    Background: Employee remunerations and welfare packages naturally constitute the two major determinate factors that stimulate negative or positive reactions towards employee performance in an organisation. Objective: The study examines the effects of remuneration and welfare packages on employee performance in Nigerian public universities. Methodology: The researcher employed a mixed research method. A total of 100 questionnaires were administered to the academics and non-academic staff of the University of Ilorin and Kwara State University Malate through random sampling; hypotheses were tested using simple percentages and chi square. Results: This menace has resulted in many negative effects, such as strikes, protests, corruption, dismal performance, slow development, side work, and nonchalant attitude, among other factors, within the staff of Nigerian public universities. Conclusion: Policies on remunerations should be reviewed, salaries and wages should be paid as when due; also, employees taking home pay should be capable of taking care of their needs, and welfare packages should be improved in order to improve employee performance for an effective, efficient and workable Nigeria public enterprises

    NIGERIAN LOCAL GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATION: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE THIRD AND FOURTH REPUBLICS
    (Malete Journal of Accounting and Finance, 2023-11-04) Towoju Adedoyin John; Mohammed Idris Danjuma; Ibrahim O Salawu
    Abstract Local governments are not independent unlike nation-states, which derives their existence and powers from the law enacted by a higher government. While they are constitutionally provided for as a third tier and independent level of government, like the other two; the Federal and State Governments in Nigeria. Local government in Nigeria is rooted on historical antecedents of reforms. The 1976 Local Government Reform in Nigeria and the subsequent one that followed were geared towards making local governments, the bedrock for socio-economic and political development. Somehow, the 1999 constitution of the fourth republic seems to have overridden the gains and aspirations of this tier of government, this assertion can be verified by looking at how the 1999 constitution undermined the autonomy and aspiration as well as the efficacy of grassroots governance, unlike the 1989 constitution of the third republic that gives more power to local governments. The major findings were that each reform measure was necessitated by the short-comings inherent in the preceding system; some of the reforms were far reaching and had positive impacts, while others were cosmetic in nature and mainly for political expediency. The paper recommends among other things the strengthening of local governments in the country, through granting of considerable autonomy, especially financial, political as well as administrative. Finally, the paper concludes that since the local government today remains the key institution in local governance, there is a need for another constitutional arrangement or reform in order to ensure autonomy of local governments politically and financially.
