Critical Analysis of Corruption and its Problems1 in Nigeria
The problems posed to mankind by corruption due to the lack of its definitive and universalistic conceptualisation and, its resultant conscious and unconscious institutionalisation, in most cases, across various polities of the world form the core of the analysis of this paper. Specifically, zero-ing in, on Nigeria and other developing polities of Africa, with concrete examples, this paper examines the concept of corruption and its hydra-headedne…
A Theoretical Review of Core Issues on Public Policy and its Environment
The centrality of public policy to human governance has been theoretically examined in this paper. In doing this, its core issues that have long attracted the attentions of scholars and practitioners all over the world were analytically perused giving relevance to the strength, weaknesses, opportunities and threats operating within the environmental space that usually surrounds the policy process, and its executors.Consequent on this, the indispe…
The Political Economy of River Basin and Rural Development Authority in Nigeria
We, in this paper, attempted to put into a clearer perspective the relational reciprocity between the centers of public policy making and its ecology. We specifically assessed the relevance of River Basin Authority to Nigerian Economic development and sustenance of increased food production. Using a retrospective analytical method, we zeroed in, on the Owena River Basin and Rural Development Authority and, its operational management at that point…
Political Mobilization for Rural Development and a Stable Nigerian Democratic Republic
This paper, using theoretical and empirical analytical methods, examines the role of local government in politically mobilizing the citizenry for rural development and the attainment of a stable democratic Republic in Nigeria. Following the review of relevant literature on the concepts (rural development, political mobilization, and democracy) involved, and, the categorization of the local governments under reference into urban and rural areas, a…
The Theory and Practice of Federalism as a Structural Mechanism of Governance
In this paper we examined the concept of federalism as a political arrangment that has been adopted for the practical realisation of the principles of democracy in Nigeria and other similar polities within the world. More importantly, following a thorough theoretical consideration of the subject-matter of federalism as one of the structural paraphernalia of true democratic practice, we zeroed-in on the inadequacies of the Nigerian federalism as i…
Illegal Induced Abortion in Nigeria
In this case study - based research, using the conceptual underpinnings of the subject-matter of public policy as our analytical point of departure, we examined the issue of illegal induced abortion in Nigeria. In the process, we highlighted its consequences and implications for the policy makers in the areas of responsive policy outputs as they concerned the issue of induced abortion. Along the same analytical plane, we examined the concept of i…
Fiscal Federalism and Local Government Finance in Nigeria
The most severe problem facing public institutions in Nigeria is the fiscal one, particularly in local government. This problem has been provoked by a number of factors, including ‘over dependence’ on statutory allocations from both the state and federal governments, deliberate tax evasion by the local citizenry, creation of nonviable local government areas, differences in the status of local governments in terms of the rural–urban dimension, and…
