Corporate governance attributes and financial performance of listed consumer goods companies in Nigeria
(International Journal of Financial Management and Economics, 2022-02-02) Sani Abdul Rahman Bala; Muhammad Yunusa Salisu; Mohammed Auwal Babangida
This study examined the influence of Corporate Governance Attributes (CGA) on the Financial Performance (FP) of listed Consumer Goods Companies (CGCs) in Nigeria. The objectives were to provide empirical evidence of the influence of Corporate Governance Attributes, proxied by Board Size (BS), Board Independence (BI), and Gender Diversity (GD) on the Dependent variable, Financial Performance (FP), proxied by Return on Assets (ROA), which is widely accepted to show the actual result of profitability in many firms. The study employed a longitudinal research design. A sample of five (5) companies was randomly selected from the population of thirty-five (35) listed CGCs in Nigeria as of 2020. Data was collected from the audited annual accounts and reports of the sampled firms. The study further employed multiple regression techniques to explain and test the data elicited. The statistical result for the variables shows weak FP among the sampled firms, implying that the selected firms reported a low return on assets during the period under consideration. Specifically, BI exerts a significant influence, while GD exerts a negative significant influence on ROA. However, BS reveals a negative and insignificant influence on the ROA of the CGCs in Nigeria. Deducing from the statistics, it can be observed that CEOs of CGCs in Nigeria are carefree with corporate attributes. There is a need for the CEOs and equity owners of the companies to review the fundamental demographic features of the CGCs to improve the quality of decision-making. Specifically, including the number of female directors in their board membership.

The population of the study consisted of twenty (20) insurance firms listed on the floor of the Nigerian Stock Exchange as of 30th September 2021 covering the periods of 2014 to 2019. The sample size of the study is made up of seven (7) insurance and assurance companies in Nigeria. A simple random sampling technique was employed in selecting the sample size of the study. The study used GLS random-effects regression method to analyze the data of the study. The outcome of the study revealed that the capital adequacy ratio is the major factor that influences the financial performance of quoted insurance firms in Nigeria. The study finally recommended that management of quoted insurance firms in Nigeria should offer their shares to the general public for subscription, this will, in turn, increase their capital/ income, and the outcome would be an investment in viable assets and this will enhance the financial performance in the long run.

This study assessed the role of gender, self-efficacy, and resilience on marital adjustments of employees at the Federal University Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria. The study utilised the ex-post facto research design. The population of the study consisted of all employees at the Federal University Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria. The simple and purposive sampling techniques were used in selecting 106 employees as the study’s sample. An instrument tagged “Self-Efficacy, Resilience and Marital Adjustment Questionnaire” was used in collecting data for the study, with α= 0.81, 0.84, and 0.86 respectively for the instrument’s sub-sections. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis at a 5% significance level. Findings indicate high levels of self-efficacy, resilience, and marital adjustments among the sampled employees, and that employees' gender and self-efficacy play a significant role in their marital adjustment levels; yet, employees’ resilience played no significant role (contrasting findings of prior research; Ahmad & Jahangir, 2020; Cihan & Aydogan, 2020; Khalaf &AL-Hadrawi, 2022; İlmen & Sürücü, 2022), that found a significant association between resilience and marital adjustment). The study recommends that efforts, especially professional development programmes, and capacity-building workshops, aimed at fostering employees' self-efficacy be made available to employees of the university, counselling units established in all faculties of the university, and employees (both male and female) be advised and encouraged to attend at least one or two counselling sessions every month to foster their marital adjustments cum satisfaction.

Influence of School Climate, Collective Efficacy and School Engagement on School Connectedness of in-School Adolescents in Ibadan North, Oyo State, Nigeria.
(FUOYE Journal of Criminology and Security Studies (IJCSS), 2024-06-06) Okere, Adebisi Victory; Adaramoye, T. O.; Ekemezie, E. C; Olawole, A. O.
This research aims to investigate the interplay between school climate, collective efficacy, school engagement, and their combined influence on school connectedness among in-school adolescents in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. This study utilized a descriptive research design of correlational type to examine the relationships and predictive power of these variables. The sample consists of 400 secondary school students randomly selected in Ibadan metropolis, Oyo State. Standardized instruments were administered to the participants. Three research questions were raised. Descriptive statistics, Pearson product moment correlation and multiple regression model were used to analyse the data collected. The outcome showed that the three predictor variables together were responsible for 58% of the variance in the total (F(3,396) = 813.471; R= .747; R2= .558; Adj. R2=.543; P<0.05). Also, each of the three independent variables made separate and distinct contributions to the prediction of school connectedness: school climate (β=.074; t=1.002, P<0.05); collective efficacy (β=.498; t=-6.561, P<0.05); school engagement (β= .710; t= 9.490, P<0.05). This study's three independent variables have sufficient potential to influence school connectedness. The study recommends a serene school environment, enhance teacher’s self efficacy, and encourage student engagement and connectivity.

An Assessment of Vehicular Traffic Congestion along Abuja-Nasarawa Road with Emphasis on Karu bridge to A.Y.A. Interchange
(Department of Civil Engineering, Nile University of Nigeria Abuja Nigeria., 2024-04-23) Aluya, L.E; Abubakar Dayyabu; Muoka Anthony
Transportation is integral to societal connectivity and economic growth, with road transportation being a predominant mode globally. Traffic congestion poses a substantial challenge to efficient road transportation, impacting travel times, fuel consumption, and overall productivity. The Abuja-Nasarawa Road, a critical transportation corridor in the Federal Capital Territory, faces persistent congestion issues attributed to factors such as increased vehicle numbers, inadequate infrastructure, and poor traffic management. The escalating traffic congestion along Abuja-Nasarawa Road adversely affects the region's productivity and economic development. This study aims to analyze the traffic congestion along the Abuja Nasarawa Road to improve decision-making regarding road use and transportation system planning. The research design combines qualitative and quantitative methods, utilizing a questionnaire and traffic data collection. The study focused on the A.Y.A Interchange – Karu bridge section of the road, a critical stretch facing congestion issues. The methodology involved traffic data collection, including vehicle counts, traffic volumes, and average speeds. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS software. Results indicate varying traffic flow rates during morning and evening peak hours. Karu bridge experienced the highest traffic congestion, with a flow rate of 5433 vehicles per hour in the morning. The qualitative analysis revealed the distribution of road users. The findings also revealed a prevalence of traffic congestion attributed to the concentration of economic activities in the Federal Capital City (FCC), leading to increased commuter influx. This study provides a valuable resource for future urban planning initiatives and highlights the need for comprehensive solutions to solve the region’s complex traffic congestion problems and recommends measures such as maintaining and expanding the road network, introducing alternative transportation like a railway service, and completing alternative routes such as the Apo-Karshi Road.
