The Balance of Working and Management in Nigerian Governance
A thriving governance system in Nigeria requires a balance between effective leadership and diligent labor, where strategic management empowers workers, ensuring sustainable progress and equitable national development.
In the Nigerian government, the balance between working and management is crucial for effective governance. Working refers to civil servants and agencies executing policies and delivering services, while management involves political leaders and government officials setting national strategies and overseeing operations.
However, challenges arise when management (government leadership) lacks effective coordination, leading to inefficiencies despite the hard work of public servants. For example, in areas like infrastructure and healthcare, even though there’s significant effort from workers, poor management often hinders long-term progress and resource allocation. To improve results, both working and management must align toward national development goals.
