    Nigeria Cue from Global E-Governance for the Civil Service: A Bibliometric Literature Review
    (Researchgate, 2022-09) Olaleye Sunday Adewale; Atobatele Abolaji; Olaoye Olusegun Peter
    Electronic governance (e-governance) promotes accountability between the government and its citizens and is a global development. It is a process of using information technology to exchange data, communicate, and deliver government services. E-governance gave birth to an innovative model of government to citizen (G2C), government to business (G2B), government to government (G2G), and government to employees (G2E). This radical change is one of the great things that has happened to the world as the governance framework impacts the back-office processes and interactions. This study employed a quantitative methodology with bibliometric analysis. The results show the longitudinal and transverse waves of e-governance in academic literature, and this study proposed future research agenda.

    The Ethiopian Journal of Social Sciences Volume 8, Number 1,
    (2022-05) Atobatele Abolaji; Moliki Ahmed Olawale
    There have been age-long rifts between farmers and pastoralists though their relationship is both symbiotic and competitive in nature; hence this has often times led to crises which heightened tensions and religious intolerance. Consequently, many villages have been deserted which has affected the socio-economic activities as well as students’ enrolment in schools. It is against this backdrop that the study examines the extent to which farmers’/herdsmen’s clashes affect sustainable development in Nigeria. To collect data, interviews were conducted in some selected states in Nigeria where the scourge of terrorism was felt greatly. The sample size for the interview was 20 where the interviewees were purposively selected based on their experience in the subject matter and questions were asked through focus group discussion. The study found that government insensitivity to the plight of both farmers and herders is responsible for the crises which have negative impact on sustainable development. The study therefore recommends that conflict management mechanisms should be instituted, and also sanctions should be imposed to forestall future conflicts.

    Corruption in Nigeria is not only institutionalized but endemic, though every successful government since the inception of democracy in 1999 has made herculean effort by instituting different form of measures to fight corruption such as establishment of Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Independent Corrupt Practice Commission to mention but a few, despite this only little achievements have been recorded so far so good. Hence corruption has impacted on Nigerian economy negatively such that there is increase in the incidence of poverty, unemployment, inadequate infrastructure etc. which has rendered able bodied men to perpetuate dastardly act such as robbery, premediated killing, prostitution, election thurgery to mention but a few. Sequel to this problem that this study seeks to examine the impact of corruption on good governance.

    Impact of Public Private Partnership on Infrastructure Development of Nigeria
    (Unilag Journal of Humanity Vol. 8 No. 2,, 2019) Faruk Abubakar; Atobatele Abolaji
    Public Private Partnership began to draw attention in Nigeria when it became evident that the role of the state alone in the provision of infrastructure was no longer sustainable. A number of initiatives have been taken to address the dearth of infrastructure and forestall decay of existing infrastructure but the result is below desirable. It was on this basis that this study set out to assess the impact of public private partnership on infrastructural development in Nigeria. Data was garnered from secondary materials such as World Bank documents and Government Gazettes. Data was analyzed qualitatively and it was revealed that inadequate concession plans coupled with sentiments have rendered PPP inefficient in Nigeria. Some of the state governments gave concession to their cronies and political associates and this crippled the aim of the PPP as they became financially incapacitated to continue funding the projects. The study recommended that placing emphasis on merit rather than political patronage is a sure way of making the PPP more effective.

    Governmental expenditure and National development of Nigeria, 1990-2020: an empirical review
    (F1000Research, 2024-01) Atobatele Abolaji; Moliki Ahmed; Olaoye Olusegun; Gberevbie Daniel E.; DELE-DADA MOYOSOLUWA PRISCILIA
    Background One of the main goals of the government is to ensure a development that would enhance the living standard of the people in the society. In this regard, capital expenditure that would promote infrastructure is most desired. However, in Nigeria, the government spends more on administrative cost (recurrent expenditure) than capital expenditure. Under such condition, contributions to economic growth and national development become an illusion. Methods This study employed Augmented Dickey Fuller Test (ADF) with Bound testing procedure, time series data that covers the period from 1990 to 2020 in Nigeria were used. Results The result from the analysis showed that governmental expenditure has a significant effect on the national development of Nigeria. All the variables have a long-run relationship with economic growth (RGDP), according to the ARDL model’s results. If the government poor policies on education, health services, and infrastructure etc. are addressed, in the long-run, Nigeria will achieve monumental development.
