The Dynamics of Policy Implementation in Nigeria
In The Dynamics of Policy Implementation in Nigeria, author Mohammad Ahmad Wali examines the implementation of public policy in Nigeria with an emphasis on Sokoto State from 1976 to 1991, from the perspective of an insider. Thoroughly documented and researched, The Dynamics of Policy Implementation in Nigeria first dissects the explanations provided for both the success and failure of the government's efforts at moving policy forward. Wali specifically investigates the Operation Move Ahead education policy that has failed to achieve its objectives. A comprehensive presentation of the region's history, religion, politics, and socioeconomic structure provides the background from which to analyze the issues. With charts and diagrams, Wali discusses the four main obstacles to implementation in the Sokoto State bureaucracy: governmental instability, governmental overload, socioeconomic problems, and the infrastructural inadequacies confronting policy implementers. The crucial role of implementation analysis is to identify the factors which affect the achievement of policy objectives.

Building on the tenth-century geographer al-Maqdisi's writings on urban centers of the Islamic world, bu...

But Glass never forgot the reason he was in Lebanon or abandoned the idea of a book capturing the splendid vitality and diversity of life in the Middle East. Tribes with Flags is the book Glass always meant it to be: A chronicle of his journey from the southern Turkish coast, aro...

Kesumat
Beberapa tahun berlalu sejak hukuman gantung sampai mati ke atas Karim dilaksanakan. Lelaki misteri yang pernah mendatangi pendiri ajaran sesat Kumpulan Panji Hitam itu kini muncul pula kepada Soraya, satu-satunya waris Karim yang masih hidup. Soraya berdepan ujian sihir yang amat hebat oleh sekumpulan bekas orang kanan Karim. Lalu ia dihidupkan semula! Kali ini lebih hebat dan bernafsu besar! Sejak itu, kegelapan mengganas lagi. Ia mara bagaikan api menjilat hutan kering. Dendam, tipu daya, darah dan rawan seolah-olah tidak mampu dibendung. Umpan-umpan ditabur dan pembunuhan demi pembunuhan dilaksanakan. Negara menjadi huru-hara. Mampukah Azlan bertahan dengan ujian yang lebih runcing itu? Dapatkah Azlan dan ulamak-ulamak yang masih tinggal di tanah bertuah ini menghalang kemaraan kegelapan itu? Dapatkah mereka menyelamatkan negara ini dari dikuasai oleh hamba-hamba manusia syaitan itu? Mungkinkah kali ini kebenaran akan ditewaskan oleh kebatilan?
