- ItemExamining the Effects of Local Government Participation in Economic Development Planning of Sabon-Gari Local Government Area in Kaduna State(KASHERE JOURNAL OF POLITICS AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS, 2025-07-03) Yusuf Birisan Lawal, Lukman Omomeji Shehu & Yusuf Ibrahim AjaoDevelopment strategies, efforts and programmes are more and more being designed to induce local participation towards ensuring economic development. It is on this basis that the study examined the relationship between local government participation and economic development planning in Sabon-Gari Local Government. The study adopted qualitative research design relying solely on Face-to-Face interview to generate data for the study with the population comprised of six (6) respondents comprising Local Government Chairman, Vice Chairman, LEEDs Coordinator, Sabon-Gari and Desk Officers (I, II & III). The information from interview section was corroborated by secondary data from relevant documents. Some of the relevant documents reviewed include NEEDs Document, (2005) and LEEDs Implementation Manual, 2005. The data generated from the interviewees were thematically analysed. From the presentation and analysis of data, the study concluded that Local Government participation in NEEDs through LEEDs has promoted economic empowerment and development through a more articulate, forward looking, progressive and radical strategy with its inclusive participatory nature (involving government, private sector and the people) in managing the resources of the country for the benefit of the teeming population. However, many factors have stood against the dreams of this strategy including weak leadership at the centre, debt burden etc. The study therefore, recommended among others the need for Nigeria as a nation through its government should fight for debt relief and the need for a monitoring agency to be established that would help in the service delivery of the NEEDs, SEEDs and LEEDs programmes.

It was revealed that as long as employees feel as though their fundamental rights are being violated, gender discrimination will continue to be a problem that prevents them from reaching their full potential.

This should be ensured in both private and public organizations, with a concentration on the former, to make sure that all enterprises are successfully executing the constitution's policies while being closely supervised.
- ItemEFFECTS OF SOCIO-CULTURAL FACTORS ON GIRL-CHILD EDUCATION IN NORTHERN NIGERIA: AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS(Faculty of Management and Social Sciences, KWASU, 2023-06-15) Rashida Adamu OyoruThis study examined the social and cultural factors that impact the educational experiences of women in Northern Nigeria. Recent declarations and resolutions have heightened the focus on promoting greater female involvement in education. The region is experiencing a significant decrease in the quality of education, along with difficulties in getting girls to enrol, stay in school, and successfully complete senior secondary education. The main aim of the study was to assess the socio-cultural elements that impact the education of girls in Northern Nigeria. The functionalist theory was utilized as the selected theoretical framework, presenting a systematic technique to examine and comprehend the societal factors that influence the educational environment for young girls. It also provided valuable perspectives on possible avenues for enhancement. The study used a survey research methodology and employed structured questionnaires as the main technique to collect data from chosen participants. Multiple regression analysis was used to examine the hypotheses in the study. Research results emphasised that early marriage greatly hinders the education of girls in Northern Nigeria. The study suggests implementing steps to dissuade early marriages based on its findings. One suggested method is to have the child rights bill approved in all 36 states of the federation, as well as in the Federal Capital Territory. It is recommended that the government utilise legal measures to bring charges against those who promote gender discrimination in girls' education, regardless of their social standing or power.
