    Political Settlement Analysis of the Blight of Internally Displaced Persons in the Muslim World: Lessons from Nigeria
    (Intellectual Discourse, 2018-12-10) Ibrahim O. Salawu; Aluko Opeyemi Idowu
    The menace of conflicts and natural disasters in different states of the world had spiralled into a global phenomenon of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). These are groups of humans who had helplessly drifted away from their natural and ancestral home due to conflicts and disasters but had not crossed international boundaries into another country. They merely take solace by the protection offered by the spirit and letters of relevant international laws which have domesticated by member states. This paper seeks to answer the question regarding the extent to which the IDPs have become a menace in Nigeria. The paper reveals that many governments’ actions are the primary and the root cause of the IDPs while others are recipient of the domino effect. The paper relies on a panel data elicited from thirteen out of the thirty six states in Nigeria. The paper reveals the need for urgent measures by government to douse the upsurge in the number of IDPs. The political settlement analysis was used to proffer a better way of culminating the crises. Recommendations are directed to the individuals, civil societies and the government at all levels.

    Politics of Labour Unionism in the Implementation of National Minimum Wage in Osun State Civil Service, Nigeria
    (Journal of Administrative Science, 2024-01-25) AbdulRasheed Hamza Bamidele; AbdulRauf Ambali; Salawu O. Ibrahim
    Labour unionism has been seen over the years as one of the most widely recognized and well-known in every organization‘s workforce, which seeks to protect the rights and interests of employees from erratic economic exploitation. The study work, therefore, explored the main thrusts of labour unionism in the implementation of the national minimum wage in Osun State Civil Service, Nigeria. To realize the central objective, the study used mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative) and data were generated both from primary and secondary sources. The population of civil servants in the Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) in Osun state was 50254 and the sample size for the study was 400 using Taro Yamane formulae, and a simple percentage was utilised for the quantitative data analysis. Findings from the study revealed that labour unions pressurise for a decent wage and the implementation of a national minimum wage. Also, labour unions and state governments scientifically brainstorm on workers' requests. The Paper concluded that Labour unions in Osun are monitoring the activities of the government and its policies on behalf of the workers to ensure that government does not act illegally or unethically. The paper recommended that government should try as much as possible to maintain a good and cordial relationship with their employers/union members to avoid clashes that may wrench the organisation thus affecting organizational performance.

    From ‘Prisons to Correctional Services’: Exploring Evidence Based Analysis of The Plight of Awaiting Trial Inmates in Kwara State, Nigeria
    (Journal of Governance, 2024-06-06) Ibrahim O. Salawu; Abubakar Sulaiman; Yushau Alfakoro
    Inmates awaiting trial are individuals yet to be legally convicted of any crime but kept in police or correctional custody for ease of interrogation, among other reasons. This study, however, assessed the phenomenon of an increase awaiting trial inmates acros correctional facilities in Nigeria, using Kwara State, Nigeria, as the study area. The study employed a survey research design with mixed data methods as methodology, in which primary data were sourced through semi-structured interviews and internet, journal, and website data as secondary data. Structural functionalism was the theoretical framework for the study. The population for the study consists of inmates awaiting trial, officials of the correctional service, police officers, and lawyers. The study revealed that an increase awaiting trial inmates has led to prison breaks, prison congestion, and an overstretch of physical infrastructure available for convicted inmates, among other challenges. The study recommended that ease and speedy judicial processes should be adhered to too; the building of special apartments for the housing of awaiting inmates’s trials should be encouraged; and budgetary allocation should be increased to components of the criminal justice system, among other recommendations.
