The manufacturing sector in North West Nigeria is not operating at its peak potential, despite the emphasis on penetration strategy (pricing, product, and promotion). The study’s objective was to ascertain how penetration strategy affects the performance of the industrial sector in North-West Nigeria. Surveys were used as the primary method of the study’s investigation. 81 people made up the study’s population and sample size. The preferred statistical technique used in the study was multiple regression, and the respondents’ responses to a questionnaire were used to gather the study’s data. According to the findings, the penetration strategy’s price (PRI and PROM = 0.02 + 0.14 and 0.02 +1.71) and product (PROD = 0.2 - 1.30) components have a significant impact on the performance (effectiveness) of the manufacturing sector in North West Nigeria, both positively and negatively. The study advises the manufacturing sector in North-West Nigeria to continually altering price and promotion strategies to improve performance because doing so is an efficient way to draw in new clients. This is necessary for the market penetration plan to be implemented effectively. Spend more energy and time on a promotion to raise brand awareness. Due to this unfavourable impact, employ an efficient marketing plan that will raise product awareness in such places.Item Profitability And Financial Sustainability Of Microfinance Banks In Nigeria(Fuw-International Journal of Management and Social Sciences., 2022-02-02) Nasamu Gambo; Rimamnde Rikwentishe; Nungala Danjuma UsmanThis study seeks to evaluate the profitability of microfinance banks operating in Nigeria as a precondition of financial sustainability.

S. ShuaibuABSTRACT Several studies have attributed high maternal mortality and morbidity rates in rural areas of developing countries including Nigeria to poor budget performance in the provision of primary health care (PHC) facilities. Yet, very little studies focused on the effects of factors affecting budget implementation for the successful delivery of PHC building facilities in the rural areas of Nigeria. Thus, this study assesses the factors affecting budget implementation for successful delivery of PHC building facilities in northern Nigeria. A sample of 317 respondents from a population of 1777 project managers was administered questionnaires through stratified propor tionate random sampling technique. The survey attains 87% valid response rate. Data obtained were analyzed using warp5 PLS-SEM software. The results indicated low effects of factors affect ing budget implementation on the successful delivery of PHC building facilities in northern Nigeria. Similarly, linear relationships exist between budget implementation factors and success ful delivery of PHC building facilities. Moreover, the study provided criteria for assessing the effects of budget implementation factors affecting successful delivery of PHC building facilities in northern Nigeria and other developing countries that are facing similar problems. The study solicited for the improvement on the budget implementation of PHC sector through adequate budget and monitoring bases for mitigating maternal mortality and morbidity rates in the rural areas of developing countries through successful delivery of PHC building facilities.Item Impact of Performance Appraisal Fairness on Employee Productivity in Nigerian Federal Regulatory Agencies(European Centre for Research Training and Development -UK, 2024-02-02) Ifeoma Uche Uzochukwu; Mariam Shehu-Usman; Nasamu Gambo; Bakare Akeem AdewaleIn 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.Item Impact of Project Cost Control on the Financial Performance of the Nigerian Construction Industry(Scientific Research Publishing Inc., 2024-02-02) Abani Joseph Alu; Muritala Taiwo Adewale; Ogedengbe Frank Alaba; Nasamu Gambo; Nwoye May IfeomaThe 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.
