Abstract

The study examines Nigeria's resource allocation and usage as the gap in the country's pursuit of sustainable progress. The primary goal of the study is to investigate how Nigeria has struggled to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) due to inefficient use and distribution of financial, human, and material resources. Human and material resources are essential in every aspect of a company. An organization's ability to advance in all directions might be hindered by poorly managed human and material resources. Resources management offers a systematic assessment, requisitioning, and approval process for the evaluation and acquisition of products, equipment, and resources. The goal of resources management is to continuously seek opportunities to reduce costs and improve performance through the cost-effective selection and standardization of products, equipment, and related processes. A successful and efficient local government system will be preceded by well-managed human resources and material resources. while preserving or raising the standard of the services and care that are offered to the public. Subjectivism serves as the ontological orientation in this study, which employs a qualitative approach grounded in interpretivist philosophy. According to the study's findings, corruption, ethnic prejudices, poor governance, a lack of accountability, a lack of transparency, and unnecessary expenditure on pointless activities have all contributed to Nigeria's egregious inefficiency in resource allocation and use. According to the study's conclusion, Nigeria would be headed toward sustainable development if appropriate project planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation were done transparently and resources were used and distributed effectively. Therefore, the report suggests that Nigeria adopt economic and technical efficiencies in the distribution and use of its resources in order to achieve the aims of sustainable development.

Abstract

Digital transformation has reconstructed the marketing landscape, presenting TikTok as a narrative and affective space in shaping consumption decisions. This study investigates the interaction between Storytelling Marketing (STM), Electronic Word of Mouth (e-WOM), and Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) in mediating One Piece comic purchase intention. With a PLS-SEM approach to 385 respondents, it was found that STM and e-WOM not only have a direct impact on purchasing decisions, but also form a psychological resonance in the form of FOMO which strengthens consumptive urges. TikTok in this case is not just a medium, but an affective field where perceptions, emotions, and social impulses intertwine, blurring the line between narrative and economic decisions. This finding confirms the role of content strategy as a construction of meaning that activates symbolic ownership through collective emotional urgency.

Abstract

This study analyzes the level of economic development disparity among regions in East Java Province during the period 2009–2023 using the Klassen Typology approach. The study aims to map the classification of regions based on economic growth rates and per capita GRDP to identify spatial disparities among the 38 districts/cities in the province. The analysis results indicate significant inequality, with regions such as Surabaya, Sidoarjo, and Gresik consistently categorized as advanced and rapidly growing areas (Quadrant I), while regions such as Sampang, Pamekasan, and Bondowoso fall into the underdeveloped category (Quadrant IV). This phenomenon shows that the economic spillover effect from growth centers to surrounding regions remains suboptimal and suggests the need for spatially-based policy interventions. This study provides important implications for formulating more inclusive regional development policies and recommends further quantitative analysis to identify the determinants of inequality in greater depth.

Abstract

Islamic Micro Finance (IMF) has an important role in supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Indonesia by providing inclusive financial access based on sharia. This study aims to analyze how the IMF contributes to poverty alleviation (SDG 1), increasing financial inclusion (SDG 9), reducing economic inequality (SDG 10), promoting sustainable economic growth (SDG 8) and improving financial education and awareness (SDG 4). The research method used is a qualitative descriptive approach with literature analysis and case studies from several sharia microfinance institutions in Indonesia. The research results show that the IMF through instruments such as qardhul hasan, mudharabah, musyarakah, and ZISWAF is able to provide financial solutions for poor community groups and micro businesses. In addition, the digitalization of sharia financial services further increases the IMF's reach in supporting financial inclusion. However, there are challenges that still need to be overcome, such as limited capital, low sharia financial literacy, and regulations that are not yet optimal. Therefore, strengthening regulations, sharia financial education and Islamic financial technology innovation are key strategies for optimizing the IMF's role in achieving the SDGs in Indonesia. This study provides an original contribution by highlighting the strategic role of Islamic Micro Finance in achieving SDGs in Indonesia through a sharia-based approach. The added value of this study lies in the integration between Islamic financial instruments and sustainable development goals, as well as the importance of digital innovation and financial education in the local context.
