Abstract

This study examined the impact of Public–Private Partnerships (PPPs) on infrastructure development in transportation, energy, information technology, health, and education sectors in Edo, Delta, and Rivers States, Nigeria. It was motivated by persistent infrastructure deficits and assessed PPPs as a strategy for sustainable development and improved service delivery. A cross-sectional survey design was adopted, with data collected through structured questionnaires administered to 400 respondents selected across the three states. The study was guided by Public Choice Theory and Resource Dependency Theory, which explain private sector participation in public service delivery and the benefits of interdependence between public and private actors. Data were analyzed using Spearman’s correlation and simple linear regression. Findings revealed that PPPs had a positive and significant effect on infrastructure development across all examined sectors. In transportation, PPPs improved road construction and maintenance, enhancing mobility and access. In the energy sector, they supported the expansion and modernization of electricity infrastructure, improving supply for domestic and industrial use. In information technology, PPPs facilitated broadband expansion and digital service delivery, promoting innovation and connectivity. In health and education, PPP projects contributed to the construction and renovation of hospitals, clinics, and schools, thereby improving access to essential services. The study concludes that PPPs are an effective mechanism for addressing Nigeria’s infrastructure deficits, particularly where public funding is limited. It recommends strengthening regulatory and institutional frameworks, especially in the transport sector, to ensure transparent procurement, accountability, and improved private sector participation for sustainable infrastructure development.

Abstract

This study examined the role of entrepreneurial mindset and innovation in enhancing students’ growth and engagement, focusing on higher education in Nigeria. Using a qualitative content analysis of 25 peer-reviewed papers published between 2015 and 2025, the study applied the PRISMA framework to ensure rigor and relevance. Findings revealed that an entrepreneurial mindset improved self-efficacy, motivation, and persistence, while innovation fostered creativity, problem-solving, and active engagement in learning. Importantly, the combined effect of mindset and innovation produced synergistic outcomes that significantly enhanced student growth and preparedness for post-graduation challenges. The study concludes that embedding entrepreneurial and innovative practices into university curricula is essential for addressing Nigeria’s educational and socio-economic gaps. Policy recommendations call for mandatory entrepreneurship-innovation modules, curriculum reforms, and institutional funding support to ensure sustainable student engagement and national development.

Abstract

One of the problems of contemporary human society is the problem of class struggle and the inherent contradictions that are inherent in socio-economic and political society. Marx attempts to address the contemporary issues of class struggle. There are certain concepts that are closely associated with Marx’s political economy such as class struggle, alienation, historical materialism, dialectical materialism, and political economy. Marx’s conception of political economy cuts across his ideological reconstruction and theoretical templates of politics, religion, law, literature, the state, ideology, and culture. The objective of this paper is to reveal that Marx’s conceptualization of society reveals the theory of class struggle, theory of revolution, theory of political economy and the theory of history. This paper is robust, timely and imperative because it reveals the interconnectedness between political reality and economic reality. Marx’s conception of political economy reveals the critical importance of human liberation and emancipation from the shackles of poverty and alienation. Marx could be referred to as a social emancipator because he vehemently believes in the socio-economic and the political freedom of the individuals in society. This paper adopts the method of analysis and hermeneutical methodology in discussing the interconnectedness between political reality and economic reality in Marx’s theoretical reconstruction. Findings, however, revealed that Marx’s conception of political economy is a practical demonstration of human condition and socio-economic and political existence. This paper, however, concludes that Marx’s conception of society with regards to his theoretical reconstruction on political economy aims at addressing the fundamental problems of humanity.

Abstract

This study examined community-based approaches to tackling insecurity in Nigeria within the country’s prevailing socio-economic, political, and institutional contexts. It was prompted by the persistent escalation of insecurity, including kidnapping, banditry, insurgency, and communal conflicts, despite sustained efforts by state security agencies. The study is grounded in the Routine Activity Theory, which posits that crime occurs when a motivated offender, a suitable target, and the absence of a capable guardian converge in time and space. The study adopted the historical research design and relied on secondary sources of data, including textbooks, journal articles, government publications, policy documents, and credible online materials. Content analysis was employed to systematically examine and interpret the data through thematic categorization. Findings revealed that insecurity in Nigeria is driven by interrelated socio-economic and governance factors such as poverty, unemployment, weak institutional frameworks, corruption, and inadequate security capacity. It was also established that state-centered security strategies alone are insufficient, as they are constrained by limited manpower, weak intelligence systems, and declining public trust. The study further found that community-based security approaches, such as vigilante groups, neighborhood watch systems, and community policing, serve as important complementary mechanisms by enhancing surveillance, improving intelligence sharing, and strengthening rapid response to security threats. However, their effectiveness is limited by challenges such as weak regulation, inadequate training, and human rights concerns. The study concludes that a sustainable security framework in Nigeria requires an integrated approach that combines effective state institutions with well-structured and accountable community participation.

Abstract

This study examined the political economy of terrorism in Nigeria, focusing on the Boko Haram insurgency through the lenses of Relative Deprivation Theory and Frustration–Aggression Theory. The study investigated the factors responsible for the emergence and persistence of Boko Haram, its socio-economic and governance implications, and the effectiveness of Nigeria’s counter-terrorism strategies. A qualitative research design was adopted, relying on secondary data obtained from journal articles, textbooks, policy reports, and relevant online sources. Findings revealed that Boko Haram’s rise is closely linked to widespread poverty, unemployment, corruption, weak governance, political exclusion, and regional inequalities in northern Nigeria. These conditions created feelings of deprivation, marginalization, and frustration among affected populations, thereby facilitating recruitment into extremist movements. The study further found that the insurgency has significantly undermined socio-economic development through the destruction of infrastructure, disruption of education and economic activities, mass displacement, humanitarian crises, and weakened state institutions, particularly in the North-East region. These consequences have deepened existing inequalities and reinforced cycles of poverty and insecurity. The study also revealed that although Nigeria’s counter-terrorism efforts have recorded some military successes in reducing Boko Haram’s territorial control and operational capacity, they have largely failed to address the underlying structural drivers of the insurgency. Consequently, Boko Haram has continued to persist in various adaptive forms. The study concluded that Boko Haram represents not only a security threat but also a manifestation of deeper socio-economic and governance challenges. It recommended, among others, targeted poverty reduction programmes, youth empowerment initiatives, improved access to education and vocational training, and strengthened governance reforms to address the root causes of terrorism and promote sustainable peace and development in Nigeria.

Abstract

This study examined the influence of civil society, public opinion, the media, and institutional actors on Nigeria’s foreign policy in the Fourth Republic using liberal democratic theory as its analytical framework. Liberal democratic theory emphasizes citizen participation, accountability, transparency, and responsiveness in public policy formulation, including foreign policy. The study investigates the extent to which Nigeria’s foreign policy process reflects these democratic principles in practice. A qualitative research design was adopted, relying on secondary sources such as scholarly books, peer-reviewed journal articles, and policy documents. Data were analyzed through content analysis, focusing on themes of civil society engagement, media influence, legislative oversight, elite decision-making, and public participation in foreign policy. Findings reveal that despite Nigeria’s democratic governance structure, foreign policy formulation remains largely executive-driven and elite-dominated, limiting broad public participation. However, democratic consolidation since 1999 has created opportunities for increased involvement by non-state actors. Civil society organizations have become more active in advocating for human rights, governance reforms, and peacebuilding initiatives, while traditional and digital media platforms have enhanced public awareness and discourse on foreign policy issues. Legislative institutions have also sought to exercise oversight, though their influence remains limited. The study further identifies persistent challenges, including weak mechanisms for incorporating public opinion, inadequate transparency, and the continued concentration of foreign policy authority within the executive branch. It concludes that Nigeria’s foreign policy is gradually evolving toward a more participatory model but has yet to fully align with liberal democratic ideals. The study recommends, among others, strengthening public consultation mechanisms, enhancing legislative oversight, and promoting greater transparency in foreign policy decision-making.

Abstract

This study examined the determinants of public opinion and their influence on foreign policy decision-making in Nigeria. The relationship between public opinion and foreign policy has long generated debate among scholars, particularly between realist perspectives that downplay public influence and contemporary approaches that recognize citizens as critical actors in democratic governance. Against this backdrop, the study investigates how various socio-political, economic, and communication-related factors shape public opinion and how such opinion, in turn, affects Nigeria’s foreign policy outcomes. Anchored on constructivist theory, the research emphasizes the role of socially constructed beliefs, norms, and identities in shaping both public perceptions and state behavior in the international system. The study adopted historical research design and utilizes qualitative methods, relying primarily on document analysis of government publications, policy statements, media reports, and scholarly materials. Data were analyzed using discourse and content analysis to uncover patterns, themes, and the interplay between public sentiment and policy decisions over time. Findings indicate that key determinants of public opinion in Nigeria include media influence, social media engagement, elite cues, economic conditions, identity factors, education, and national security concerns. These factors collectively shape citizens’ perceptions and exert varying degrees of pressure on policymakers. The study concluded that although Nigeria’s foreign policy process has historically been elite-driven, the growing influence of public opinion, especially through digital media and democratization, has made it increasingly difficult for policymakers to ignore domestic sentiment. It recommended greater institutional inclusion of public perspectives in foreign policy formulation to enhance legitimacy, accountability, and policy effectiveness.

Abstract

This thesis critically examines the role of external actors in managing the rivalry between Israel and Iran from 2015 to 2025. The study is guided by four key objectives: to assess the extent to which external interventions have succeeded or failed in managing escalation; to analyze the strategies employed by external actors in conflict management; to evaluate the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) as a tool of conflict management; and to examine the broader lessons the Israel–Iran rivalry provides for international conflict management. The study adopts a qualitative research design, relying on documentary analysis of policy documents, official reports, international treaties, and relevant scholarly literature. Theoretical analysis is informed by realist theory, which helps explain the strategic behaviour of both regional and external actors within the rivalry. The qualitative approach is considered appropriate as it allows for an in-depth understanding of meanings, patterns, and relationships embedded in international conflict dynamics, rather than numerical measurement of variables. Findings reveal that the Israel–Iran rivalry between 2015 and 2025 has been sustained through proxy warfare, targeted military strikes, cyber operations, and diplomatic containment strategies. Iran’s approach is largely anchored on the use of non-state allies across Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen, while Israel relies on intelligence operations, precision airstrikes, and the disruption of Iranian regional influence. Despite persistent tensions, both states have largely avoided full-scale war through deterrence and calibrated escalation. The study further finds that external interventions have produced mixed outcomes, as they have contributed to both temporary de-escalation and unintended escalation. The continued expansion of proxy networks, technological advancements in warfare, and shifting regional alliances increase the risk of miscalculation and potential escalation into open conflict. The study recommends that foreign interventions should prioritize the strengthening of regional security dialogue frameworks involving Gulf Cooperation Council states, Turkey, and other regional stakeholders. An inclusive regional security architecture would help reduce bilateral tensions and distribute responsibility for conflict management more effectively.

Abstract

This study examined Local Government Administration in Nigeria: Prospects and Challenges using a historical research design supported by content analysis of relevant secondary sources, including textbooks, journal articles, policy documents, and constitutional provisions. The study was anchored on the need to critically assess the evolution, performance, and constraints of local government administration in Nigeria within the context of decentralization and grassroots development. Findings revealed that local government administration in Nigeria has undergone significant historical transformations, particularly from the colonial era through the 1976 Local Government Reform and the 1999 Constitution, which formally recognized it as the third tier of government. Despite these developments, the system has continued to face persistent challenges such as financial dependence, political interference from state governments, corruption, weak administrative capacity, and inadequate citizen participation. The study also identified emerging prospects, including democratic deepening, improved service delivery through decentralization reforms, increased civic engagement, and the adoption of digital governance tools. It concluded that although local governments in Nigeria possess strong potential for grassroots development and democratic consolidation, their effectiveness remains constrained by structural and institutional weaknesses. The study recommended, among others, that the Federal Government should ensure genuine financial and administrative autonomy for local governments by enforcing constitutional provisions and reducing undue interference from state governments. This will enable local councils to manage their resources effectively and deliver development projects efficiently.
