Editorial Comment

We are happy to launch the second edition of the Review of Public
Administration and Management. It is interesting to note that the
Journal has improved significantly, with a website, electronic mail
address and International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) in place. The
Journal undoubtedly is intended to be a beacon of light to scholars of
administration, management, humanities and social sciences. Through
extensive research and intensive empirical field studies, the Journal will
show Nigeria and other developing states how to survive or how to
escape from the scourge of problems buffeting them.

Today, myriads of unpredictability face administration, politics,
humanities, social sciences and management. The western nations have
articulated their responses to the challenges and even simulated and
programmed the likely outcome. But for us in the third World especially
Nigeria, it seemed that the challenges took us by surprise. It is in
keeping with the challenges that the Department of Public
Administration, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka blazed the trail by
producing the second edition of the Journal.

There is no gainsaying that an examination of the current security
challenges in the Country, one may be wont to remark that Nigeria is
‘sitting on a keg of gunpowder’.
Politically Nigeria’s nascent democracy has not fared well; the terrain
has been shrouded with unprecedented unpredictability. I feel
accomplished that these challenges, especially the security challenges
and restiveness have been reasonably addressed in the second edition of
Review of Public Administration and Management. This is reflected
by the quality of manuscripts received from seasoned academics across
reputable Nigerian Universities, which we considered necessary to be
published in this edition.

With deep sense of pleasure and accomplishment, I am pretty certain
that you will be very much enriched as you read through this volume.
