Presenting how the Nigerian state has not been able to showcase the expected dividends of presidential democracy since 1999, it analyzes the crisis of governance and its impact on political stability, social cohesion, and the livelihood of citizens. The book further discusses the depreciating infrastructure, corruption, and mismanagement of public resources, and shows how defiant attitudes of public political and bureaucratic officials define the new wave of corruption and profligacy in Nigeria, presenting this development as a result of a weakened legislature. The book displays the necessity of implementing a culture of accountability and discusses oversight mechanisms to make the executive accountable. These mechanisms are designed to ensure effective public service delivery. Finally, the book situates the legislative institutions in Nigeria within the context of the contributions of the National Assembly and the Assemblies of the State Houses to the development of this emerging democracy in Africa. The book will appeal to students and scholars of political science and public administration, as well as policy-makers and practitioners interested in a better understanding of democracy, separation of powers, governance, and Nigerian politics. 001461633 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on April 28, 2023). 001461633 650_0 $$aLegislative bodies$$zNigeria. 001461633 650_0 $$aLegislative power$$zNigeria. 001461633 651_0 $$aNigeria$$xPolitics and government$$y21st century. 001461633 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001461633 7001_ $$aFagbadebo, Omololu,$$eeditor. 001461633 7001_ $$aAlabi, Mojeed Olujinmi A.,$$editor. 001461633 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aFagbadebo, Omololu$$tThe Legislature in Nigeria's Presidential Democracy of the Fourth Republic$$dCham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2023$$z9783031246944 001461633 830_0 $$aAdvances in African economic, social and political development.$$x2198-7270 001461633 852__ $$bebk 001461633 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-24695-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001461633 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1461633$$pGLOBAL_SET 001461633 980__ $$aBIB 001461633 980__ $$aEBOOK 001461633 982__ $$aEbook 001461633 983__ $$aOnline 001461633 994__ $$a92$$bISE
