The role of government in the Nigerian mobile telecommunications industry: a focus on cybercrime and mobile broadband policiesObi, Isioma Ruby January 2017 (has links)
A research report submitted to the Faculty of Commerce, Law and Management, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Management by Dissertation (MM-D).
October, 2016 / The role played by a governing authority is crucial to the long term survival and development of its governed unit, irrespective of the size and function of the said unit. In the event that a government fails to protect the interests of its governed, a state of wide-spread dissatisfaction and palpable frustration becomes inevitable.
Through the application of an Interpretive Research Paradigm, this study assessed the role of the Nigerian government in one of the country’s most promising industries; The Mobile Telecommunications Industry. The study aimed to expose the predominant role of the Nigerian government in this industry with a focus on the relevant issues of Cybercrime and Mobile Broadband. This research enquiry applied the Qualitative Research Approach. As such, the researcher analyzed relevant policy documents on telecommunications and elicited the expert opinions of key industry players. In all, 18 industry representatives were questioned about the happenings in the Mobile Telecommunications Industry. The interview respondents for this research study included representatives of the Ministry of Communications, individuals within the Nigerian Communications Commission, and Mobile Telecommunications service providers/operators. To further validate the information gathered from these individuals, various industry reports were also examined.
After a thorough analysis of the research data gathered from multiple sources, the conclusion drawn by this study was that the Nigerian government has failed to do what is necessary to ensure the long-term growth and development of the country’s Mobile Telecommunications Industry. The study proved that the government has constantly taken a somewhat lackadaisical stance with regard to the implementation of the policies and initiatives governing the industry and has subsequently given no explanations or justifications for its actions, or more appropriately, inactions.
Conclusively, this research study recommended that the governing environment of the Nigerian Mobile Telecommunications Industry be restructured to include a government that not only formulates telecoms development strategies and expansion initiatives, but also executes these plans whilst maintaining an unwavering accountability for its actions and decisions. / MT 2017

Agricultural development and urban unemployment : a simulation analysis of the Nigerian economyByerlee, Derek Ronald 13 August 1971 (has links)
The study critically analyzes the implication of various agricultural
development policies on urban unemployment and income distribution.
More specifically it focuses on the evaluation of agricultural
policies at the macro-economic Level in the Nigerian economy.
A system science and simulation approach is used to build and
test a ten sector macro-economic model of the Nigerian economy to
investigate the problem. The model simulates consumption, investment, employment and production endogenously. Validation of the
model shows that it is capable of describing the major trends in the
Nigerian economy for recent history.
By interacting with a detailed agricultural sector model, the
macro-model enables evaluation of agricultural policies in the context
of the total economy after taking account of the important interactions
between the agricultural and nonagricultural economies. In particular
the model enables some measures of income distribution and employment
to be included as targets of economic development planning together
with the conventional target of growth.
The model predicts that if current agricultural policies are continued,
urban unemployment and income disparities will become increasingly
more serious in Nigeria. Furthermore, the income differential
between agriculture and nonagriculture is predicted to widen
leading to a continuing increase in the rate of labor migration out of
agriculture.
The evaluation of two sets of agricultural policies, export crop
modernization and food crop modernization, leads to a serious questioning
of the present emphasis among development economists on
agricultural development as a means of steadying the flow of rural-urban
migration and reducing urban unemployment and rural-urban
income inequities. Because of the considerable multiplier effects of
increased agricultural incomes on nonagricultural incomes, both agricultural
policies produced a wider differential between agricultural
and nonagricultural incomes stimulating further labor migration out
of agriculture. This effect was particularly acute in the case of the
food modernization policy where the terms of trade turned against
agriculture.
Nevertheless both sets of policies and particularly the export
modernization policy improved the disparity in self-employed earnings
and wage earnings and produced a steady rise in nonagricultural self-employed
earnings which, under current policies, were predicted to
stagnate because of rising urban unemployment.
Other policies to restrain wages and increase government employment
demonstrated the considerable trade-off between various
groups of the population arising out of the complexity of interactions
between the agricultural and nonagricultural sectors. The macroeconomic
simulation model is suggested as a useful approach to development
planning where there is need to consider interactions between
sectors and trade-offs between targets of development. / Graduation date: 1972

Dysfunctionalities of Nigerian education, in relation to post-independence aims of social, economic, and political development.Adebisi, Ayoola. January 1965 (has links)
Since the first thesis on Nigerian education by a Nigerian was completed in 1946, several others have followed in quick succession. These studies critically examined the education system from the points of view of the qualification of its teaching staff, the effectiveness of its administration, the adequacy of its curricula and of the instructional methods used, the suitability of its facilities, the extent of its support by the Nigerian public, and the abilities and attitudes of its students. Most of these studies found that the Nigerian education system was a wholesale "export" of the types of education that enjoyed the most esteem in Europe, particularly in England, and which was only just adequate in supplying the needs of the Christian missions for teachers and preachers and of the colonial government for clerks and workers for the subordinate ranks of the administration.
