THE ROLE OF EFFECTIVE ADMINISTRATION IN
THE RAPID SOCIAL-ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION OF NIGERIA
(A CASE STUDY OF KADUNA SOUTH LOCAL
GOVERNMENT METROPOLIS)
ABSTRACT
The study is to the assessment of the role of
government financial institutions in the development of agriculture in Nigeria.
The practice of government financial institutions in Nigeria is culturally
rooted and dates back many years to the poor performances of the agricultural
sector in the country’s economic developments which can be attributed to the
traditional way of farming on the part of the small scale farmers. The
objectives of study are to assess the impacts of government financial
institutions on small scale agricultural development in Nigeria and to evaluate
the past agricultural policies and their effect on the development of the Nigerian
economy. The researcher uses primary and
secondary source to gather the data for the study. The researcher also
administered questionnaires to seek the opinion of individual respondents. The
finding of the study reveals that the granting of loans by other government
financial institutions to small scale agriculture is adequate. It was concluded that technical assistance
provided by BOA to small scale industries is adequate to sustain their survival
and that Bank of Agriculture has significant impact on agricultural
development. It was recommended that there should be legislation/law to protect
small-scale industries from foreign intervention. This legislation could take
the form of protecting infant industries from undue competition from large firms
or by giving tax relief or exemption to small firms during the period of
gestation to allow them find their ground in the market place.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Administration in the general sense is
usually described in terms of a cooperative human effort directed towards the
achievements of agreed objectives. It is
thus a social activity which can occur in a wide variety of institutional frame
work.
Administration
in a political setting and, as distinct from other forms of administration, is
concerned with the formulation and implementation of Government policies at the
grassroots level, a branch of Public Administration.
Herbert
et al (1900) observed that when two men cooperate to roll a stone that neither
could have moved, the rudiments of administration are taking place. He went
further to explain that this simple act has the two basic characteristics of
what has come to be called administration.
There is a purpose-moving the stone, and there is cooperative
action-several persons using combined strength to accomplish something that
could not have been done without such a combination. On the basis of the
foregoing, Herbert et al defined administration as activities of groups
cooperating to accomplish common goals. What to note about Simon et al’s
definition is the emphasis on cooperation and purpose. For them, therefore, it
is necessary to have groups cooperating and such cooperation must have a
purpose.
Stephen
(1985) defined administration “as the universal process of efficiently getting
activities completed with and through other people”. The process, according to
him refers to the planning, organizing, leading and controlling that take place
to accomplish objectives.
There
are features common to varying kinds of administrative organisation and much
administrative theory is relevant to all organisation, be it government or
private.
The Kaduna State Economic Empowerment
and Development Strategy (KASEEDS) as a set of activities which are carried out
by the officers, and which can be classified as/or concerned with planning and
development of the area. The SEEDS is to
help state governments to draw up and implement realistic plans to make NEEDS and
each individual state’s SEEDS come true.
When SEEDS was launched, the
National Planning Commission (NPC) issued a guidance manual entitled: The SEEDS
Framework – “Government for Growth and Service”. This expanded version of that
manual does not change the original guidance. It certainly does not mean that
states which have completed their SEEDS documents need to revise them. Instead,
the focus is on the SEEDS as a process: on how to take a strategy that has already
been drafted through to action.
It is
against this background that the researcher intends to assess the effective
administration in the rapid socio-economic transmission of Nigeria.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
An
analysis of government development administration in Nigeria reveals unpolished
and erratic practices. Very few government institutions in Nigeria have fully
fledged Development Administration departments and even those few concentrate
much of their efforts on politicking rather than professional Administration
(Career Administrators). Their
Administrative policies do not take cognizance of such factors as public wants,
opinions and objectives. Project
planning and Development are usually undertaken without prior research, project
implementation strategies are mostly handled by low level executives coupled
with low budget, summarily Development Administrations in government
parastatals are conducted haphazardly.
In view of this problems identified,
the research will seek to find answers to the
following question:
(1)
What are the roles of KASEEDs in the
socio-economic transformation of Nigeria?
(2)
How does effective administration impact on
socio-economic transformation of Nigeria?
(3)
What are the likely problems and solutions of
administration in Nigeria?
1.3
OBJECTIVE
OF THE STUDY
The
general objective of this study is to assess the role of effective
administration in the rapid socio-economic transformation of Nigeria. The
specific objectives are:
1.
To identify the role of Kaduna State Economic
Empowerment and Development Strategy in socio-economic transformation.
2.
To evaluate the impact of effective
administration on socio-economic transformation.
3.
To identify the problem of administration and
proffer possible solution to overcome such problem.
1.4 STATEMENT
OF HYPOTHESIS
The following hypothesis is formulated
to guide this study:
Ho: Effect
administration in KASEEDs does not have significant impact on national
development.
Hi: Effect
administration in KASEEDs has significant impact on national development.
1.5 SIGNIFICANCE
OF THE STUDY
The
study will highlight the functions of KASEED and its role inNational
development. The study will inculcate and imbibe into the spirit of our KASEED
officials the need to adopt an efficient and effective Administrative practices.
The
study would help in discovering certain problem areas in the Administration of KASEEDs
and through this, recommendations will be made towards improvement.
It
is hoped that this research work will be of particular importance to students,
Administrative Officers, executives, politicians and others that may find
themselves involved in this field.
It
is also in partial fulfillment for the requirements of the awards of Higher
Diploma in Public Administration.
1.6 SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
The scope of this study is to analyse
the role of effective administrations in the rapid socio-economic
Transformation of Nigeria. The study will cover the activities of Kaduna State
Economic Empowerment Development Strategy vis-avis the transformation agenda of
Jonathan/Sambo administration towards national development
There
are certain limitations which are placed in this study.
a.
Financial constraint: this is considered to
be the first constraint faced by the researcher. This hindered students from getting all the
needed data for this research work. This really did not help matters looking at
the very fact that as a student, there is always limited fund at ones disposal
which formed part of those factors that discouraged the researcher to go
further than this. This extent in getting all this needed data from this
research work. A typical example is the fund for going to different places to
get information buying of related literature text books that are not available
in the school library.
b.
Available data: in no small measure,
incomplete and inaccurate data also provide a lot of difficulty in carrying out
this research work. As a matter of fact it is because most of the senior staff
were either too busy running their official responsibility that made them hardly
available to give the researcher the needed time to gather information or they
were not just willing to do that, though some did cooperate just like most
senior staff.
c.
Time constraint: this was the biggest
constraint faced by the researcher because combing rigorous drilling of the
institution i.e. lectures, assignments (both individual and group), tests etc.
and carrying out the research work made it virtually impossible to dedicate all
the time needed to carry out this research work.
