School food politics in Africa
Free school meals can be a transformative social policy instrument, especially in the Global South. Domestically sourced school feeding programs can improve children’s food security, augment household incomes, incentivize school attendance, and support local agricultural production. Scholars have so far paid only limited attention to the political causes and processes behind school feeding programs. To contribute to a better understanding of scho…
Natural resource conflicts and innovation in Nigeria’s Niger Delta
Several studies on the Niger Delta have focused on the effects of oil production on the environment and conflicts associated with the mismanagement of oil revenue. However, inadequate attention has been given to a positive outcome of the conflict: the link between conflict in the region and the development of indigenous innovative strategies for petroleum refining. This briefing therefore utilises primary and secondary data to examine how conflic…
Modern concept of peacebuilding and the idea of peacebuilding in Igbo pre-colonial society in Africa
Several studies have examined and applied the concept of peacebuilding in different contexts. A careful examination of these studies revealed that adequate attention has not been given to an examination of the modern concept of peacebuilding vis a vis the idea of peacebuilding in Igbo pre-colonial society in Africa. With the aid of secondary data and historical descriptive approach, this article seeks to contribute to the literature on peacebuild…

Human Rights Violations and Transitional Justice in Nigeria's Niger Delta during Civilian Rule
Human rights violations and violent conflicts in the Niger Delta of Nigeria have elicited interest from scholars and international agencies. Although studies provide significant insights into the conflicts in the Niger Delta, the issue of transitional justice has not been adequately considered. This article examines human rights violations and transitional justice in the Niger Delta. It begins with the conceptualization of human rights violations…

The Rise of the American Conservation Movement is a well-written book that focuses on the activism of the elites behind the rise of the American conservation movement. It describes the movement of
Exclusion and Peacebuilding in the Niger Delta of Nigeria
After almost two decades of militarisation and military action as well as protests, violence and armed resistance in which civil society, communities and militants played vanguard roles, the Niger Delta entered a new historical period as of October 2009. Based on the Federal Government's promise to address problems of the Niger Delta as part of a seven-point agenda, militants in the region accepted a federal amnesty, pursuing disarmament and a ce…
African solutions to African problems and the Ebola virus disease in Nigeria
Africa grapples with the world's most serious public health crisis, but this article shows that there are public health solutions that work in the African setting. When the Ebola virus disease outbreak was announced in Nigeria in July 2014, some public health specialists worried that an apocalyptic outbreak would sweep through the vast slums of Lagos. The words “Ebola” and “Lagos” in the same sentence were viewed as a dangerous combination, due t…

Democracy and Inequality in Nigeria
Increasing inequality in Nigeria has been of growing interest to scholars, international political observers, and the Nigerian public since the creation of the country in 1914 by the British colonial masters. The focus of this article is on the extent to which the practice of democracy in Nigeria’s Fourth Republic has contributed to the reduction of inequality. The article begins with the dimensions of inequality in Nigeria. The study shows that …
Poverty and Social Protection in Nigeria
Nigeria like most other African countries has responded to the growing challenge of poverty by introducing social protection strategies. Despite the rising popularity of social protection as an anti-poverty intervention throughout Africa, social protection is still inadequate in Nigeria. This article examines major social protection arrangements in Nigeria and challenges associated with them. The article begins by providing a general perspective …
Governance and environmental inequality in Nigeria
This paper examines the role of governance in environmental inequality in the Niger Delta. Fair access to environmental resources could help to guarantee human security and mitigate violence. Root causes of environmental inequality in Nigeria’s Niger Delta can be linked to government policies and laws such as the Land Use Act and the negative impacts of the activities of multinational oil corporations. Environmental inequality and its concomitant…
