The most widely read newspaper in Nigeria

death just occurred of Professor Alex Gboyega, a retired professor of political science at the University of Ibadan. His is the latest in the series of deaths of prominent Nigerians that have overshadowed the month of January 2022. In our relational and crisscrossing networks of significances, the shocking news of deaths hits us at different levels the same way we relate at different levels with those around us. I am connected with the late professor at many levels, personal and intellectual.

Much more fundamental to Prof. Gboyega’s legacy is the idea of local government and governance that he started running with right from the commencement of his scholarship. His specialisation straddled local governance, public administration and indigenous political institutions. These thematic concerns tell a coherent and significant story about Prof. Gboyega’s research portfolio that speaks to the core of Nigeria’s postcolonial and democratic malaise.

It has become axiomatic that local governance is fundamental to the consolidation and sustenance of democracy everywhere. Local governance facilitates the grass-roots participation of the people who are the most fundamental factor in governance. Indeed, the local governments constitute the framework for testing the transparency and responsiveness of government institutions. This is where the concepts of subsidiarity and social capital become fundamental in understanding local governance.
