Interrogating the Sources of International law vis-à-vis Municipal law in the drive towards socio-politico sustainability of Glocalisation
(African Renaissance Vol. 2022, 2022) Folorunso Gideon Ibukuntomiwa; Ayodele Olaniyi Trust; Deinde-Adedeji Oluwatimilehin
Glocalisation is a portmanteau of the global and the local, hence, a relationship must be forged in law. The sustenance of the glocal is important, but the institution that can guarantee this sustenance is the rule of law and constitutionality. This paper interrogates the sources of the laws that govern the global and the local and their involvement in the socio-political sustenance of glocalisation. This paper collected data from secondary sources and adopted a descriptive research design. It is important to have a rethink, remodel and reform on traditional diplomacy to encompass a sustainable diplomatic effort of state and non-state actors to achieve peacebuilding, social and economic development, and fight poverty and social exclusion expressively and intricately. Resource management is critical to achieving sustainability. Even though the principles of transparency and accountability are excruciatingly difficult to implement, the need to practice internal monitoring is germane, and so is identifying the tools to check transparency and efficiency in fund management.
Navigating Public–Private Partnership success: A cross-country study of key factors in Nigeria and South Africa
(P &P Politics & Policy Volume52, Issue5, 2024-09-21) Deinde-Adedeji Oluwatimilehin; Nchuchuwe Francis; Abasilim Ugochukwu D.; Gberevbie Daniel E.; Oni Samuel
Public–private partnership (PPP) has delivered expected results on a number of significant projects. Yet, despite the growing appeal, problems have been encountered which have either resulted in slow progress or the total failure of such arrangements. This study offers a comparison between Nigeria and South Africa focusing on several identified critical success factors (CSFs) for PPPs. We rely on secondary data to compare Nigeria and South Africa based on the top ten ranking CSFs identified in the literature. Findings reveal that both countries account for the highest number of PPP projects in Africa but have not recorded huge successes as a result of their shortcomings in important CSFs responsible for the success of PPPs. Nigeria, for instance, is still being challenged with poor energy supply, bad road networks, and ineffective waste management practices, among others. South Africa appears to have had better success in PPP delivery due to a suitable financial market, stable economic policy, favorable legal framework, and a transparent procurement process. We conclude by highlighting the key CSFs for PPPs in Nigeria and South Africa and emphasize the need to address the identified shortcomings. The relevance of this study is in its contribution to the understanding of CSF in PPP projects thereby offering useful insights for policy makers and administrators in improving the success rate of PPPs and enhancing the delivery of public services in these countries.
Political Parties and Democratic Consolidation in Nigeria’s Fourth Republic: Elite Theory Explanation
(Editura Universitară Danubius, 2020) Musa David; Ibietan Jide; Deinde-Adedeji Oluwatimilehin
The main objective of this paper is to examine the impact of political parties on democratic consolidation in Nigeria’s Fourth Republic (2010 -2019). Political parties are the engine room of democratic societies and without them; there will be no genuine democracy. The Fourth Republic in Nigeria witnessed revitalized activities of political parties after military interregnum. Democratic consolidation largely depends on the character and conduct of the country’s political parties, and the paper interrogates the extent to which they have shaped or stagnated democracy. This study adopts elite theory as framework, and was predicated on historical design. Data gathered were textually analyzed. With a reliance on secondary data such as books, journals and internet materials, the interplay between political parties and democratic consolidation was x-rayed. The challenges to democratic consolidation in the period of study (absence of well-institutionalized political parties, godfatherism, and lack of internal democracy) are observable. This research recommends the overhauling of political parties in order to correct the current state of party politics and democratic practice.

(Research Square, 2023-06-05) Atobatele Abolaji; Moliki Ahmed Olawale; Deinde-Adedeji Oluwatimilehin; DELE-DADA MOYOSOLUWA PRISCILIA
This study emphasizes on the project affected persons and their perception concerning the activities of government in Lagos State. Lagos Red Rail Line is going to be a laudable project that will result in socioeconomic development of the State and reduce traffic jam when completed. The study employed survey research technique which include administration of interview to the respondents through focus group discussion in Ikeja, Yaba, Mushin and Oyingbo and secondary source of data such as Journals, Internet, Government Gazette, and Magazines. The study reveals that lack of confidence in government coupled with high rate of illiteracy is responsible to the negative reaction of the project affected persons. The study therefore recommends that government at all levels in Lagos State and Nigeria at large should build the confidence of the residents in the State and Nigeria by fulfilling the promises made to residents of Lagos State and Nigerians before and after the elections.
