The Impact of the Environment on Nigerian Public Administration

Abstract

The practice and discipline of public administration in Nigeria is bedeviled by problems which are internal and external.These problems impact negatively on public institutions and on the employees of government such that what is demanded from government by the Citizens becomes a far cry from objective commitment on the part of government and on the deplorable results that come from administrators’ performance. Through the approach of systems school of analysis, this paper seeks to find out why the negative synthesis of failure is persisting in the Nigeria administrative machinery especially from the angle of the impact of environmental factors on leadership, administration, and on the citizens themselves. The paper looks at how such indices as political, economic, socio-cultural, and other related factors becomes mutually reinforcing on the system. It goes on to suggest how a proper enthronement of democratic practices together with a just and an impartial administrative operation would bring about concordance in the polity.
