Towards Resolving the Tension between Democracy and Bureaucracy in the Human Resources Procurement in the Nigerian Fourth Republic Public Service

Nigeria's fourth republic faces development challenge owing to the tensions between democracy and bureaucracy as it affects human resource recruitment that can translate in providing capacity for development. The federal character act is complicit in providing a recruitment policy template for the public service that is obsolete and is in conflict with modern bureaucratic expectations and development practice. Contextual and theoretical (dialectism, hegemonic stability and public choice theories) import with related problematic issues were considered and recommendations effectively captured the conflict atmosphere from which power-holders and the bureaucracy contend with policy choices and the burden they inflict on the state; the most obvious way out is to create transparent, accountable, representative and inclusive institutions that make public choices from consent and compromise.
