As a Legislative Governance expert and practitioner, I am honoured to make this scholarly contributions to the existing body of knowledge and literature in Legislative studies and comparative legislature.
The task of building a virile democracy in Nigeria and Africa requires sound education of the populace on legislative governance, practices and procedure, which is underscored by the philosophical underpining of the design of our democracy.
This contribution delivers the Nigeria experience of the implications of legislative turnover to performance of the legislature as an institution and individual representatives of the people.
You would learn the strides and slides in mainstream literature and local realities, the dynamics of power play, institutional structure and other multivariate variables interplay that fuels high legislative turnover in Nigeria. The balance of power between the demoratic rights of voters in an electoral constitutional democracy to hire and fire representatives and the notion of legislative experience as a factor of legislative institutional stability and performance or otherwise.
Kindly get your copies and enjoy a cruise in this intellectual ocean.
Again, congratulations to an excellent leader and transformational leader – POA, Vice Chancellor, #FULOKOJA
