Emerging as a crucial point of national and international security, issues of climate change have taken the fore. In the Lake Chad Region, more people have become more susceptible to the climate change, given the poverty level, unemployment and inadequate governance in these regions. Christened as the world’s most complicated humanitarian disaster, the receding lake which has served as a major source of livelihood in time past is now a haven for violent conflict and extremist groups. Assuming top on the agenda of African Union (AU) Peace and Security Council and the UN Peacebuilding Commission meetings held in 2022, its importance cannot be underestimated. To this end, this paper strengthens the evidence on climate-related conflict in the Lake Chad Basin and its simultaneous effect on human security. Using qualitative method, data was gathered through secondary sources, such as journal articles, reports from the Lake Chad Basin Commission (LCBC), books and online sources on the subject matter. Data gathered were analyzed using content analysis. Findings reveals that the vulnerability of the area based on poverty, historical antecedents to conflict and crime, as well as the growing population makes the response to the receding lake naturally violent. It is recommended therefore, that the Lake should be revived and nourished by joint collaboration from states within the region and international actors as a long term plan. Also, resilient measures through employment opportunities and skilled training should be available for the youths and most vulnerable people.","PeriodicalId":32684,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Administrasi Publik Public Administration Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80502354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many of the elections held in the country at federal, state and local levels where violence had erupted, had behind the scenes youths as perpetrators. While some keep making themselves available to selfish individuals and organisations who empowers them to make elections tensed, hindering citizens, especially young ones from freely exercising their civic responsibilities, this is only a fraction of the Nigerian youth population and not the whole. There are more youths who are willing to join the electoral exercise but have become apolitical partly because of threats to their lives and properties if they participated in the electoral process. There have been cases were serving youth corps members, officiating during elections have been attacked and killed by fellow youth, likewise youth who have gone out to vote. Interestingly, Nigeria has a burgeoning young population with more than 70 percent under the age of 40. For peaceful elections and for representative democracy, the youth have a pivotal part to play. Hence, they are both the cause for and the cure against electoral violence in Nigeria. This paper, using desk research, seeks to go beyond the narrative of youth being used as tools to cause violence during elections to argue that the effects of their actions hamper in no small measure the impact their population is able to make in terms of national development and representative democracy.","PeriodicalId":32684,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Administrasi Publik Public Administration Journal","volume":"07 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86002073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines the challenges of rehabilitation and reintegration of returnee migrants from Libya in Benin-city, Edo State, Nigeria. Maslow’s Human Needs theory and Push-Pull migration theory were adopted as a framework for the study. Primary data was collected through the use of semi-structured interview guide and non-participant observation. A total number of 20 oral interviews were conducted, which included 10 in-depth interviews with the returnees and 10 key informant interviews with the coordinators and stakeholders of the rehabilitation and reintegration programme in Benin-city, Edo State. Secondary sources included books, journals and Newspapers. Findings show that weak monitoring and evaluation, inadequate funding, stigmatization, politicization of the programme by the Edo State government officials and other stakeholders leading the reintegration programme, are factors that challenge the rehabilitation and reintegration of the returnees from Libya in Benin-City, Edo State, Nigeria. Among other things, the study recommended that effective monitoring and evaluation mechanism should be deployed, and collaboration with donor agencies and host nations by the Edo State government is also needed to improve funding and ensure sustainable reintegration of the returnees.","PeriodicalId":32684,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Administrasi Publik Public Administration Journal","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79753409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indeed, one of the talking points of the contemporary restructuring discourse is the need to drastically cut the cost of governance to allow more resources to fund the development of critical infrastructure. Understandably, the emphasis is always on the structure of governance of the executive presidential system and the bloated civil service. Indeed, much of the issue, however, is on the Executive, its imperial nature, its idiosyncrasies, and its style of governance. This paper assesses the features of the 'imperial executive' in Nigeria and the extent to which executive profligacy aggravates the cost of governance and hinders socioeconomic development. Using essentially secondary data, the paper found that the higher the recurrent expenditure, the more difficult it is to allocate adequate resources to capital expenditure in Nigeria. This scenario implies that a large chunk of public fund expenditure on the political elite makes it impossible to allocate adequate resources to other critical areas of development such as health, education, infrastructure etc. The paper suggests critical reforms in the structure of the executive presidential system as well as mechanisms to check the excesses and idiosyncrasies of the Executive in Nigeria.

It is uncertain if the war can be won because it has been exacerbated by lack of good governance. People have been deprived of economic opportunities, they are socially insecure and politically docile. This has had dire consequences for their human emancipation, which good governance attempts to build. Terrorism has found convenient marketability among the people as failure of the state in good governance has meant easy recruitment for terrorist activities. Therefore, for the war to be effectively prosecuted and won, sources of impediments to good governance need to be identified and addressed squarely. In other words, the curtailment of terrorism in Nigeria is hinged on abilities of the Nigerian state to promote good governance. Presently, Nigeria has been bedeviled with the twinning tragicness of terrorism and lack of good governance, the two signify failure for the state. Dishearteningly, today, Nigeria is on the verge of becoming a failed state because of its failure in good governance, Nigeria has continually witnessed decline in indicators of good governance. It has become incapable to provide security to citizens as acts of terrorism, banditry and kidnapping have been aggravated in the country.","PeriodicalId":32684,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Administrasi Publik Public Administration Journal","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86493075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data in this study were taken using in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation techniques. This study uses a constructivist perspective, which is to build ideas through data so as to produce a complete picture. The results show that the model for preventing and handling human trafficking must be collaborative with the central government and institutions dealing with human trafficking issues at the local level. An important aspect that local governments need to focus on is obtaining valid data on maps of human trafficking problems in their administrative areas. This will support efforts to prevent and handle victims of human trafficking involving government and non-government elements. An important aspect of the model for preventing and dealing with human trafficking is that local governments need to increase public participation in campaigning against human trafficking.\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":32684,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Administrasi Publik Public Administration Journal","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83514240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To do this, the author uses the Powercube-Gaventa theory from the perspective of hidden forms of power. The author uses a qualitative approach through interviews, observations, and document studies in the data collection process. This study provides several conclusions, including 1) There is alienation in PAN's internal candidacy process. Dynastic politics operates to control the other party and influence their decisions and support. Potential and experienced political party cadres are quickly eliminated; 2) Setting the agenda of the dynasty. Already exist at all levels of the legislature starting with the DPRD district, the DPRD and DPR RI provinces, and the regional bureaucracies; 3) Actual control of the party. There was a dynasty in the DPD PAN so an actor had a chance of being supported and promoted by the party. The results of this study are rather pragmatic, political parties do not create competent cadres, so they do not give birth to ideal figures through the influence of hidden power, especially in the local elections taking place at the same time in 2024. In addition, dynastic politics through party political instruments does not affect the existence of political waves and conflicts caused by the greater power of the regent (regional head) for the current dynasty-forming period.","PeriodicalId":32684,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Administrasi Publik Public Administration Journal","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90052214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
