CORPORATE STRATEGY, ETHICS AND SUSTAINABLE VALUE CREATION IN THE NIGERIAN BANKING SECTOR
type: item
description: This conceptual paper examines the interface between corporate strategy and ethics in the pursuit of sustainable value creation among Nigerian banks. While previous studies have typically addressed these factors in isolation or emphasized short-term financial gains, this paper posits that their integration is vital for long-term profitability, brand reputation and a significant social and economic impact. The analysis is based on secondary data from academic journals, regulatory publications and industry reports and focuses on four key dimensions of market expansion strategy, competitive strategy, and transparency and compliance culture. The results show that effective strategic management not only creates value, but also improves the trust of the stakeholders, by increasing the transparency and ethical compliance by those banks. But neither can do it alone, and the combination of the two allows a sustained performance over time. The study concludes with a call on Nigerian banks to incorporate ethical considerations into their strategic decision making as a basic element for competitive advantage. The real payoffs to stakeholders, investors, customers, regulators, employees, society, come not from treating strategy and ethics as separate factors, but from this synergy.

STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE IN THE NIGERIAN TOURISM INDUSTRY
type: item
description: This conceptual paper examines the relationship between strategic management and organizational performance in the tourism industry in Nigeria. It explores the joint effects of service quality and strategic change management on organizational performance, with a special emphasis on profitability and market share. Past research has frequently examined these variables independently, with a tendency to prioritize customer satisfaction above financial results. of the organization . This study adopts a qualitative approach to address this gap, using secondary data of journal articles, textbooks and industry reports. Empirical and conceptual reviews have shown that dimensions of service quality; reliability, responsiveness, and assurance, have a significant positive impact on customer satisfaction and loyalty. Strategic change management practices such as leadership support, effective communication, employee involvement and training are seen to benefit tourism organizations in terms of operational effectiveness. The study concludes that service quality or strategic change management alone will not lead to sustainable success. What is required is the integration of the two for profitability and a strong market position. Hence, the Nigerian tourism organizations should concentrate on service delivery improvement as well as internal change processes. Managers should invest in training programmes, responsive systems and participatory strategies, whereas policy-makers should support capacity-building initiatives and infrastructure development. Finally, synergy between service quality and strategic change management is crucial for enhancing competitiveness in Nigeria’s tourism industry.

EFFECT OF STRATEGIC AGILITY, ORGANIZATIONAL RESILIENCE ON THE PERFORMANCE OF SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES IN EMERGING ECONOMIES: EVIDENCE FROM WEST AFRICA 2004 – 2024
type: item
description: This study examined the effect of strategic agility and organizational resilience on the performance of Small and Medium Enterprises in African using secondary data from 2004 to 2024. Anchored on dynamic capability theory, the research employed a panel research design and drew data from the NBS-SMEDAN MSME Survey and CAC Annual Returns. Strategic agility was measured using revenue diversification, asset reconfiguration speed, and product/service innovation intensity, while organizational resilience was proxied by financial slack, leverage stability and liquidity buffer, all extracted from audited annual reports and survey financials. With E-view software, the regression tools were used for data analysis and the findings revealed that strategic agility dimensions and organizational resilience indicators have significant positive effects on SME performance measured by return on assets. The study concludes that combining agility and resilience capabilities significantly enhances SME survival, growth and performance in volatile contexts. The paper recommended that SMEs owners must develop the adaptive capacity and financial stability to respond quickly to changes while also building the strength to withstand disruptions and also develop environmental scanning habits and flexible decision-making processes to enable quick response to market and policy changes.

ROLE OF FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF NIGERIA'S INDUSTRIAL SECTOR (2003 - 2023)
type: item
description: ROThis research work examined the role of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the development of Nigeria's industrial sector from 2003 to 2023. It focused on the impacts that foreign direct investment (FDI), interest rate (INT), and real exchange rate (REX) had on the Nigerian industrial sector, proxied by industrial output (IND). The study made use of annual time series data sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Statistical Bulletin, 2023. The unit root (ADF) and the ARDL Bounds tests were respectively used to ascertain the level of integration and the long-run relationship of the variables under consideration. The ADF result revealed a mixed order of integration, and a long-run equilibrium relationship among the variables was revealed by the Bounds test. Hence, the study proceeded to use the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model to ascertain the short-run relationship between the dependent variable (IND) and the independent variables (FDI, INT, and REX). The ARDL results revealed that in the long run, FDI and REX had a positive relationship with IND, while INT had a negative relationship. Also, the test of significance showed that FDI and INT were not significant in influencing IND, while REX was significant. In addition, the ECM (short-run) analysis showed the speed at which industrial sector output adjusted to its steady state in the long run. The speed of adjustment was 52%, which was adequate. The study concluded that foreign direct investment had a positive but insignificant effect on the industrial sector of Nigeria. For policy-making purposes, it was recommended that Nigeria should have developed its capital and financial markets to ensure the availability of venture capital and long-term finance or loans, since a developed financial sector (both money and capital markets) enhanced the capacity of host countries to take advantage of spillover effects.

THERAPEUTIC ENTREPRENEURSHIP: ANALYTICAL FEASIBILITY OF SNACKS MADE FROM LOCAL FOODSTUFFS
type: item
description: This study envisaged how therapeutic entrepreneur energized their innovation skills on analytical feasibility of snacks made from local foodstuffs (pumpkin, sweet potatoes, dates, tiger nuts, native bananas) and the implications for sustainable health amongst the elderly in Imo North, Imo State. There were five specific objectives and hypotheses. The study adopted the phases of research and development (R and D) cycle proposed by Gall, Gall and Borg. The analyses were performed using SPSS version 23 (19). Differences in means at p< 0.05 were considered significant. The formulated hypotheses were analyzed using ANOVA. Any significant level less than 0.05 was significant and accepted. But any significant level more than 0.05 was not significant and therefore rejected. Some of the findings are that the proximate compositions (moisture, protein, crude fiber, crude fat, ash, carbohydrate and gross energy values) of the samples were normal. The moisture content ranged between 25.97% and 20.85% with 20.85 (SPC 2) the lowest moisture content. The results showed no significant difference in the three samples. According to the results, PTC 1 has the highest calcium value with 9.78mgwhile NBC has the lowest calcium value at 8.92mg. The magnesium value of the samples ranged between 67.12mg (NBC 1) and 71.19mg (SPC 2) which are the lowest and highest values respectively. The sodium content of the snacks ranged between the lowest value of 170.35mg (PTC 1) and the highest value of 200.19mg (SPC 2). Among the recommendations is that the amount of water added during mixture of the flours can be reduced in order to achieve a more minimal moisture content of the when producing the snacks in order to achieve a longer lifespan for the product. This should therapeutic entrepreneur special diets to boost their energies in manhandling activities.

YOUTH EMPOWERMENT THROUGH ETHICAL AND VALUES EDUCATION FOR SUSTAINABLE NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
type: item
description: Youth empowerment through ethical and values-based education is crucial for achieving sustainable national development. As the global landscape faces challenges such as economic inequality, environmental degradation, political instability, and social unrest, the need for a well-rounded and ethically conscious generation of young people becomes increasingly urgent. This paper explores the pivotal role of ethical education in shaping responsible, innovative, and socially conscious youth who can contribute to national and global progress. Ethical and values-based education equips youth with the necessary tools to navigate complex issues, promote social cohesion, and engage in sustainable development practices. However, challenges such as inadequate access to quality education, cultural and societal barriers, and political instability hinder the full realization of youth potential. This paper also highlights strategies to overcome these obstacles, including curriculum reform, youth-led initiatives, and collaboration with civil society and international organizations. Ultimately, the paper argues that integrating ethical education into the broader educational framework not only empowers youth individually but also creates a foundation for the sustainable development of nations, ensuring a more just, equitable, and harmonious future for all.

DIGITAL DIVIDE REVISITED: A COMPREHENSIVE LITERATURE REVIEW ON THE IMPACT OF UNEQUAL ICT INFRASTRUCTURAL QUALITY ON STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES IN SCIENCE EDUCATION
type: item
description: This literature review critically examines the impact of unequal Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructural quality on student learning outcomes in science education. It focuses on core dimensions of infrastructure, including internet connectivity, device accessibility, electricity reliability, and technical support. Drawing from global meta-analyses, policy frameworks, and empirical evidence with particular attention to developing countries such as Nigeria the review underscores how deficiencies in ICT infrastructure undermine equitable access to inquiry-based, collaborative, and interactive modes of science learning. The findings reveal that while ICT integration holds transformative potential for improving engagement and achievement in science education, persistent infrastructural gaps exacerbate educational disparities and limit innovation in pedagogy. The study emphasizes the need for a holistic approach that couples infrastructural development with sustained teacher capacity building, curriculum alignment, and supportive educational policies to ensure meaningful and inclusive improvements in science learning outcomes.

BOARD COMPOSITION, CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND ADOPTION OF SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING IN NIGERIA
type: item
description: In the last decade, mounting stakeholder pressure and changing regulatory requirements have propelled a worldwide trend of incorporating sustainability into corporate governance structures. This research investigates the impact of board composition and governance practices on the uptake and quality of sustainability reporting in the Nigerian consumer goods industry. Considered an ex-post facto research design as suitable research design for the study. Data were obtained from listed consumer goods firms on the Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX) as at December 31, 2024. The choice was based on the availability of full data, using a non-probability sampling method. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, panel logistic regression, fixed and random effects models was used with the aid of Eviews 9 statistical tools. Findings reveal that firm size positively impacts sustainability reporting (β = 6.03, p < 0.01), meaning that larger firms are more transparent due to stakeholder pressure. Firm age (β = 0.106, p = 0.324) and corporate earnings performance (β = 0.840, p = 0.711) also exert positive but statistically insignificant effects. The study recommends more stringent regulatory regimes and incentive-based policies to stimulate broader acceptance. Future research should incorporate additional governance and environmental performance variables to enhance the understanding of sustainability disclosure practices.

IMPACT OF EFFECTIVE CORPORATE GOVENANCE ON THE FINANCIAL PERFRMANCE AND STABILITY OF FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS IN NIGERIA 2000 – 2023
type: item
description: Corporate governance is a key determinant of the financial performance of the various sectors in Nigeria’s economy and the financial sector is not an exception. This study examined and analysed the impact of corporate governance on the financial performance of financial institutions in Nigeria based on country aggregate level annual data from 2000 to 2023. Being a dominant player in the financial sector, ten deposit money banks were used to represent the operations in the sector hence panel data between 2000 and 2023 were extracted from the annual reports of ten (10) selected deposit money banks from various issues of the CBN Statistical Bulletin and Annual Reports, World Bank Global Financial Development Data available at data.worldbank.org. and the analysis was carried out through panel data procedures with e-view 12 statistical software. The study used Board Size (BS), Directors’ Equity Holding (DEH) and Audit Committee Size (ACS) as the explanatory variables while Return on Equity (ROE) was used as the performance index. The estimated results indicated that BS and ACS had a positive and statistically significant relationship with ROE while ACS was negatively and significantly correlated with ROE. The study concluded that corporate governance is a good predictor of financial performance in the financial institutions in Nigeria.. Among the recommendations is that there should be sound and strong internal control system within the banks that will not compromise with the prudential guideline especially in the area of lending, reporting standard and disclosure requirement

DEMOGRAPHIC FACTORS AND DEVIANT BEHAVIOR AMONG SECONDARY SCHOOLS’ STUDENTS IN SOUTHWEST NIGERIA
type: item
description: The study examined demographic factors and deviant behaviors among secondary schools’ students in south west Nigeria. The descriptive research design of the survey type was adopted for this study. The population of the study consisted 31,144 male and female students in all the public and private secondary schools in Southwest, Nigeria. The sample of this study consisted of 1890 students using multistage sampling procedure. An instrument designed by the researcher titled ‘Questionnaire on demographic factors and deviant behavior (QDFDB) was used to elicit data for this study. To ascertain the face and content validity of the instruments, copies were subjected to thorough screening by the experts. The reliability of the instrument was established through Cronbach's Alpha reliability test that yielded a reliability coefficient of 0.82, test method that was adjudged to be suitable for the study which were tested at 0.05 level of significance using Pearson Production Moment Correlation. Findings of the study revealed that gender and school location had significant relationship with deviant behavior among secondary schools’ students in Southwest Nigeria. It was recommended aong others that Irrespective of the location of schools, government should introduce and set a particular period aside for moral coaching. This would create more awareness and serve as a constant reminder to secondary schools’ students. The school should use suitable methods (such as counseling, punishment, scolding, flogging and so on) on any student that violate the rules and regulations of the school. More so, special attention should be paid to the male students in the schools since they are the ones that have tendency to deviate from the rules and regulation guiding the school.

CRISES MANAGEMENT AND CONTINGENCY PLANNING IN THE EDUCATION SECTOR
type: item
description: This study investigated crisis management and contingency planning in the education sector, focusing on the capacity of educational managers, constraints to preparedness, strategies for improvement, and implications for institutional effectiveness and continuity. A descriptive survey design was adopted, and data were collected from 120 educational managers using a structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC), and Simple Linear Regression were employed for analysis at the 0.05 significance level. Findings revealed that managers demonstrated moderate capacity in crisis management, including the existence of documented plans, crisis teams, and emergency drills. However, gaps were noted in training and confidence. Major constraints identified were inadequate funding, insufficient ICT facilities, weak policies, and poor stakeholder collaboration. Recommended strategies included regular professional development, improved funding, stronger partnerships, and ICT integration. The correlation analysis showed a significant positive relationship between crisis management capacity and institutional effectiveness (r = 0.462, p < 0.05), while regression results confirmed that crisis management significantly predicted institutional continuity (β = 0.462, p < 0.05). The study concludes that strengthening crisis management frameworks is essential for enhancing resilience, reducing disruptions, and ensuring continuity in schools during emergencies.

type: item
description: This study examined psychological traits and entrepreneurial skills as determinants of vocational business intention among business education undergraduate students in Ogun State-owned universities. The objectives were to: examine the relationship between psychological traits and entrepreneurial intentions;determine the relationship between entrepreneurial skills and entrepreneurial intentions; and investigate the difference between male and female entrepreneurial intentions of business education undergraduate students. A descriptive survey research design was adopted. The population comprised all business education students in Ogun State-owned universities, while a sample of 1,000 students across 100 to 400 levels was selected using simple random sampling. A structured questionnaire was employed for data collection. Three hypotheses guided the study and data were analyzed using regression, Pearson Product Moment Correlation, and independent t-test at 0.05 significance level. Findings revealed that psychological traits had a significant relationship with entrepreneurial intentions of business education students. Similarly, entrepreneurial skills significantly influenced students’ entrepreneurial intentions. However, there was no significant difference between male and female students’ entrepreneurial intentions. The study concluded that both psychological traits and entrepreneurial skills are critical determinants of vocational business intentions among business education undergraduate students. It was therefore recommended that universities should create enabling environments that promote entrepreneurial skills acquisition, while also offering mentorship and training programs to build students’ confidence, resilience, and creativity. Students should also be encouraged to participate actively in entrepreneurship workshops and training in order to enhance their vocational intentions and future career opportunities.

IMPACT OF CLOUD-BASED ACCOUNTING SOFTWARE ON FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT EFFICIENCY IN SMALL FIRM BUSINESSES IN PORT HARCOURT
type: item
description: This study examined the impact of cloud-based accounting software on financial management efficiency among small firm businesses in Port Harcourt. Guided by two objectives, the research examined the concept and operational features of cloud-based accounting software in small firm contexts, and to identify the benefits and challenges associated with its adoption. Anchored on the Diffusion of Innovations Theory, the study adopted a descriptive survey design and collected data from 88 respondents drawn from accounting and finance units of small firms in Port Harcourt. Structured questionnaires served as the primary data collection instrument, and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression. The findings revealed that cloud-based accounting software significantly enhanced financial management efficiency through improved accuracy, timeliness, and accessibility, with accuracy showing the highest positive influence. Specifically, 78% of respondents indicated that the software reduced manual errors, 74% reported improved collaboration with accountants, and 69% stated that it facilitated real-time decision-making. However, adoption was hindered by poor internet connectivity, high subscription costs, low ICT literacy, and data security concerns. The study concluded that while cloud accounting offered transformative potential for small firms in Port Harcourt, infrastructural, financial, and knowledge-related challenges needed to be addressed for optimal utilization. It recommended targeted digital literacy training, affordable subscription models, improved internet infrastructure, and localized solutions tailored to the Nigerian business environment. This research contributed to knowledge by providing empirical evidence linking the operational features of cloud-based accounting software to measurable improvements in financial management efficiency within small businesses in Port Harcourt.

NIGERIA'S TAX STRUCTURE: AN ECONOMETRIC ASSESSMENT OF TAX PERFORMANCE AND ECONOMIC GROWTH DYNAMICS 2010-2023
type: item
description: This study presents a comprehensive econometric analysis of Nigeria’s tax structure between 2010 and 2023, with particular focus on growth patterns, economic contributions, revenue relationships, and performance elasticities across six major tax categories. Drawing on secondary data obtained from the Central Bank of Nigeria, the research employs time series regression using the EViews statistical package to test the formulated hypotheses. The findings reveal that Company Income Tax (CIT) and Value Added Tax (VAT) exhibit strong and consistent associations with economic growth and revenue, supported by stable growth trajectories. In contrast, Petroleum Profit Tax (PPT) demonstrates volatility, weak links with growth, and low responsiveness, although it continues to contribute significantly to government revenue. Personal Income Tax is also shown to maintain a notable connection with real GDP in combined models. Overall, the results underscore the pivotal role of non-oil taxes, particularly CIT and VAT, in strengthening Nigeria’s economic resilience, while PPT’s instability highlights the vulnerabilities of oil dependence. The study recommends a strategic shift towards diversifying the tax base away from oil, enhancing the administration of CIT and VAT, addressing PPT volatility, and leveraging digital technologies to improve tax collection efficiency. Such measures will strengthen compliance, ensure fiscal stability, and support long-term sustainable growth.

MASSIFICATION AND INTERNATIONALIZATION OF HIGHER EDUCATION: PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS
type: item
description: The contemporary landscape of higher education is characterized by a dual phenomenon: massification and internationalization. Massification refers to the expansion of higher education access to a broader demographic, while internationalization signifies the integration of an international, intercultural, or global dimension into the purpose, functions, and delivery of post-secondary education. The contemporaneous phenomena of massification and internationalization have transformed the higher education landscape, precipitating a myriad of complexities and opportunities. This paper seeks to elucidate the intricate interplay between these two paradigms, exploring the concomitant challenges and opportunities that arise within this educational milieu. By examining the implications of massification and internationalization on institutional practices, educational quality, and socio-economic factors, this discourse endeavors to provide a comprehensive understanding of the evolving dynamics in higher education. It provides a critical examination of the concomitant problems and prospects arising from these twin trends, with a particular focus on their implications for academic quality, cultural diversity, and economic. There should be Institutional Capacity Building, Investing in infrastructure and human resources to ensure academic quality and responsiveness to diverse student needs. In conclusion, the massification and internationalization of higher education present a complex paradox, replete with both problems and prospects as institutions navigate these twin trends.
