As a new and evolving mechanism, the e-Administration aids a seamless service-oriented and real-time information exchange between citizens and government, students and school authorities, etc. The study, therefore, focused on the utilisation of ICT in delivering services in universities. The review focused primarily on secondary data from journals, textbooks, and internet sources. Findings from the study indicate that most university students benefit more from the use of ICT in carrying out their academic activities and other personal endeavours. The study also adopted the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) which stresses that when teachers and learners are given a modern and new technology like the ICT instruments, two (2) factors persuade their decisions on when and how they would use “Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use”. Findings from the study also indicate that e-Administration as it is used in universities has certain drawbacks ranging from poor connectivity, unstable power supply, and lack of skill/training amongst others. The study found that access to the internet is directly related/proportionate to students’ performance as students with access to quality internet performed better compared to others who had limited access. There were further pieces of evidence of the existence of ICT instruments since the early 2000s in many universities but mostly revolve around telephones and basic computer software such as Microsoft word, as well as other internet connectivity-based communication systems like e-mail. It is, therefore, necessary for governments and university administrations to come up with a policy that addresses the issues/challenges hampering the full utilisation of ICT in universities.","PeriodicalId":363531,"journal":{"name":"African Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities Research","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130406994","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}

It analyses the trend of public debt and its measure of sustainability and how it relates to the export earnings of Nigeria. Granger causality was used to test the causality effect of public debts on Nigeria's exports (oil and non-oil exports). Also, threshold regression analysis was used to investigate the relationship between public debt and exports of Nigeria. Granger causality results show that the export of goods and services of Nigeria granger causes external debt while external debt does not granger cause the export of goods and services. Domestic debt has a statistically significant influence on exports of Nigeria, but a threshold exists for this to avoid the crowding-out effect and higher interest rate, which will influence exports negatively. Hence, for Nigeria as a nation to maintain the sustainability of its domestic debt in relation to exports, there is an existence of a maximum threshold limit of ₦6,538 billion, while external debt should be below ₦3,178 billion.","PeriodicalId":363531,"journal":{"name":"African Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities Research","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127500618","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}

M","doi":"10.52589/ajsshr-y4nolpfk","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.52589/ajsshr-y4nolpfk","url":null,"abstract":"The creation of artificial boundaries by colonialist generates desire for cross-border trade as potential instrument for economic integration and development in West Africa. There appears, however, contradictions in states’ policies in Africa which tend to overlook the inviolable boundaries compelling the need for economic interaction across the border for economic development. Paradoxically, neighboring states in Africa, more often than not, capitalize on the trade differences along the border to restrict economic interaction rather than promoting it. Nigeria has recently found itself in the dilemma of either outright trade protection for her economy or liberalizing its trade in the midst of smuggling-induced neighboring countries. Consequently on August 19,2019 President Muhammadu Buhari closed Nigeria's borders with Benin and Niger, declaring that the time had come to end rampant smuggling from those countries. This paper offers a critique of Nigeria’s Border trade policies over the years. The paper intends to challenge the predominant protectionist tendencies among the policy makers in the country. It argued that policy makers in Nigeria should first take measures to refurbish our national economy and then engage all the stakeholders in regional decision making and implementation mechanisms for proper regional trade policies. This will go a long way in providing a framework for intra-regional trade so that the regional environment will encourage more of Nigeria’s trade with its ECOWAS neighbours vis-à-vis sustainable economic growth in the region. If ECOWAS is to succeed in achieving sustainable development in the region, then Nigeria will be the biggest beneficiary; hence, her need to sacrifice more.","PeriodicalId":363531,"journal":{"name":"African Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities Research","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133935345","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}

In all cases, the choice of their appointees is not always the choice and wishes of the local people and the masses at the grassroot always rejected them. The most fundamental problem inherent in caretaker committees of local government council is that caretaker committees are conduit pipes for corruption by the state governors to siphon off local government councils’ finances. The state governors solely or in tandem with their party leaders handpick few individuals viewed as core loyalists to the governors. Local government councils ought to be managed by democratically elected individuals and not the state governors appointing their cronies and loyalists as caretaker committees’ chairmen without regard to the constitutional provisions for democratically elected local government council’s chairmen. Presently in Nigeria, the state governors are truncating the tenure of the democratically elected council officials and replacing them with members of the ruling political party in the state as caretaker committee. We perused at the constitutional provisions for local government councils through the Democratic Participatory Theory. This paper studied carefully the reasons for state governors in Nigeria setting up caretaker committees and the impact of these committees on local government councils in the country. Based on the conducts of the state governors, it was recommended that state governors who fail, neglect and refuse to conduct free and fair elections for local government councils in a state should be prosecuted after their tenures and if found guilty be given maximum capital punishment. This would serve as a deterrent to others in the future, among others.","PeriodicalId":363531,"journal":{"name":"African Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities Research","volume":"116 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131484364","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}
