It may be inferred that while the creation of the universe and the human and non-human entities that inhabit it is inspired by an act of divine innovation, societies that have progressively attained remarkable progress in all facets of human endeavour have been more innovative and receptive to modernization and change in nurturing their societies and building their institutions.Innovation, Modernization and Change as Life’s Guiding Forces, NEEDS: The Synchronization of the Various Reform Programmes into an Organic Entity, Overall Goal and Strategic Focus of the Ongoing Public Service Reforms, Strategies for Moving the Reform Process Forward, Results of the Reform Programme, Conclusion: The Critical Success Facto

ENCYCLOPEDIA of policies of the Federal Republic of Nigeria vol.13
Get PDFTracking the policy making process by the Federal Government for years have been very daunting but enriching experience indeed. Never before in the history of the country have, we had such a large number of policies as we have had in the past few years. These volumes are meant to provide researchers, investors, the diplomatic community, senior public servants and their counterparts in the private sector with a handy reference on the policies of the Federal Government. In these volumes, they can observe and compare the scope, Structure, sequence, pattern, approach and even weaknesses in the policy making process. As a result, they can identify gaps, patterns and the most critical ingredients and considerations in our policies as a nation. Building on these observations and patterns and the feedback they would provide, our policies can be made richer, relevant and more easily amenable to actualization. The Centre for Policy Research, Education and Development (CENPORED), have spearheaded the initiative to assemble, document and analyze the policies of the Federal Government in the wake of the bold democratic experiment, sweeping our polity. The main aim is not just to compile the policies and leave them on our shelves, but to use them as a basis for comparison, research and ultimately as instruments that can propel more articulate programme formulation, implementation and sustainable development generally. For many decades, we have expended enormous efforts in various development projects and yet our development challenges remain as daunting. Consultations, dialogue, research, debate and huge resources have gone into the policy-making process and yet the very ills, distortions and impediments they seek to redress not only remain but prove ever more intractable. How can policies serve the purpose of which they are intended? How can they better be transformed into implementable projects and programmes? These volumes seek, first and foremost to provoke a general concern about policy failure in our polity and secondly to help raise our determination to bridge the gap between policymaking and execution.Health and Related Policies; Health and Related Policies; The Environment & Related Policies ;Oil & Gas, Solid Minerals & Related Policies; Science and Technology & Related Policies ;The Constitution, National Economy & Related Policies; Defence, Peace, and Security Policies; Agriculture, Poverty Alleviation & Related Policies; Industry, Transport, Trade & Related Policies ;Education and Related Policies; Population, Youth, Sports & Gender Policies; Banking, Finance, Investment & Related Policies I ;Banking, Finance, Investment & Related Policies II ;Human Rights and Related Policies

Failure of century merchant bank limited
Get PDFCentury Merchant Bank Limited, which commenced operations in 1988, had its license revoked in January 1998, indicating that the bank operated for a period of just 10years. The bank, right from its inception was flawed, with mismanagement and a lot of insider abuses.
Regulatory interventions in the bank, such as the imposition of holding actions, and assumption of control by CBN and NDIC during its ten years of operation could not assist the bank to survive as a going concern, beyond 1998. Given the Board’s lack of commitment, managerial incompetence and inability to recapitalize the bank, its failure was predictable. Hence, the doors of the bank were closed for business with effect from 16th January 1998 and it was eventually liquidated by the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC).Overview of Bank Performance; Early Warning Indicators; Core Reasons for Failure; Regulatory Interventions; Lessons Learnt; Summary and Conclusio
