The development challenges that face Africa are enormous and varied. Th e crisis of political instability, bad governance, lack of peace and security, poverty and diseases like HIV/AIDs. NEPAD recognized peace and security as condition for good governance and sustainable development. Therefore, in absence of peace and security, democracy and good governance cannot strive and where there is no good governance, we cannot witness sustainable development.

Not only are there differences in terms of their specific powers, but also in measure of power/influence exercised within the framework of normative rules or legal system of a nation to guarantee good governance. The objectives of this paper are to overview parliaments around the world vis-a-vis their control of administrative agencies, especially in Britain and United States of America and to highlight the forms of control that the Nigerian National Assembly exerts on the administrative agencies. The writers rely on published and unpublished materials such as textbooks; articles in journals, conferences and work shop documents, law reports; newspapers; magazine; and internet facility. The paper concluded that the parliamentary control of administrative agencies depends largely on the type of parliamentary system being prac...

The consequence led to decline in internal security, high rate poverty, bad governance among political office holders and reactions precipitated from the state raised questions about the effectiveness of governance and security agencies in Nigeria. These were demonstrated in the declining capacity of its institutions to deliver public goods, such as safety, transportation, water, medical care, electricity power supply and education.3 Key human development sectors like education, health, economy, judiciary and security agencies are poorly funded or underperforming.4 In the north, millions of almajiri students are sent to Quranic schools, far from their parents and required to beg for alms or work as domestic helpers to pay for their upkeep.5 The people involved in the alimajiri system ar...
