The crisis has been of great concern not only to the people of the area but to all Nigerians, the international communities and other genuine stakeholders. The Region is where the bulk of the nation’s wealth is generated. The focal point of this paper is the impact of Niger Delta crisis on Nigeria’s social, political and economic development. The primary essence of government is to ensure the security of lives and properties of its citizens. In the light of this, governments, the world over have always in one form or the other been actively involved in addressing security issues in their respective countries. This is hinged on the relevance of security and peace to the growth and development of a nation. It is cardinal and central to sustainable development of a nation, socially, poli...

It was set out to assess the role and impact of organisations and NGOs on rural women in Nigeria with particular reference to Edo-State. It also did a critical examination of the problems inherent in rural women's participation in development. Primary and Secondary data were used to carry out the set objectives. The paper examined and adopted the participatory development framework in its analysis. The research identified various income generating activities of rural women to include; agricultural produce, marketing of farm produce, crafts making and food processing. It was found that despite all the efforts women put in development, women's capacities are not optimally utilised due to socio-cultural and political hindrances, such as access to land, loans, education and other outputs. Other hindrances are gender issues which lead to marginalisation and non-inclusion of women in the nation's top decision-making positions. The paper concluded that organising women is an integral aspect of socioeconomic advancement of any nation. It was stressed that women's efforts would optimally be utilised for socioeconomic development which will consequently lead to self-reliance, if they are empowered socially, culturally, politically and economically. It was recommended among other things; that government and government agencies should integrate more women into top policy making positions for their optimum capabilities to be utilised.

The objectives of this study amongst others are (i) to have an in depth understanding of the concept of poverty and to determine its extent in Nigeria (ii) to assess the National policy on education in relation to the nation's philosophy and (iii) to ascertain their relevance for poverty eradication. Secondary sources were used to collect data; while the human resource capital and basic needs theories were adopted to X-ray the study. The study reveals that every responsible and responsive government has the challenge to make life better and more meaningful for its citizenry. It established a strong relationship between education and development and stressed that the topmost aim of social policies such as education, should be used to develop human beings who are capable of attacking poverty, through its provision of high skilled manpower, enhancement of income levels of individuals, thereby eradicating or at least reducing poverty level of the Nation. It also shows that limited funding in the education sector is militating against the development of education. The study concludes that education is a Sine qua non for poverty eradication and recommends that poverty eradication will be a mirage in Nigeria if there is no good governance to provide adequate funding for qualitative and quantitative infrastructure for the education sector.

It examined the problems associated with Oil exploration and its mitigation. Primary and Secondary data were used to source data for the set objectives. The theoretical framework was based on the resource curse theory and the environmental externalities theory. It was established that various problems such as oil spillage, retardation of vegetation growth, soil infertility, ill-health to members of the community, displacement of the people of the area, constant protestation of host communities, socioeconomic deprivation, and perceived marginalization of the people are associated with oil resource exploration. This research concludes that the oil bearing communities have not adequately been compensated for harm done them through degradation of the ecosystem caused by several years of oil exploration. Their oil resource wealth has been turned to oil resource curse as they are disempowered, and condemned to perpetual underdevelopment. It is recommended that Federal Government should exert maximum efforts in assuring strict compliance of its legal instruments by the oil participating industries for a sustainable development in the region.

The objective of the paper was to ascertain the effectiveness of succession policy in Nigeria. The paper assumed that succession issues have generated several controversies not only in Nigeria but globally. The system theory was utilised as the theoretical framework for the paper. Data was obtained from secondary sources from journals, books, newspapers and other relevant materials. The study adopted the descriptive method of analyses. It argued that in spite of the existence of succession policy, some Nigeria leaders are reluctant to hand over power and responsibilities at the expiration of their tenure to a successor. The finding revealed the following as challenges of succession policy in governance; weak institutions, sit-tight syndrome, and politricking among others. The paper concluded that much is still expected of government in tackling succession challenges; ho...
