A Threat to Sustainable HealthCare Services? Examining the Effect of Structural Violence on the Policy Outcomes of Lagos State Health Insurance Scheme among Enrolled Junior Officers in the Lagos State Ministry of Works and Infrastructure
(Pakistan Journal of Life and Social Sciences, 2024) Dele-Dada, Moyosoluwa; Gberevbie, Daniel; Olu-Owolabi, Fadeke; Atobatele, Abolaji
In Nigeria, citizens face challenges accessing quality healthcare despite the National Health Insurance Scheme. Decentralizing the scheme's implementation to states, including Lagos, aimed at universal health coverage, has not effectively addressed disparities. The implementation of the Lagos State Health Insurance Scheme seems to perpetuate structural violence, reflected in increased expenses, discrimination, substandard services, and preferential treatment. Furthermore, the sustainability of the scheme remains questionable due to these systemic issues. Therefore, this study explores the effect of structural violence on policy outcomes of the Lagos State Health Insurance Scheme among enrolled junior officers in the Lagos State Ministry of Works and Infrastructure, using primary and secondary sources of data. Findings show unintended consequences emanating from the implementation of the policy such as dissatisfaction, provider shifts, non-adherence to treatment plans, increased compensation claims, and erosion of trust among users. From these findings, the study, therefore, recommends insurance broadening coverage, addressing medical conditions comprehensively, and implementing incentive programs for quality healthcare delivery, standards adherence, patient satisfaction and long-term sustainability within the scheme.
Impact of Voter Education on Curbing Electoral Violence in Nigeria
(African Renaissance (1744-2532), 2025, Vol 22,, 2025) MOLIKI, Ahmed Olawale;; Atobatele, Abolaji; Chukwudi, Celestina; AYOMOLA, Olurant; Dele-Dada, Moyosouwa
Preventing violence prevalent in democratic elections globally has remained a concern to world governments, election observation groups, electoral management bodies, civil society organisations, and academia. This is because a peaceful electoral process strengthens democracy, enhances election credibility, and boosts the legitimacy of the elected government. Voter education (VE) provides the potential voters with basic information about the significance and time of voting, the location of voting centres, how to exercise their voting rights, and measures put in place to secure votes, voters, electoral observers, party agents, and electoral officials, etc. in the bid to achieve a credible and peaceful election. However, despite several current legal and institutional safeguards, violence has been anathema to Nigeria's electoral trajectory from the start of the Fourth Republic. This study assessed the impact of voter education as a practical method for reducing violence in Nigeria's post-2019 elections, where mixed methods of data were adopted. Also, simple random and purposive sampling techniques were employed to harvest data from 389 respondents. The study was analysed using ordinal regression analysis. The study found that information dissemination impacted the reduction of the electoral violence significantly, while problem identification and communitybased processes did not impact the electoral violence significantly.

Nigeria Immigration Service and Service Delivery in Nigeria
(Pakistan Journal of Life and Social Sciences, 2024) Atobatele, Abolaji; Oyedokun, Olafimihan; Gberevbie, Daniel; Dele-dada, Moyosoluwa
The purpose of this study is to investigate how the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) provides services in relation to Information and Communication Technology (ICT). With the adoption of ICT, the NIS has significantly improved its operational efficiency, notably by introducing electronic passports and online services. Despite these advancements, the NIS faces challenges such as inadequate training and incomplete integration of ICT, which hinder optimal service delivery. This research explores the effectiveness of ICT in enhancing public service delivery by the NIS, evaluating both the successes and the ongoing issues that affect the organization's ability to meet public expectations. The study highlights the critical role of ICT in modernizing immigration services and the need for continued efforts to overcome existing challenges to fully realize the benefits of ICT in public service.

(HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES, 2025) Bello, Moruf Ayodele; Obembe. Mayowa Paul; Chukwudi, Celestina Ekene; Atobatele, Abolaji
This study examined the effectiveness of the relationship between the Oyo state government and its local governments in providing primary healthcare service delivery. This study seeks to examine and offer evidence-based insights into how these levels of government cooperation, coordination, and communication affect the provision and quality of primary healthcare services. This study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The study is an in-depth inquiry using a structured questionnaire and interview session. Data collected were analysed using descriptive methods. Structural Functionalism is adopted as the framework of analysis of this work. The findings showed that the relationship between the state governments is effective in the recruitment, training, and placement of primary healthcare workers. The study therefore concludes that a relationship exists between the state governments in providing primary healthcare service. The study guides policymakers in making policies in health sectors, especially in Oyo state
