    A Review of E-Government as a Tool for Building Citizens Trust in the Nigerian Government.
    (Sahel Analyst: Journal of Management Sciences, a publication Faculty of Management Sciences, University of Maiduguri, Borno State, Nigeria, 2015) Abdulkareem Abdulrazaq Kayode; Ishola Abdulrasaq Ajadi; Ameen Abdullateef
    Citizens’ trust in government worldwide has been declining over the years though not in a uniform pattern. Nigerians’ mistrust in government has been accumulating over the years by range of disappointments from the past and present government administrations. Successive administrations and regimes have always promised improved provision of public service and infrastructural development for the Nigerian masses as a basis for introducing reforms, policies and programmes. However, most of them ended up worsening the situation of the people. The objective of this study is to explore how e-government can be used to correct the public trust deficiency in government in Nigeria. The paper adopts available data and reviews of literature on the subject of inquiry. The review was carried out in carefully designed sub-themes to address the important aspects of this paper. The paper found out that there is a gap in the literature available on this topic in the past as little efforts had been geared towards linking the field of e-government to trust in government in Nigeria. The paper further established that mistrust in the Nigerian government was mainly due to by the high level of corruption, poor public service delivery, poverty and unemployment. The paper therefore concludes that the mistrust is not limited to military government alone. But surfaces in the civilian regimes thereby putting the legitimacy of the government into question. The paper recommends that the involvement of ICT in government should be offered in terms of participation and service delivery as a means to correct the trust deficiency as it creates avenue for efficient and effective public service delivery, mass participation in policy process, transparency in public procurement and elections. More so, the government must show strong political and financial will to support the growth of e-government system.

    Effect of Disciplinary Measures on Employees’ Behaviour in Offa Local Government Area Council
    (Ilorin Journal of Human Resource Management (IJHRM). Published by the Department of Industrial Relations and Personnel Management, Faculty of Management Sciences, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria., 2022) Ameen Abdullateef; Ishola Abdulrasaq Ajadi; Aremu Oluwatobi Dennis
    Disciplinary measures are very crucial in an organization to shape employees’ behaviour towards the achievement of its goals, but in a developing nation like Nigeria, it is the other way round. However, little research has been done on the effect of disciplinary measures on employee behaviour, especially on local government employees. Therefore, the key objective of this analysis was to examine the relationship of disciplinary measures with employees’ behaviour in Offa Local Government, Kwara State. The study’s data were generated through quantitative surveys from 126 employees of the Offa Local Government Area council of Kwara State. Data gathered from the survey were analyzed using SPSS version 22 and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation. The statistical result shows that the null hypothesis was rejected while the alternative hypothesis was accepted since the P-value (H1 = 0.736) is less than 0.05 significance level. Therefore, the study revealed a significant relationship between disciplinary measures and employees’ attitude to work. Therefore, the study recommended that management should enforce discipline on workers with a particular aim of managing their behaviours and being productive in achieving the organizational goal.

    THE CIVIL SERVICE AND CONTEMPORARY CHALLENGES IN NIGERIA
    (Department of Public Administration, 2015) Ameen Abdullateef; Muhammad Mustapha Orire; Akindele Iyiola Tomilola
    Civil service is the government workforce that covers all the ministries and the departments of the state and people who work in them in the formulation and implementation of policies and programmes. It is against this background that the paper examines the contemporary challenges of civil service in Nigeria. It is relevant to stress that the Nigerian Civil Service has become so tolerant that a considerable number of civil servants get themselves involved in politics which in turn is making the Service lose its actual essence. The paper therefore concludes that challenges facing the Nigerian Civil Service are poor attitude to work by civil servants, poor remuneration, indiscipline, undue politicization/political interference, corruption, ineffective service delivery among others. Hence, it is recommended that government, as a matter of concern, should deploy ways in which civil servants can be properly remunerated and serious matters relating to bribery and corruption should be treated with high sense of responsibility and accountability.
