Item A Threat to Sustainable HealthCare Services? Examining the Effect of Structural Violence on the Policy Outcomes of Lagos State Health Insurance Scheme among Enrolled Junior Officers in the Lagos State Ministry of Works and Infrastructure(Pakistan Journal of Life and Social Sciences 22(2), 2024-01) Dele‐Dada Moyosoluwa; Gberevbie Daniel E.; Olu-Owolabi Fadeke Esther; Atobatele AbolajiItem Violent Contestation of Power and Political Turbulence in Sudan: A Reflective Assessment of Generals Burhan and Hemedti Simmering Feud(Journal of Somali Studies : Research on Somalia and the Greater Horn of African CountriesVol. 11, No. 3, 2024-12) Okafor Celestine Ogechukwu; Chukwudi Ekene Celestina; Ngoka Ruth Obioma; Elumelu Chiazor Simeon; Gberevbie Daniel E.; Ezebuilo Paul ChibuikeThis study explores the complex power dynamics and political volatility that have defined Sudan's history by examining the simmering feud between Generals Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and Hamdan Dagalo Hemedti. Thus, the study also reveals the fundamental structural elements causing political instability in Sudan's landscape that threaten the national democratic transition. The study relied on content analysis and a documentary approach; data were collected through secondary sources, and Marxist conflict theory was employed. The paper argued that the feud is a struggle for power exercise in the state and a quest to control the security architecture. Findings reveal that owing to the violent contest for power and persistent political turbulence in Sudan, the country's transition to democratic governance appears to be a mirage since diverse armed groups have resisted giving up their respective groups' interests for the national interest. The paper recommends that negotiations and dialogue are primarily needed to protect Sudan's territorial integrity and save it from state failure and disintegration. The policy implication of this study is that the study outcome provides a current and informative addition to our knowledge of power struggles and political upheaval in Africa by examining the ramifications of this dispute for achieving positive peace in regional and global affairs.Item The Legislative Enactments On Women’s Inclusion In Governance: A Study Of Lagos State House Of Assembly, Nigeria (2015- 2022)(Educational Administration: Theory and Practice 2024, 30(5),, 2024) Chukwudi Ekene Celestina; Oladipo Victoria Olaitan; Gberevbie Daniel E.Women in Nigeria have faced limitations like in different countries of Africa. This has happened in different sectors in Nigeria, most especially the inclusion in governance. Nigeria, like many other countries, has grappled with issues of gender inequality in political representation. This situation has also lowered their expected contributions to Nigerian socioeconomic development. This study examines the legislative enactments aimed at promoting women's inclusion in governance within the Lagos State House of Assembly during the period 2015 to 2022. The research focuses on the efforts made by the Lagos State legislative body to address this imbalance through the formulation and implementation of policies, laws, and initiatives. The study employs qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection. The study employs a comprehensive analysis of legislative documents, debates, and official records to evaluate the extent to which the Lagos State House of Assembly has played a role in advancing women's participation in political decision-making. The Feminist constitutionalism theory was used to underpin the analyses of the study. The data was analysed using the thematic method of analysis. The findings revealed the lack of implementation of legislative enactments that encourage the inclusion of women in governance by the Lagos State House of Assembly from 2015 to 2022. It also explains policy areas that parliaments could focus on and the role of technology as a mechanism in legislating policies that will encourage the inclusion of women in governance. The study provides valuable insights for policymakers, gender advocates, and researchers interested in understanding the dynamics of legislative processes and their impact on women's representation and participation in governance. It recommends among other things, the need for gender quotas, and regulations on political party financing that promote women’s inclusion.Item Unveiling INEC’S Testimonies: A Dive into Digital Technology Engagement and Voters Registration, 2015-2022(African RenaissanceVol. 21, No. 2 (Online), 2024) Apeloko O. D.; Gberevbie Daniel E.; Excellence-Oluye Uchekwube O.; Oluwatobi Durojaiye JohnBeyond the conventional approach to delivering public services, the adoption of digital mechanisms for delivering these services has been advocated. This is to improve how public services are delivered to the general public. INEC is not left out in the search for a better way to provide quality service through digital technology, and they have introduced new technologies over the years to carry out their activities. However, voter impersonation, duplicate registrations, and overcrowding at registration centres are among the problems that have plagued the election system. In light of this, it becomes imperative to identify the effects and challenges of the use of digital technology in INEC activities, specifically in the registration of voters and the distribution of voter’s cards. The scope of the study was Lagos state, specifically Alimosho Local Government. This study relied on the Technology Organisation Environment framework as the theoretical framework of analysis. This study used secondary and primary sources of data collection. The data were analysed thematically based on the research questions and the structured interview that guided the study. This study adopted a case-study research design. The population of the study was 25 staff of the Alimosho Local Government INEC office, and the sample size was 5 staff selected using the purposive sampling technique. The result showed that digital technology has a positive effect on the registration of voters and distribution of voters’ cards in Alimosho Local Government, but they still experience challenges like a shortage of digital devices and staff as well as delays in fixing and replacing damaged devices. The study concluded that despite digital technology having had a positive impact on the registration of voters and distribution of voters’ cards in Alimosho Local Government between 2015 and 2022, there are still some challenges that need to be tackled. The study recommends that INEC should provide more devices to the local government, and adequate staffing and training should be prioritised to ensure the smooth operation and management of digital systems.Item Unveiling INEC’S Testimonies: A Dive into Digital Technology Engagement and Voters Registration, 2015-2022(African RenaissanceVol. 21, No. 2 (Online), 2024-06-01) Apeloko O.

M.; Abasilim Ugochukwu D.This study examines the improvement of rice production in Nigeria through the government’s policy of the Anchor Borrowers’ Programme (ABP). Rationalized by the production theory, the study utilizes quantitative methods such as surveys. The study investigates the influence of ABP on rice production, with particular emphasis on the experiences of smallholder rice farmers in Ebonyi State, Nigeria. The study employed a cross-sectional survey research approach, and the target population comprised smallholder rice farmers in the state who have benefitted from ABP. The study obtained a representative sample of 400 respondents through stratified random sampling. The study adopts the administration of a structured questionnaire with rice farmers in Ebonyi State, Nigeria, as the primary data collection method. Regression was used to test the hypotheses in SPSS version 23. From the findings, the study reveals the need for the ABP, banks and other lending agencies/programmes to train farmers. It shows that modern farming contributes to rice production in Ebonyi State.Item 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 SamuelPublic–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.Item Curtailing structural violence in Nigeria: the legislature and poverty alleviation in the fourth republic(The Journal of Legislative Studies, 2024-08-26) Oni Samuel; DELE-DADA MOYOSOLUWA PRISCILIA; Gberevbie Daniel E.The pivot of the legislature in addressing structural violence in a democratic polity is its responsibility of enacting legislation for good governance, representing citizens’ interests in the public policy formulation process and performing oversight functions for equitable distribution and access to public goods and services. In Nigeria, the elimination of poverty has remained a major focus of every successive government, however, more than half of its populace still live in poverty and continue to battle with challenges emanating from inequality in societal structures. This study applies a systematic literature review to gather data and analyse the legislature’s impact on poverty alleviation in Nigeria’s fourth republic. The study reveals the extent of the capacity of the Nigerian legislative institutions to push for the development of the nation the socio-political dynamic of the country impeding legislative oversight of the implementation of government policies and programmes and the implication of accountable and transparent governance in the country.Item Mitigating structural violence through legislative oversight: examining poverty alleviation programmes in Nigeria(Cogent Social Sciences 2024, VOL. 10, NO. 1, 2024) DELE-DADA MOYOSOLUWA PRISCILIA; Gberevbie Daniel E.; Owolabi Fadeke E.The focal point of legislative efforts in addressing structural violence within a democratic framework lies in its duty to promulgate laws promoting good governance, advocating for citizens’ interests in public policy formulation, and executing oversight functions to ensure equitable distribution and access to public goods and services. In Nigeria, the elimination of poverty has remained a major focus of every successive government; however, more than half of its population still lives in poverty and continues to battle challenges emanating from inequality in societal structures. This study uses a secondary source to gather data and analyze the legislature’s impact on poverty alleviation in Nigeria’s fourth republic. The study reveals the extent of legislative intervention in alleviating poverty in Nigeria, the effectiveness of those actions and finally identifies ways through which the menace of poverty could be eliminated in Nigeria.Item Fostering National Development in Nigeria: The Interplay Between Education and Social Orientation(Journal of Educational and Social Research Vol 15 No 2, 2025-03) Udom Adaeze Charlyn; Gberevbie Daniel E.; Osimen Goddy U.This paper examines the pressing challenges of widespread ignorance in terms of socio-political and economically related issues in Nigeria. Despite its rich natural and human resources, Nigeria still grapples with significant socio-political and economic challenges stemming from inadequate social orientation and functional result-oriented education. The paper contends that redefining educational goals, enhancing teacher training, and integrating civic and media literacy into the curriculum are essential for cultivating a well-informed and engaged citizenry. It explores the roles of government initiatives, community involvement, technology, and strategic partnerships in implementing these Programmes. By prioritizing result-oriented education, Nigeria could leverage its resources and human capital to drive sustainable development, reduce poverty, and foster national cohesion. The study underscores the necessity of collaborative efforts among government officials, the private sector, NGOs, and international donor organizations to present practical strategies for effective implementation of required public policies to achieve Nigeria’s quest for development.
