| Summary, etc. |
This article examines the implications of globalization in the teaching public administration in Nigeria. It explores the teaching of public administration in Nigeria before and after 1986. The study argues that the teaching of public administration in Nigeria followed the British educational pattern before 1986, but changed to the United States model between 1987 and 2002. It also argues that for public administration training to be meaningful in Nigeria, it should be designed and implemented with relevance to the sustainable development mission of the nation. The article examines the poor fit between the British and American models and the political environment in Nigeria. This wrong fit between the western models of teaching public administration and the appropriate model for Nigeria has been a major concern to those advocating sustainable development in the nation. Some suggestions are given on how to improve the teaching of public administration in Nigeria in the future. - Reproduced. |
