job transfer and performance. Limitations: This research is limited to paper and pencil, which prevents participants from feeling the real situation. Contribution: This research implies that job transfers can be conducted according to the needs and conditions of the local government.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the dependability of non-political forums specifically considering the City Development Forums in Uganda. This investigation was motivated by the idea of City Development Forums being a known spectrum for Non-Political Forums to play a role in affairs otherwise affecting a City or Municipality. Research methodology: A Desk review method was adopted in which data was collected from obtainable resources specifically Publications, the Internet, Official Reports, etc., followed by cross-referencing and collation of data. Results: The outcomes reveal that a set of six principles inform City Development Forums, viz. shared accountability of every stakeholder in ensuring sustainable development; integrated planning framework for sustainable urban development; effective coordination among every urban stakeholder; local teamwork and networking; bottom-up broad-based stakeholder participatory consultations; and mobilization of resources for sustainable urban development. Limitations: This study adopted a review of secondary data yet if primary data were to be used, maybe, the results would have been different. Therefore, a different study can be conducted using primary data to determine whether these results hold sway and, if any, the justifications for the noticeable variances. Contribution: This study contributes to the understanding of local community development initiatives using the empowerment approach.

Abstract

Purpose: This work is an assessment of the relationship between media and security agencies in the Niger Delta region, Nigeria. The objectives were to assess reasons for frequent clashes between media and security agencies against press freedom while also suggesting measures of reducing face-offs. Research methodology: The research was a thorough opinion survey of 19,215,351 persons through a sample size of 400 persons in four states of the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. The states taken were Akwa Ibom, Delta, Cross River, and Rivers states. 400 questionnaires were distributed to residents for answers on the variables of the research. The social responsibility and media authoritarian theories were adopted in a theoretical framework. Results: The collated data from 375 persons representing 94 % against 25 persons or 6%, shows that the clash between media and the security agencies was very regular as security agencies noticeably enforce fear and intimidation at events. Limitations: The study was limited to only four states of Akwa Ibom, Delta, Cross River, and Rivers states out of nine states that make up the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. Contribution: The media and the security agencies should maintain practitioners’ regular training to keep abreast of democratic human rights and ethics in the discharge of duties. The present study will also theoretically contribute to the academic and theoretical richness as well as promote the culture and literature of social responsibility in the field of communication, governance, social civic service, and especially in the field of media literacy. It has effective significance and requisites.

Abstract

Purpose: The remote and immediate causes of the Nigerian civil war are rather deepening in the psyche of Ndi-Igbo in contemporary Nigerian politics and administration. Amidst the introduction of the Reconciliation, Reconstruction, and Rehabilitation (3Rs) policy over four (4) decades ago, the Ndi-Igbo are not just marginalized but alienated and separated from political power and its benefits in an ethnically and religiously deeply divided federation. More divesting wounds are flagrantly being inflicted upon the Igbo nation. The course pursued by secessionist Biafra between 1967-70 has continued to resonate in Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) and Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). This paper thus seeks to dissect the activities of IPOB in relation to national security in Nigeria. It also attempts a polemical analysis of IPOB as a separatist movement and the implications for the integration of Ndi-Igbo into the mainstream of Nigerian power politics. Research methodology: The paper adopts a qualitative research approach using an in-depth review of extant literature for informed comprehension of the dynamics of secession and unification in a deeply divided federal state of Nigeria. Using a theory of Secession: The Case for Political Self-Determination, the paper submits that treatments being meted out to the people of Igbo nation are compelling to separation. Results: It surmised that Ndi-Igbo is systematically sidelined and alienated from major political positions and that the allocation of key values is skewed against the Igbo nation. It thus recommends significant devolution of powers to foster an all-inclusive and participatory governance model. Recommendations: It also recommends the adoption and implementation of a balanced federalist accommodative principle for national cohesion, integration, and development of the Nigeria state.

Abstract

Purpose: The restructuring of Nigeria towards the path of true federalism is a clarion call for good governance in the federation. It is argued that the enhanced performance of governmental agencies in any federation is a product of good governance, which in turn leads to peace, security, and development in the living standard of the people. The main objective of this paper is to examine good governance as a catalyst of true federalism in Nigeria. Research methodology: The paper employs a qualitative methodology that heavily relies on secondary sources of data. Results: In line with the findings, Nigeria's route to true federalism is being hampered by a variety of challenges which include but are not limited to weak leadership, corruption, flawed electoral procedures, an uneven distribution of resources, and a lack of security of lives and properties. Limitations: The study covers only Nigeria and may not be appropriate to generalize the findings to other countries practicing federalism. Contributions: The study contributes to knowledge as it examines the impact of good governance as an earmark of distinctive federalism in Nigeria federation, which has not been adequately discussed in numerous works on federalism. It recommended that good governance that encompasses accountability, prudent financial management, and an improved judicial system backed up with adequate security of life and property.
