Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1966, a soft-spoken 32-year old man emerged from relative obscurity and humble background to become Nigeria's Head of State and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. His name was Lt Col (later General)Yakubu Gowon. He emerged as the compromise candidate following the political crisis that engulfed the country after the July 1966 military coup that had led to the assassination of the country's first military Head of State, General Aguiyi Ironsi. At the end of the Civil War in 1970, General Gowon's doctrine of 'No Victor No Vanquished' greatly endeared him to many, and he was variously dubbed 'Abraham Lincoln of Nigeria', 'a soft spoken but dynamic leader' 'a real gentleman' and 'an almost faultless administrator'. However, after he was overthrown in a military coup in July 1975, long knives were drawn out for him, with the hitherto friendly press and public crying 'crucify him', and now variously vilifying him as 'weak' and of managing a purposeless administration that had led to the 'drifting' of the nation. In this book Professor J. Isawa Elaigwu attempts a scholarly political biography of someone he believes has rendered great ser-vices to the Nigerian nation despite his weaknesses as a leader. He rejects the notion that Gowon's nine years in office were 'nine years of failure' as the General's ardent critics posit, arguing that if it is possible to identify a number of thresholds in his administration, it is also possible to identify the approxi-mate point in time when the strains of his administration became visible to observers and the public in general. He poses and methodically seeks answers to a number of fundamental questions: Who was Yakubu Gowon? Why and how was the reservoir of goodwill and credibility which he had accumulated by the end of the Civil War expended? What image of Nigeria did he have when he came into power? And did he ever achieve his objectives? The book, first published in 1986, has been revised and expanded for this edition ____________________________________ Dr. J.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Niger-Delta region is prone to conflicts and restiveness as a consequence of oil activities and under development, which, ultimately induce poverty. Oil, Democracy and the Promise of True Federalism in Nigeria attempts to demonstrate this unfortunate byproduct of federalism in Nigeria. Calling for resource control and the practice of True Federalism, the contributors of this volume identify some of the major endemic problems for the Niger-Delta people. It is in this light, that the contributors have presented the contending views on the challenges and opportunities on Nigeria's path towards the practice of True Federalism. Offering solution ideas for Niger-Delta development and the promotion of a peaceful coexistence, this comprehensive volume proposes hopeful, yet powerful arguments for the Niger-Delta region.

Download or read book The Political Economy of Federalism in Nigeria written by Dele Babalola and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-12-29 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses the political economy approach to examine the relative failure of federalism in Nigeria. It shows the nexus between the political and the economic aspects of the country’s federalism. The central feature of Nigeria’s political economy is the relationship between oil resources and the state. The author argues that the inability of the federal government to distribute the oil wealth fairly amongst the component units contributes to the dysfunctional character of the federal system. This deficiency is rooted in the country’s unbalanced political economy, which promotes over-dependency on oil and consequently an over-centralised federal system. The book concludes that despite its complexities, federalism has become the basis for the country’s stability. Therefore, ethno-regional demands for ‘true federalism’ will continue until the political elite reform the ailing federal system.

Download or read book Fiscal Policy in Nigeria written by Mr.Thomas Baunsgaard and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2003-07-01 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiscal policy in oil-producing countries can be profoundly affected by oil revenue uncertainty and volatility. Policy formulation should factor in the exhaustibility of the natural resources and aim at reducing oil revenue volatility passed on to the economy. Past fiscal policy in Nigeria has not been successful in this regard, since both revenue and expenditure have been highly volatile, to a large extent reflecting oil price developments. The paper discusses the role an appropriately designed fiscal rule, nested within the long-run sustainable use of oil revenue, could have in providing a more stable framework for fiscal policy formulation. It also highlights practical implementation and transitional issues.

Book excerpt: Fiscal management and broader macroeconomic policy is complicated when government financing is highly dependent on natural resource revenues and therefore susceptible to wide fluctuations. This challenge is compounded further in a context of fiscal federalism, particularly when sub national governments have considerable autonomy over their spending, constitute a significant share of consolidated government financing and lack a tradition of strong fiscal discipline. Nigeria happens to be in this situation: government is highly dependent on oil revenues and inappropriate management of the oil revenue cycle has historically been at the heart of macroeconomic instability in the country. In recent years, Nigeria's new fiscal federalism context and the increased autonomy of states, has added additional challenges to the conduct of fiscal and macroeconomic policy. Nigeria is a federation with power and responsibilities shared between the Federal Government and thirty-six constituent state governments' Local governments are constitutionally recognized but are subject to the creation, control and regulation of State governments. As in similar federal structures, the power and ability of state governments to manage their public expenditure depend largely on the fiscal federalism arrangements in place. It is necessary therefore to begin this report on States Finances by examining how fiscal powers and responsibilities are shared between the various levels of government and what mechanisms are in place for securing synergy and avoiding dysfunction(Chapter 1). This chapter describes the nature of the Nigerian federation. This is followed by a discussion of revenue assignments for funding the various levels of government. This will be closely tied with the arrangements for sharing common revenues, a very important feature of Nigeria's fiscal federalism. Section D discusses expenditure assignments. The concluding section of Chapter 1 briefly discusses key implications of the April 2002 Supreme Court ruling on certain aspects of Fiscal Federalism in Nigeria. Chapter 2 reviews the states' finances from 1997 through 2001. This chapter concludes that In the medium term, states' will need to vigorously address the structural constraints to their improved fiscal Performance. This will require specific actions to: (i) build a tradition of strong fiscal discipline; (ii) reduce and manage states' vulnerability to o i l price swings; (iii) reduce the share of inflexible commitment...
