The research findings revealed that bookkeeping training needs and Credit recovery training needs emerged as a significant factor in enhancing the performance of women entrepreneurs. On the other hand, access to finance training needs had a highly significant negative impact on the performance of women entrepreneurs. Based on the findings, the study recommends that Government agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and other relevant stakeholders should collaborate to provide comprehensive and accessible bookkeeping, access to finance and credit recovery training to women entrepreneurs.

    (European Centre for Research Training and Development -UK, 2024-02-02) Ifeoma Uche Uzochukwu; Mariam Shehu-Usman; Nasamu Gambo; Bakare Akeem Adewale
    In recent times, and in light of the global economic downturn, there have been calls for accountability and improved efficiency in the Nigerian public sector. The recently announced implementation of performance appraisal system across the entire federal civil service has highlighted the need for a review of the practice of performance appraisal in the public sector given the typical political influence that permeates most organizations in the sector. Drawing upon Equity Theory, this study examines the impact of performance appraisal fairness on employee productivity in Nigerian federal regulatory agencies, with emphasis on the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC). A descriptive survey research design was adopted, with primary data collected from staff of NAFDAC using a five-point Likert scale model questionnaire. Correlation and regression techniques were used to analyze the data which was collected through non probability quota sampling. The result revealed that interactional, procedural and distributive fairness in performance appraisal were statistically significant and positively influenced employees’ productivity in NAFDAC. Thus, the study recommends that considering the planned implementation of performance appraisal system across the entire federal civil service, government should design performance appraisal systems that will appropriately address these constructs to improve efficiency, accountability and productivity of the public sector.

    The success of any construction project largely depends on the ability to manage project costs effectively. However, cost control in the Nigerian construction industry is characterized by numerous issues such as inadequate planning, poor communication, lack of accountability, and corruption. This conceptual review aims to examine the current state of project cost control in the Nigerian construction industry, identify the key factors affecting cost control, and provide insights into possible solutions to these challenges. The Nigerian construction industry has been plagued with cost overruns, delays, and poor project performance, which have led to a significant waste of resources and financial loss. The findings of this review will be useful to stakeholders in the construction industry, including project managers, policymakers, and researchers, and will help to improve the cost management practices in the Nigerian construction industry. The study reveals that ineffective cost control strategies, poor project planning, and inadequate monitoring and control systems are major issues affecting project cost control in Nigeria. The review also highlights the need for a shift towards more proactive and integrated cost control approaches, as well as the adoption of emerging technologies in project cost control. Ultimately, this study provides valuable insights into the challenges faced by project managers in controlling project costs in the Nigerian construction industry and offers recommendations for improving project cost control practices.

    Over the years, several projects in the Nigerian construction industry have failed to meet various indicators of project success due to communication breakdown among construction project stakeholders in Nigeria. In this regard, communication pattern was considered as a determinant of construction project success in Nigeria. The study adopted the quantitative research approach and survey research design. The population of the study was project managers and a sample size of 344 was determined while a questionnaire was distributed to project managers within northcentral, Nigeria to collect data. Data collected were analysed with inferential statistical techniques. The study found that chain pattern communication significantly impacts construction project success. Similarly, wheel pattern communication significantly influenced the construction project’s success while circle pattern of communication also significantly impacted the construction project’s success. It was concluded that the three communication patterns determine construction project success in north-central, Nigeria. Therefore, project managers should be mindful of these communication patterns to achieve timely construction projects without compromising quality. The study recommends the adoption of all three communication patterns in the life of every construction project.
