Abstract

This study examined an evaluation of educational supervision in improving teaching quality in Akure South LGA, Ondo State, Nigeria. Descriptive survey research design was employed in which a total sample of 120 Principals, Vice – principals, HOD’s, Subject Heads were randomly selected from a population of 2,224 teachers in Akure South Local Government Area of Ondo State, Nigeria. One research question and two hypotheses guided the conduct of the study. Findings revealed that both teachers and principals unanimously agreed with all the item of the ESTQQ (Educational Supervision Teaching Quality Questionnaire) that is, teachers’ qualification, experience, mastery of subject and classroom management and how it affects teaching quality in junior public secondary schools in Akure South LGA, Ondo State, Nigeria. Based on the findings, it was discovered that there is a wide array of challenges that educational supervision encounters in its mission to elevate teaching quality. Among these challenges are, the lack of adequate training programs for teachers, insufficient channels for effective communication between supervisors and the teacher, and a pervasive organizational climate that often stifles open dialogue and feedback. It was recommended that supportive environment promoting open communication among teachers and fostering trust and collaboration among staff is more effective and responsive toward educational supervision process.

Abstract

Nigeria's oil and gas sector, a significant contributor to the country's economy, accounts for 92% of export value and 5.5% of GDP. However, challenges such as supply chain inefficiencies hinder its optimal performance. This study investigates the impact of supply chain management strategies on the performance of Nigerian oil and gas companies. Adopting a mixed-method research design, the study utilized Taro Yamane’s formula to determine a sample size of 100 respondents, employing stratified random sampling to select participants from the upstream, midstream, and downstream operational strata of the oil and gas industry. Data collection was conducted through structured questionnaires and interviews, while data analysis employed descriptive statistics, including frequency distributions, percentages, means, and standard deviations. Hypotheses were tested using chi-square statistics to establish relationships and validate findings. The results revealed that the integration of advanced technologies, third-party logistics providers, and effective risk management significantly enhances supply chain performance in the oil and gas sector. The study recommends the adoption of advanced data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain technology, the Internet of Things (IoT), and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems for data-driven decision-making, risk prediction, operational optimization, and demand forecasting. Additionally, oil and gas companies should conduct comprehensive risk assessments, develop robust business continuity plans (BCPs), and implement regular drills and simulations to ensure operational resilience during disruptions. This study contributes to the body of knowledge on supply chain management strategies in the oil and gas sector, particularly within the Nigerian context

Abstract

This study examines the role of entrepreneurial orientation on the performance of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Nigeria. The objective was to determine the effect of innovativeness, risk-taking, proactiveness, autonomy and competitive aggressiveness on the performance of SMEs in Nigeria. Using a 21-item questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale, the authors collected data on entrepreneurial orientation and SMES Performance. Taro Yamani Formula determined the sample size of 222 SME owners, Managers and Workers. Collected data was analysed with the use of a frequency distribution table, and simple percentages and the hypotheses were tested with Chi-Square statistical formula. The study revealed that innovativeness, risk-taking, proactiveness and competitive aggressiveness enhance the performance of SMEs. The practice of autonomy does not enhance SMEs' performance. The research suggests that SME owners and managers should be creative and innovative to adapt to external changes and customer needs. They should take calculated risks, invest in new products and services, conduct competitor analysis, and encourage employee initiatives.

Abstract

This study examined the effect of asset effectiveness, profitability, leverage, liquidity, and company size on firm value in the Food and Beverage companies that are listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. The study employed the descriptive research design method, and purposive sampling techniques were used to select 10 out of 23 food and beverage companies listed in the Nigerian Stock. Secondary data was collected from the five-year financial statements of the companies. The study adopted E-views 12 to analyze all the data in this study. The finding of this study revealed that Current Asset (CR) has a negative and insignificant effect on food and beverages firms’ PBV, Debt-Equity Ratio (DER) has a positive and significant impact on PBV, Return on Asset (ROE) has a positive and an insignificant impact on PBV and Company Size (CS) has a negative and a significant impact on PBV. The study recommends that; firms must strike a balance between liquidity and efficiency to maximize firm value. Companies should aim to strike a balance between debt and equity that aligns with their strategic objectives and risk tolerance. Companies should regularly review and adjust their DER ratios as part of their overall financial strategy. Investors and analysts should adopt a comprehensive approach to evaluating firm value.

Abstract

The conflict between herdsmen and crop farmers in Nigeria has significantly impacted the productivity of yam farmers in the Logo Local Government Area of Benue State. The study investigated this conflict's impact on yam farmers' productivity. Data was collected from a structured questionnaire administered to 400 households affected by the conflict. The study found that the conflict negatively impacts the productivity of yam farmers in the Logo Local Government Area. The study reveals that 67.3% of yam farmers in Benue State are male, with a mean age of 35. The majority are married, have an average household size of 11 people, and have a small-scale farm size. Their low education level may contribute to unabated conflict dynamics. The study reveals that herdsmen attacks significantly reduce the productivity of yam farmers in the study area, with a higher number of respondents producing more output before the attacks and a lower number after the attacks. The logit regression model shows that Fulani attacks, attacks by Fulani herdsmen, and technology led to significant deaths in households, reducing the labour force, destroying farmers' inputs, and instilling terror. In conclusion, the study reveals that herdsmen attacks have significantly reduced the productivity of yam farmers in the study area, affecting not only the labour force but also their inputs and livelihoods, highlighting the detrimental impact of conflict-related violence. It was recommended that the government should also provide easy access to finance for farmers affected by this conflict to recover their lost farm capital.

Abstract

The debate between nature and nurture is a long-standing and highly deliberated concept in fields ranging from psychology to education. This research therefore sought to determine the effects of nature and nurture on academic performance, learning approaches, behaviours, and educational expectations among students within the context of Ogun State, Nigeria. The study adopted a quantitative research design where data was collected from 240 students and 60 teachers from three local government areas using structured questionnaires. Descriptive statistics, correlation analyses, and independent sample t-tests were used to analyze data. In this context, both direct genetic effects and indirect environmental influences on the investigated educational outcomes were identified. However, the level of using environmental factors including socioeconomic status, family, teaching approaches and resources was higher with significantly more frequency. The correlation analyses and t-tests also corroborated these findings, suggesting a connection between environment and academic performance, learning styles, behavioural patterns and educational achievements. The study adds to the current body of knowledge on the nature-nurture debate within the context of the education system in Nigeria. The findings underscore the role of socioeconomic status in children’s achievement and readiness to learn, emphasizing the need for equal opportunities in education and support for their aspirations. In the same respect, the study emphasizes the importance of a bio-psychosocial model that considers both genetic predeterminations and environmental conditions to explain educational processes and performance.

Abstract

This study examined negative attitude of public secondary school students towards education in Ife South LGA, Osun State, Nigeria. Five research questions and five research hypotheses was raised. The study adopted the descriptive research design. The population of this study consists of all public senior secondary principals, teachers, students and parents in Ife South LGA, Osun State. Two hundred and thirty (230) respondents were randomly selected as sample for this study but only One Hundred Ninety – Six (196) questionnaires were retrieved for data analysis. A structured questionnaire was constructed and administered to the respondents for data collection. The data on the bio-data of the respondents were analyzed using simple percentages, frequency distribution tables and Chi-square (X2) statistical tool at 0.05 level of significance used for analyzing the hypotheses raised. The study found no significant relationship between planning and management and negative attitudes of public secondary school students in Ife–South LGA, Osun State. However, the school environment significantly impacts students' negative attitudes. Teachers' working experience, qualifications, and physical infrastructure also play a role. A conducive learning environment should be provided by both the Federal and State Governments in Nigeria, including well-equipped laboratories, workshops, classrooms, libraries, staff offices, and classroom accommodation. In conclusion, the study highlights the importance of addressing these factors to improve students' attitudes towards education in Ife–South LGA, Osun State. The study recommends that Nigerian leaders adopt the UNESCO recommendation for funding education, taking adequate remuneration and motivation seriously for teaching staff.
