The major objective of this project is to examine the causes of electoral insecurity in Kogi State, role and responsibilities of security agency on democratic consolidation in Kogi State. The study adopted a descriptive method, both primary and secondary methods. The major instrument used to gather data from primary sources is the questionnaire. From a population of 4,500,000, a sample size of 400 respondents was selected using the Taro Yamane technique. Findings revealed that security is essential for credible elections in Nigeria, and security agencies have many roles to play in ensuring free and fair elections. The protection of human life, voters, electoral materials and officials and the preservation of lawful and orderly electoral processes are necessary for credible, free and fair elections. Therefore, without adequate security, there cannot be credible, free and fair elections. In view of the findings, it was recommended that security personnel should be well fed and given more autonomy to perform their constitutional duties without being induced by candidates, political parties, and the government. Security men should also be moral in discharging their duties. Electoral regulations should be strictly enforced and perpetrators of violence should be promptly arrested and prosecuted. Lastly the security personnel should strictly carry out the duties of forestalling violence and mostly to prevent any act or actions that negate the electoral regulations that often lead to violent outbreaks during elections. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Public Administration project topics and materials you might be interested in»Impact of industrial conflict on the performance of workers in the government parastatal (a case study of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)»Human resources as a catalyst for economic growth and development in Nigeria (a case study of Abuja municipal area council) »The influence of effective personnel management practice in organization performance»Local government financial autonomy and grass root development in Nigeria (a case study of Afikpo north local government area)»Effects of delayed payment of lecturers salaries and wages on students performance»Manpower training and development as a tool for effective performance in public sector in Nigeria»The impact of poor revenue generation on the development of Local Government Areas»Fuel subsidy removal and the Nigerian economy (a case study of Abakiliki local government area, Ebonyi state) »Enhancing political stability in Nigeria through good governance ( a case study of Abia state)»Niger-Delta crisis and its impact on socio-economic development in Nigeria»Accountability and corruption in local government in Nigeria (Case study of Bonny local government area of Rivers state)»Political instability a major hindrance to effective policy implementation and good governance (a case study of Nigeria 1983 -1999)»Bureaucracy and efficiency (a case study of Enugu state civil service)»The assessment of the roles of local government towards rural development - a case study of Katcha local government area of Niger state»Impact of collective bargaining techniques on industrial relations practice (a case study of two selected firms from NUPENG and NUBIFE)
