The dynamics of oil and fiscal federalism : Challenges to governance and development in Nigeria
No full textThis thesis explores some of the major challenges to governance and development in Nigeria since independence. The focus of the thesis is on the dynamics of oil and
fiscal federalism, given that more than 90% of her revenue income accrues from oil, and on the continuing difficulties of securing from these revenues a satisfactory path
of economic and social development for Nigeria.
It examines more specifically how the productive application of the revenue streams obtained by Nigeria from its oil reserves has been severely undermined by the
politics of 'fiscal federalism', i.e. the manner in which taxation and public spending are divided up between the federal, state and local levels of government. It argues
that it is in the context of these fragmented and contested processes of oil revenue allocation and management that the origins of predation and corruption are located.
The main aim of the research is to discover whether and how reforms in the taxation and expenditure system could reduce predation, and direct the country's oil revenues
into productive channels within a development strategy that will benefit the people at large, rather than a small and corrupt elite.
The field research for this thesis was conducted at the federal and state levels of government, and assesses the problems associated with the contentious revenuesharing
system between the three tiers of government. It concludes that this dynamics of oil and fiscal federalism poses a major challenge, because it has ignored the
productive contributions of the federating units and based revenue allocation on predatory politically-motivated parameters. These have consequently led to
instability in the oil producing Niger Delta region, which constitutes a major challenge to the sustainability of oil production in Nigeria. This in tum has over the
years resulted in failure to achieve a satisfactory path of economic and social development for Nigeria
Pre-Vocational, Pre-Technical and Pre-Professional Programmes: Basic Tools for Vocational Technical Education and Training
No full textIt is noted that various institutions of learning such as primary schools, secondary schools, technical colleges, colleges of education, polytechnics and universities adopt different programmes and methods in training their pupils and students. The chosen programmes by these institutions depend on the ability and interest of the students in various institutions. These programmes are the basic tools for vocational technical education and training in various countries of the world. The training required depends on the level of institution of learning. The training starts from primary school level to higher institutions .The study focuses on the meaning of pre-vocational, pre-technical, pre-profession, technical education and vocational education. It also focuses on the occupational competencies required for training vocational technical education students. The study also contained the measures to improve on the training of vocational technical education students.

Restoration of cardiac metabolic flexibility by acetate in high fat diet-induced obesity is independent of ANP/BNP modulation
No full textThe present study hypothesized that cardiac metabolic inflexibility is dependent on cardiac ANP/BNP alteration and HDAC activity. We further sought to investigate the therapeutic potential of SCFA, acetate in high fat diet (HFD)-induced obese rat model. Adult male Wistar rats were assigned into groups (n = 6/group): Control, Obese, Sodium acetate (NaAc)-treated and Obese+ NaAc-treated groups received distilled water once daily (oral gavage), 40% HFD ad libitum, 200 mg/kg NaAc once daily (oral gavage) and 40% HFD+NaAc respectively. The treatments lasted for 12 weeks. HFD resulted in increased food intake, body weight and cardiac mass. It also caused insulin resistance and enhanced β-cell function, increased fasting insulin, lactate, plasma and cardiac triglyceride, total cholesterol, lipid peroxidation, TNF-α, IL-6, HDAC and cardiac troponin T and γ-Glutamyl transferase and decreased plasma and cardiac GSH with unaltered cardiac ANP and BNP. However, these alterations were averted when treated with acetate. Taken together, these results indicate that obesity induces defective cardiac metabolic flexibility, which is accompanied by elevated level of HDAC and not ANP/BNP alteration. The results also suggest that acetate ameliorates obesity-induced cardiac metabolic inflexibility by suppression of HDAC and independent of ANP/BNP modulation.The presentation of the authors' names and (or) special characters in the title of the pdf file of the accepted manuscript may differ slightly from what is displayed on the item page.

A New Form of Authoritarianism? Rethinking Military Politics in Post-1999 Nigeria
No full textDespite the vast research that has been done on the Nigerian military, virtually all of these studies have failed to critically examine the accepted role of the military in the democratising phase. This is important because the relationship between the political elite and the military in post-military authoritarian states guarantees either democratic consolidation, or its reversal. In Nigeria, despite an appearance of significant progress in subordinating the military institution to democratic civilian authority, the military remains a crucial political actor in the polity. It appears that the military has yet to accept the core democratic principles of civilian oversight of the institution. This thesis, therefore, explores whether a new form of military authoritarianism is emerging in Nigeria, with the aim of understanding Nigeria’s military behaviour in a transitional phase, from prolonged military authoritarianism to democratisation. To examine this military behaviour, Alfred Stepan’s concept of military prerogatives that was used to understand the military’s behaviour in a transitional phase in Latin America is applied to Nigeria.
A crucial understanding of authoritarianism in Nigeria is initially discussed in this study using mainly document analysis strategy to examine whether multi-ethnic states, such as Nigeria, tend to have authoritarian systems. Six hypotheses form the core analysis of this thesis: first, that the military has retained significant military prerogatives; second, that retired military officers are gaining influential political and economic positions; third, autonomous military involvement in human rights abuses since 1999; and fourth, that civilian government oversight remains weak, and facilitates military authoritarianism. These hypotheses are primarily analysed using the elite interview technique. During the first half of 2011, the author conducted field research where serving and retired military officers were interviewed. The fifth hypothesis is that the military has intervened in politics post-1999. The examination of this hypothesis relies primarily on key security-related media reports (mostly newspaper editorials) on the military after 1999. The examination of the final hypothesis, that increases in military expenditures might facilitate a new form of military authoritarianism, relies primarily on descriptive statistical analysis. In addition, this study collated relevant historical materials that relate to the military, utilising national archival collections.
The empirical findings of this research did not identify a new form of military authoritarianism in Nigeria. The study, however, argues that the unrestricted institutional framework accorded the military has contributed significantly to authoritarian practices in the post-military era in Nigeria. This study discovered that there were similarities between the Brazilian and Nigerian militaries in regard to their military spending during their period in power. Both countries had lower defence budgets. Just as in Brazil, it appears that part of the reason the Nigerian military decided to relinquish power in 1999 had to do with its desire to gain a higher budget, something that was precluded in a military government struggling to retain a sense of legitimacy. The military needed a higher budget to modernise and re-professionalise its institution after more than a decade in power. This feature, which the Nigerian military shares with the Brazilian military, appears to justify the application to Nigeria of Alfred Stepan’s concept of military prerogatives.
