“…In term, enormous fiscal pressures may lead to excessive debt expansion. Moreover, when there is high corruption among local government officials, the degree of corruption in a region deepens, decreasing governance capacity and quality (Abada & Ngwu, 2019). Furthermore, government debt management may be jeopardized, and supervision of the issuance and use of debt may be poor.…”

In the process of issuing and using local government debt, local officials may be corrupted by self-interest into inappropriately increasing the bond supply, leading to excessive expansion of local government debt and an increase in debt risk. Adopting the perspective of government investment efficiency, this paper employs a piecemeal causal steps approach to analyze the influence of local official corruption on local government debt. The results from panel data on 30 provinces in China show that the local official corruption triggers the expansion of local government debt. A mediation analysis reveals that the effect operates by impairing government investment efficiency. An analysis of regional heterogeneity further shows that the impact is weaker or even disappears in developed in comparison to underdeveloped regions, which further indicates that the anti-corruption campaign supports local government debt management, especially in developed regions. This paper not only explains the relationship between local official corruption and local government debt, but also provides new ideas for local government debt management.

Nigeria is a motley of about 250 ethnic nationalities spread across 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory. This omnibus political union rests on a twin tripod provided by the three major religions namely African Traditional Religion, Islam and Christianity as well as three major ethnic groups: Igbo; Hausa; and Yoruba, though these are not coterminous with the three religions. This study explores the intricate tapestries among religion, ethnicity and politics and its implication for nationhood in Nigeria. The study argues that this interface has created two laws and two nations in Nigeria between whom there is hardly any intercourse. It found entrenched, systematic segregation along ethno‐religious fault lines, and concludes that it is this deliberate exclusion of peoples from the plums of office that has engendered the recurring ethno‐religious upheavals and separatist agitations.
