    (Fuw-International Journal of Management and Social Sciences., 2022-02-02) Nasamu Gambo; Rimamnde Rikwentishe; Nungala Danjuma Usman
    This study seeks to evaluate the profitability of microfinance banks operating in Nigeria as a precondition of financial sustainability. Profitable banks tend to maintain adequate capital, high deposit base, high liquidity status and high loan quality. Correlational research design was adopted for the study and balanced panel data was used. Financial sustainability microfinance banks were profiled on size, capital adequacy and liquidity status, deposit base and loan quality following a balanced panel design. Multiple regression was used to analyze the data collected. The study reveals low level of profitability and sustainability, and hence recommends that Government and Monetary authorities (CBN) should increase the capital requirements for the establishment of Microfinance Banks as the current requirements are inadequate; embark on effective monitoring of the activities of Microfinance Banks; and promulgate policies that will enhance transparency, proper accountability and competition in the sector to attract more credible investors.

    (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.

    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 Ifeoma
    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.

    Market and Operational Risk Impact on Quoted Deposit Money Banks’ Financial Performance in Nigeria
    (Open Journal of Business and Management, 2024-02-02) John Agbana; Abbas Umar Ibrahim; Maitala Faiza
    The rising importance of market and operational risk to controlling financial risks inherent in Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in Nigeria remains integral to their financial performances. Thus, this study assesses the impact of market and operational risk on DMB performance in Nigeria. Eight (8) years of data between 2015 and 2023 retrieved from the published annual reports of thirteen (13) DMBs were applied for this study. The analysis includes descriptive statistics and inferential statistics of correlation and panel regression for this study. The outcome of this study posits that the variables MRSK and OPSK have an impact of approximately 66%, 61%, and 65% on ROA for the pooled effect model, fixed effect model, and random effect model, respectively while their impact on EPS shows an impact of about 70%, 74% and 73% correspondingly for all the scenarios applied indicating that MRSK and OPSK are positive and negative predictors respectively. This study concluded that there has been a significant impact of both the MRSK and OPSK on EPS and ROA for the pooled, fixed and random effect model respectively for the period under review. This study recommended that management should prioritise implementing cost management measures to reduce the ratio of operating expenditures, which will ultimately result in improved profit margins. If the bank does not aggressively address recurrent modest losses in its daily operations, which are often caused by its inability to utilise its fixed costs effectively, its demise is inevitable

    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.

    (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.

    (Scientific Research Publishing Inc., 2023-02-02) Sule Yakubu; Muritala Taiwo Adewale; Abubakar Hauwa Lamino; Bakare Akeem Adewale; Wasiu Akintunde Yusuf; Hafsat Olatanwa Afolabi
    The study examined the impact of pension funds on capital market development in Nigeria from 1995-2022 using ex-post facto research design. Data were collected from the Central Bank of Nigeria statistical bulletin and annual report of the pension fund commission. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, unit root test and auto regressive lag model (ARDL). The findings show that there is a long run relationship between market capitalization as a ratio of gross domestic product and selected pension fund variables in Nigeria. Also, there is a no long run relationship between all share index as a ratio of gross domestic product and selected pension fund variables in Nigeria. This implies that there is a short run relationship between all share index as a ratio of gross domestic product and selected pension fund variables in Nigeria. Also, pension fund has positive and statistically insignificant implying that the present value of pension contributory fund does not impact positively on its immediate past state. Inflation has positive and significant impact on market capitalization as a ratio of gross domestic product in Nigeria. Also, inflation has negative and insignificant impact on all share index as a ratio of gross domestic product in Nigeria. Pension investment at precious value is positive and as a statistically significant impact on all share index as a ratio of gross domestic product in Nigeria implying that pension fund investment could be used as purchase of share to increase the total share index in the Nigeria for future benefit for the pensioner whose contribution yields greater impact or return for stable future. The study recommended that pension fund administrators in Nigeria should understand that the rate of inflation is dynamic in Nigeria and the value of money is being lost as money is not worth its values in the next five years.

    Objective: The study examined the relationship between liquidity risk and the profitability of Nigeria's listed deposit money banks in Nigeria over a 16 years period from 2008 to 2023. Method: Panel data on cash reserve ratio, liquidity ratio, loan to deposit ratio, and return on equity were collected from the annual reports and financial statements of the five systemic banks listed on Nigerian Exchange Group from 2008-2023. Ordinary least square regression analysis, panel unit root test, Hausman test were used in analysing the data. Results: The study found a significant positive relationship between the cash reserve ratio, loan to deposit ratio and profitability of Nigerian deposit money banks. But liquidity ratio has a negative but insignificant relationship with profitability of deposit money banks in Nigeria. Conclusion: Based on the findings, the research recommends that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) must act quickly to lower cash reserve ratios in order to help Nigeria's deposits banks operate more effectively. Banks should engage competent and qualified personnel in order to ensure that right decision are adopted with regard to the optimal level of liquidity and the loan-to-deposit ratio should be fully utilized by banks to support sales initiatives.
