    Nigeria Cue from Global E-Governance for the Civil Service: A Bibliometric Literature Review
    (Researchgate, 2022-09) Olaleye Sunday Adewale; Atobatele Abolaji; Olaoye Olusegun Peter
    Electronic governance (e-governance) promotes accountability between the government and its citizens and is a global development. It is a process of using information technology to exchange data, communicate, and deliver government services. E-governance gave birth to an innovative model of government to citizen (G2C), government to business (G2B), government to government (G2G), and government to employees (G2E). This radical change is one of the great things that has happened to the world as the governance framework impacts the back-office processes and interactions. This study employed a quantitative methodology with bibliometric analysis. The results show the longitudinal and transverse waves of e-governance in academic literature, and this study proposed future research agenda.

    Natural Resource Governance and Conflicts in Nigeria
    (British Journal of Multidisciplinary and Advanced Studies: Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences 4(1), 2023) Osawe Anthony Ikhide; Osimen Goddy U.
    This study investigates the governance of natural resources to promote socioeconomic and people-centred development in Nigeria. The paper relied on secondary sources of data, focusing on the three main variables: conflict, politics and power. Nigeria is endowed with abundant natural resources, which accounts for about 65% of total tax revenue, driven mostly by an increase in export earnings from the oil and gas sector. Most resource-related conflicts are implicated by the inequitable distribution of benefits accruing to resources. The State and elite, in alliance with foreign corporations, enjoy the benefits of the exploited resource. Host-communities face the debilitating negative environmental impacts and the discrepancy between indigenous traditional laws and state laws that define ownership of natural resources in a federal but unitary state has led to controversial relations among states in Nigeria. The paper took an extensive look at the politics of natural resource extraction and governance in Nigeria and explored the themes through which the causative relationship between natural resources and conflicts can be differentiated. It noticed the political economy of natural resources as embedded within the broader global power relations. The paper concludes that regulation must be anchored to elements of good governance, especially democracy, rule of law, transparency and accountability, as well as efficient and equitable management of resource revenues
