This paper attempts to show that for now, English has been and is still the only wise and practicable choice that can serve such a purpose since the various policies that have been put on ground that would have given birth to one of the indigenous languages becoming a national language has failed. English is therefore playing the role of a national language in Nigeria today.Item Open Access Creating an Enabling Environment for Workplace Interventions: From Policy to Action(Department of Psychology, Nasarawa State University Keffi., 2006-09-06) Emmanuel, Alhassan; Mohammed, M.; Meribole, E.; Mafeni, J.; Otive-Igbuzor, E.; Ibe, O.Issues: In spite of all the documented impacts of HIV at the workplace, only a small percentage of workplaces in Nigeria (the most populous country in Africa) have policies and programmes on HIV/AIDS. Issues of pre-employment testing, discrimination, confidentiality, care and support, etc are therefore mostly at the whims and caprices of employers. A bold step towards addressing this issue was the development of the National Workplace Policy on HIV/AIDS. Description: Based on an assessment identifying the need for a framework to protect HIV infected and affected workers in the workplace, a diverse range of stakeholders (Government Agencies, Labour, Employers, the Private Sector, PLWAs and NGOs) was brought together to develop the National Workplace Policy on HIV/AIDS for Nigeria through a highly participatory process. This policy was approved by the highest level of Government in Nigeria and a National Technical Working Group set up to work towards ensuring implementation of the policy at all levels. Lessons learned: Policy needs to contain clauses that deal very clearly with issues of non-compliance. To make it more actionable, there is need for policy to have legal backing especially in Nigeria where over 70% of workers are engaged in the Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises sector which often do not have legal entities, systems or policies to protect employees. Involvement of all relevant stakeholders enhanced the widespread acceptance of the policy. Recommendations: The policy should be stepped all the way down to enterprise level through advocacy and capacity building. Enterprises should be assisted to adapt the policy to their peculiar situations. A review should be undertaken to fill in gaps identified - particularly in making the objectives more SMART. In moving policy the process of getting legal backing should be embarked upon. An M & E system should be put in place to track implementation.Item Open Access A CRITIQUE OF THE MOTHER TONGUE EDUCATION POLICY IN NIGERIA(Department of English, Nasarawa State University Keffi, 2006-09-12) David, Stephen O.The case of the mother tongue policy ofeducation has been a 'thorn in theflesh 'due to its non-implementation proper in Nigeria. There is the beliefthat ifan issue does not affect the policy makers, then it is not a serious matter because most of the policy makers and policy executors do not often have the interest of the countryt at heart. This paper looks at what mother tongue education policy is, does a critique of it and offers some recommendations on the possible way forward.Item Open Access NASARAWA EMIRATE IN THE FOURTH REPUBLIC AND THE CHALLENGES OF DEMOCRACY WITH DEVELOPMENT(Department of Sociology, Nasarawa State University Keffi, 2007-03-31) Suleiman, Bala MohammedItem Open Access THE NIGERIAN POLYTECHNICS AND NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT: AN OVERVIEW(Department of Sociology, Nasarawa State University Keffi, 2008-05-14) Suleiman, Bala MohammedItem Open Access THE ROLE OF JUNIOR OFFICERS IN EFFECTIVE SERVICE DELIVERY IN NASARAWA STATE(Department of Sociology, Nasarawa State University Keffi, 2008-06-19) Suleiman, Bala MohammedItem Open Access THE VALIDITY OF DECISIONS OF INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS(Department of Public and International Law, Nasarawa State University Keffi, 2009-03-03) Musa, HabibaItem Open Access CRAFTING POLICIES(Department of Sociology, Nasarawa State University Keffi, 2009-10-20) Suleiman, Bala MohammedItem Open Access THE ROLE AND INTERPLAY OF EDUCATION ON CAMPUS CULTISM(Department of Sociology, Nasarawa State University Keffi, 2009-12-03) Nuhu, O.
