Jabulani, – University of Swaziland iii Review of Public Administration & Management Vo. 1 No. 2 Editorial Comment We are happy to launch the second edition of the Review of Public Administration and Management. It is interesting to note that the Journal has improved significantly, with a website, electronic mail address and International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) in place. The Journal undoubtedly is intended to be a beacon of light to scholars of administration, management, humanities and social sciences. Through extensive research and intensive empirical field studies, the Journal will show Nigeria and other developing states how to survive or how to escape from the scourge of problems buffeting them. Today, myriads of unpredictability face administration, politics, humanities, social sciences and management. The western nations have articulated their responses to the challenges and even simulated and programmed the likely outcome. But for us in the third World especially Nigeria, it seemed that the challenges took us by surprise. It is in keeping with the challenges that the Department of Public Administration, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka blazed the trail by producing the second edition of the Journal. There is no gainsaying that an examination of the current security challenges in the Country, one may be wont to remark that Nigeria is ‘sitting on a keg of gunpowder’. Politically Nigeria’s nascent democracy has not fared well; the terrain has been shrouded with unprecedented unpredictability. I feel accomplished that these challenges, especially the security challenges and restiveness have been reasonably addressed in the second edition of Review of Public Administration and Management. This is reflected by the quality of manuscripts received from seasoned academics across reputable Nigerian Universities, which we considered necessary to be published in this edition. With deep sense of pleasure and accomplishment, I am pretty certain that you will be very much enriched as you read through this volume. Prof. M.C.

  • The Future of Demilitarisation and Civil Military Relations in West Africa: Challenges and Prospects for Democratic Consolidation*

(1998), Vol. 3 No. 1, 82-103 The Future of Demilitarisation and Civil Military Relations in West Africa: Challenges and Prospects for Democratic Consolidation* J 'Kayode Fayemi** Abstract This paper examines the state of civil-military relations and the prospects for demilitarisation anddemocratisation in contemporary West Africa. Its underlying thesis is that West Africa poses one of the greatest dilemmas to the prospects for demilitarisation in Africa. At the same time, it offers a potentially useful mecha- nism for regional peace and security with implications for (de)militarisation in Africa. While the paper recognises the historico-structural dimensions of militarisation as well as the behavioural obstacles to demilitarisation, it captures the challenges and prospects in terms of the complexity of state-civil society relations and suggests a holistic understanding of the concept of security. This, it does with a view to de-emphasising force as the key mechanism for conflict resolution, and promoting an inclusive institutionalframework for demilitarisation and development. Introduction Militarisation is a multi-dimensional process containing phenomena such as rearmament, the growth of armed forces, an increasing role for the military in decision making process, an increasing role for force in conflict resolution and the spread of " militaristic" values. In general,... militarisation is a process whereby the "civilian" sphere is increasingly militarised towards a state of excess, usually referred to as "militarism" (Hettne, 1988,18).

  • Nigeria's Fourth Republic (1999-2015) and Electoral Outcomes
    162 JOURNAL OF AFRICAN ELECTIONS NIGERIA’S FOURTH REPUBLIC (1999-2015) AND ELECTORAL OUTCOMES: How long can Patronage or ‘Politics of the Belly’ Last? Dhikru Adewale Yagboyaju, PhD Dhikru Adewale Yagboyaju is a senior lecturer in the Department of Political Science at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The relationship between elections and the vitality of a democratic society is clear. Elections have proven to be the best means of strengthening the mandate of a performing administration or removing a non-performing one. This paper argues, however, that the outcomes of several elections in Nigeria’s Fourth Republic have proved contrary to the common trend in most advanced democratic systems, in which electoral outcomes are based on performance. While in some cases, especially in political party primaries, candidates with little or no democratic credentials have emerged during general elections, in other instances administrations with relatively high records of infrastructural development have been voted out. This study traces the most probable causes of this paradox to Nigeria’s money politics and a possible misinterpretation of the concept of development. It is essentially a literature-based study, descriptive but also analytical. The paper concludes that the country will have to contend with the politics of underdevelopment for as long as immediate and pecuniary benefits constitute the expectation of the generality of followers. Keywords: electoral outcomes, patronage politics, stomach infrastructure, development, Nigeria. 162 VOLUME 14 NO 2 163 INTRODUCTION Elections are among the most ubiquitous phenomena in many parts of the contemporary world, particularly in political systems that have embraced competitive politics.

  • First Election Security Threat Assessment
    SECURITY THREAT ASSESSMENT: TOWARDS 2015 ELECTIONS January – June 2013 edition With Support from the MacArthur Foundation Table of Contents I. Executive Summary II. Security Threat Assessment for North Central III. Security Threat Assessment for North East IV. Security Threat Assessment for North West V. Security Threat Assessment for South East VI. Security Threat Assessment for South South VII. Security Threat Assessment for South West Executive Summary Political Context The merger between the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), All Nigerian Peoples Party (ANPP) and other smaller parties, has provided an opportunity for opposition parties to align and challenge the dominance of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). This however will also provide the backdrop for a keenly contested election in 2015. The zoning arrangement for the presidency is also a key issue that will define the face of the 2015 elections and possible security consequences. Across the six geopolitical zones, other factors will define the elections. These include the persisting state of insecurity from the insurgency and activities of militants and vigilante groups, the high stakes of election as a result of the availability of derivation revenues, the ethnic heterogeneity that makes elite consensus more difficult to attain, as well as the difficult environmental terrain that makes policing of elections a herculean task. Preparations for the Elections The political temperature across the country is heating up in preparation for the 2015 elections. While some state governors are up for re-election, most others are serving out their second terms. The implication is that most of the states are open for grab by either of the major parties and will therefore make the electoral contest fiercer in 2015 both within the political parties and in the general election.

  • SERAP Petition to AG Over Double Emoluments for Ex-Govs Now
    14 July 2017 Mr. Abubakar Malami (SAN) Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Federal Ministry of Justice, Shehu Shagari Way, Abuja Dear Mr. Abubakar Malami (SAN), Re: Request to challenge the legality of states’ laws granting former governors and now serving senators and ministers double pay, life pensions and seek recovery of over N40bn of public funds Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) is writing to request you to use your good offices as a defender of public interest, and exercise your powers under Section 174(1) of the Constitution of Nigeria 1999 (as amended), to urgently institute appropriate legal actions to challenge the legality of states’ laws permitting former governors, who are now senators and ministers to enjoy governors’ emoluments while drawing normal salaries and allowances in their new political offices; and to seek full recovery of public funds from those involved. This request is entirely consistent with Nigeria’s international anticorruption obligations under the UN Convention against Corruption, to which the country is a state party. We request that you take this step within 7 days of the receipt and/or publication of this letter, failing which SERAP will institute legal proceedings to compel the discharge of constitutional duty and full compliance with Nigeria’s international obligations and commitments. SERAP is a non-governmental organization dedicated to strengthening the socio-economic welfare of Nigerians by combatting corruption and promoting transparency and accountability.

  • Lagos State Poctket Factfinder
    HISTORY Before the creation of the States in 1967, the identity of Lagos was restricted to the Lagos Island of Eko (Bini word for war camp). The first settlers in Eko were the Aworis, who were mostly hunters and fishermen. They had migrated from Ile-Ife by stages to the coast at Ebute- Metta. The Aworis were later reinforced by a band of Benin warriors and joined by other Yoruba elements who settled on the mainland for a while till the danger of an attack by the warring tribes plaguing Yorubaland drove them to seek the security of the nearest island, Iddo, from where they spread to Eko. By 1851 after the abolition of the slave trade, there was a great attraction to Lagos by the repatriates. First were the Saro, mainly freed Yoruba captives and their descendants who, having been set ashore in Sierra Leone, responded to the pull of their homeland, and returned in successive waves to Lagos. Having had the privilege of Western education and christianity, they made remarkable contributions to education and the rapid modernisation of Lagos. They were granted land to settle in the Olowogbowo and Breadfruit areas of the island. The Brazilian returnees, the Aguda, also started arriving in Lagos in the mid-19th century and brought with them the skills they had acquired in Brazil. Most of them were master-builders, carpenters and masons, and gave the distinct charaterisitics of Brazilian architecture to their residential buildings at Bamgbose and Campos Square areas which form a large proportion of architectural richness of the city.
