Views from Nigeria’s Fourth Republic Omololu Fagbadebo and Suzanne Francis Abstract Extant provisions of Nigeria’s presidential constitution seek to promote a culture of accountability through a system of checks and balances. Since Nigeria’s return to civil rule in May 1999, promotion of good governance through accountability government continues to be a challenge. All indications point to a worsening governance crisis in the midst of abundant resources. Besides, Nigeria’s socio-economic performance and visible poor service delivery depict a deepening governance crisis occasioned by mismanagement of public resources. The data collected by means of documents and literature indicates that the presidential system has checks and balances as measures to prevent the abuse of power. Impeachment is the major institutionally recognised legislative mechanism to hold the executive accountable. The puzzle since the inception of Nigeria’s Fourth Republic is the failure of the legislature to appropriate this statutory authority to police the execution of public policies in a manner that will conform to the constitutional requirements.

  • Impeachment in Nigeria's Presidential System
    Impeachment as an Accountability Measure in a Presidential System? Views From Nigeria’s Fourth Republic OMOLOLU FAGBADEBO AND SUZANNE FRANCIS Abstract Extant provisions of Nigeria’s presidential constitution seek to promote a culture of accountability through a system of checks and balances. Since Nigeria’s return to civil rule in May 1999, promotion of good governance through accountability government continues to be a challenge. All indications point to a worsening governance crisis in the midst of abundant resources. Besides, Nigeria’s socio-economic performance and visible poor service delivery depict a deepening governance crisis occasioned by mismanagement of public resources. The data collected by means of documents and literature indicates that the presidential system has checks and balances as measures to prevent the abuse of power. Impeachment is the major institutionally recognised legislative mechanism to hold the executive accountable. The puzzle since the inception of Nigeria’s Fourth Republic is the failure of the legislature to appropriate this statutory authority to police the execution of public policies in a manner that will conform to the constitutional requirements. While there are requisite constitutional provisions that mandate the legislature to ascertain its power over the executive, indicating Nigeria’s commitment to the promotion of good governance, the legislature has failed to appropriate these instruments to stimulate a responsible government that is open to promoting good governance. Using the theories of structural functionalism and elites, this paper argues that this legislative failure to appropriate the instrument of impeachment to instil the culture of responsible executive in policy process engenders the prevailing governance crisis in Nigeria.

  • Journal of Linguistics, Language and Culture, Vol. 1 No.2, 2014
    Journal of Linguistics, Language and Culture, Vol. 1 no.2, 2014 A pragmatic exploration of Orji Uzor Kalu’s apology to Abians Chris U. Agbedo, Maria I. Obadan & Bosco Okolo-Obi In pragmatics, we study meanings which transcend beyond the surface structure of a given speech act i.e. meanings drawn from context and not just structure. In doing so, we view every speech act, whether written or spoken as comprising of locutionary act, illocutionary act and perlocutionary act (Austin’s speech act theory). Following these laid down parameters, certain speech act carries certain illocutionary force, which is adjudged felicitious or infelicitious depending on whether the illocutionary act resulting thereof meets the felicity conditions as well as conforms to the four maxims as stipulated by the cooperative principles. In a discourse situation, the analyst seeks to ascertain the felicity or otherwise of a given speech act based on previous background knowledge. On February 6, 2013 in an interview with the daily sun, the former governor of Abia state Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu apologized to the people of Abia state for “installing” the present governor Theodore .A. Orji who from all development indicators have succeeded only in further under development of the state. Thus our goal in this study is to critically examine the above speech act using the theoretical frameworks stated, with a view to determine if it fulfils the four basic Gricean cooperative principle and also to determine its felicitious status. From both textual and contextual analysis, certain conclusions were drawn on the future of democracy in the country.

  • Legality of the Dissolution of Elected Local Government Councils in Oyo State, Nigeria
    Global Journal of Politics and Law Research Vol.8, No.5, pp.25-41, September 2020 Published by ECRTD-UK ISSN: ISSN 2053-6321(Print), ISSN: ISSN 2053-6593(Online) LEGALITY OF THE DISSOLUTION OF ELECTED LOCAL GOVERNMENT COUNCILS IN OYO STATE, NIGERIA Dr. (Mrs) Grace Abosede Oladele Faculty of Law, Elizade University, Wuraola Ade Ojo Avenue, Ilara-mokin, Ondo State, Nigeria, ABSTRACT: This paper examines the illegal trend of dissolution of elected Local Government Councils before the expiration of their tenure by the State Governor and their replacement with caretaker committees in Oyo State. It argues that although, the State Government has constitutional powers to create Local Government Councils and conduct elections into same, it does not have the power to dissolve elected Local Government Councils before the expiration of their tenure. Considering the trends in Oyo State and some other States in Nigeria, this paper finds that certain factors are responsible for the prevalence of dissolution of Local Government Councils which have resulted in various negative effects such as violation of the provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and rights of members of the Councils to govern. Such actions truncate democratic process and forces unelected persons on the citizens. The paper concludes that to curb the practice of illegal dissolution of Local Government Councils, the courts of law must ensure the reinstatement of dissolved Councils and Federal Government of Nigeria must take concrete steps to grant autonomy to all Local Government Councils in the country. KEYWORDS - constitution, democratically elected, dissolution, local government council, state government.

According to one account, the Yoruba are descendants of Oduduwa who left the Arabian Peninsula and settled in Ife. He subsequently sent his scions as vice-regents to rule over the people of Benin, Oyo, Ijesha, Ekiti, etc. The Edo of Benin contest this version of Yoruba history. They, the Edo, argue that it would have been impossible for any of Oduduwa’s children to rule in Benin if father and son were outsiders. In other words, Oduduwa originated from Benin, and not the other way round. Fortunately, Yoruba history is beyond the scope of the current exercise. 4. N.A.

As a matter of fact, Islam represents an evolution from the earlier monotheis- tic religions, particularly, Judaism and Christianity. The Qur’an thus recog- nizes, and in fact gives prominence to, the earlier prophets such as Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, and Jesus.

  • Reinforcing Democracy in Nigeria
    Arabian Journal of Business and Management Review (OMAN Chapter) Vol. 4, No.3; October. 2014 REINFORCING DEMOCRACY IN NIGERIA IDIKE, ADELINE NNENNA, Ph.D DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNIVERSITY OF NIGERIA,NSUKKA ABSTRACT It has been variously contended and profoundly demonstrated that democracy is at the crossroads in Nigeria. However, despite the vicissitudes of democracy in the Nigerian State, the horrendous setbacks brought about by the State’s recent encounter with authoritarianism make it imperative for Nigerians to fully embrace democracy. But democracy in its current tendencies in Nigeria is also not so attractive for such full embrace. It is contemplated in this study that what needs to be done necessitates the reinforcement of the existing pillars of the democratic foundation in Nigeria. Thus, this paper is centrally a contribution to the debates surrounding democratization in Nigeria. The specific objectives of the study therefore, are (i) to identify the central deficient element of Nigeria’s democracy and (ii) make recommendations on the modalities of reinforcing democracy in Nigeria. The theoretical framework of the study is the elite theoretical framework. The methodology of the study is the critical mode of research. Findings of the study finally indicate that the central deficient element of Nigeria’s democracy is locatable in its elite dependence. Reinforcing democracy in Nigeria, the study therefore concludes, principally entails the making of the democratic culture, fully participatory and undeniably inclusive. KEYWORDS: Reinforcement, democracy, Nigeria. INTRODUCTION It has been variously contended and profoundly demonstrated that democracy is at the crossroads in the Nigerian State (Joseph and Gillies, 2010; Awopeju, Adelusi and Oluwashakin, 2012; Kumolu, 2013; Idike, 2014; Nnanna, 2014; Oni and Segun, 2014).

    Introduction Memorandum for the Establishment of South East Nigeria Economic Commission (SENEC) Introduction PREFACE The African Institute for Applied Economics (AIAE) was incorporated in Nigeria in 2000 as a Company Limited by Guarantee. It is not-for-profit, non-partisan, independent and international economic research organization. It envisions a renascent Africa that is democratic, prosperous and a major player in the global economy. The mission of the Institute is to provide intellectual leadership in helping Nigeria and Africa think through the emerging economic renaissance. Our strategy is research, networking and capacity building to promote evidence-based decision-making in public and private sectors. The South-East Nigeria Economic Commission initiative grew from successive policy dialogue facilitated by AIAE under the Enugu Forum, a platform of private sector and civil society groups and individuals devoted to evidence-based debates for sound public policies. By rallying stakeholders for the creation of a sub-national economic development agency for the South-East geopolitical zone in Nigeria, AIAE is fulfilling its niche objective of fostering the use of research knowledge. This objective lies at the heart of the AIAE mission statement. In seizing the opportunity to facilitate creation of the South-East Nigeria Economic Commission, AIAE demonstrates a high level of corporate social responsibility. Cognizant of the enormity of the task, AIAE is deploying the critical mass of its intellectual and Introduction PREFACE The African Institute for Applied Economics (AIAE) was incorporated in Nigeria in 2000 as a Company Limited by Guarantee.
