Onolememen MS, University of Lagos, 1991 MS, University of Nigeria, 1988 BS, Bendel State University, 1985 Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Public Policy and Administration Walden University August 2015 Abstract Research literature has documented Nigeria’s leadership crisis since its independence from Great Britain in 1960. This crisis corresponds with political instability and infrastructure weaknesses, which have resulted in crime, corruption, poverty, lack of social cohesion and personal freedoms, environmental degradation, gender inequities, and deteriorating conditions of public works. No literature was located that addressed the impact of leadership on the governance and development of infrastructure in Nigeria. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to investigate this phenomenon in Nigeria between 1960 and 2010. The theoretical framework comprised Burns’ and Bass’ theories of transformational leadership, and Davis’ and Toikka’s theories of transformation and transition in governance. Data were collected through personal interviews with a purposeful sample of 13 past presidents of Nigeria, public officials, and infrastructure development experts, and by reviewing secondary data on leadership and development in Nigeria during the period 1960-2010. Data were analyzed using the constant comparative method to identify patterns and themes. Findings showed that (a) political instability and the Nigerian civil war have been obstacles to infrastructure development and implementation; (b) military dictatorships implemented improvements, although they neglected rural areas; (c) a new national infrastructure plan must be funded, developed, and implemented; (d) corruption must be combatted in awarding project contracts; and (e) Nigeria’s governance should be based on a pragmatic-visionary form of leadership. The implications for positive social change include informing policy makers about the importance of infrastructure development in Nigeria in order to improve economic growth and the lives of citizens.

  • Good Leadership and Governance in Africa: a Case Study of Nigeria
    International Journal of Latest Research in Humanities and Social Science (IJLRHSS) Volume 02 - Issue 06, 2019 www.ijlrhss.com || PP. 70-80 Good Leadership and Governance in Africa: A Case Study of Nigeria Inyang, Bassey Ph.D Centre for General Studies, Cross River University of Technology, Calabar Abstract: The quest for good leadership and good governance in Africa are two key elements that will ensure that Africa is a worthy, respectable and net-contributing player in the global arena. The phenomenon of leadership and good governance has assumed greater interest in Africa. Good leaders globally guide governments of nation-states to perform effectively for their citizens. The central idea behind leadership is to influence members of group or society in a bid to achieve set goals. The study looks at leadership and challenges of good governance in the 21st Century Nigeria. The study discovered that political leadership has been seriously constrained by corruption, mismanagement of resources, electoral fraud and poor infrastructural development and this has posed dangerous threats to the development of the country. The research paper which relies on data from secondary sources, found that good governance is the positive or progressive outcome of symbiotically integrated leadership. This article unequivocally recommends that the opportunity to participate in the democratisation process should be accorded the citizenry in the choice and selection of credible representative through periodic elections. Fight against corruption should be taken seriously. Also building a functioning judicial system, freedom of the press and free speech are inevitable in the sustenance of good governance anchored on economic reforms aimed at socio-economic development.

Where reports refer to a specific faction, that faction will be identified. Oodua People's Congress (OPC) The Oodua People's Congress was formed in August 1994 (COAV 30 May 2005, 248; HRW Feb. 2003, 4) by Dr. Frederick Fasehun (WAR 2002, 5; Journal of Modern African Studies 2005, 339), to protect and promote the interests of the Yoruba people (HRW Feb. 2003, 4). Its creation has been linked to the annulment of the June 1993 elections by the country's military government (ibid.; Journal of Modern African Studies 2005, 343), and the 1994 arrest of Moshood Abiola, a Yoruba candidate widely thought to have won the cancelled elections (ibid.; HRW Feb. 2003, 4). The primary objectives of Dr. Fasehun's OPC are outlined in its constitution, as follows: To gather all the descendants of Oduduwa all over the earth especially in Africa, the Caribbean, South America and North America for a most profound, all embracing and absolutely unflinching UNITY; To identify with our historical and cultural origin

  • REFOCUSING the FEDERAL CIVIL SERVICE: the ROLE of the HEAD of SERVICE Emma, Chukwuemeka Phd1 , Eme, Okechukwu Innocent2, 3 Titus Enudu, Ph.D
    Kuwait Chapter of Arabian Journal of Business and Management Review Vol. 1, No.3; November 2011 REFOCUSING THE FEDERAL CIVIL SERVICE: THE ROLE OF THE HEAD OF SERVICE Emma, Chukwuemeka PhD1 , Eme, Okechukwu Innocent2, 3 Titus Enudu, Ph.D 1Department of Public Administration, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. 2Department of Public Administration and Local Government Studies University of Nigeria, Nsukka. 3 Department of Business Administration, Enugu State University of Science and Technology, Enugu ABSTRACT Nigeria’s second return to democratic regime in 1999 poses the problem of adjustment for the higher cadre of the country’s civil service. Under military regime the civil service had, for the best part, combined political and bureaucratic roles. The return to a democratic administration implied the shedding of the role of policy articulation. Presidential Democracy equally imposes additional context for political restructuring by the civil service. These are the issues examined in this article. It analyzes the role of the Head of service in refocusing the civil service for more efficient service delivery. It also examines the implications of this refocusing and its major tenents. The article concludes by positing that the new system will create a much better career-centered environment and a potentially result- oriented civil service than we have had in the past. Keyword: Civil Service, transformation, career bureaucrats, politicians, refocusing, Policy, restructuring, and Welfare package. INTRODUCTION Role of the civil service as an instrument in a polity’s socio-economic and political development is incontestable. In some parts of the globe, however, the civil service seems unable to cope with the prevailing ideological, political and economic changes as well as the management innovations.

  • The New Public Administration and Service Delivery in Public Organizations in Nigeria
    International Journal of Academic Multidisciplinary Research (IJAMR) ISSN: 2000-006X Vol. 3 Issue 4, April – 2019, Pages: 22-27 The New Public Administration and Service Delivery in Public Organizations in Nigeria. DIKE, Ego .E Department of Public Administration Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Anambra State, Nigeria. Abstract: We examined the relationship between New Public Administration and Service Delivery in Public Organizations in Nigeria. The main focus of new administration is the use of market techniques to improve the performance of the public sector. The main features of NPA include performance contracting, cost recovering, commercialization, decentralization and accountability among others. The study adopts a content analysis method through the use of secondary data. The study recommends among others that the implementation of the reform can be tackled by being more practical, sensitizing public servants in an adequate/timely manner, and taking into cognizance the environmental realities of the Nigerian public service. It concludes that new public management is sine qua non for any civil service that wants to be effective in service delivery. Keywords: New Public Administration, Service Delivery. INTRODUCTION The earlier reforms aimed at shaping a public administration that could spearhead national development, albeit in the The New Public Administration represents the culmination mould of the colonial age. Current reform efforts aim to of a revolution in public Administration.

  • Civil Service Reforms and National Development in Nigeria
    South American Journal of Management Volume 1, Issue 2, 2015 Civil Service Reforms and National Development in Nigeria Article by Ogochukwu E.S. Nebo1 and Nnamani, Desmond Okechukwu2 Personnel Unit, Godfrey Okoye University Enugu Nigeria1 Dept of Public Administration and Local Government University of Nigeria, Nsukka2 Email:- [email protected] Abstract Civil service is an executive arm of government that implements the programmes and policies of government efficiently and effectively to enhance national development. Civil servants are crops of technocrat at federal, state and local level who assist government of the day with their wealth of knowledge and experience to carry out their legitimate business. Nigerian civil service has been in dilemma of partisan politics, red-tapism, leakages, wastage, non professionalism, unproductive, redundancy and over-bloated ghost workers from one administration to another since independence of 1960. Civil service revolves around people to achieve result, this prompted why successive regimes have bent on reforming to improve the machinery of government; yet the effort remain obsolescence, no enthusiasm to execute government policies. The paper examines various reforms in Nigeria civil service and finalize that nothing has been done for better service delivery. The lacuna experienced in Nigerian civil service is not far from the structure of Nigerian state coupled with socio-cultural factors on the aegis of federal character principle and quota system all this floored national development. To ameliorate this persistent deterioration of bureaucratic bottleneck, inefficiency and unaccountability, this demands meritocracy in the altar of mediocrity during appointment to enhance national development. The bureaucratic theory of Max Webber should be in place in the context of civil service reform in Nigeria to achieve result.

  • Buhari Wins Second Mandate: Next Steps for Investors March 1, 2019
    Buhari Wins Second Mandate: Next Steps for Investors March 1, 2019 Summary • President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria was re-elected winning 55.6 percent of valid votes cast, a significant margin of nearly four million votes over his leading opponent, Atiku Abubakar. • The presidential and National Assembly elections were marred by widespread logistical and administrative challenges, which caused the election originally scheduled for February 16 to be postponed to February 23. The main opposition, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), rejected the results of the presidential election and plans to challenge them in court. • The biggest upset was Senate President Bukola Saraki’s failure to win his re-election bid. Saraki had been at odds with the president, and his loss creates an opportunity for President Buhari to install his allies in leadership positions in the National Assembly and pursue a legislative agenda that cements his legacy. • Now able to return its focus to governance, the Buhari administration will need to radically alter its macroeconomic approach and adhere more rigorously to a business-friendly environment to regain investor confidence. • Investors should expect a cabinet shakeup and look to several decisions that Buhari will take in the early days of his second term to gauge the administration’s priorities and commitment to economic reform and growth. • Next up are gubernatorial and State House of Assembly elections on March 9. As governors gain relevance and power in Nigeria’s increasingly federated system, investors should pay attention to the political actors who win “turf wars” in key economic centers like Lagos, Kano, Kaduna, and Rivers states, as well as other states where elections will be heavily contested.
