“…Also, power is trapped in the person and office of the President, thus, making the occupant of the office just too powerful. (Adeyemi, 2021). As a result, near absolute power is handed to the President and the Governors which enable them to relegate political parties to the background.…”

Since the military intruded into the political governance of Nigeria in 1966, it has being a gradual accretion of powers of the regions/states to the federal government. This is through Decrees and other military policies that have centralisation of powers as its primary ideology. Since then, it has been a tale of woes, a situation of no love lost relationship among the ethnic nationalities. The consequences of concentration of powers in the centre are being harvested in the form of separation agitations, distrust, violence and other centrifugal forces. This paper examined the culture of power dominance by the central government in a supposed federal polity and its effects on the unity of the country. Using primary and secondary sources of information, the study found that for Nigeria to achieve her full potentials, the structural edifice on which her governance is fastened requires a reconfiguration. The paper finally advocated for a return to parliamentary democracy which is more cost effective than the profligate presidential system.

“…Resulting from these, research efforts have been focused on identifying the various factors that contribute to the burgeoning cases of collapsed buildings in this country through physical observations and or sample collection of debris from building collapse sites and oral interviews of eye witnesses or residents within the vicinities. Among the factors identified by the existing studies include the lack of soil test investigation, poor design, dysfunctional construction, lack of adherence to established building standards, lack of enforcement of building codes/regulations/bye-laws, use of substandard construction materials, engagement of non-professionals and poorly trained workmen, poor supervision, excessive loading of buildings, poor maintenance practices, heavy downpour, greed and corrupt practices and others [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ]. Specifically, Oyewande noted that around 50% of the factors leading to building collapse in Nigeria can be linked to faulty design, 40% to fault on construction sites and 10% to product failure [ 34 ].…”

The current spate of building collapse in Nigeria has continued to attract research efforts to unravel the causes and possible remedies. Although cases of building collapse in Nigeria has been associated with several factors, those factors associated with building plan approval process have not adequately investigated, especially in a rapidly expanding colonial city of Enugu. The study investigated the role of local town planning authorities in the increasing cases of collapsed buildings in Nigeria using Enugu as a case study. A well-structured questionnaire was administered to the three Chief Town Planners in the three planning approval offices and oral interviews randomly selected 30 developers in ongoing construction projects within Enugu metropolis were conducted. Using content analysis and descriptive statistics the data collected were analyzed. It was observed that due to poor staffing and lack of engagement of building professionals, the planning approval authorities were not effective in scrutinizing, vetting and evaluating building drawings submitted for approval as well as in supervising and monitoring the level of compliance of buildings under construction with the operational building codes and bye-laws in the study area. The study concludes that these lapses in the roles of local building approval authorities can contribute to the increasing cases of collapsed buildings in Enugu Metropolis. It recommends that government should take proactive steps by engaging the right number of building professionals in her planning approval offices and ensuring strict enforcement of the existing physical development legislation and punishment of offenders.
