Item A Fitful Path Nigeria’s Faltering Counterterrorism Operation against the Boko Haram in the Northeast(CAROL 'I' NATIONAL DEFENCE UNIVERSITY, 2023) Saka, Luqman; Abubakar, Abdulrahman; Isiaq, Abdulwaheed A.; Bojang Ousman M.Nigeria’s security environment continues to be tense, tenuous and fluid. From all indications and yardsticks of policy planning and implementation, the country’s security architecture seems to be unraveling. As the nation’s security establishments confront multiple security crises especially in Northern Nigeria, their policy and operational reactions continue to be reactive. While the Boko Haram insurgency rages, a decade after the commencement of military operations against the group, military successes in the Northeast are at best modest. Following a decade of commitment of military resources including billions of dollars deployed to the procurement of armament and military hardware, expansion of forces’ strength and creation of special operation formations, one can ask why have the military operations continued to falter and security architecture unravel? The study was anchored on the qualitative research approach and sourced data from published and openly available official documents, scientific publications and newspapers articles, reports, opinion pieces and commentaries. Making use of this open-sourced information, this study explains faltering military operations and Nigeria’s worsening security environment to the failure of security planning, poor civil-military relations including lack of depth in intelligence agencies penetration of local communities across Northern Nigeria, rivalry among the three arms of the Nigerian Armed Forces, persistency of the poor culture of intelligence information sharing and lack of synergy and poor coordination among Nigeria’s security establishments. This study recommends that more attention need to be paid to intelligence gathering, synergy and coordination among the security establishments in the bids to enhance the prospects of Nigeria’s counter-terrorism operation and other military engagements across the countryItem A Study of Voters' Turnout in the University of llorin Students Union, Election of 2015(Department of Political Science, University of Ilorin, 2015) Aremu Fatai A.; Saka Lukman; Isiaq, Abdulwaheed A.; Aluko, Opeyemi I.Every human interaction has an iota of politicking prowess.

The focus of this parer is to assess the factor affecting the level of political participation of students in the election of their representatives. The rational choice theory is used to explain why voters votes or not, The quantitative methodology is as well adopted to assess the level of political participation of students in the union election, Conclusion is premised on the ground of building the nation's democracy from the grassroots to tertiary institutions while a rapid response to the culture of political apathy is recommendation.Item Development Partners, Civil Society Organisations and Democratic Consolidation in Nigeria(Department of Political Science and International Relations, Osun State University, Nigeria., 2018) Abubakar Abdulrahman; Zekeri, Momoh; Aliu Fatima O.; Isiaq, Abdulwaheed A.Donor support for Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in Nigeria has grown over the years with noticeable increase since the return of the country democratic rule on May 29, 1999. However, involvement and impact of CSOs in Nigeria's democratic processes have been treated with mixed feeling. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between development partners. civil society and democratic consolidation in Nigeria. Moreover, data for this study were obtained from text books. Journal articles. DFID report. USAID report and other similar international agencies. However. we discovered that there is absence of capacity development of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) at the state and local government level rather there is capacity development at the.national level. This has resulted to the marginalisation of state based civil society organisation that have contributed in demanding for accountability from political parties, elected officials, the media at-the state level. We argued here that for CSOs to effectively participate in democratic consolidation process in Nigeria their resource base and capacity must be enhanced for them to pay greater attention to grassroots development especially in the area of infrastructure.Item The Centrality of the State in Political Science(Publication of the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria, 2023) Edun, A.
