Hardback. Condition: New. Banditry in Nigeria has been intensifying for almost a decade, however there is no study that focuses specifically on the financial impact or political economy of banditry. Filling this gap, authors Sambo and Sule explore this unique and new aspect and dimension of the banditry in Nigeria, comparing cases in Africa and Asia with the Nigerian experience to provide a view of the political economy implications of banditry at regional and global levels.The Political Economy of Banditry in Nigeria explores the escalation of new areas of political economy triggered by banditry in Nigeria, where new strategies of bandits have turned crime into a multi-billion Naira business. The chapters investigate acts such as kidnapping for ransom, abduction of school children for ransom, illegal mining, capture and confiscation of farmlands by the bandits, collection of taxes and levies by the bandits from the local populace, as well as the cost of response by policy makers. Delving into an emerging security crisis relating to the political economy of banditry, the chapters explore the impacts causing food insecurity, shortage of livestock, and a huge outflow of government funds. Chronicling these events beyond Nigeria's borders, the analysis shows the financial costs or economic loss incurred by the Nigerian state and looks at what can be done.Concluding with practical policy implications and potential solutions for combatting economic crisis and poverty, the authors pose strategies relating to institutional strengthening, social inclusion and political will. This is important reading for scholars interested in securing lasting peace and prosperity in Nigeria and the wider international community beyond its borders.…

Hardback. Condition: New. Babayo Sule and Usman Sambo analyse the recent Nigerian election reforms and their impact on the outcome of elections.This book provides a comprehensive analysis of electoral administration in the Fourth Republic of Nigeria (1999-present day) and its regulatory, institutional, and procedural reforms. These reforms will not only be examined in their basic framework, but will also be observed for their credibility, integrity and transparency. This book focuses on how these reforms were developed and how they work. Sule and Sambo argue for fundamental changes in the administration of elections in Nigeria, including the introduction of electronic processes such as the Smart Card Readers in 2015 and Bimodal Verification Accreditation Systems in the 2023 General Elections that have positively impacted the electoral process and integrity, without forgetting the antecedents of the numerous challenges faced during the period. They examine not only technological changes but also constitutional reforms, procedural reforms, and institutional reforms. Introducing a new dimension to the study of elections, the authors provide a clear picture of the roles of all the actors involved, the challenges they faced, the factors that enhanced integrity and credibility and the daunting challenges that continue to affect the success of the elections. Thus, this book presents practical measures and policy implications for an improved process in future elections in Nigeria. …
