“…Access to safe drinking water is an indispensable human right as much as clean air, but, the majority of the world"s population lacks access to it (Lawal and Basorun, 2015). Despite several billions of dollars in export revenues since the discovery of oil in the late 1950s, at least half of Nigerians still live in abject poverty without access to clean water (Ojo, 2012). This lack of access to clean water and sanitation infrastructure has been linked with poor health outcomes and, by extension, loss of productivity (Pouliquen 2000, Brenneman and Kerf 2002; Zhang 2012).…”

<p>This study examines the role of politics in governance and service delivery (with a particular interest in water provision) in Akure, Nigeria. To achieve the above, the following objectives were made: examine the part of politics in water delivery in Akure by evaluating the roles of past and present administrations (1999-2017) in water delivery, identify various factors inhibiting and enhancing water delivery in the area. To fully capture these objectives, four residential neighborhoods (Ijapo Housing Estate, Shagari Village, Oke-Ogba and Alaba-Layout Apatapiti) were purposively selected for questionnaires administration. The numbers of residential buildings in the four selected locations were determined to represent the research population. In all, there are two thousand eight hundred and eight one (2881) residential buildings in the neighborhoods. Using systematic sampling method of selecting one head of household at every 10th building intervals across the locations, two hundred and eighty-eight (288) copies of questionnaire were administered, collated and analyzed. Also, the General Manager of Ondo State Water Corporation saddled with the responsibility of providing water to the teeming inhabitants of Akure was investigated. Data obtained from both sources were collated and analyzed and presented using the descriptive statistical method. The results revealed the policies, programmes, pitfalls, and achievements of successive governments of Ondo State in Water provision from 1999-2017. Based on these findings, practicable and insightful recommendations were made.</p>

“…In spite of serial developmental plans put in place by successive governments to generate and create meaningful developments, the current state of developments in the country is not in agreement this; many reasons have been identified to be responsible such as communalism, ethnic fanaticism, regionalism, social disparity, economic inequalities, religious fanaticism, national character, political instability (Georgina, 2014;Ojo, 2012). There had not been any mention of employee"s placement to national development.…”

“…Development in the real sense connotes that citizens of a country have access to employment opportunities, basic services such as education, housing, health services, and nutrition as well as achievement of a positive rate of distribution and redistribution of national wealth (Lawal & Abe, 2011). Nigerian governments were not left out of the real sense of what national development is all about and this explains why various national development plans have been World Journal of Business and Management ISSN 2377-4622 2018 put in place to better the lives of people in the country (Ojo, 2012). According to Wilson (2015), Nigeria experience in developmental plans is relatively youg which began with the Colonial Development Plan .…”

The paper examined the implication of employee"s placement in national development using federal ministries in Nigeria as focus of the study. It examined the competence of occupants of offices to implement national development plan; examined the relationship between employee"s placement and national development as well as challenges confronting employee"s placement and national development. This was with a view to providing information on whether employee"s placement enhances national development. Purposive 40 sampling technique was used to select 6 ministries from 28 ministries available and proportional sampling technique was used to obtain 400 respondents from these ministries while random sampling technique was used to administer questionnaire to the respondents. Data collected were analysed using mean, percentages and correlation statistical analysis. The results showed that the choice of occupants into the offices were not based on KSAO; showed positive relationship between employee"s placement and national development at 5% sig. level while God fatherism and quota system were the major challenges confronting employee"s placement and national development. However, it was concluded that employee"s placement should be based on information provided in job analysis. Thus, recommended that objectivity and KSAO should be the yardstick for employee"s placement.

“…The reality in Ekiti state reflect the affirmation of Arogundade and Olaoye (2016) that actual revenue generated within a state goes a long way in the determination of budget performance and implementation needed to trigger rapid development. In Nigeria the discourse of budget implementation/performance had drawn sizeable empirical attention over the years (Ugoh and Ukpere (2009);Ojo (2012); Obara (2013); Onaolapo and Olaoye (2013); Edame and Ejue (2013); Okpala (2014); Ibanichuka and Oyadonghan (2014); Ogujiuba and Ehigiamusoe (2014); Ekhator and Chima (2015), Arogundade and Olaoye (2016), Oladele and Olaoye (2016) ;Onyiah, Ezeamama, Ugwu, and Mgbodile (2016). However, none of these studies focused on the assessment of the nexus between internally generated revenue and budget implementation at state level.…”

The study examined the effect of internally generated revenue on budget implementation in Ekiti State. Specifically the study analyzed trends of components of internally generated revenue in Ekiti state including taxes, fines & fees, licenses, earnings and sales, interest and dividend, evaluated the relative impact of internally generated revenue components on budget implementation, and also analyzed the causal relationship between internally generated revenue components and budget implementation in Ekiti state. The study made use of time series secondary data sourced from the annual budget of Ekiti state for a period of ten years spanning form 2007 to 2016. Data collated were analyzed with trend analysis, descriptive analyzes, correlation analysis, ordinary least square regression analysis and granger causality analysis. Result revealed that components of internally generated revenue in Ekiti State has increased considerably over the last ten years, relative impact of taxes on expenditure implementation stood at 4.754741(p=0.6232 > 0.05), relative impact of fines and fees on expenditure implementation stood at 0.354370 (P=0.9624 > 0.05), relative impact of licenses on expenditure implementation stood at 1.312830 (p=0.8427 > 0.05), relative impact of earnings and sales on expenditure implementation stood at 0.166495 (p=0.9877 > 0.05), relative impact of interest and dividend on expenditure implementation stood at 2.478020(p=0.7849 > 0.05), and that there is no causal relationship between components of internally generated revenue and expenditure implementation in Ekiti state. It was concluded that though internally generated revenue components identified in the study trended predominantly upwards over the last ten years, their relative impact on the level of budget implementation is not significant. More so the study established that there is no causal relationship between components of internally generated revenue and budget implementation. The study therefore recommended that Ekiti State Government should device a new framework for boosting the level of internally generated revenue in the state, in such a way that potentials and resources lying unused in the state will be harmonize to foster effective and efficient budget implementation. Government in the state should devise an Information Technology driven revenue mobilization mechanisms to ensure that revenue generated from all sources such as taxes, fines & fees, licenses, earnings & sales, interest and dividend are monitored and properly accounted for, also there is need for reduction of external borrowing that can culminate into excessive deduction in the statutory allocation, which could dampen the capacity of sustaining efficient level of budget implementation in the state.
