The Effect of Democratic Zoning System on Nigeria Economy: Evidence of Niger State

<p>The introduction of the zoning system into Nigeria political space was to aid the smooth rotation of key political positions across the country. This policy is to achieve fairness, peace and equitable distribution of resource. Its adverse effect on the economy is thus something to worry about. Therefore, the study examines the effect of democratic zoning system on the economy of Nigeria, with special reference to Niger state. Employing descriptive statistics and multiple regressions. The results revealed that the elements of democratic zoning <em>vis-à-vis; </em>peace, equity, unity and justice has a positive and significant effect on the growth of the Nigeria economy. The authors thus recommends the government at both levels should focus on providing simultaneous development projects to pave way for peace and unity, zoning system should be incorporated into the Nigeria constitution, unbiased and equitable distribution of resources across the economy.</p>DOI: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.15408/etk.v17i1.6592">10.15408/etk.v17i1.6592</a

Coherent vector pi-pulse in optical amplifiers

We obtain an exact linearly polarized vector solitary solution for the amplification of an optical pulse with a time width short compared with both population and polarization decay time. This dissipative soliton results from the balance between the gain from inverted resonant two-level atoms and the linear loss of the host material. We suppose that the excited state of the active centers is degenerate on the projection of the angular momentum, with a symmetric state of inversion. Quite remarkably, we find that after the passing of the pulse, the atomic medium does not return to the ground state, and a finite Zeeman coherence is generated. Numerical simulations demonstrate the stability of vector π solitons with an arbitrary state of elliptical polarization in the presence of both linear birefringence and group-velocity dispersion of the host material
