FUDMA JOURNAL OF SCIENCES 6, no. 4 (September 3, 2022): 195–202. http://dx.doi.org/10.33003/fjs-2022-0604-1065.
Full textAbstract:
Water is an essential commodity which affects life and livelihoods in the universe. This study examined the socioeconomic effects of seasonal domestic water supply among Kibaku People, Chibok Local Government Area, and Borno State, Nigeria. Random sampling was used to select 165 rural households and water samples for the study. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The significant water sources were hand dug well. The average trekking time to the water source was 10-101 minutes (24.8%). And the households require an average of 162 liters of water per day. The major causes of water scarcity include insufficient rainfall, increased sunlight intensity, pollution of water sources and increased population from the oral interview. About 60% of them stated water scarcity harms their socioeconomic activities as its time consuming (36.1%), causes long queues (48%) and causes conflicts at the point of collection (15.8%). However focus group discussions, interviews and personal observation, respondents believed drinking water is inadequate in Chibok. It was concluded that water available for household use is not sufficient. However, it is safe but contains some elements, not of the World Health Organization standard for good potable water. It is recommended that the community build a hub for water collection and distribution close to the village center. The government should provide water infrastructures to increase the potable water supply

Full textAbstract:
This study was conducted to find out the perception of the television audience on how the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) and the Channels Television have so far reported the abduction of over 200 female students at Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, Borno State of Nigeria. The survey research method was used to carry out the study while the questionnaire served as the measuring instrument. The residents of South- East Nigeria constituted the population of the study from where a sample of 384 was drawn using the creative research systems online sample size calculator. Multi-Stage sampling technique was used to select specific local government areas, wards and households that were studied. Findings revealed that NTA’s reports on the abduction of the Chibok school girls are often in favour of government while Channels Television’s reports on the abduction are often balanced. The credibility level of NTA’s reports on the abduction of the Chibok school girls was rated low while that of Channels Television was highly rated. Based on the findings, it was recommended amongst others that the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) must wake up and endeavour to properly give account of the girls’ abduction. The report must be devoid of ethnic, religious or political sentiment. Doing this will fundamentally lead to believability, which will consequently raise the credibility level of the reports.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the abduction of the schoolgirls in Chibok Local Government Area of Borno State, Nigeria in 2014. The paper examined how the abduction of the schoolgirls generated responses and support for the rescue of the abducted girls from people and organization from different parts of the globe. The Islamists terrorist organization operating in Borno State has attracted the attention of the world since 2009 when they started attacking government establishments and security installations northeast which later escalated to major cities in Northern Nigeria. Methodologically, the paper utilized secondary sources of data to analyze the phenomenon studied. The paper revealed that the development and innovations in information and communication technology which dismantled traditional and colonial boundaries enabled people to express support, solidarity and assist victims of conflict who resides millions of Kilometers away. This shows that Internet-based communications technology has reduced the distance of time and space that characterised traditional mass media. The campaign for the release of the schoolgirls on the social media platforms particularly Twitter and Facebook has tremendously contributed to the release of some of them. Furthermore, the girls freed from abduction have received proper attention: education and reintegration programmes which enable them to start post-abduction life. In this regard, social media has become a tool for supporting the government in moments of security challenges which the Bring Back Our Girls campaign attracted foreign and domestic assistance to Nigeria in the search of the abducted girls and the fight against the Islamist insurgents.

This paper account for the history of arm conflict between the herdsmen and farmers in southern Katsina Emirate. The kidnapping of Chibok Girls in 2014 was an eye opener to the bandits associated with the kidnapping of school children across the states of Katsina, Zamfara, Kaduna, Kebbi and Niger. Scholars generally associate the present stage of conflict between the farmers and fulani herdsmen as the root caused of the present spede of kidnapping and cattle rustling that affects the the north-western states of Katsina, Zamfara and Sokoto states. The paper argues that the banditry in Katsina state especially Kankara areas in particular pre-date the present state of kidnapping in the area. Kidnapping of 344 children of Government Science Secondary School Kankara on the 11th December 2020, marked a landmark in the history of arm conflict affecting the area and other communities bordering the forest of Katsina and Zamfara States. This paper argues that the Boko Haram (BH) insurgency, environmental and other social parameters greatly contribute to the spate of kidnapping in the area.

Full textAbstract:
Nigeria has had a chequered history of conflict situations such as civil war, inter and intra ethnic conflicts, religious conflicts among others. Northern Nigeria, in particular, has been greatly threatened by armed conflicts in recent years. Indeed, the remote northeast region is ground zero for many of the world’s most vexing problems, including an Islamic militant insurgency, crippling poverty, and declining development. In 2014, no fewer than 276 schoolgirls were abducted in Borno state by the Boko Haram sect that has ravaged the region since 2009. The audacious kidnapping brought the insurgency to world attention, triggering global outrage that galvanised support from many local and international actors. The girls have become a symbol of Nigeria’s brutal conflict. The failure of Nigeria's former government to act quickly to free the girls sparked a global Bring Back Our Girls movement. While the abduction sparked international outrage in a frantic bid to rescue the girls, some undercurrents were playing out locally that now deserve academic review. This essay is thus, an attempt to further interrogate the nature, nuances, shenanigan, politics and various rescue missions that characterise the Chibok girls’ abduction. It particularly reviews the activities of both local and international dimensions of #Bring Back Our Girls campaign within the socio-cultural and political contexts of the time while putting on spotlight issues of post-trauma facilities expected for the rescued girls and the fate of those still in captivity.

Full textAbstract:
Lithuanian public e-services at the level of municipalities are lagging behind the level of the central authorities. This is due to many factors, which leads to a slight lack of good position. A large proportion of the municipal authorities do not have e-service development strategies, or governing documents by the activities of the virtual space. It should be noted that this situation is in the part of central authorities too. This leads to the situation that the strategy aims are not fully realized. Although individual government institutions have been successful and effectively developing e-services, e.g. the State Tax Inspectorate is at the fifth level of public service. In order to improve the needs of society and citizens, a public service list was formed, whose services should be transferred as soon as possible to the virtual space, and provided with the levels of public e-services. The implementation of established goals can expect significant improvement in this area. Important, but still weak-moved to the virtual space of the public service areas is the environmental area. There has been no public e-service concept of environmental area in Lithuania yet. The article describes models of public e-services in the field of waste management.

Full textAbstract:
Although the rationale behind the establishment of local governments globally is developmental in nature, it is sardonic and appalling to note that development is far from these local areas, especially in developing nations with Nigeria inclusive. In Nigeria, provisions ofbasic needs like local roads, drainages, healthcare and education in these local areas are questionable despite the number of local governments created nationwide;it is on this basis this paper is undertaken to assess the role of local government in community transformation, with a specific focus on Abeokuta South Local Government. The paper adopted a descriptive research method and data was gotten through the use of questionnaire and interview from residents and local government staff of Abeokuta South Area L.G.A. The paper adopted simple percentage with a mean score of 2.5 or higher as benchmark, while efficientservice-delivery was adopted as a theoretical framework.The paper discovered that Abeokuta South Local Government is equally created constitutionally and funded internally and externally, however, it was found underperforming, as most of the local developmental jobs are performed by the state government. This was due toseveral factors such as adoption of caretaker committee which led tolack of political autonomy, inadequate funding, lack of visionary local leaders, corruption etc. Therefore, the paper recommends that for Abeokuta South Local Government Area to be transformedthe Nigeria Constitution should be amended to give full autonomy both in administration and fund to local governments,a democratically elected government should replace the transitional or caretaker committee

Full textAbstract:
The Asa local government area of Kwara State, Nigeria, is largely challenged by dwindling revenue generation leading to sustained budget deficits and paucity of funds for sustainable development of the area. This paper examined the income generation capacity of the local government and its implications for community development. The study used both primary and secondary data research methodology, which were interpreted and analysed. Findings from the study were that Asa local government generates insufficient revenues from both internal and external sources due to weak federal allocation and irregular remittance of its statutory financial allocation from the state joint account. The capacity of the local government to generate sufficient internal revenue is also challenged by poor tax collection capacity and enforcement policy and embezzlement of a large chunks of internally generated revenue by local government officials. The low revenue generation has reduced the construction of feeder road and community markets, and reduced drug supplies to the local government dispensary. The study concluded that Asa local government lacks adequate capacity to generate the required revenue for community development and recommended better training for the revenue collectors, improved political and financial autonomy for local governments and proper utilisation of revenue generated to improve community development in As a local government.

Full textAbstract:
The local government centre is an area that accommodates various local government activities, both administrative activities and services that meet the needs of the community. In Indonesia, form of the area is usually an office complex of executive institutions which is led by the head of the local government along with the local government apparatus, and the local legislative assembly. Besides having office facilities, the area is equipped with various public service facilities, such as commercials; trade and services; as well as education and health facilities. As a result, the area is not only a local government centre but also centres of service and local development growth. At this time, the government centre of the Brebes Regency has been able to become an important growth centre for the regency. Unfortunately, the area is only able to support development growth of the northern region of the regency, but it has not been able to encourage equitable development throughout all of the regency area. This study aims to determine a new location for the government centre of Brebes Regency. In contrast to other relocating of the local government centre aiming to resolve existing problems of the centre, the relocating centre of the Brebes Regency aims to increase the equitable distribution of local development. Taking into account the criteria of geographical conditions; conformity with spatial planning; land availability; social, cultural, and historical conditions; politics and security; facilities and infrastructure; and accessibility, as well as using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, the selected area is in the Bulakamba District, out of the 6 alternative districts assessed. This district has some advantages of its location in the middle region of the Brebes Regency, adequate spacious area, proper land ownership status and accessibility.

Abstract Purpose: This paper critically examines opportunities and problems confronting the Nigerian local government system. To assess why the practice of complete local government autonomy and governance is difficult in Nigeria and suggest measures that may help improve the collaboration between the federal, state, and local government authorities in Nigeria. Research methodology: 300 questionnaires were administered to the staff of the Nkanu-West Local Government Area in Enugu State, and 276 were returned giving a response rate of 92 percent. The Marxist theory was adopted as the theoretical framework. Results: Results show that state interference in local affairs contributes to a lack of local government autonomy and governance, and the constitutional provisions portend intractable inter-government problems which make the local government a whipping child and less autonomous. Limitations: Nkanu-West local government is the only local government covered by the study. Contribution: The outcome of the study will be a contribution to the existing literature in the area of local government autonomy and governance.

Full textAbstract:
The practice of Intergovernmental Relations provides certain conditions for two or more federating units to come together to provide services to the people. Local Government inability to function effectively is due, in part to corruption, financial and constitutional problems, due to continued strangulation of local government authorities by state government and also through the use of joint account financing. The objectives of the study generally, are to find out whether and how the Kaduna state government interferes with the autonomy of Sabon-Gari Local government in the latter’s quest to formulate and implement local policies for the provision of service delivery. The major finding of the study showed that the more accumulated financial resources of local government account, the more the state government takes out of it illegally, thereby resulting into less services provided by local government to its people. The study recommended, the need for the on-going national constitutional review to make emphasis on ensuring the power of autonomy of local government authorities should be given in full also the removal of joint account financing.

This study assessed urban service delivery in Ife East Local Government Area of Osun State, Nigeria. It found that not all residents were fully aware of the statutory duties of the local government. Markets and motor parks were the only urban services with an acceptable condition; all other urban services were adjudged poor. The local government scored low on statutory responsibilities; however, residents identified corruption, lack of autonomy, and other problems adversely affecting the performance of the local government. Recommendations are proffered towards improved urban service delivery in the local government area and others in Nigeria.

Full textAbstract:
Guyuk local Government operates manually, and as a result, it leads to a waste of resources as well as time consumption. Therefore, there is a need to computerize the payroll system. Payroll is an accounting term that focuses on the activities and computation of staff salaries within the local Government; however, this has been a long-time problem that the local Government faces. Looking at the complexity of activities involved in salary preparation, computers will go a long way to solve and reduce some of the stress and problems that are characterised by manual exercise. Technology has made the world a village where boundaries do not affect social and business dealings. This revolution has not left Guyuk’s local Government behind. Against this background, this study tries to reveal the potentiality of a computer-based payroll system. This system is built to manage the database of the local government staff and pay their monthly salaries on time. The payroll system is designed using the Microsoft Office Access database. Primary and secondary data is driven through observation and personal interaction with the officers using the then manual system. The local Government is under Adamawa state, northeast of Nigeria. It is recommended that the entered system be implemented to reduce the time wasted and corruption in the system.

Full textAbstract:
Delta State has long been facing many environmental challenges, mainly from oil exploration activities by the multinational companies which have, to a large extent affected the ecological environment of the State. This study examines community response to environmental degradation in Delta State. The study specifically examines the influence of environmental degradation on communal conflict and pipeline vandalism. Survey research design was employed. Three oil-producing communities were sampled for this study. They are Ebedei in Ukwuani local government area, Uwheru in Ughelli North local government area and Esama in Bomadi local government area, representing the three senatorial zones of the State. Ukwuani local government area has a population of 119,034, Ughelli North local government area with a population 320,687 and Bomadi local government area has a population of 86,016. The total population of these three local government areas is 525,737. Based on Krejcie and Morgan’s (1970) table for determining sample size, for a given population of 525,737, a sample size of 400 would be needed to represent a cross- section of the population. The study employed simple percentages as the technique of data analysis and it revealed that conflicts in oil producing communities in Delta State are reflective of the extent of the environmental degradation in that area. The study also showed that pipeline vandalization is caused by youth restlessness resulting from the economic hardship in Delta State. The study concludes that environmental degradation is fuelling communal conflicts and pipeline vandalism in Delta State. The study recommends that the State government need to embark on programme and projects that have direct bearing on the people of the region. The study also recommends that the multinational corporations operating in the region need to address seriously their corporate social responsibility to host communities.

Full textAbstract:
The concept of Regional Government comes from the translation of Local Goverman which basically contains three meanings, namely: First means local government, Second: means local government, Third: means local area. The definition of local in the first sense refers to organizations/institutions/bodies whose function is to administer regional government. Local understanding in the second sense, government activities carried out by the Regional Government. The definition of local in the third sense refers to an autonomous region or region. The granting of authority (devolution of authority) to regional governments is an absolute necessity and cannot be avoided. The positive aspect of giving authority to the Regional Government is that the tasks of the government will be carried out better, because the people in the area already understand the context of social, economic and political life around their environment. The Regional Government fully understands the needs of its people and how to mobilize its resources and sources of funds. In order to realize good local government (Good Government) and in accordance with the regional autonomy mission contained in Law Number 23 of 2014 concerning regional government which accommodates community involvement in the framework of increasing development.

Full textAbstract:
The measurement of E-Government user satisfaction at local governments in Indonesia still needs to be improved to achieve the high accountability demanded by the central government. Based on the theory of behavior, six factors influence the satisfaction of local government E-Government users, namely knowledge of ease of use, trust, function and form interaction, reliability, content and display of information, and support. This study examines the influence of these six factors on the E-Government Quality of local governments in the province of West Java. Respondents in this study were the head of the West Java regional government agency. This study uses PLS-SEM and succeeds in proving that there is a positive and significant effect of ease of use, trust, function and form interaction, reliability, content and display of information, and support for local government E-Government user satisfaction. These findings provide practical contributions as a guide for local governments to improve E-Government Quality. Future research needs to expand the scope of the observation area, incorporate subjective and objective scales of user satisfaction variables, and develop other variables based on other theories such as contingency theory, agency theory, and dynamic capabilities theory.

The Training and Development Scheme (TDS) is an affirmative action-based program located in the Greater Durban Area of Kwazulu-Natal. The program was conceived in 1992 to address the racial and gender disparities in the Durban Metropolitan Area. At the time the Scheme was introduced, the transition from an apartheid city council to a non-racial council had yet to take place, and the uneven racial and gender employment patterns were all too evident. The TDS would be one of the mechanisms to address the under-representation of Black (Indian, Colored, and African) employees in the management cadre of local and provincial government. The Training and Development Scheme has since evolved from a small affirmative action pilot project into a comprehensive human resource development program with additional objectives and partnerships. It is envisaged that at the end of the 1997–98 program, approximately 145 participants would have graduated from the Scheme. The participants would have been provided with education and training that complies with the requirements of the National Qualifications Framework and is dynamically linked to the broader institutional transformational issues of local and provincial government management. The Training and Development Scheme has since been upgraded and since 1998, has been offered as a Post-Graduate Diploma in Public Administration (Development Management) by the School of Public Policy and Development Management of the University of Durban-Westville.

The stakeholder theory has been in the management agenda for about thirty years and reservations about its acceptance as a comprehensive theory still remains. It was introduced as a managerial issue by the Labour Party in 1997 aiming to make public management more inclusive. This article aims to contribute to the stakeholder theory adding descriptive issues to its theoretical basis. The findings are derived from an inductive investigation carried out with English Local Authorities, which will most likely be reproduced in other contexts. Data collection and analysis is based on a data triangulation method that involves case-studies, interviews of validation and analysis of documents. The investigation proposes a model for representing the nature of the relationships between stakeholders and the decision-making process of such organizations. The decision-making of local government organizations is in fact a stakeholder-based process in which stakeholders are empowered to exert influences due to power over and interest in the organization's operations and outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
Research concerned with Scottish local government reform has largely ignored the implications for one aspect of education provision – instrumental music instruction. This paper attempts to focus on this area through exploring the main policy issues with regard to the delivery of this service during a period of change. It is argued that the experience of music tuition under Scotland’s new unitary authority structure is an example of how local government can misinterpret its responsibilities towards the local community and, in doing so, threaten its continued influence over the formation of education policy. It is suggested that the administration of music instruction could supply local authorities with the opportunity to strengthen local democracy through empowering communities in the policy formation process. However, inadequate delivery may lead to the intervention of central government and councils’ loosing control over an area of their education provision.

Full textAbstract:
Physical inactivity is a major public health issue. For the prevention and management of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), such as cardiovascular disease, type-2 diabetes, and a number of malignancies, regular physical activity is a critical protective factor. Along with helping to maintain a healthy weight and overall wellbeing, physical activity has positive effects on mental health, including the avoidance of cognitive decline and the symptoms of despair and anxiety. Local governments all across the world have responded to this problem by launching population-level projects that give locals access to exercise opportunities. Local governments, through the implementation of their own tasks of health promotion and protection, carry out public health tasks as defined by the Law of 11 September 2015 on Public Health. These tasks include activities in the area of physical activity.
The aim of the article was to show the role of local government in promoting physical activity among the local community. The article discusses such issues as WHO recommendations for physical activity as well as activities undertaken by local governments in the area of health promotion in the form of health policy programs and activities carried out in cooperation with NGOs.

Evaluation is the study and the assessment on the local regulation draft regulated in accordance with the law in the field of local government and other statutory regulations to find out if there are things that are contrary to the public interest, and/or higher legislation and/or decency. The evaluation on the local regulation draft in the regency/city area regarding local taxes and Local Retribution by the governor as a representative of the central government is a form of authority de-concentration delegated by the central government to the governor. The evaluation process is carried out before the relevant legal norms are binding on the general public. The central government gradually evaluates, tests, and even rejects the local regulation draft. Regarding the implementation of the evaluation, in practice it still creates complexities of obstacles in the evaluation of local regulation draft which actually has an impact on legal certainty, especially the legal interests of the district/city government. The problems of this research were how to evaluate the implementation of the Local Regulation Draft concerning Local Taxes and Local Retribution by the Governor and the obstacles in the implementation of the evaluation of the Local Regulation Draft concerning Local Taxes and Local Retribution by the Governor. The approach method used in this research was the normative legal method (juridical normative), while the analysis used was qualitative analysis. The data sources used were primary legal materials obtained through laws and regulations, and secondary legal materials sourced from various official documents. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the evaluation of the local regulation draft in the regency/city area regarding local taxes and local retribution by the Governor seen from the role and authority of the institution has been in accordance with the legislation, but when viewed from the side of the procedures and time regulated in its implementation it has not been effective and does it not provide legal certainty. Obstacles in evaluating the local regulation draft in the regency/city area are the ineffectiveness of tiered supervision and the inaccuracy of time as stipulated in the legislation.

After reviewing innovation research literature with respect to its applicability to local government innovation as a response to fiscal stress, it sets forth six research questions for exploring the relationship between innovation and local fiscal austerity. The innovation research literature is then examined with respect to each of these questions to determine what findings or hypotheses emerge from this existing body of research which are relevant to these newly formulated questions.

This work aims to provide evidence on the impact of public investment on local business decisions. In particular we want to see the effect of public investment on the development of local area - measured by GDP and employment - and therefore the effect that the development of the area determines the location decisions of businesses.In other words, we therefore wish to demonstrate how the infrastructure is one of the determinants of competitiveness and development potential of an area of active firms. A good level of infrastructure produces significant advantages (so-called positive externalities) for the local economy because, not only allows to increase the productivity of factors of production, reducing costs, but also influences the degree of attraction of the area (residents, tourists, businesses, funders), the location decisions of new businesses, the strengthening of existing ones.The conceptual framework draws on the contributions made by many national and international literature on the role that public investment play in economic growth in the territories and the attractiveness of the territory.The paper is organized in two parts. Part 1 discusses the concept of local public investment, which is under a legal entity, examines the issue of investment planning and illustrates how the literature has suggested and tested empirically with reference to the role of public investment in the dynamics of growth and competitiveness of the territories. In the Part 2, is empirically tested the research hypothesis, through an econometric analysis, describing the models and variables used in the application of panel techniques, and presents the results of the estimates, while last section concludes with summary of some considerations.
