Abstract: This paper, based on an empirical study, analyses the scopes, forms and nature of people’s participation in the urban local governance process in Bangladesh. It provides insight into why and how representative democracy has failed to ensure active citizen participation. In doing so, it explores the underlying socio-political, institutional and legal factors that should be taken into account when implementing interventions aimed at encouraging more inclusive participatory local governance practices. This paper argues that the institutional design of the urban local government system largely follows the political elites’ intention of consolidating political power bases. This in turn severely narrows down the scope for citizen’s participation in the governance process.

Abstract: This study uses the case of Nigerian economy to offer a robust insight on the extent to which trade liberalization matters for economic grow. Exploring ARDL modelling framework, we consider three alternative measures of trade liberation to determine whether the response of economic growth to trade liberalization is sensitive to the choice of the indicators of trade liberalization that is under consideration. We find significant effects of trade liberalization on economic but mainly in terms of trade openness and only in the short run situation. Thus, we recommend that policymakers consider alternative trade liberation strategies such as deeper integration framework capable of promoting the development of regional human capital and consequently long term economic growth.

Abstract: Food production in Nigeria has not kept pace with rapid population growth resulting in declining levels of national food self-sufficiency. Consequently, Nigeria faces severe food security challenges. This paper, therefore, analyzed the effects of population growth and climate change on food security in Nigeria. Specifically, the study examined the effects of population growth, mean annual rainfall, mean annual temperature, and rate of urbanization on food security (proxied by food production index) in Nigeria; Annual time-series on the above variables from 1984 to 2018 were used. The data were obtained from secondary sources. The study applied Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) unit root test, Johansen cointegration test and Error Correction Mechanism (ECM) on the data. The results of data estimation indicated that population growth has a negative impact on food security while climate change (in terms of rainfall and temperature) has significant adverse effects on food security in Nigeria. The paper recommends among other things, a set of climate change adaptation and mitigation measures to improve the food security situation in the country.

In ensuring that the Nigerian educational system, especially tertiary education, was not completely shut-down due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Federal Government of Nigeria on April 10, 2020 directed the authorities of the nation’s universities to commence online lectures. This study investigated the implementation of the online learning directive by universities in South-South, Nigeria. The aim of the study was to investigate perspectives in the implementation of the directive. Among others, the study asked the following questions: how did Nigerian university students perceive the directive on online lectures due to coronavirus restrictions in Nigeria? What were the dominant online teaching platforms adopted by Nigerian universities in the implementation of the online lectures directive? The study was anchored on the Technological Determinism and Diffusion of Innovations theories. The survey research design was used to study a population of 152, 595 from which a sample size of 384 respondents was drawn. Findings of the study showed that although Nigerian university students appreciated the online lectures initiative, the arrangement was challenged by lack of requisite technological gadgets by both lecturers and students and poor power supply in the country. The study recommended, among other things, that the Nigerian government and authorities of private tertiary institutions in the country should provide state-of-the-art facilities that support online learning in the digital economy. It was also recommended that the age-long problem of poor electricity supply in Nigeria should be aggressively approached and addressed by the Nigerian government.
