Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract This article critically examines the lethal and growing threat posed by the Nigeria-based Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram or People Committed to the Propagation of the Prophet's Teachings and Jihad. Specifically, the article explores the group's emergence and grievances, as well as its increasing links to the global jihad as spearheaded by al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and its affiliates like the Somalia-based al-Shabaab. The article then evaluates how the Nigerian state and countries fighting terror abroad, like the USA, have responded to the Boko Haram threat. The conclusion offers some policy prescriptions on how best to respond to Boko Haram.

Corruption and economic crime in Nigeria: social and economic perspectives / Agbiboa, Daniel Egiegba   Journal Article
Agbiboa, Daniel Egiegba Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract The focus of this paper is on the social and economic aspects of corruption in Nigeria. Given the increasingly borderless nature of corruption and economic crime, this paper argues that a successful control campaign requires a coordinated response that will fuse domestic and international strategies. While the paper is wholly committed to the strategy of depriving criminals of their ill-gotten wealth, it acknowledges that the success that law enforcement agencies have had around the world in 'taking the profit out of crime' has been hitherto unimpressive. Drawing on the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), particularly Article 20, the paper argues that governments in developing economies should adopt the radical strategy of taxing unaccountable wealth and criminalising illicit enrichment.

Offsetting the development costs? brain drain and the role of t / Agbiboa, Daniel Egiegba   Journal Article
Agbiboa, Daniel Egiegba Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract Over recent decades global labour markets have emerged and skill shortages in particular sectors have generated an international competition for the best and brightest. The developed world is seen to 'poach' this talent from poorer countries, with the resultant 'brain drain' undermining their capacity to develop. This paper calls into question the assumption that the emigration of the highly skilled will automatically represent a loss to the country of origin. The paper positions itself between the two extremes of brain drain as constituting a pure loss or a pure gain for sending countries and calls for a more moderate approach to skilled migration and its impact on development. The paper goes beyond the simple brain drain/brain gain dichotomy by looking at the flow of the skilled within specific geographic spaces and the resultant policy dilemmas and options.
