This project also supports among other activities the renovation of government offices.

    Africa Peace Review, Vol. 16, No1, 2020 Godwin Onu www.aprndc.com Arinze Ngwube ISSN 1118-7204 Nigeria’s Leadership Role in United Nations Peace Support Operations: Challenges and Prospects Godwin Onu Arinze Ngwube Abstract Nigeria has continued to play her role in peace support operations under the Keywords auspices of the UN, AU and ECOWAS. She is one of the troop-contributing countries with vast field countries. Nigeria was once the largest troop- Peace Support contributing nation on the continent and the fifth largest in the World to UNO Operations; PSO in 2013. Nigeria operates mainly within the sphere of troop contributors, Nigeria; but her status is declining when other countries like Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Leadership Ethiopia and Rwanda, among others, are reaping enormous political and financial gain from their significant contributions to PSO. It is expected that Nigeria should rise to new levels of peacekeeping not just participating by way of deploying troops as part of UN obligation to maintain peace and security in various parts of the world, but strategically utilizing her field experiences to shape new thinking on peacekeeping. This article answered some of the questions raised. Its source of data was essentially secondary literature, involving books, journals and articles on the subject matter. There is absence of coherent model for meeting contingent owned equipment requirements in adherence to UN standards, while the flow of information and communication between MOD and MFA as regard PSO is also incoherent. There is also an absence of a National Policy on PSO even though there has been a draft since 2010.

However the above purpose has not been achieved over the years, thus, this study attempts to examine representative bureaucracy as a tool of diversity management in Nigeria public service, to achieve national integration, nation building and sustainable development. The study utilized the secondary method of data collection and found that the major challenges in diversity management through the application of representative bureaucracy in Nigeria are Lack of meritocracy and heavy presence of ethnocentrism in the public sector. It however, recommended that the principle of merit should be applied in public service employment and appointment as well as admissions into Nigeria tertiary institutions and equal opportunity for all irrespective of ethnic or religious affiliation.

I therefore highly recommend this volume to readers that are interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the issues and challenges involved in contemporary AU- UN support arrangements.’ Ambassador Boubacar G.

  • Democratic Security Sector Governance and Military Reform in Nigeria E
    CHAPTER 6 Democratic Security Sector Governance and Military Reform in Nigeria E. Remi Aiyede Senior Lecturer, Department of Political Science, University of Ibadan, Nigeria Introduction Nigeria began to reform its security sector as part of the transition from mil- itary to civilian rule at the start of the new millennium. The reforms began with an effort to convince the armed forces to return to their barracks and keep to their constitutional role as guardians of the state. Elections were con- ducted and a civilian administration took control of the government and military in a short transition programme organised by General Abdulsalami Abubakar’s regime. The Obasanjo Government (1999 – 2007) implemented a series of reforms to strengthen political institutions after years of tyranny and economic recession. The National Economic Empowerment and Devel- opment Strategy focused on four main areas: improving the macroeconomic environment, pursuing structural reforms, strengthening the management of public expenditure, and implementing legal and statutory reforms. The Vision 20:2020 document became the blue print for the drive to make Nigeria the 20th largest and most competitive economy in the world (NNPC 2009). Although there were no explicit references to the reform of the security sector in these documents, the Obasanjo Government sought international assistance to support its military reform process. External agencies involved in the reform of the military included a private corporation, Military Profes- sional Resources Incorporated (known commercially as MPRI), the Amer- ican government’s International Military Education and Training programme How to cite this book chapter: Aiyede, E R. 2015.
