    (Taylor & Francis, 2019-02-02) Nasamu Gambo; Ibrahim Ibrahim Inuwa; Nuruddeen Usman; Ilias Said; U. S. Shuaibu
    ABSTRACT 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.

    Assessing the Impact of Entrepreneurship Education on the Entrepreneurial Intention of Nigerian Entrepreneurship Students
    (Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia, 2019-02-02) Owoyemi Amuda; Umaru Zubairu; Bello Ibrahim; Maitala Faiza
    This study investigated the impact of entrepreneurship education on the entrepreneurial intentions (EI) of students enrolled at the Department of Entrepreneurship and Business Studies located in the Federal University of Technology Minna, Nigeria. It employed a cross-section survey design using a questionnaire adapted from Turker & Selcuk (2009). A comparison of the mean EI scores of 82 final-year and 68 second year students revealed that there was no significant difference in entrepreneurial intentions between the two groups of students. This implied that the curriculum of the department needed to be revised, and that a policy of mandating entrepreneurship education at the university level was insufficient to address the alarming youth unemployment problem in Nigeria.

    How Does Customers’ Satisfaction Affect Business Performance? Evidence From Nigeria
    (Osogbo Journal of Management (OJM), 2017-02-02) Bakare Akeem Adewale; Fetuga Omoshalewa Mariam
    The study examines the impact of customers’ satisfaction on business profitability from Nigeria perspective. The SPSS package was used to analyze the linear regression in order to establish the relationship between the variables involved in the study. The results showed a positive relationship between customers’ retention and profitability which implies that mobile operators need to maximize customer satisfaction in order to influence the extent of loyalty and retention on the products’ patronage. However, this study recommends that mobile operators should not just rely on profit margins as a good indicator of business performance but rather should develop strategies that better capture customers’ perceptions of their service offerings.

    (Journal of Global Economics, 2018-02-02) Ebire Kolawole; Lucky Otsoge Onmonya; V Ekemini Inim
    Most nations all over the world institutes policies to attract more Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows. Identifying the key determinants of FDI inflows is therefore seen as an important task for policy makers. This study therefore, investigates the major determinants of FDI in Nigeria spanning from 1986-2017. Secondary source of data were used for the study which were first subjected to stationarity test using Augmented Dickey Fuller and Phillips Perron test. Findings showed that all variables were found to be integrated into the order of one. Cointegration analysis showed that there exist a long run relationship among the variables. Based on these findings, Error Correction Mechanism was used in testing the hypotheses. The result showed that exchange rate, GDP, first lag of GDP, military expenditure, first lag of military expenditure, political stability and financial development are the major determinants of FDI inflows to Nigeria. The study therefore recommends among others that, government at all levels should tackle the menace of insecurity ravaging the economy and portraying the country as insecure thereby creating a secured environment for FDI inflows. Democratic regimes should be sustained and investment policies should be instituted or improved on, in order to create a friendly environment to attract more FDI inflows.

    (Journal of Accounting and Management Information Systems (JAMIS), 2015-02-02) Uthman Ahmad Bukola; Oke, Lukman Adebayo; Ajape, Mohammed Kayode; Abdul-Baki, Zayyad; Tijani, Murhtala Oladipupo
    Corruption, be it financial or non-financial is a global cankerworm that has eaten deep into the fabrics of many nations and war against it has been a recurring decimal in every economy. In Nigeria, recent attempts at nipping corruption in the bud gave rise to some anti-graft agencies such as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Against this background, opinion of 140 accountants in various capacities was sought on the efficacy of the anti-graft agencies in curbing financial crimes through a survey questionnaire. The study found that respondents group perceived the anti-graft agencies as highly effective but could not establish that accountants in various walks of life differ significantly in their perception of the efficacy of the Nigerian Anti-graft bureaus (Overall Mean= 2.98, F= 2.263 and P>0.05)using ANOVA as statistical analysis tool. It was recommended that Nigerian government should strengthen the Anti-financial crimes agencies given that the influence of highly placed offenders, the dignity, societal bondage and shame inherent in financial crimes may affect the potency of anti financial crimes measures put in place.

    Bank Capital, Operating Efficiency, and Corporate Performance in Nigeria
    (Acta Univ. Sapientiae, Economics and Business,, 2018-02-02) Abdulai Agbaje Salami; Uthman Ahmad Bukola
    This study examines the impact of bank capital and operating efficiency on the Nigerian deposit money bank financial performance with a view to resolving risk-based and non-risk-based capitals’ dichotomy existing in the bank literature. Using bank-specific data obtained from the annual reports and accounts of 15 banks listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange between 2012 and 2015, the panel data regression analyses revealed the superiority of standard capital ratio of equity-to-total-assets, a non-risk-based capital, over other measures. While all measures, both risk-based and non-risk-based capitals, showed significantly positive effects on bank performance as measured by return-on-asset, mixed results were obtained from other indicators: return-on-equity and net-interest-margin. Overall, only equity-to-total-assets influenced all adopted performance indicators positively. It was also found that operating efficiency measured by cost-to income ratio had negative impact on bank performance, but on the average it appeared too high. Thus, incorporating the standard capital ratio of equity-to-total assets into regulatory regime by the banks’ regulator is recommended to ensure its relevance is not overshadowed.

    The role of accounting and accountants in the oil subsidy corruption scandal in Nigeria
    (Elsevier, 2019-02-02) Zayyad, Abdul-Baki; Uthman, Ahmad Bukola; Abubakar, S. Kasum
    Accounting firms have long been profit-orientated ventures, and their pursuit of profits has overshadowed the protection of the public interest they avow. This study investigates how corruption, as an institutionalized practice in Nigeria, has led two accounting firms to support and engage in corruption rather than guard against it in an oil subsidy corruption scandal in Nigeria. Adopting Dillard, Rigsby, and Goodman’s (2004) model of institutional theory, the study argues that the institutionalization of corruption, through its pervasiveness at the social, economic and political level, is a premise for its institutionalization at the organizational field level (the oil subsidy scheme). Because the two accounting firms were both involved in the operation of the oil subsidy scheme, their practices were essentially forced to conform to the institutionalized practice—corruption—as opposed to the protection of the public interest.
