...knowledge, skills and the capacities of people in the country, the possibility of sustainable development might be minimal. Investment in the human resource determines the type, quality, availability and productivity of the nation’s manpower. It involves the socio-economic development strategies (European Commission, 2007) critically needed to facilitate sustainable development. One major challenge facing Nigeria as a nation within the global community, is how to achieve sustainable development. According to the IMF (2002), sustainable development is made of three pillars. They are economic development, social development and environmental development. The essence of these pillars are to maintain and enhance the capacity and capability of future generations while meeting the needs of the present generation. To accomplish these multi-dimensional tasks, human capital should be strategically cultivated and positioned for the preservation of both the present and the future economic growth and development of a nation. Thus, according to Lyakurwa (2007) human capital development has the capacity to enlarge people’s choices and opportunities, improve healthy living through acquired skills and knowledge and eventually facilitate sustainable development through increased productivity. Nonetheless, it is important to note that sustainable development need not lose sight of the human...

Short Payback Period. Low Farm Productivity. Employment Generation. Loan Recovery Strategies ABSTRACT This study examined farmers’ perception of repayment of loans in Ogun State, Nigeria. A multi-staged sampling technique was used to select 120 respondents for the study. Descriptive and Pearson Moment Correlation Statistics were used to analyze the data. Results showed that loan beneficiaries were mostly youth. Majority (74.8%) disagreed with the loan payback period of 7-12 months while 74.2% of the farmers perceived loans as grant (not payable). A significant and inverse relationship exist between interest rate (r = -.151; p ≤ 0.05), low farm output (r = -.113; p ≤ 0.05) and loan repayment; a linear relationship exists between age of farmers (r = .715; p ≤ 0.05) and loan repayment. The loans have the potential to create employment in the rural areas. Youth with repayment capability should be given priority in the issuance of loans to farmers. Officials of Bank of Agriculture should strengthen loan recovery strategies. INTRODUCTION Background to the Study Nigeria is faced with the...

...or understood. We hear and read about the word development in our everyday life, but the truth is development or national development, just like other concepts and phenomena can be better understood when it is experienced. Most of us in Nigeria undoubtedly have not experienced development of a nation or country. Perhaps, the few lucky ones who had travelled out either for pleasure or business to other developed countries will have a clue of what development is all about. To set the ball rolling, plethora of economists have bombarded us with different definitions of development of which I would not want to weary you with. However, to give us a closer feel of what Economic development is, the definition by Michael Todaro is singled out to do justice to that. The definition of economic development given by Michael Todaro is an increase in living standards, improvement in self-esteem needs and freedom from oppression as well as a greater choice. The most accurate method of measuring development according to him is the Human Development Index which takes into account the literacy rates & life expectancy which affects productivity and could lead to Economic Growth. It also leads to the creation of more opportunities in the sectors of education, healthcare, employment and the conservation of the environment. It implies an increase in the per capita income of every citizen. Development however is concerned with sustainability which means meeting the needs of the present without...

...SOCIAL CULTURAL FACTORS THAT MAKE NIGERIA A LESS DEVELOPED COUNTRY. 1. Discrimination: Sometimes there are social or cultural factors that hold back Nigeria. Discrimination is one of these. If there are certain people groups that are discriminated against, the country’s overall productivity can suffer. This may be a tribe, a caste, a racial category or minority language group. In Nigeria a high level of discrimination exist which has hindered Nigeria’s development. These include: I) RELIGION: in Nigeria a major religious discrimination is that between the Christians and Muslims. Every day crises in different parts of the country most especially in the north, Christians are killed every day, bombs are planted in places of worship which destroys structures, leads to land, air, and water pollution; all these are as a result of difference in belief and doctrines. All these hinder the development of Nigeria as a country. II) ETHNIC GROUPS: Nigeria as a country is blessed with different ethnic groups which incorporates different cultures. The difference in language, cultures and beliefs leads to discrimination. III) SOCIAL STATUS: in Nigeria the discrimination between the rich and the poor ones has been one of the major cause of discrimination, the rich don’t always want to associate with the poor talk less of helping the poor, therefore the rich will remain richer while the poor will continue to be poor when this happens there would be an extreme case of continuous poverty...

...effect of training and manpower development on employee’s productivity and organization performance has attracted considerable interest in the analytical and empirical literature. On the whole, human resources management theory has paid considerable attention to this debate; however, the theoretical predictions are ambiguous. Depending on their underlying assumptions, some approaches predict that the performance of an organization is necessarily based on innovative labour force, technology, quality management, and customer satisfaction; while others see training as a tool in the hands of human resources managers to activate and empower the productive base of an organization (Dhamodharan, 2010). Barron and Hagerty (2001) asserted that employee training and manpower development is very vital to job productivity and organization performance, since the formal educational system does not adequately provide specific job skills for a position in a particular organization. While, few individuals may have the requisite skills, knowledge, abilities and competencies needed to fit into a specific job function, some others may require extensive training to acquire the necessary skills to be able to fit in a specific job function and also make significant contribution to the organization’s performance. Guest (2007) asserted that human capital theory provides evidence which indicates that training and education raises the productivity of workers by imparting useful knowledge and skills, hence...

...1. Introduction Nigeria nation’s population increased faster over time but determining the country’s figure has always bring issues since independence due to some reasons such as fear of domination by other ethnic groups, revenue allocation, religious and politics. However available statistics shows overall people in Nigeria were estimated 178.52 million persons in 2015 from 45.2 million in 1960 which indicates an increase 395 per cent in the last fifty years (NBS, 2015). The overall figures of the nation indicate 2.35 percent of the world’s total figures which invariably shows that a person in every 43 human being on the earth surface is a citizen of Nigeria. The country’s population figure has been described as youthful in which about 44 percent of Nigerians were the age 15 as at 2004 which indicates high dependence ration. The high fertility rate which led to having high number of young persons who are future parents constitutes an unstoppable momentum for growth is built into mainstream of the population. This has a lot of implications on quality of life, resources available for social services including education, health as well as economic growth and employment opportunity. In response of the challenges posed by Nigeria rapid population, the need for preventive check as postulated by Robert Malthus (1882) arose in order to ensure balance population growth and available resources and this necessitated her participation in international gatherings.

Ogun – State, Nigeria. Email: obasankehinde@yahoo.com ABSTRACT A wide divergence of opinion exists on the source and effect of conflicts on corporate productivity and the effectiveness of the various strategies available for managing them. It has been argued by some that conflicts are signs of a vibrant organization while others contend it is destructive and capable of retarding stability and profitability of organizations. Using a student t distribution to test the significance of response and purposive sampling technique to administer a self-design questionnaires to 50 respondents cutting across all cadres of staff of First Bank of Nigeria Plc.,(Lagos Branch), revealed that the main sources of conflict in the organization relate to perception and value problems.

Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that strategies which promote industrial democracy should be chosen by management as the preferred option in dispute resolution. In addition, the ideal level of conflict resolution required to attain...

...CHALLENGES IN NORTHERN NIGERIA: THE WAY FORWARD A position paper submitted to Northern Delegates at the National Conference Abuja By Yusuf Abdullahi Rigasa (PhD) yusuf.rigasa@gmail.com An Associate Chief Lecturer at the Department of Environmental Science Kaduna Polytechnic, currently on secondment to National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency, NOSDRA, Federal Ministry of Environment Abuja. 2014 Introduction Northern Nigeria was a British protectorate which lasted from 1900 until 1914 and covered the northern part of what is now Nigeria. The protectorate spanned 255,000 miles (410,000 km) and included the states of the Sokoto Caliphate and the Kano emirate and parts of the former Bornu Empire, conquered in 1902. The protectorate was ended in 1914, when it was unified with Southern Nigerian Protectorate and Lagos Colony, to become Northern Province of the colony and protectorate of Nigeria or the Northern region. The Northern Region was one of Nigeria's federating units. It was created before independence in 1960, with its capital at Kaduna. In 1962, it acquired the territory of the British Northern Cameroons, who voted to become part of Nigeria. In 1967 the region was split into states - Benue-Plateau State, Kano State, Kwara State, North-Central State, North-Eastern State and North-Western State. Currently, the region comprises of 19 states and Federal Capital Territory Abuja. The climatic conditions in the northern part of Nigeria exhibit only two different...
