Food policy in Nigeria: an analysis of the issues and problems of achieving food security in a developing economy
No full textThe focus of the paper is on the effectiveness of food policy in Nigeria in the last two decades. Government, in pursuit of its stated food policy objectives adopted a wide range of policy instruments and measures since the early l 970s. The impact of such measures has not been commensurate with the huge expenditures allocated for their prosecution. However, based on the widespread impact and awareness generated among farmers, the ADPs represented a fairly successful tool of mobilizing the smallholders. The input supply and subsidy programme and the various agricultural credit schemes were not as successful as the ADPs owing to insufficient planning and lack of their orientation to the needs of the smallholders. The overall low impact of food policy could be attributed to endogenous problems such as the weakness in food policy design and execution and exogenous problems rooted in the absence of sufficient linkages between food and other economic policies. To correct this situation, the paper recommends that more concerted and programme-oriented efforts be made to support the smallholders, while necessary adjustments should be made to restructure those institutions involved in policy implementation. In conclusion,four factors that are critical for the attainment of food security in Nigeria are identified. These are the full commitment to exploiting the local resource base rather than over dependence on the outside world for innovations, efficient management of resources at all levels, timely changes in policies and political will to reorientate all institutions charged with policy design and execution
The fluctuation of Federal Government expenditures: a statistical analysis.
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to discuss the degree of variation in Federal Government expenditures during 1970-86 period, which may be interpreted to indicate the range of choice facing policy makers in determining the categories of expenditures that are amenable to wide discretionary adjustments. The analysis was done in terms of the simple coefficients of variation. The analysis of indices of predictability through Theil\u27s coefficient of inequality was also undertaken to assess the predictive value of the various expenditure functions considered. For purposes of easy exposition, the paper is divided into five parts. Part 1 outlines the review of literature. Part 2 highlights the trends in Federal government expenditures, including the composition of and shifts, if any, in such expenditures over time. Part 3 discusses the coefficients of variation of the expenditure functions while Part 4 dwells on analysis of indices of predictability of the expenditure functions considered. Part 5 contains the summary and conclusion to the study
