Item HDS 509: Nigeria: a study in military leadership, 1966-1979(2023) Abolorunde, A. S.Item Environmental and legal instruments of import control in colonial Nigeria, 1904-1954(2020) Abolorunde, A. S.The colonisation of Nigeria by the British led to the merging of diverse ethnicities which occupied the area that later became Nigeria as the Europeans imposed administrative structures which included native court, native authorities, native treasuries and protectorates. Historians, political scientists, sociologists, economists and scholars of related disciplines have through their works, interrogated Nigeria’s colonial past. The Indirect Rule system, infrastructure, nationalism, currency circulation, systems of banking and education, and exploitation of resources are typical examples of Nigeria’s colonial experience. Similarly, scholars have made attempts at interrogating various aspects of the country’s colonial history. These include agricultural policies, export control policies, marketing boards, trade restrictions, politics of decolonisation, the politics of transfer of power, constitutional development, regionalism, nationalist movements, import control during and after World War II and the tariff system. These intellectual efforts have not beamed their searchlight on how the formulation of legal instruments which governed import control was aided by the nature of environment of certain regions in Nigeria. Against this backdrop, this paper interrogates the impact of the environment on Nigeria’s import control history in the colonial era. The paper concludes that the nature of Nigeria’s environment determined the efficacy of laws which governed import control administration in Nigeria.Item Understanding Nigeria's security through import control under the military, 1972-1999(Nigerian Army Resource Centre, Asokoro, Abuja, Nigeria., 2020) Abolorunde, A. S.The military as an institution has played important roles in the history of Nigeria since 1966 when it intervened in the country's politics. Scholars of various disciplines such as political Science, history, philosophy, sociology and economics through their works, have examined the role of the military in governance, as well as, the management of the country's economy. Foreign policy formulation, the Civil War, creation of more States which served as transition from regionalism are typical examples of the inputs of the military to the country's nation building project. Similarly, scholars have interrogated the roles of the military in the country's history through population census, management of foreign reserves, and introduction of new currencies as well as the country's infrastructural expansion. However, comprehensive intellectual attention has not been paid to the role the military, as an institution, has played in Nigeria' s import control. It is against this backdrop that this paper interrogates the nature of Nigeria's import control under the military. The paper argues in its conclusion that import control under the military reveals the extent to which the military managed the country's economy.Item Nigeria's import control under regionalism: the colonial Northern Nigerian experience, 1954-1960(2021) Abolorunde, A. S.The colonization of Nigeria by the British opened a new vista in the history of the country. Colonial administrative structures in northern Nigeria included, native courts, native authorities, native treasury and a protectorate. Historians, political scientists, sociologists, economists and scholars of various disciplines have interrogated northern Nigerian history. Indirect rule System, colonial infrastructure, the rise of nationalism and colonial System of education are typical examples of northern Nigeria’s colonial experience. Similarly, scholars have made attempts at interrogating various aspects of the region’s colonial history. These include, colonial agricultural policies, colonial export control policies, marketing boards, trade restrictions, politics of decolonization, politics of transfer of power, constitutional developments, regionalism, nationalist movements, colonial tariff System and issues that deal with northern Nigeria. These intellectual efforts have not beamed their searchlight on how import control under regionalism was used as one of the strategies of decolonization process in northern Nigeria. It is against this backdrop that this paper interrogates import control as an economic policy which aided the entrenchment of regionalism in northern Nigeria. Import control under regionalism therefore became one of the strategies used by the colonial government in the devolution of some of its economic powers to the northern Nigerian region.Item The British strategy of dealing with national sabotage and the allies’ economic interests through wartime import control in Nigeria, 1939-1945(2021-12) Abolorunde, A. S.The outbreak of the Second World War in 1939 had far-reaching impact on the history of the world, including the deployment of new strategies of war, the stresses and strains of the global economy and a global call for decolonisation. Through their works, historians, political scientists, sociologists, and economists have examined the developments that unfolded during the war. The mobilisation of the Allied powers’ resources against the Axis powers, the bombardments of the enemy’s territories within and outside Europe, the initial success of the Axis in the early stages of the war are typical examples of the developments that manifested during the Second World War. Similarly, scholars such as Kehinde Faluyi and Ayodeji Olukoju have interrogated the effects of the war on Africa, the various policies of the European powers in their respective colonies during the war, the mobilisation of human and material resources of these African colonies for war efforts, the impact of the war on the economy of the African continent as a whole, the nature of food supply from Nigeria as a colony for metropolitan war efforts and the intensification of economic blockade against the Axis’ economic presence in Africa in general and Nigeria in particular. These intellectual efforts seem to have neglected how the British used import control in Nigeria as a wartime tool for dealing with metropolitan sabotage adopted against the British war effort and the intensification of economic blockade against the British wartime allies in Nigeria. The paper argues that the British deployed import control to curb the national sabotage of the manufacturers in Britain and restrict the economic presence of their allies during the war.Item Gains and discontents of import control in colonial Nigeria, 1939-1960(Nigerian Defence Academy Publishers, 2020) Abolorunde, A.
