Despite these efforts, the nation has grappled with a myriad of issues that still undermine good governance and political security. These challenges include weak institutional capacity, corruption, poor leadership, inadequate public service delivery, political instability, limited resources, poor infrastructure, and a shortage of skilled human resources. This paper examines the strategies and mechanisms employed by public administrators in Nigeria to enhance good governance and political security, analyses the impact of effective public administration on political stability and http://e-journal.uum.edu.my/index.php/mmj

The state amidst its burgeoning population and economic activities, grapples with the generation of substantial waste, emphasizing the urgency for robust waste management strategies and the absence of comprehensive and wellexecuted waste management initiatives in the state poses a serious threat to the ecosystem, public health, and overall environmental sustainability. Therefore the study assessed strategies for the implementation of environmental protection regulations towards sustainable waste management in Oyo State, Nigeria. The study unit was drawn from the Oyo State Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources, Oyo State Waste Management Authority, Mottainai Recycling Limited Ibadan, and the Oyo State Local Government Environmentalist. The population for this study was 369, while the sample size was 191 derived using Krejcie and Morgan (1970) sample size determination formula. An in-depth interview was conducted to complement respondents' opinions. Findings from the study showed that Oyo State has approved the establishment of dumpsites, awareness campaigns and educational programs focused on environmental conservation in the state. The study also revealed that there is implementation of penalties and fines for improper waste disposal. The study recommends that the Oyo State Government should establish a recycling plant to facilitate the conversion of waste into valuable resources and enhance robust public awareness and education campaigns, including the strengthening and enforcement of waste management regulations with stiff penalties for violations, to deter illegal dumping and improper waste disposal.

State governments and organized labour disagree on how to implement the national minimum wage. The research work explored the main thrusts of labour relations and the history of minimum wage implementation in the Osun state of Nigeria.

However, the implementation of the federal character policies, especially at the federal level of governance has been criticized for favoring the Northern part of Nigeria against the other parts of the country. The objective of this paper was to examine the implications of the federal character principle for socio-economy equity and political stability in Nigeria. Findings from the study, which relied on secondary sources as its method of inquiry, were that the federal character principle was designed to create fairness, justice, and equity among different geo-political zones in Nigeria and reduce the fear of sectional domination. The policy has enthroned some measure of fairness, justice, and equity in public policies in Nigeria, including those related to employment opportunities, promotion in public service, geographical representation, and quota admission policies in federal educational higher institutions. However, the federal character policy is still bedeviled by nepotism and sectional interest in Nigeria.

This paper examined the income generation capacity of the local government and its implications for community development. The study used both primary and secondary data research methodology, which were interpreted and analysed. Findings from the study were that Asa local government generates insufficient revenues from both internal and external sources due to weak federal allocation and irregular remittance of its statutory financial allocation from the state joint account. The capacity of the local government to generate sufficient internal revenue is also challenged by poor tax collection capacity and enforcement policy and embezzlement of a large chunks of internally generated revenue by local government officials. The low revenue generation has reduced the construction of f...

Government and non-governmental programmes on development should be implemented and executed and there should be periodic monitoring of local government projects.
