DUE PROCESS
COMPLIANCE BY THE FEDERAL AND STATE INSPECTORATES OF EDUCATION IN THE NORTH
CENTRAL ZONE OF NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
This study
sought to examine the due process compliance by the federal and state
inspectorate
of education in the North Central Zone of Nigeria. Five research questions
and five
null hypothesis (tested at p<05) guided the study. The design of the study
was a
descriptive
survey. The sample was made up of 306 respondents comprising 116
inspectors
of education and 190 school heads from the North Central Zone of Nigeria.
Questionnaire
titled due process compliance questionnaire (DPCQ) was the instruments
used in the
study to elicit opinions of the respondents on the due process compliance by
federal and
state inspectorate. The items of the questionnaire were validated by experts
from Faculty
of Education University of Nigeria, Nsukka. The internal consistency
reliability
of the (DPCQ) was established using Cronbach Alpha procedure and
reliability
coefficient estimate of 0.62, 0.54, 0.51, and 0.80 respectively was obtained.
The data
obtained were analyzed using mean scores, standard deviation and t-test
statistics.
Major findings, of the study include: the inspectors of education and school
heads agreed
that due process practices were complied with in the personnel
administration
of the federal and state inspectorate service in such areas like recruitment
of inspectors;
posting and transfer of inspectorate staff not being punitive; promotion
based on
year of experience; specialist posting to zones; planning; in-service training
and
supervision of the performance of the inspectors by stakeholders; and
recognition
visits; due
process practices were complied with in financial management activities such
as payment
of staff salaries and other allowances; involving subordinates in budget
preparation;
regular conduct of yearly auditing; effective monitoring of project fund;
management
of cash flow; proper recording of financial matters and preparation of
annual
account; the major problems facing the North Central Zone of the inspectorate
of
education in
due process compliance were accommodation constraints; lack of running
cost; poor
road network; inadequate inspectors in some specific subject areas;
monitoring
the distribution of stationeries and office equipment; poor communication of
information
and management skills; and inability to act on complaints; the inspectors
and school
heads differed significantly on due process practices complied with to
improve the
functions and code of conduct for inspectors such as organizing seminars;
workshops
and conferences; training skills; making inspection materials available;
giving allowances
and incentives to inspectors; both inspectors and school heads
however
agreed on reviewing the existing guidelines for school inspection in order to
improve the
functions and code of conduct of the inspectors; both inspectors and school
heads agreed
on the perceived strategies to improve due process practices for inspectors
such as
punctuality to duty; prudent management of fund; publishing annual state of
education;
accurate and reliable report; and confidentiality of information. Among the
educational
implications of the findings of the study was that the recruitment of
inspectors
could be based not just on showing of certificates alone, but this could be
combined
with recruitment examinations which would expose the applicants to realities
of their
jobs. It was thus recommended that the recruitment of inspectors should be
based
not just on
showing of certificates alone, but this should be combined with recruitment
examinations
which would expose the applicants to realities of their jobs.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Background
of the Study
The Federal
Government of Nigeria has adopted education as an instrument
“par
excellence” for effecting national development. The Federal Republic of
Nigeria in
the National Policy on Education (FRN, 2004) states that any successful
system of
education must be hinged on proper planning, efficient administration,
good
organization and adequate financing. This demand the due process
compliance
of the inspectorate of education. The Public Procurement Act (2007)
looked at
Due Process as a mechanism for ensuring strict compliance in other to
harmonize
and update the rules and procedures that should guide the
implementation
of educational policy and contract award with the federal
government
of Nigeria.
Nigerian
since the early 80s has been confronted with magnitude of
educational
problems. This problem in brief include low priority accorded to
inspection
Un-wanted interference in the school administration by the political
leaders,
multiplication of school with few inspectors, refusal to implement the laid
down plan
and poor financial management practices, Nigeria therefore has been
battling
with how to achieve its major educational objectives. These objectives

include
improving educational standard, quality assurance and reformation of the
federal and
state inspectorate of education. It has not been easy for Nigeria to
realize the
above objectives some of the factors responsible for this are poor
performance
because of the following reasons: Unwillingness of stake holders in
education to
enforce innovation due to political instability, misplacement of
priorities,
shortage of basic infrastructural amenities and utilities and problem of
qualified
personnel government use due process policy and implementation
mechanism to
address a number of issues. Including budget implementation
service
delivery, quality assurance, reformation of the inspectorate of education
and several
developmental concerns.
Due process
started by the budget monitoring and price intelligence unit
under madam
Obiageli Ezekwesili 2007. Anumber of new rules and standards have
been put in
place by the inspectorate while there have been effort at sensitizing the
state
branches of the federal inspectorate of the education. The prime objective of
the Due
process is to harmonize and update all the federal and state inspectorate of
education
policies and practices on inspection. Also to strictly enforce the Due process
principles of transparency, in other to ensure efficient and integrity based monitoring
of the implementation of FIS and SIE guide line with Due process principles.
