Eminent scholars from the Nigerian Political Science Association (NPSA) have urged the government to prioritize service delivery in order to enhance democratic governance and improve social, economic, and political relations. The scholars highlighted poor road network, bad roads, inadequate sanitation, waste management, and unreliable power supply as examples of the current poor service delivery in the country.
Eminent scholars have implored those in government to make use of service delivery to deepen and consolidate democratic governance for improved social, economic and political relations in
They gave the advice in a communique issued after the Third Annual Conference of The Nigerian Political Science Association, South West Zone Held At The Lead City University, IBADAN, between March 26 and 29, 2024. It noted that service delivery is not on the top priority list of the governing class. “The governing class does not seem to appreciate that it is in their self-interest to pay attention to robust and efficient service delivery, the lack of which was a trigger for military intervention in politics in the past and the resurgence of unconstitutional change of government in some West African states”, they further noted.
‘The dominance or the predominance of the concept of politics that emphasizes the pursuit of public interest in the mind set of powerful state and non State actors results in political decisions and policies with very complementary and pleasant effects on the public and ordinary people. In the mind set of these actors, public office or authority is not power but service, which in the context of this conference is service delivery.
