ABSTRACT
This study engaged in a comparative analysis of legislative process and democratic governance in Nigeria and United States.
The difference in legislative process between Nigeria and United States
which accounts for varying democratic governance in both countries
necessitated this study. In order to achieve this onerous task, the
research work was guided by the following research questions: does the
process of legislation in Nigeria and United States explain the
feasibility of democratic governance in these two countries? What
are the factors that militates legislative institutions from promoting
democratic governance in Nigeria and United States? Methodologically,
the research adopted the Structural-Functional Analysis as the theory that best suits the study as well as the Ex-Post Facto research design. The research relied on the secondary sources of data and descriptive method of data analysis. The study revealed that the existence of legislature does not necessarily promote democratic governance. The United States Congress
has an efficient committee system that reinforces public confidence and
trust in the United States legislative process through robust check on
the executive excesses and abuses, which is the hallmark of their
democratic governance. This is not fully obtainable in Nigeria’s
National Assembly and its democratic practice. The
factors in the National Assembly which militates democratic governance
in Nigeria include; institutional failures emanating from
self-aggrandizement, certificate forgery, inflation of contract sum,
bribery and abuse of procedure. Hence, the study recommended the
following; national reorientation and civility of attitude among the
political class, making popular plight and expectation priority in
legislative agenda and functional and robust oversight functioning by
the various legislative committee in curtailing executive excesses and abuses.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the study
Democracy and governance are the bedrock of sustainable development of
any country. Hence, the two terms are inexplicable but related with
conceptual polemics. However, scholars in spite of their diverse
intellectual and ideological inclinations share the same views on its
reflective attributes. On the history and concept of democracy,
Madubuegwu, (2015) noted. Democracy is a concept or historical
antiquity. A popular and participatory system of mass driven government
that enveloped and flourished in the vortex of Athenian imperelian and
pericles (500-429 BC).This classical democratic form of governance was
exemplified in Athenian Ecclesia and Spartan Appella which underscored
the relevance of political liberty and equality (2015:53).
Invariably, democracy is therefore seen as one of the ultimate ideas
that modern civilization strive to create or preserve. The word,
“democracy” literally means “rule by the people” taken from Greek terms,
demo (people) and Kratos (rule). It is a political concept and form of
government where a people are supposed to have equal voices in shaping
policy (typically expressed through a vote for representatives) (Awah
2013:8). The criticality of democratic process is accentuated by the
practice of governance. Hence, governance is a process driven by
institutions. This process is obviously driven by certain fundamental
which reflects in the roles and characters of the political institutions
or structures.These fundamentals otherwise known as
the indices of good governance were implicitly enumerated by Okeke (2010).
