    E-Government and Bureaucratic Corruption in Nigeria: Successes and Challenges
    (.Jurnal Studi Pemerintahan (Journal of Government & Politics),, 2020) Abdulkareem Abdulrazaq K.; Ajadi Abdulrazaq I.; Abdulkareem Zulfah J.
    This paper explored the successes and challenges of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) adoption in the combat against bureaucratic corruption in the Nigerian public service. This study adopted a qualitative approach via in-depth interviews for data collection and thematic analysis. Interviews were conducted within purposively sampled public officials with over ten years of experience in the public service. Two major themes were identified; successes and challenges encountered in the fight against bureaucratic corruption with the use of ICT. It is discovered in this paper that ICT has played a significant role in the combat against bureaucratic corruption by increasing the revenue of the government through the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System (IPPIS) and Treasury Single Account (TSA) systems. However, challenges faced in this regard can be attributed to the infrastructural gap, shortage of ICT skilled personnel and resistance by the public officials. It is therefore recommended that for the little success to be sustainable, those challenges must be mitigated.

The study employed a descriptive approach, using a well-structured questionnaire to gather comprehensive data among 285 employees at various organizational levels. Findings from this study revealed that staff motivation through intrinsic and extrinsic factors had significant effects on the continuous improvement of selected Flour Mill Companies in Ilorin. Also, it was revealed that motivation through intrinsic and extrinsic factors had significant effects on the customer focus of selected Flour Mill Companies in Ilorin. In conclusion, this research sheds light on the symbiotic relationship between motivation and total quality management, demonstrating that a motivated workforce is a key driver for successful TQM implementation and sustained organizational excellence. Organizations should design motivation strategies that incorporate both extrinsic and intrinsic elements. This includes providing extrinsic rewards for achievements while emphasizing the intrinsic value of the continuous improvement process, such as personal development and skill enhancement.

    This study investigated the relationship between adoption of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programmes and sustainable development with particular emphasis on MTN, Nigeria. Questionnaire administration technique via a structured questionnaire was used to source for data and information from stakeholders. Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient and Pearson Chi Square analysis was used to analyze the data with the aid of Stat a II. 0 statistical software package. The study concludes that the adoption of CSR programs such as skill acquisition, youth empowerment, support for economic, education, and. health development etc indeed has a significant relationship on development of the society. It is recommended that government has a role to play in promoting CSR through creating legislative and regulatory framework that would encourage companies to balance social, environmental and economic concerns given the already intense pressure brought by stakeholders globally on utilization of resources in line with the principles of sustainable development that underpins the concept of CSR.
