This study aims to evaluate the Technical and Vocational, Education and Training (TVET) program in the Federal Polytechnic Ilaro using the Kirkpatrick model. The model provided a very reliable and valuable framework for evaluating education and technical training or programs with four levels of Behaviour, Learning, Reaction, and Outcome/Impact. The study population is 14290 students registered during the 2021/2022 academic session of the Institution. Krejcie and Morgam's (1974) sampling technique was adopted to have a 375 sample size for questionnaire administration purposes. The study purposively selected 375 sample sizes among the graduating classes in three out of five faculty, in which the institution was divided, to represent fifty percent of the stratification. The choice of graduating classes is to have those that are about to complete their academic program, and have gone through TVET-inclined programs for self-evaluation on the changes in their behavior, learning, reaction, and noticeable outcome-impact of TVET program on them in their immediate business environment. Descriptive and inferential statistics were adopted for analysis. The result of the findings through regression analysis produced an Adjusted R-Square of -0.005, F Statistics of 0.363, and a significant value of 0.780, which indicate that Learning, Behaviour, and Reaction did not influence the Outcome or Result of the TVET program. It was concluded that learning, reaction, and behavior were adequate in the TVET program with most respondents agreeing to the variables used to test the three levels, but had no influence on the Outcome/Impact on the improvement in the trainee’s life after the program in the Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro, Nigeria.

A key component of employee job satisfaction, performance, health-related outcomes, and exit intentions is the ability to successfully strike a balance between professional obligations and personal commitment and well-being. This study looked at how work-life balance practices affected employees' health-related outcomes and plans to leave the Federal Polytechnic in Nigeria. By administering a questionnaire to a sample size of 274 people, which was determined by using Krejcie and Morgan sampling procedures and chosen through a stratified sampling approach, the study utilised a quantitative way of survey research design. Regression analysis and ANOVA, two inferential statistics, were used to evaluate the obtained data. The analysis of how work-life balance practices affect health-related outcomes among Federal Polytechnic employees in Ilaro, Ogun State, found that work-life balance practices account for approximately 37% of the variation in health-related outcomes among Federal Polytechnic employees in Ilaro, Ogun State. Additionally, it was shown that work-life balance practices, including flexible work schedules, leadership support, organisational culture, and generous leave policies, were responsible for almost 54% of the differences in exit intentions among Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro Ogun State employees. The study found that while work-life balance practices like flexible work schedules and generous leave policies differ significantly between teaching and non-teaching staff, health-related outcomes and exit intentions resulting from these practices do not differ significantly between the two groups. According to the study's findings, work-life balance policies have an impact on employees' health-related outcomes and plans to leave the Federal Polytechnic in Nigeria.

Purpose: This study examines the effects of community radio programs on political education in Ibadan Metropolis, Oyo State, Nigeria. Research methodology: This study adopted a survey research strategy, using a mixed method of quantitative and qualitative data. This was a cross-sectional study in which data were collected at one point in time to examine the effects of community radio programs on political education in Ibadan Metropolis, Oyo State, Nigeria. The study population consisted of students, staff, visitors, and residents of the university and its environment. However, Cochran’s (1977) sampling technique was used to determine a sample size of 384 for questionnaire administration. Data were analyzed through descriptive methods using frequency distributions and percentages, as well as inferential statistics through multiple regression analysis. Result: The results show that the regression coefficient for political news is -0.070 and is statistically significant, political advertising is 0.299 and is statistically significant, and political discussion is 0.199 and is statistically significant. From the analysis, only political news does not have a positive relationship but is significant for political education in Ibadan Metropolis, Oyo State, Nigeria. Contribution: This study has been able to establish the level of relationship between community radio programs and political education in Ibadan Metropolis, Oyo State, and Nigeria. Limitation: The study only covers the Ibadan metropolis due to a lack of funds. Extension to a state, region, or all of Nigeria would have provided a more robust argument.

The Nigerian public service has faced significant challenges in delivering quality services to citizens, which necessitate the adoption of New Public Management (NPM) strategies. New Public Management focused on improving the quality-of-service delivery and public sector performance through a market-oriented approach of performance measurement, decentralization of decision making, performance contracting, and accountability for results, among others. This study examines the extent of adoption of NPM strategies in the Nigerian public service using the selected federal ministries of Nigeria. Survey research design through qualitative and quantitative (mixed method) approaches was used for data collection and analysis. The population of the study comprised 5,150 senior staff from Grade Level 7 and above at the headquarters of the Federal Ministries of Nigeria as of 31st August, 2024. The study adopted a multi-stage sampling technique. Krejcie and Morgan's sampling technique was applied to the population to have a sample size of 357 for questionnaire administration. Quantitative data collected through questionnaire administration were analyzed using descriptive statistics of the frequency distribution table and inferential statistics of Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Qualitative data collected through semi-structured interview sessions with sampled respondents were analyzed using thematic analysis. The study revealed from the result of the analysis of variance that there are differences in the extent of adopting accountability for results (F4,313=14.457, p<0.005), decentralization of decision-making (F4,313=14.092, p<0.005), performance measurement (F4,313=51.187, p<0.005), performance contracting (F4,313=9.444, p<0.005), and use of information technology (F4,313=11.567, p<0.005) in the selected Federal Ministries of Nigeria. The study concluded that there are differences in the adoption of NPM strategies in the Nigerian public service, influencing the quality of service delivery and public sector performance.
