Abstract

This research delves into the intricate relationship between population dynamics, agricultural value chain, and environmental degradation in Otukpo Local Government Area (LGA), Benue State, Nigeria. The burgeoning population in the region has precipitated notable shifts in land use patterns, agricultural methodologies, and the overall environmental landscape. A robust research methodology was employed to explore this phenomenon comprehensively. Both primary and secondary data were collected, with a sample size of 400 determined using Taro Yamane's formula. This sample was then strategically distributed among the 13 clans within the LGA, yielding 380 returned samples for meticulous analysis. Statistical analysis, facilitated by tools such as standard deviation and mean, was conducted using SPSS software. Employing a mean criterion of 3.0, questionnaires were administered via survey techniques to discern respondents' perspectives. The research findings illuminate the multifaceted impacts of population dynamics in Otukpo LGA. Notably, these dynamics have instigated challenges within the agricultural value chain, manifesting as farmland degradation and pollution. These repercussions have reverberated throughout the environment, precipitating biodiversity loss, soil contamination, and rampant deforestation. The research also underscores the nuanced nature of these challenges. While population growth undeniably exacerbates these issues, it is crucial to acknowledge the contributory role of ineffective public policies in perpetuating environmental and agricultural dilemmas within the region. In light of these findings, the research advocates for formulating sustainable policies and evidence-based solutions. Addressing these issues holistically demands a concerted effort to mitigate the adverse impacts of population dynamics on agricultural practices and environmental sustainability.

Abstract

This study examines the national demand-side climate change mitigation plan and its socio-economic impact in Nigeria, aiming to assess the opportunities and challenges of promoting sustainable development while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study combines qualitative and quantitative data to provide a comprehensive understanding of the socio-economic impacts of demand-side climate change mitigation strategies in Nigeria. The study's findings reveal that Nigeria's climate change mitigation policies and strategies have the potential to promote low-carbon economic development, reduce poverty, and improve public health. However, the study also highlights the challenges of implementing these policies, including limited funding, inadequate infrastructure, and lack of awareness and education on climate change issues. The study concludes that by promoting sustainable development and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, Nigeria can achieve its climate goals thereby contribute to global efforts to address climate change, and recommends for increased investment in renewable energy, promotion of climate-resilient agriculture, and development of climate-resilient infrastructure to reduce the impacts of climate change. The study also recommends that policymakers and stakeholders should prioritize climate change education and awareness, and promote participatory and inclusive approaches to climate change research and policy development. Overall, the study provides insights into the opportunities and challenges of promoting sustainable development and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in Nigeria, and highlights the need for a comprehensive and integrated approach to addressing climate change impacts in the country.

Abstract

Using yearly data series spanning 41 years, from 1981 to 2021, the research empirically evaluates the influence of FDI on poverty in Nigeria. The study's dependent variable was the poverty rate (PVT), while the independent variable were foriegn direct investment (FDI) into agriculture (FDI), manufacturing (FDIM), services (FDIS), trade openness (OPN), and the exchange rate (EXR). Statistical tools such as descriptive analysis, unit root testing, and ECM modelling were used to access date that was received from secondary sour. Foriegn Direct Investment (FDI) in the agriculture sector decreases the poverty rate, FDIM in the manufacturing sector increases the poverty rate, FDIS in the service sector increases the poverty rate. OPN decreases the poverty rate, and EXR increases the poverty rate in Nigeria, according to the ECM. Foriegn Direct Investment (FDI) did not alleviate poverty in Nigeria during the research poriod the study found. The research concludes that foriegn direct investment (FDI) may help Nigeria's economy and alleviate poverty if the government takes steps to attract FDI, such as lowering taxes, subsidizing infrastructure and eliminate import duties.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of cashless policy on the Nigerian rural economy, using Akwa Ibom State as a case study. A survey of 328 people from three senatorial districts was conducted, with a sample size of 400. The study found that cashless policy helps in tracking expenses, preventing cash flow outside the formal banking system, reducing money laundering, and reducing stress during payments. However, challenges such as inadequate payment channels, internet fraud exposure, poor electronic banking networks, and high charges hinder its implementation. The researchers urge the government and policymakers to provide reliable methods to combat internet fraud, reduce charges on electronic banking platforms, and educate the public on the benefits of cashless policies.
