Post-Covid-19 Wash Insecurity and Monkeypox Transmission in Nigeria
In the context of the post-COVID-19 pandemic recovery and the ongoing efforts to manage endemic diseases, this study examines the impact of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) insecurity on monkey pox outbreaks in Nigeria. It describes WASH as critical preventive and control measures for limiting the spread of viral infections. Using data from secondary sources and direct observations, the study argues that the prevailing neoliberal development…
Open grazing prohibition law, political economy of centralized law enforcement mechanism, and nomadic pastoralist-sedentary farmer relations in Nigeria
The anti-grazing law failed to curb the incessant pastoralist-farmer crises in postcolonial Nigeria. The leading explanation links failure to the non-enforceability of the law. This study reconsiders this lack of enforcement argument by focusing on the tripartite nexus between the law, class, and economic structure in the post-colonial state to explain the persistence of the herder-sedentary farmer conflict amidst the anti-open grazing regulation…
The Nigerian state and the realities of managing Covid-19 pandemic
The discovery and the swift rise in the COVID-19 confirmed cases in almost all the countries of the world including Nigeria, is one of the greatest public health challenges that has affected the foundation of the global system in an unprecedented manner. How effective a government responds to public health emergencies is dependent on the state capabilities and capacities, including the existing structures, facilities, available manpower, policy c…
The Neoliberal State and Management of the Covid-19 Pandemic in Nigeria
This study examines how neoliberalism affected the management of Covid-19 in Nigeria. As a result of its emphasis on privatisation and austerity, neoliberalism discouraged social investment programmes and provisioning. The privatisation of Nigeria’s health sector severely stifled health financing, which led to the collapse of public health institutions and the proliferation of private and informal health delivery systems. It limited universal acc…
Public procurement law, political economy of the lowest responsive bidding, and the development of the water, sanitation and hygiene sector in Nigeria
This study challenges the argument that the non-enforceability of the procurement law is the bane of infrastructural development in Nigeria. Focusing on the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sector, the article argues that various attempts at procurement regulation were in fact moves to expand capital accumulation in the service delivery sector. Highly placed individuals leverage the lowest responsive bidding mechanism to engage in sharp pract…
Does liberal democracy promote economic development? interrogating electoral cost and development trade-off in Nigeria’s fourth republic
The popular thinking in western scholarship projects progressive deepening of liberal democratic principles and praxis as the panacea for economic prosperity in the peripheral socio-economic formation. While comparative studies on these relationships in both established and fledgling democracies have produced differential results, the link between electoral cost and economic development in transitional states is under-studied. This study therefor…
Campaign propaganda, electoral outcome and the dynamics of governance in the post-2015 presidential election in Nigeria
This study evaluates the impact of campaign propaganda on both the outcome of the 2015 presidential poll and post-election governance in Nigeria. It specifically analyses how ethno-religious campaign messages of the two major political parties determined the rational voting choices of individuals, the triumph of an opposition party, and the policy direction of the winning party. This study is qualitative and it is derived from the Rational Choice…
State actors, human rights violations and informal livelihoods during the Covid-19 pandemic in Nigeria
The COVID-19 pandemic has had devastating effects on virtually all facets of society. With the enforcement of COVID-19 control measures such as lockdown and stay-at-home orders in Nigeria, palpable concerns about human rights violations by state actors, especially the security agencies, emerged. Unfortunately, conceptualizing and structuring responses to the COVID-19 pandemic as a human rights issue has remained inadequate, and very little resear…
