    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.

    The Ethiopian Journal of Social Sciences Volume 8, Number 1,
    (2022-05) Atobatele Abolaji; Moliki Ahmed Olawale
    There have been age-long rifts between farmers and pastoralists though their relationship is both symbiotic and competitive in nature; hence this has often times led to crises which heightened tensions and religious intolerance. Consequently, many villages have been deserted which has affected the socio-economic activities as well as students’ enrolment in schools. It is against this backdrop that the study examines the extent to which farmers’/herdsmen’s clashes affect sustainable development in Nigeria. To collect data, interviews were conducted in some selected states in Nigeria where the scourge of terrorism was felt greatly. The sample size for the interview was 20 where the interviewees were purposively selected based on their experience in the subject matter and questions were asked through focus group discussion. The study found that government insensitivity to the plight of both farmers and herders is responsible for the crises which have negative impact on sustainable development. The study therefore recommends that conflict management mechanisms should be instituted, and also sanctions should be imposed to forestall future conflicts.

    Impact of Public Private Partnership on Infrastructure Development of Nigeria
    (Unilag Journal of Humanity Vol. 8 No. 2,, 2019) Faruk Abubakar; Atobatele Abolaji
    Public Private Partnership began to draw attention in Nigeria when it became evident that the role of the state alone in the provision of infrastructure was no longer sustainable. A number of initiatives have been taken to address the dearth of infrastructure and forestall decay of existing infrastructure but the result is below desirable. It was on this basis that this study set out to assess the impact of public private partnership on infrastructural development in Nigeria. Data was garnered from secondary materials such as World Bank documents and Government Gazettes. Data was analyzed qualitatively and it was revealed that inadequate concession plans coupled with sentiments have rendered PPP inefficient in Nigeria. Some of the state governments gave concession to their cronies and political associates and this crippled the aim of the PPP as they became financially incapacitated to continue funding the projects. The study recommended that placing emphasis on merit rather than political patronage is a sure way of making the PPP more effective.

    Social Media and Women’s Political Participation in Nigeria
    (Tuijin Jishu/Journal of Propulsion Technology Vol. 44 No. 6, 2023) Oladipo Victoria Olaitan; Chukwudi Ekene Celestina
    The advent of social media has increased social communication and technology interaction. Even with these benefits, using social media to encourage women to get involved in politics has not worked well. Social media has influenced several advocacy issues such as the #METoo movements, the Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests, and the #EndSARS protests in Nigeria, to mention a few. The goal of this study is to find out how much social media aided by new technology has changed women's political participation and to come up with a way to get more women involved in politics through social media. This study is anchored in feminist theory. This study used a qualitative research method, and secondary sources were used to gather the data. The study showed that social media had not made it easier for women to get involved in politics. This makes it harder to get equal numbers of women in politics. So, it suggests that women should get more involved in politics through social media by learning more about the need for fair political representation.

    Youth Leadership in Legislation: Assessing Young Legislators' Performance and Challenges in Oyo State, Nigeria
    (Covenant University Journal of Politics & International Affairs, Special Issue on Leadership and Development, 2025) Omotayo Jeremiah Oluwadara; Abasilim Ugochukwu D.
    The global underrepresentation of youth in formal political arenas is a pressing issue, particularly in Nigeria, where 74.22% of the population is under 35 years old, yet young people have limited access to legislative roles. The 2018 Not Too Young to Run Act sought to address this by lowering the eligibility age for House of Assembly candidates from 30 to 25 years. This study investigates the performance and challenges of young legislators in the Oyo State House of Assembly, focusing on the 9th Assembly, where 13 out of 32 members were aged between 25 and 40, including one of Nigeria's youngest legislators and speakers. The study employs a mixed-methods approach within a case study research design grounded in leadership competence theory. Data were collected on legislative activities such as attendance, sponsored bills and motions, and matters of urgent public importance from June 2019 to August 2021. Findings reveal that young legislators demonstrated leadership competencies and actively contributed to legislative processes but faced significant challenges, including limited experience in lawmaking and cultural dynamics when engaging with older colleagues. The study concludes that while including youth in legislative roles is a positive step, targeted capacity-building initiatives are essential to enhance their legislative effectiveness. It recommends mentorship programmes and training to equip young legislators with the skills to navigate complex legislative and socio-cultural environments.

    Social Media and Political Propaganda: A double-edged Sword for Democratic Consolidation in Nigeria
    (British Journal of Multidisciplinary and Advanced Studies: Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences 5 (4),, 2024-06) Osimen Goddy U.; Adeyefa Christianah Ronke
    Social media serves as a powerful tool for politicians to engage with voters and drive the conversation in their favor. Still, the authenticity and accuracy of online information can be questionable as there are currently no mechanisms in place to regulate or sanction the spread of false or misleading information on social media, making it even more challenging to combat the proliferation of political propaganda. Also, the prevalent availability and lack of mechanisms to checkmate it allows individuals and political actors to spread misleading information which causes a significant problem. Therefore, the trust of this paper was to examine the role of social media platforms specifically Facebook and Twitter, as well as the gaps and challenges in identifying the dissemination and amplification of political propaganda in Nigeria. The study utilized qualitative research and was analyzed descriptively. The study revealed that Social media promotes political propaganda and manipulates the perception of the electorate which changes the outcome of elections. Ultimately, the paper argues that a comprehensive approach is needed to regulate the spread of political propaganda on social media platforms in Nigeria, which include; the creation of digital literacy programs that focuses on media literacy and online etiquette, deeper cooperation between the Nigerian government and social media platforms to curb the spread of political propaganda, the establishment of legal frameworks to punish offenders, mitigating political propaganda are some of the recommendations highlighted in this study

    (INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RESEARCH IN SOCIAL SCIENCES & HUMANITIES Volume: 12, Issue: 3, 2022-09) RUFUS AISEDION; Osimen Goddy U.; Ade-Ibijola Aderemi Opeyemi
    The security, economic, social and political disruptions of the state induced by the activities of organized crime has weakened the state’s authority to carry out its expected functions of good governance. In Nigeria, the illegal activities of criminal cartel groups affect government’s resources and its ability to enhance the welfare, basic human needs and living standard of its citizens. The criminal cartels who in their corrupt practices penetrate political offices to wax their influence, strengthened by the integration of security agencies and judicial organs of the state to shield their illegal activities carried out by violence or threat of violence have become a course for national concern. This is why urgent attention needs to be taken to address the menace. It is against this background that the paper examined the impact of organized crime on good governance and also to proffer ways the menace can be reduced to the barest minimum. The paper adopted the bureaucracy model of organized crime since it is organized like a conventional bureaucracy pyramid shape with members in hierarchical leadership through which its activities are carried out. The paper utilized secondary sources of data and was historically analyzed. The findings of the paper revealed that the ill activities of organized crime undercut government’s transparency, accountability, popular political participation and ability to harness resources for the well-being of the citizens. It is also observe that the infiltration of organized criminals in public affairs subverts government’s welfare policies of its citizens, due to gross corruption all over public office, among others. The recommendations include inter alia: That political and economic agencies should beef up their administrative tentacles and arsenals to stem the tide of organized criminal cartels, leaders should muster the political will to restrict people from lifestyles that encourages organized crime, the government should ensure that welfare dimension of human needs is provided to attract citizens’ patriotism to shun criminal groups and their activities, among others.

    Repositioning Nigeria Towards Sustainable National Integration Through National Orientation Agency
    (2022) Osimen Goddy U.; Akintoye Festus Ayodimeji; Adi Isaac
    Threats of disunity keep ravaging Nigeria’s independence since 1960. The need for disintegration from the nation grows over time especially from the south-eastern and southsouthern regions of the country, and this eventually resulted in Nigeria’s civil war of 1967-1970. Hostilities promoted by ethnic tensions are also higher than ever before. Insurgency which started in the north-eastern region since 2009 has continued to claim several lives and properties till date. Herdsmen and farmers conflicts have also continue to escalate in the north-central region of the country. While, cattle rustling and armed banditry keeps growing in the northwestern region. Attacks and bombardments of oil facilities have been employed by aggrieved militants in the Niger Delta Region to get at the country. Religious intolerance has also continued to result in confrontations that often claim several lives across the northern region of the country. The thrust of this paper is hinged on these threats that have been confronting Nigeria’s national unity. The paper appraises efforts of the National Orientation Agency (NOA) in the task of promoting national integration in Nigeria. Descriptive analysis was adopted in this paper and data were sourced through secondary means from journal articles, magazines, newspapers, bulletins, lecture notes, diaries, and the internet. The paper revealed some of the impediments to national integration in Nigeria to include but not limited to: politics of identity, corruption among the political elites, power struggle and allocation of resources to the federating unions, religious intolerance, and internal conflicts as well as overcentralisation of power. Recommendations were then made towards repositioning the country’s sustainable national unity.
