“…According to Onyeonoru, because of the high rate of unemployment, migration in search of Features 277 jobs has become an issue tied to human existence. 68 The process of trafficking and recruitment, either from the demanding households or the source communities, is a reflection of institutional anomie. It is also laden with human rights violations.…”

This article examines the recruitment and transportation of internally trafficked children from Benue State in the north-central geo-political zone of Nigeria to Oyo State in the south-western zone of Nigeria. The study is essentially qualitative: with the aid of the snowball sampling technique, in-depth interviews (IDIs) were conducted with drivers, employers and trafficking agents in two recipient communities in Ibadan. The findings show that human rights abuses manifest at the recruitment, transportation and destination phases. The human rights abuses include the recruitment of underage children for domestic work outside their immediate family environments; transportation under inhumane conditions; restriction of movement at traffickers' 'warehouses'; non-disclosure of amount payable for the services of domestic servants by agents/traffickers; exclusion of domestic servants in wage negotiations; and violence by employers. In view of these, there is a need for the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons to strengthen its internal trafficking campaign.

“…Most of the those being trafficked from Nigeria to Europe and America under the guise of seeking greener pastures will be used for commercial sex purposes. This trend added to the number of HIV/AIDS cases in Nigeria, given the sexually related contact of the returnees with the home-based Nigerians (Onyeonoru, 2004). As such, resources that could have been used for the country's development are being diverted to caring for those stigmatized by the majority society, and beyond this is the irreparable and incalculable loss of human lives.…”

Even though globalization has made countries across the world more connected than ever, there are still controversies over its benefits regarding socio-economic development and good governance in developing countries. Against this backdrop, the study investigates the link between globalization and governance in Nigeria. This is with a view to determining the implications of globalization on the governance of Nigeria. The study, which relies heavily on secondary data, shows that the country’s political authority has been depleted in order to conform to global trends. Globalization has affected the quality of bureaucratic governance, puts pressure on governance on whether to open up or restrict the economy, and exacerbated the unequal distribution of incomes because of the relative differences in the mobility of labor and capital. The study further revealed that globalization triggered the unregulated use of the internet and exposed people to illicit activities. It also contributed to the transmission of diseases, including HIV/AIDS, the Ebola virus and COVID-19. Globalization also encouraged multinationals to access Nigeria, thereby adding to environmental pollution, climate change, food insecurity, and health-related challenges, especially, as a result of oil exploration. These activities have continued to disrupt the people’s means of livelihood, and consequently provoked political and social agitation and engendered secessionist groups, threatening the unity and existence of the country. The study, therefore, concludes that globalization has caused more damage than good to Nigeria’s political and socio-economic activities.

“…For instance, there is often a significant gap in pay and benefits between permanent and outsourced staff (Fapohunda, 2012)). Job security is another aspect in which outsourced staff are constantly at a disadvantage compared to their permanent counterparts (Onyeonoru & Hlatshwayo, 2020). Pearce (1993) in his research on the aerospace sector, discovered that contract engineers and contract engineering technicians experienced less job stability.…”

“…Nigerian financial institutions' utilization of outsourced workers has increased dramatically (Fabian et al, 2023;Onyeonoru & Hlatshwayo, 2020). These institutions, especially banks, now hire workers through external provider firms to respond to the stiff competition and dynamic economic and technological changes, as well as meet unpredictable work demands (Onuoha, 2022).…”

“…Outsourced employees who are always on temporary or project-based employment arrangements often operate in different work arrangements and contracts that may impact their perceptions of task identity. These differences are not determined by the employees' qualifications or abilities but by their employment statuses as either outsourced or core employees instigated by some management control (Onyeonoru & Hlatshwayo, 2020) and business practices beyond their powers (Reich et al, 1973).…”

The work environment in Nigerian financial institutions reflects the polarization and segregation of employees into different employment statuses. However, the implications of this on employee task identity are rarely discussed. This study, therefore, examined the difference in the task identity between the outsourced and core employees in Nigerian financial institutions. A cross-sectional survey research design was employed. A total of 359 employees were selected from six commercial banks in Southeast Nigeria using a multistage sampling method. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire. Pearson’s chi-square test was used to analyze data at the bi-variate level, while logistic regression analysis was used at the multi-variate level, all at p<0.05. Outsourced employees experienced a lower level of task identity than core employees. Employment status (OR =5.501, 95% CI 3.051-9.919) and education (OR=2.896, 95% CI 1.329-6.313) were significantly associated with task identity. Banks should design enriched jobs that will enable the completion of entire job functions for all employees without discrimination or favor to any groups or persons, as this will help employees to identify with their tasks when completed and feel pride and important, as well as enhance employee motivation, satisfaction, and commitment.
