Innovation, Social Policy and Improvement of the Quality Of Life of Citizens in Nigeria
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
Using the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP) as the development plan framework encapsulating the technology domain of Nigeria and the National Social Protection Policy (NSPP) as the policy ecosystem and tool, we examined the technology – policy interface as mediated by innovation in Nigeria. The paper utilized recent field data and national vast troves of data for its analysis and policy recommendations. The recent rethinking on the role of technology as policy performance enhancer posits the possibility and desirability of applying flexible technological innovativeness to cater to all efforts and diversity, including policy ecosystem. The argument is that policy infrastructure and ecosystem itself must benefit from the application of innovative technologies to its activities to unleash its full capacity on delivery of services for the attainment of quality of life for the citizens. Although there are currently many social technologies in Nigeria, it could, however not be established how technological innovativeness shapes or influences the policy ecosystem. There are no empirical studies and data in Nigeria to permit such analysis. This sets the exciting recommendation of urgently launching the broad national innovation studies initiative.
