The ongoing year has seen momentous difficulties in Nigeria’s outer connection because of local security insurgency, for example, Boko Haram, Fulani herders, criminals, and scoundrels. This paper for the most part examines the Boko haram insurrection and its impacts on Nigeria's international strategy utilising the linkage theory.

    Minimum Wage Increases And Civil Servants' Welfare In Nigeria’s Fourth Republic: An Examination Of Lagos And Osun States Civil Service
    (International Journal of Advances in Engineering and Management (IJAEM), 2014-11-17) Kareem Babatunde Musibau; Abdul Rasheed Hamza Bamidele
    This study examines the impact of minimum wage increases on civil servants' welfare within the context of Nigeria’s Fourth Republic, focusing on Lagos and Osun States. The study employs both quantitative and qualitative methodologies, the research analyses survey data from civil servants to assess the effectiveness of minimum wage policies in addressing welfare issues. A total number of 400 questionnaires were distributed while 347 were validly returned. Findings reveal that while minimum wage increments are intended to enhance workers' living standards, challenges such as budget limitations, inflation, and administrative capacity significantly hinder their effective implementation. In Osun State, economic constraints, including delayed salary payments, were identified as key barriers. Similarly, in Lagos, where internally generated revenue is comparatively higher, responses indicate that while wage implementation is smoother, rising living costs erode purchasing power gains. The study also highlights how limited administrative capacity and inadequate resource allocation exacerbate these challenges, undermining civil servants' access to essential needs like housing, healthcare, and education. The paper concluded that the minimum wage policy in Nigeria faces barriers like inflation, budget limits, and administrative issues, underscoring the need for reforms and adjustments. It was recommended that the government should conduct a regular assessment of the economic and social impact of minimum wage adjustments following each five-year review. Data-driven insights into the effectiveness of wage policies that would guide future adjustments.
