Dr. Solomon Kipyego Ngetich – August 2020 Page No.: 01-07
Given the rising cost of education, there has been a growing consensus of establishing Day Secondary School to provide school places for the increasing number of learners joining secondary level of education. Day schools have been associated to low performance at the national examinations. This study compares academic performance of learners in Day Secondary Schools and those in Boarding Secondary Schools in Nandi County, Kenya. This study was guided by Cost Function derived from the Education Production Function theory. This study employed a cross-sectional survey as a research strategy. This study targeted all the principals in 186 public secondary schools in the Nandi County. It employed stratified random sampling so as to achieve representation from the school types. The sample size was determined by use of the published table by Krejcie and Morgan. Questionnaire and document analysis were the main instrument of data collection. A pilot study was used in determining the reliability while validity of the research tool was achieved through a carefully and critically examination of the instruments by experienced team of supervisors. Data was analyzed using frequency, means, range, percentages and t-test. It was found out that, academic performance for the period (2012-2015), recorded an average mean of 7.1184 and 4.7391 for Boarding and Day secondary schools respectively. This study found out that, there was a significant difference in academic performance between Boarding and Day secondary schools (t(121) = 9.990, p = 0.000); The findings of this study will generate ideas for better and more resourceful cost management in secondary schools, which is useful for policy makers and managers in education sector. The study makes recommendation that, there is need to improve effectiveness and efficiency of school management, effectively utilize monetary resource, appropriately allocate resources and practice prudence in financial management.

The Punishments Imposed on Non-Muslims in Islamic History are an Obstacle to Contemporary Social Harmony – A Review
Ahamed Sarjoon Razick, Muhammadhu Ibrahim Nasrin – August 2020 Page No.: 08-13
Misconceptions about Islam are prevalent in many parts of the world today, including among non-Muslims. There is a widespread perception that not only Islam but also Muslims are seen as a threat to other people who do not openly view Islamic legal plans and try to seek their authenticity. Many who view it superficially accuse some of the punishments meted out to non-Muslims by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in Islamic history as unjust and very cruel. Some Muslims living in Sri Lanka are also subject to that view. It is in this context that the present study pursued to dispel misconceptions about Islam by illustrating the justification given by the Prophet to the Banu Qurayza-Jewish tribe. This review was based on a descriptive methodology from previously published books and journal articles on the subject. This review clearly described the ways in which the Jewish tribes living in Medina, such as Banu Qaynuqa, Banu Nazir, and Banu Qurayza, deviated from the treaty made in Medina by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and how the punishments were meted out to them by the Prophet. Further, the relevant punitive method was analyzed and the rationale contained therein was revealed. It was discussed that the punishments meted out by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) were in no way an impediment to the reconciliation of Sri Lanka among the communities living there. It is hoped that this review will help to bring about a just and harmonious life for all the people of Sri Lanka by presenting the rationale of the penalties.

Evaluation of the Use of Library Resources and Services in the Nigerian Navy Secondary Schools in Western Nigeria
Ogbonnaya, Esther Abosede PhD – August 2020 – Page No.: 14-29
Purpose: The Nigeria educational system is toeing the line of the international trends, where the emphasis has now shifted from traditional pupil-teacher interaction to the scientific approach of teaching (self-discovery) that is child-centered. Thus, changes in roles and objectives are expected of the school library system. This study examined the evaluation of the use of library resources and services in the Nigerian Navy Secondary Schools in Western Nigeria. The purposes of this research were to: ascertain how relevant and adequate the library resources and services to the academic performance of students are, identify factors influencing the use of library resources and services in the selected schools and proffer solutions to them.
Methodology: Four research questions guided the study. The descriptive survey research design and inferential statistical method of analyses were adopted for the study. The sample population of the study was drawn from Nigerian Navy Secondary School (NNSS) Ojo – Lagos and NNSS Abeokuta made up of students and teachers. A total of 1910 respondents consist of 1733 students and 177 teachers. The instruments for data collection were the questionnaire semi-structured interviews, an examination of library acquisition records, and personal observation. The data were analyzed were using frequency, percentage, bar, and pie charts.
Findings: The results revealed that the library resources and services available are inadequate and the degree of usage is poor in both schools. Six major challenges were identified by respondents in the two schools as factors influencing the use of Library resources and services. These are the inadequate fund, lack of standard school library buildings, among others. The respondents proffered six major solutions to mitigate the challenges of the use of library resources and services in the study. These are the provision of sufficient funds for library management, staff training, and the construction of fully furnished standard library buildings.
Implications: From the findings, the school libraries in the study would not be able to achieve the basic goals of the school library which include promoting love for learning and supporting the school curricular if the proffered solutions are not implemented.
Originality/Value: This research has not been published in any journal before. Its originality lies in its ability to enable the school management to fully embrace the use of library resources and services to promote literacy development

Security Sector Reform and Its Implications for Conflict Areas in Indonesia
Muhammad Ibnu Kamil, Dr. Anggi Aulina Harahap, Dipl. Soz, Dr. Benny Jozua Mamoto, SH, M.Si – August 2020 – Page No.: 36-40
The shift in security operations from the military to the police indicates restrictions on the use of force by the military. Under the new Indonesian security law, the police are responsible for security while the military is responsible for defending the country. In this paper, further analysis will be carried out on the implications of this shift in responsibility for conflict areas in Indonesia. From the results of the study it was found that security sector reform in Indonesia provides a comprehensive framework for resolution of security issues, such as law enforcement, protection of civil rights with the need to carry out institutional and internal reforms within the TNI, the National Police, intelligence agencies, and civilian institutions that are responsible responsible for overseeing the security institutions. From these reforms in conflict areas it seems that many are still controlled by the TNI and there is a shift in the image between the Police and the TNI in the public eye.

I. INTRODUCTION
The natural condition of the country of Indonesia which has a tropical climate makes this country a country that is very suitable for planting a variety of plants. Unlike in other countries which can only be planted by a few plants, Indonesia’s tropical climate conditions also have very fertile soil so that it is suitable for planting a variety of plants. With these conditions, this country should be able to make good use of its natural wealth and fertile land that can be used as capital to make this country a very developed country, even defeat the countries in Europe and even America. With a description of Indonesia there should be no reason for Indonesia is difficult to advance.
Considering the condition of Indonesia, where there are abundant natural resources, the reality that is happening now is very different. It can be seen that Indonesia is still a developing country with a very high social inequality between its people. The uneven development carried out by the government is increasingly showing the country’s social inequality. In fact, there are still many people of Indonesia who still live below the poverty line. Such conditions make many of the Indonesian people who cannot feel the school bench caused by poverty is a lot of young Indonesian people who actually they even go down to become buskers or just begging on the streets waiting for the mercy of people.

Reoccurring Farmers-Herders Conflict in Nigeria: Political and Socio-Economic Implications of Herders Attacks on Farmers in Uzo-Uwani Communities of Enugu State
Boris Happy Odalonu – August 2020 Page No.: 54-62
The study examined the political and socio-economic effects of farmers-herders conflict in Nigeria with particular reference to Uzo-Uwani local Government Area of Enugu. The study was anchored on climate change theory and survey research design was adopted for the study. The primary data for the study was generated through structured questionnaire and in depth interview. Eight communities that were affected by the conflicts were purposively sampled. The study revealed that the immediate causes of the conflict were destruction of farmlands, contamination of streams by the herders’ cattle and killing of cattle by farmers. The remote causes include competition for land and water resources and government ineffective environmental policy. The conflicts led to loss of lives, loss of houses and other properties and loss of crops, loss of cattle, reduction in food and animal production by both farmers and herder, displacement of farmers and rise in tension and volatile inter-group relations amongst the farmers and herders. The study recommended that conflict resolution mechanism should be established in those communities that are prone to herders-farmers clashes, there should be an established database of Fulani herdsmen in order to identify the herders in every community across the country, there should be sensitization of the farmers and herdsmen on peaceful co-existence and cooperation.

Public Perceptions on the Impacts of Proliferation of Churches on Corruption in Benue State, Nigeria: an Insight of Makurdi Metropolis of Benue State, Nigeria
Iorkosu, Tyover Samuel, Emmanuel Verem Orjime, Donald, Tarfa Ende, Benedict, Terkaa Iornyagh, Iyorwuese, Salem I – August 2020 Page No.: 63-71
The proliferation of churches that accompanied by the high level of corruption in Nigeria has attracted a good level of attention. Statistics show that about 72.3 million Nigerian are Christians. Going by this figure, the church indeed wields enormous potential in its followers and in turn stems corruption across the nation. The tenacious preference of corruption, however, suggests that it has not played its responsibility in this regard effectively. In other to investigate this fact; the oral interview and questionnaire were used. A sample size of 400 respondents was drawn from Makurdi town following the Yamane’s formula. The analysis of the data revealed that the proliferation of churches in Benue state, has, seemingly, not translated to a drastic reduction of corruption. Additionally, despite the proliferation of churches in Makurdi metropolis, corruption and other deviant behaviour were relatively high. Based on these findings, it was recommended among others that corruption in the churches should be checked and those leaders involved in corrupt activities should be prosecuted accordingly. Church leaders should not focus their preaching on prosperity but on hard work and corrupt-free society.

Ethics and Professionalism; the Current Challenges for Nigerian Banks
Okere Peter. A Phd, Njoku Gospel O, Okere, Cletus O – August 2020 Page No.: 72-77
The main objective of this study is to address the importance of ethics and professionalism in the banking industry in Nigeria more especially in this period of COVID-19 and also address the consequences of unethical and sharp practices in the banking industry. Banks in the modern day world, play an intermediary role between the deficit economic units and surplus economic units of the society, executing savings and investment functions. The protection of the rights and interests of numerous stakeholders is sine quo non for banking sector stability and the requirement for economic development and therefore, banks are expected to ethically pursue their operations in compliance with the principles of integrity, impartiality, reliability, transparency, social responsibility and denounce unethical and unprofessional practices. It is therefore recommended that the Central Bank of Nigeria should ensure tougher disciplinary measures against any erring bank staff as this could go a long way to further mitigate the rising trends of unethical and unprofessional practices in the Nigerian banking sector. The Institute of Bankers should also enforce full compliance of the Institute professional code of conduct in the banking industry in Nigeria.

Ethical Sensitivity and Sustainable Performance of SMEs: Empirical Evidence from Nigeria

Regardless of the relevance of sustainability practices to business organisation, literature indicates very few studies have attempted to investigate the effect of ethical sensitivity on the sustainability of small and medium enterprise (SMEs), mainly the relationship between ethical sensitivity and sustainable performance of SMEs. The literature suggests that there is not only limited information on the Sustainable Performance of SMEs in Nigeria but also little research in this important area of study. By using structural questionnaires, the data for the study were collected from 288 SMEs in Nigeria. The findings of the study indicate a significant positive relationship between ethical sensitivity and sustainable performance of SMEs. The result of the study seems to demonstrate that the practice of ethical sensitivity in SMEs will not only be to improve their economic performance but also to increase both environment and social performance as well.

Impact of Entrepreneurship Education on Job Intentions of Polytechnic Students in Nigeria
Adewoyin Victor A, Famule Festus D.- August 2020 Page No.: 88-95
The Nigeria State through the regulatory bodies for Polytechnics and Universities namely National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) and National Universities Commission (NUC) has made Entrepreneurship Education (EE) compulsory for Nigerian undergraduates from 2007/2008 academic session. This is to make them job creators rather than job seekers after graduation. About decade after the commencement, there is a need to assess the impact on both final years National Diploma (ND) Higher National Diploma (HND) students of the polytechnic system. There is yet no sufficient empirical evidence to suggest that EE has direct and positive impact on their self-employment intentions and drive. Fundamentally, Polytechnic education by design and rationale is expected to train and equip graduates with the requisites skill to be self-employed. This study is therefore on the impact that Entrepreneurship Education (EE) is having on Entrepreneurial outcome. The authors aim at investigating students’ attitude towards Entrepreneurship Education (EE) and the perceived influence that various Entrepreneurship Education (EE) courses can have on a cohort of final year National Diploma (ND) and Higher National Diploma (HND) students in Nigerian Polytechnics starting with three (3) Polytechnics (both State and Federal Government owned) situated in Oyo, Ondo and Ekiti states of the Western Region of Nigeria in the first instance, and subsequently in other three states; Osun, Ogun and Lagos states of the region. The other geopolitical zones will follow later. The target beneficiaries for this study include entrepreneurship educators, researchers and EE decision-makers like regulatory agencies (e.g. NBTE), National Council on Education), institutional academic boards, donor agencies etc. It was found generally in the study empirically that more than enough evidence has suggested that EE has positive impact on job intentions of students in Nigerian Polytechnics and Colleges of Technology.

Architects’ Perception of Acid Rain: The Need for Reprioritising Design Values in Studio Pedagogy
Peter O. Adewale, Oyebimpe A. Adebiyi & Abimbola A. Adebayo – August 2020 Page No.: 96-102
One of the major issues that constitute threat to the international peace, security and continued human existence is environmental degradation. Reports are presented annually about the increasing depletion and pollution of the natural environment by virtually all forms of developmental activities. Among the preponderant negative consequences of these activities is the issue of acid rain deposition, flooding and overheating. While literature is replete with the challenges some of these phenomena pose to architects, little or no attention has been given to the issue of acid rain which has been found to have deleterious effects on buildings. The aim of this paper, therefore, is to determine the level of awareness, perception and responses of architect to this challenge, using Lagos Metropolis as an empirical focus. Data were obtained through structured questionnaire administered on 157 randomly selected practicing architects in Lagos, Nigeria. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data. The results were further subjected to Linear Regression Analysis. The findings revealed high level of awareness of acid rain among the architects who also feel concerned about phenomenon. Their response to the adaptation and mitigation of the phenomenon was however, very low. The paper establishes architectural design values as one of the major contributors to this behaviour. It concludes by suggesting the need to update architectural education and theories to include climate responsive pedagogies in the learning process.

Due to the openness of education and the open economic pattern in the Sri Lankan society, the social status of the woman in the traditional society has changed drastically – resulting in the woman becoming a homemaker and becoming a professional worker. According to the Central Bank Annual Report, women’s employment increased from 32-9% in 2012 to 35-6% in 2013 – the most significant increase in employment for women is the increasing number of women seeking employment Moving.

Sustainability of Donor Funded Projects in Public Hospitals in Kenya: A Case of HIV/Aids Projects at “N” County Referral Hospital
Dr. John Cheluget (MUA), Ngari Caroline Wamuyu (MUA) – August 2020 Page No.: 140-150
The research project sought to investigate factors influencing sustainability of donor funded projects in public hospitals in Kenya; a case of HIV/AIDS projects at “N” County Referral Hospital. Project sustainability is one of the most critical challenges for all grassroots, national and international development agencies. The study objective was to evaluate how leadership, funds, capacity building, and stakeholder’s involvement can influence the sustainability of donor funded projects in public hospitals. The study provided an in-depth literature review and analysis based on the research objectives, identification of the theories applicable to this study, and the conceptual framework. The target population for this study was 137 employees from the HIV/AIDS projects funded at “N” County Referral Hospital. A census of 137 respondents was done since the target population was relatively small and therefore the need for sampling from it was overlooked. The researcher obtained a permit from National Council for Science and Technology based on authorization letter from The Management University of Africa. The researcher paid a visit to the area of study and made appointments with the target population where data was collected. A pilot survey was done before conducting the main data collection exercise and the reliability and consistency of the research instrument was assessed using the Cronbach Alpha scores obtained from the pilot study respondents. The study relied on primary data where questionnaire was used to collect the data. Data was then analysed using descriptive analysis such as descriptive statistics mean scores and standard deviations, frequencies distributions, and percentages. The relationship between the dependent and independent variables were assessed using linear regression. The findings of the study established that source of funds and stakeholder involvement significantly influenced project sustainability. Further, the study found that capacity building, leadership and government policy did not significantly influenced project sustainability. When all the variables were regressed collectively a model was generated that was fit for prediction of project sustainability. The study therefore reached a conclusion that involving stakeholders at all stages of the process and ensuring adequate funds are available for the project contributes greatly to the success of the project. The study recommends that an evaluation of capacity building and training needs assessment should be conducted in both rural and urban hospital settings in Kenya and an evaluation of the impact of leadership on the project sustainability should be evaluated within a wider geographical scope.

Competencies of Public Primary School Head Teachers in the Management of School Nutrition and Meals Programme at the ECDE Centres in Bungoma South Sub-County
Claartje Nekoye Wakhungu, Onex David Opati – August 2020 Page No.: 151-155
Provision of essential nutrition, shelter, and health care for children is enshrined in the Kenyan constitution. Notwithstanding the efforts by the government to improve the livelihoods of its citizens, under-nutrition remains prevalent among children under the age of 5years which has made the children prone to early childhood diseases that impede academic achievement and sometimes lead to premature death. As the pivots around which all school activities revolve, head teachers are responsible for the management of school nutrition and meals programme of children at school. The main purpose of the study was to analyse the core competencies of public primary school head teachers regarding the management of school nutrition and meals programme at the ECDE Centres. The respondents in the study included one head teacher and one ECDE teacher from a randomly selected sample size of 73 schools. Key informants were selected purposively. The data collection strategy involved the use of structured questionnaires and interview schedules. The results indicated that 32.9% of the ECDE teachers claimed that head teachers supervised the school nutrition and meals programme at the ECDE centres, while 67.1% alleged that head teachers rarely managed the programme. Notably, 9.6% of the head teachers agreed that they had basic knowledge of the existing government policies concerning school nutrition and meals programme, while 90.4% of them did not have basic knowledge on the same. Furthermore, the study revealed that lack of effective evaluation and monitoring mechanism and inadequate funding was the primary challenge to the implementation and sustenance of the programme. The study recommends adequate support from the government through the provision of funds sufficient to support the school nutrition and meals programme. The government should empower the school head teachers through training programmes regarding existing policy documents that will enable them to manage the health and nutrition in schools effectively.

Influence of Motorcycle (Bodaboda) Business on Pupils’ Drop-Out in Public Primary Schools in Rangwe Sub County, Homa-Bay County, Kenya
Joseph Kipkoech Keino, Lewis Ngesu, Christine Kahigi – August 2020 Page No.: 160-165
The purpose of the study was to explore the influence of motorcycle (bodaboda) business on pupils’ dropout rates in primary education in Rangwe Sub County in Homa Bay County. The study examined the influence of gender related issues, mode of transport, socio-economic factors and school location on pupils’ dropout rates in primary education. The study was based on Tinto’s Model of student retention. The research adopted a descriptive survey design with a target population comprising of 120 public primary schools, 120 head teachers, 428 teachers’ and 8277 class six, seven and eight pupils’ as well as 600 boda boda operators. Stratified random sampling was used to arrive at schools to participate in the study by dividing the target population of schools into six strata on the basis of the six zones in l Rangwe Sub County. Census sampling approach was used to sample head teachers’ in the sampled schools, while random sampling was used to sample teachers’ and pupil’s from the selected schools. Therefore, the total sample of the study comprised of 12 head teachers, 43 teachers’ 828 pupils’ and 60 boda boda operators. The researcher used questionnaires to collect quantitative and qualitative data. The study established that gender related issues and use of motorcycle transport had a significant effect on pupils’ dropout rates in primary schools. Further, the study established that most parents were unable to raise adequate funds to pay school levies for their children. It was also established that the distance from home to school, mode of transport, lack of money and insecurity had a bearing on students’ dropout in primary schools. The study recommends among others that the school administration and other stakeholders should come up with programs and forums to enlighten parents on the importance of pupils’ education. A study should be carried out to find out the possible policies that can be put in place to improve the completion rates of pupils in primary schools in Kenya.

Governce Challanges Affecting the Implementation of Devolved Governance System in Kenya. The Case of Mandera County
Mohamed Ahmed Dagane, Dr George Maroko – August 2020 Page No.: 166-182

The Influence of Telenovelas on the Social Life of the Youth of Tamale Metropolis of Ghana
Paul Achonga Kabah Kwode, John Stephen Agbenyo, Dr. Adam Bawa Yussif – August 2020 Page No.: 183-189
Telenovelas are gradually making their way into every home with their melodramatic style of arresting the taste and fulfilling a great vacuum in the viewing pleasure of the youth of Tamale metropolis of Ghana. This paper adopted a purposive qualitative study to investigate the influence of telenovelas in the social life of the youth of Tamale. It discovered that some of the youth have adapted new identities and personalities out of the telenovelas they watch. The youth tend to cultivate some habits exhibited in the telenovelas they watch which is alien to the culture and people of the metropolis. This study recommends formulation and systematic implementation of indigenous policies that will arrest the zeal and craze for foreign telenovelas in Ghana. The government must take particular interest in programmes broadcast on the numerous television channels across the country to ensure that they are consistent with our national goals and aspirations as a people.

Strategic Human Resources Management in Organizations: A Logical Exploration of the Nature, Process and Rationales
Asadu. Ikechukwu, Ph.D, Onah, Celestine Chijioke, Obi, Deborah. O – August 2020 Page No.: 190-202
Increasing changes stemming from globalization, information and communication technology, scarce resources and competitions have attracted the attention of many scholars in strategic human resources management. Human resources play pivotal roles in effective and efficient functioning of organizations. In the face of growing competition among organizations over limited resources and market, organizations can only gain competitive advantage via strategic management. Thus, the strategic roles of human resource management in the long term viability of any profit or nonprofit making organization cannot be under scored. The study systematically examined the nature, process and rationales for strategic human resources management in organizations. The methodology of the study is qualitative and descriptive. Relevant materials on strategic human resources management were generated through secondary and primary sources and subjected to contextual-descriptive analysis. The study shows, among others, that strategic human resources management is a source of competitive advantage strength for organizations and has considerable impacts on the bottom-line of the employees and organization performance. It is a core managerial role which is at the centre of organizations’ key to success since it ensures that the organization remains competitive and has comparative advantage over its competitors in the market. Hence, the study advocates the institutionalization of strategic management of human resources in organizations to enhance competitive advantage, productivity, quality and service delivery.

Evaluation of Financial Reporting “Fair Presentation” Conceptual Objective of International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSASs) in Africa
Zivanai Mazhambe- August 2020 Page No.: 203-205
General purpose financial statements issued in compliance with the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) are determinative and useful for decision making by all stakeholders. This scientific study purpose is to evaluate the financial reporting conceptual objective of IPSAS ‘fair presentation’ in Africa. The study methodology adopted is mixed research methodology, through questionnaires and interviews on PAFA accountants in public sector practice across Africa. The findings revealed that the IPSAS financial reporting conceptual objective of ‘fair presentation’ is attainable with consistent application of professional judgments, taking into accounting the requisite accounting principles. Fair presentation is technically compounded for the average professional to apply, and requiring a lot of additional guidance over a prolonged period of time for the preparer of the financial reports to comply with all IPSASs in the process of complying with the conceptual qualitative characteristics of relevance and reliability.

Use of Traditional Family Planning Methods among Women of Child Bearing Age in Kwande LGA of Benue State, Nigeria
Iorkosu, Tyover Samuel, Alugwa, Euphemia Dooyum, Anum, Orngu Jacob, Dooior, Daniel Tsembe – August 2020 Page No.: 211-217
The family planning use has a multiplicity of health benefits such as preventing unplanned pregnancies, ensuring child spacing, reducing maternal and child mortality. In recent years, there has been an improvement in the provision of health facilities. Despite the improvement in science and technology that accompanied the establishment of the family planning unit across the state. With all these efforts, it has been observed that many women of childbearing age still cling to traditional family planning. This study also seeks to identify the socio-demographic characteristics of women that mostly use traditional family planning, various traditional family planning methods they use, the reasons for the preference of traditional family planning and the perceived effects of the traditional methods. The structured questionnaire was used to elicit information from 387 respondents and 50 participants for the in-depth interview to compliment the information from the quantitative data. The quantitative data involving descriptive and inferential statistics (Pearson correlation) was applied to interpret the result using SPSS. The study also revealed that women of childbearing age mostly used herbal medicine as a family planning method. In addition, the study revealed that effectiveness and trust of the method, no side effects, low cost as well as the availability of the method are the factors influencing the usage of traditional family planning in the area. The result of the study revealed that women of different educational qualification effectively utilized traditional family planning methods. This means that the educational qualifications of women have no significant influence on the use of traditional family planning method. The study recommends among others that women of childbearing age should be enlightened on the effect of modern family planning. The government should intensify its effort in making family planning units closer to the women. In addition, government and Non-governmental organisation should sponsor advanced research in the area to ascertain the effectiveness of the traditional family planning for better outlook, policy-making and implementation.

Public Debt and It’s Implication on Kenya’s Future Economic Growth
Pollyne Mbithe Mutunga- August 2020 Page No.: 218-223
An upsurge of Kenya’s public debt has elicited public debate on whether these crises could affect the future generation. Thus, the study adopted VAR model using data from 1980 to 2019 to investigate the effect of public debt on the future generation. To do this, the study utilized the historical data for GDP (dependent) and Public debt (independent variable) to estimate GDP for the years 2020, 2021, and 2022. Results reveal that public debt could slow down Kenya’s economic growth for the next three years. It was recommended that the country need debt restructuring to free up some financial resources and enhance investment in productive sectors as a mitigation measure.

Indonesian Animation Industry: Its Mapping and Strategy Development
Eka Nurjati, Yan Rianto, Rika Wulandari, Ontin Fatmakartika – August 2020 Page No.: 224-234
The problem of the animation industry in Indonesia is the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) contribution of animation, video, and film sub sector is lower than other sub sectors, which is 0.17%. On the other side, Indonesia has a potency to grow the animation industry through creativity and human thought power. This research was a descriptive research which uses in-depth interviews. CV Imaji Studio, PT the Little Giantz, PT Ayena Mandiri Sinema, and PT Kinema Systrans Multimedia are the research object. Based on the analysis, the animation studios have many problems; such are a few numbers of animators, a few infrastructure facilities, the high price of technology, the low quality and quantity of both education and trainee. It needs the cooperation of the stakeholders to create the strategy development. Business sector, government, community, academy, and media are the stakeholders which play a role to develop the strategy. Business sector is the leader to develop co-working space, incubation scheme, and financial system. Communities have the role to establish the exhibition and training. Academicians have the function to make the education curriculum and developing the animation technology. Media is the channel distribution of animation products to promote them.

Impact of Tekena. N. Tamuno on Nigerian Historiography
Gobo Prisca Abiye – August 2020 Page No.: 235-244
The aim of this article is to explain the development of Nigerian historiography and the place of Tekena Tamuno in it. For centuries, it was believed that Africa had no history. The only sources of African history were from outside the continent. The situation changed after the Second World War and particularly after African countries gained independence and became involved in the mainstream of things. As a second generation historian, he went beyond the popular emphasis on colonial administration at that time to deal with more important issues in the social, administrative and institutional history of Nigeria. This article will survey the growth and development of Nigerian historiography and Tamuno’s role in it.

Sabik Khumaini, Muhammad Nurzansyah, Zainal Arif – August 2020 Page No.: 259-264
This research was conducted to analyze the influence of BI rate and inflation on mudharabah deposits in Jabar Banten Islamic Bank. The data used in this study are monthly data from January 2015 to December 2017. The analysis technique used is multiple linear regression and hypothesis testing using t-statistics to test the partial regression coefficient with a level of significance of 5%. Besides that, a classic assumption test is also conducted which included normality test, heteroscedasticity test, autocorrelation test and multicollinearity test. During the observation period, from January 2015 to December 2017, the results of the study do not find any classical assumptions deviations. This indicates that the available data met the requirements for the use of multiple regression equation models. The results show that BI rate has a significant negative effect on mudharabah deposits, with a level of significance smaller than 5%. Inflation has a positive and insignificant effect on mudharabah deposits, with a level of significance greater than 5%.

The Second Demographic Dividend: The Challenge for Uganda
James Kizza, Amonya David, Kigosa Nathan- August 2020 Page No.: 265-272
Purpose: To investigate the challenges of Uganda’s demographic structure in relation to the country’s ability to harness a demographic dividend
Design/Methodology/Approach: We analyze secondary data from the World Bank data base on Uganda for the period 1983 to 2017. This data is supplemented with secondary data from the Uganda Bureau of Statistics. We run a multiple regression test to enable us predict the likely contribution of the selected demographic characteristic towards the country’s GDP per capita growth and check the robustness of the model by conducting various tests such as the Breusch Godfrey and Arch tests.
Findings: Results show that: GDP growth, age dependency ratio– young & old and annual urban population growth have a positive impact on per capita GDP growth while young dependency ratio, total population, annual population growth and mortality under 5 have a negative impact on per capita GDP. Collectively, the demographic characteristics studied explain 93.9% towards the country’s potential to harness the demographic dividend (Adjusted R-square 0.9391; p‹0.000).
Practical implications: Although there exists studies relating to demographic characteristics to the demographic dividend, none of the studies identified particularly deals with Uganda singularly. Most studies study Uganda in relation to other countries. This study handles Uganda’s case to exploit the demographic dividend given the studied demographic structure of the country. The study brings to light that with the right policies and institutions in place based on evidence provided by the study, the potential for Uganda enjoying the demographic dividend exists.
Originality/value: This study shows how Uganda can exploit her demographic structure to enjoy a demographic dividend

Auditor’s Independence (AUDINDP) and the Quality of Financial Reporting (FRQ) in Listed Deposit Money Banks (DMB’s) in Nigeria
Professor Owolabi, S.A., Afolayan, Oluwatobi – August 2020 Page No.: 303-309
This research evaluates the impact of the AUDINDP on the quality of FRQ in listed DMB’s in Nigeria. The necessity for auditors’ independence is fundamental for completion of the audit reporting process. Autonomy of the auditor reveals in technical, investigative as well as reporting practices. For an audit report to be openly certified as capturing the true picture of things, the auditors ought to be viewed to be certainly autonomous. The population for this research comprised of 20 listed DMB’s in Nigeria. Purposive non-probability sampling method was employed to select the sample of ten (10) banks. Secondary data was adopted and likewise gathered from certified corporate annual report of the sampled DMB’s. Descriptive tests, correlation analysis as well as panel OLS regression was adopted for analysis purposes. The research discovered that there exists a positive association amid AUDINDP and FRQ in DMB’s. AUDINDP is a major audit quality in financial reporting. Auditors and professional accountants should follow the integrity of autonomy to realize credibility as well as reliability demanded from FR.

Social Media: A Way Forward in Students’ Perception of French Language in Junior Secondary Schools in Benin Metropolis
ALUFOHAI, Peace Joan – August 2020 Page No.: 310-313
Over the years, the lackadaisical way in which students, parents and the society in general treat French language in Nigeria is very worrisome. Thus, this study is geared towards investigating the place of social media in students’ learning abilities in French. The simple random sampling technique was used to select a sample of 100 JSS 3 students in 5 private junior secondary schools in Benin metropolis, Edo State. The descriptive survey design was used for the study. A four point Likert type rating scale questionnaire was adopted for the study. The descriptive statistics of frequency counts and percentage were used to analyse the demographic data while chi-square statistics was used in testing the research hypothesis. The findings of the study revealed that majority of the JSS 3 students use social media wrongly and that social media can be used to enhance students’ perception of French. Based on the findings, it was recommended that social media should be used by French language teachers to enhance students’ perception of the subject. In addition, social networking sites should be expanded to enhance academic activities.

Impact of Modified Game Based Activities in Motor Control and Functional Outcome of Stroke Patients
Nighat Tahir, Sana Nauman, Shankar Ahuja, Dr Madiha Zia – August 2020 Page No.: 314-319
Background: Stroke is one of the most common causes of physical disability, and early, intensive, and repetitive rehabilitation exercises are crucial to the recovery of stroke survivors. Unfortunately, research shows that only one third of stroke patients actually perform recommended exercises at home, because of the repetitive and mundane nature of conventional rehabilitation exercises. Thus, to motivate stroke survivors to engage in monotonous rehabilitation is a significant issue in the therapy process. Game-based rehabilitation systems have the potential to encourage patients continuing rehabilitation exercises
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate/explore the effect /impact of modified game based activity that improve hand functioning
Method: This study was conducted at Institute of physical medicine and rehabilitation DOW University of health sciences. 15 patients those included were diagnosed as stroke through randomized control trial; patients having muscle grade 3, aged between 20-50, acute cases were included .All patients received conventional therapy and additional game based activities 4 days a week. Sports based therapy included Basket Ball, Balloon Bounce, Volley Ball, Cricket, and Football .These 5 activities covered with warm up and cool down exercises. Pre and post assessment is done by Fugal Mayer and Chadock scale.
Result: There is significant difference in baseline pre and post assessment of fugal Mayer and CAHAI scoring Wilcoxon signed rank test was performed. Value of p<0.05 In fugal Mayer A Wilcoxon Signed-Ranks Test indicated that posttest score was significantly higher than pretest Z = -3.413, p < .001 total measure of upper extremity and lower extremity as well as shoulder external rotation ,wrist ability adduction, opposition of thumb ,and grip if individually measured it also showed significant value of p<.001
Conclusion: Modified sports can turn the rehabilitation exercises more appealing and provide innate motivation to individual. The participants experienced increased quality of life, a greater propensity to use their affected arm and enhanced task performance

Either Women or Men Make Superior Managers and Leaders: A Critique
Dr. Chipo Mutongi – August 2020 Page No.: 320-325
Women were regarded as inferior and sometimes are still regarded as inferior to men and looked down upon. They are sometimes underestimated in issues regarding leadership and management as they are stereotyped and regarded as not being capable of being at the top. This belief came as a result of how men and women are socialized. In actual sense there is little reason to believe that either women or men make superior managers or different types of managers. Hoverer, there are some little differences but this is socially constructed.

Hery Yufrizal, Cucu Sutarsyah, Feni Munifatullah – August 2020 Page No.: 326-330
The objectives of this study are to investigate whether Challenge-Based Learning can improve the mastery of Discourse Analysis subject at the English study Program of the University of Lampung, and to investigate the factors that significantly influence the mastery of Discourse Analysis subject taught through Challenge-Based Learning at the English study Program of the University of Lampung. This study used quasi-experimental research design. The subjects of this study were students enrolled as participants at ‘Discourse Analysis’ subject at the Universitas Lampung. In this case, the students served both as the population and sample of the study. The results show that there was a significant difference of students’ achievement in three challenge-based learning activities. Challenge 1 (read, write, and present) got better result of learning compared to Challenge 2 (read, relate, present). There was no significant difference between Challenge 2 and Challenge 3 (read, illustrate, present, and argue), while there was a significant difference of achievement between Challenge 1 and Challenge 3

Influence of Organizational Resource Allocation and Strategy Communication on Organizational Performance of Selected Supermarkets in Nairobi County
Priscillah Wanjiru Gitau, Robert Abayo, Mary Kibuine – August 2020 Page No.: 331-340
In Kenya, supermarkets have witnessed challenging times due to unpredictable business environment. In recent times, the industry has seen some of the largest players like Uchumi and Nakumatt close most of their outlets. Therefore, this study assessed strategy implementation on organizational performance of the supermarkets in Nairobi County. Specifically, the study looked at organizational resource allocation, strategy communication, senior management support, monitoring and control of strategies and how they affect organizational performance of selected supermarkets in Nairobi County. The resource based view theory, agency theory and institutional theory were used. The study adopted a descriptive research design and it targeted 27 supermarkets operating in Nairobi County and its management staff who included the operations and human resource managers. The target respondents were 54, two from each of the supermarkets. A census was used thus all of the 54 respondents were included in the study . Hence, the unit of analysis were the 27 supermarkets in Nairobi County while the accessible population were the operations and human resource managers. The researcher collected information using structured questionnaires. A description of patterns in the collected data was done using mean, standard deviation, frequencies and percentages. Regression analysis was used to establish the relationship between strategy implementation and its effect on performance of the selected supermarkerts in Nairobi county so that relevant conclusions could be made. The findings were presented in the form of tables, figures, charts and discussions. The study established that monitoring and control of strategies had the largest effect on organizational performance followed by strategy communication, organizational resource allocation and lastly senior management support. This study concluded that strategy implementation had a postive and significant effect on organizational performance. The study recommended that the management of the supermarkets in Nairobi County should ensure that controls in strategy seek to optimize performance of their supermarkets while monitoring strategy implementation activities should seek to enable supermarkets in Nairobi County to minimize wastage of available resources.

Interpretations of English Nominal Elements by Kamba Speakers in Kenya
Nicholas Kilonzo Kivuva, Dr. Gerry Ayieko – August 2020 Page No.: 341-348
Language principles are innate and all human beings are endowed with such ability to acquire and be competent in any human language. Notably, there are subtle variations in languages occasioned by its morphological property. As such, once morphological units have been acquired the language principles work naturally in constraining the language use. Some of the language principles which are innate and part of adult syntactic knowledge are the binding theory principles. Binding theory constrains the use of NPs in languages; there are asymmetrical results, however, on binding theory based research on knowledge of the binding principles among young children cross-linguistically see (Mustafawi & Mahfoudhi, 2005). To investigate the innateness of binding principles among L2 learners; the current study looked at Kenyan form one students who have studied English nominal elements for more than seven years. The aim was to describe knowledge in nominal elements and how the students subconsciously interpret and use the binding principles as guided by the innate linguistic ability. Judgment test was used to elicit data from two different schools an experimental and a controlled one. The experimental school had studied a recommended class reader where an extract was lifted and students given seventeen test questions on nominal elements. Students were also given fifty questions on match and mismatch binding theory sentences (BT sentences hence forth) for interpretation. Lastly, the students wrote essays where BT sentences were extracted from their essays for judgment. Both phrase markers and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. An Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was carried to point out any significance difference in interpretation of the nominal elements within and between the two groups. The abstract linguistic ability among the form one students was evident from the students’ use of nominal elements in spontaneous essay writing where 70% use of BT sentences was grammatical. Comprehensional skills which precede production skills lead to below chance in identification of nominal elements in context and interpretation of both match and mismatch nominal items in the BT sentences.

The Potential Impacts of Financial Literacy on the Economy through the Formulation and Implementation of Monetary Policy by Central Bank of Nigeria
Chief Ajugwe, Chukwu Alphonsus Ph.D. – August 2020 Page No.: 349-356
Financial Literacy being the potent tool that drives the economy is quite necessary in the transmission of monetary policy outcome to the economy. The cardinal argument is that if the economic actors are not financial literate, they will be incapable of the interpreting and having in-depth understanding of the monetary policy frameworks as enunciated by monetary authorities. Financial literacy serves also as a strategic weapon for making positive and efficient investments by consumers and organizations which makes the critical sectors of the economy to get the required boast.
The success of the Financial Literacy will not only have profound impact on monetary policy but also on financial inclusion which will make it possible for every eligible adult to open bank account, in order to access all the banking services such as savings, deposits, loans and avail themselves to Information Communication Technology (ICT) as well. It is imperative to state that it will be accompanied with additional benefits such as e-banking and the use of Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs) which assured speedy transaction and convenience to consumers and the banking industry. In reality financial literacy is not only pivotal for financial inclusion but a critical component in providing strategic lead in achieving financial stability and cashless policy which generates multiple advantages both to the customers and banks alike because of its cost minimization and convenience .
The paper will examine in-depth the monetary policy and financial literacy, a robust approach on the impacts of both the financial literacy and monetary policy as being formulated and implemented by the monetary authorities will be undertaken. In addition the challenges, recommendations, and the conclusions will be critically analyzed.

Constraints and Extent of Participation of Rural Women in Turmeric (Curcuma longap L.) Farming in Jaba Local Government Area of Kaduna State
Balogun O.S, Owonibi, B .D, Olafemi, S O, and Alabi O, F – August 2020 Page No.: 360-364
The study examined the constraints and extent of participation of rural women in Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) farming in Jaba Local Government Area of Kaduna State. Primary data was collected through the use of structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and likert type scale were used to analyse the data. The result revealed that the respondents were young with a mean age of about 31years, most 70(70%) of the respondents had a minimum of secondary school education. Women were found to participate highly in most farm activities involved in Turmeric farming except ploughing and chemical application. Fluctuation in price, pest and diseases were important factors that significantly constrained Turmeric farming in the area. The study recommended that the farmers should take advantage of associations and cooperative to bargain for better prices. Also, extension activities should be stepped up to forestall the incidence of pest and diseases.

Effects of Policy Regulation on Alcohol Trade in Kirinyaga County, Kenya
Kangangi Muriuki Paul, Dr. Wilson Muna, PhD – August 2020 Page No.: 374-383
Although governments have absolute obligation to control alcohol trade and enactment of new laws, alcohol trade is still a big issue in Kenya. This article provides the investigation concerning effects of policy regulation on alcohol trade in Kirinyaga West, Kirinyaga County, Kenya. The article adopted the availability theory and single distribution theory pioneered by Single Eric and Sully Lederman respectively. 349 respondents from 38 urban centres in Kirinyaga West Sub County served as a target population. A sample size of 35 alcohol traders was used as respondents of the study. Interviews and questionnaires were used in data gathering. Quantitative data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics while qualitative data was analyzed into themes and patterns. The study results revealed that issuing of licensing limits; enacting licensing laws and penalties have helped regulate the alcohol trade. Corruption has undermined compliance with alcohol trade policies while police arrests have helped to control the alcohol trade. The study also showed that majority of alcohol traders do not conform to stipulated operating hours while a good number of manufacturers do conform to the requirements of labelling standards. In few cases alcohol is sold to underage persons. The study recommended that County government should educate members of the public and officials involved in alcohol regulation on how to implement enforcement strategies successfully. There should be proper evaluation of licensing policies to ensure they work well in alcohol trade regulation. The government should also carry out interim audits on alcohol businesses to ensure they comply with required policies that would lead to successful alcohol policy regulations.

The Phenomenon of Private Higher Education: A Review of the Rationale, the Merits and Demerits
Samson C. R. Kajawo- August 2020 Page No.: 384-392
Expansion of enrolment has been the central higher education reality for the past half-century all over the world. Literature is rich with reasons that ignited the global emergence of private universities. This article reviews the rationale, merits and demerits of the emergence and the expansion of the private universities in a bid to boost the continuity of the private higher education discourse. In this review, it has been noted that growth in private higher education provision was mainly fuelled by the growth in people’s demand for higher education access due to the failure of supply by public universities especially in African countries. Scholars have pointed out the ability to create jobs, extend higher education opportunities to many students left out by public universities’ selections in Africa and providing stable academic calendars as the major merits of the existence of private universities in the countries. Nevertheless, numerous weaknesses were also revealed. According to some studies, due to their focus on profits, they were contributing to the degradation of higher education quality, propagating inequality in the society and were limited and selective in the study programmes they offered. Several studies also revealed the inadequacy of resources in terms of human, physical and infrastructure as another weakness that likely compromised the quality of education provided. From this review, it has been noted that many studies had been done in many African countries related to performances and challenges of private universities. Nevertheless, there is still a need for more studies to be done focusing on quality assurance and control.

Examination of Obstacles towards Managing of Inter-Clan Conflicts within the Somali Community of Wajir North Sub-County, Kenya
Robert Aengwony, Lilian Machariah and Samson Busalire – August 2020 Page No.: 393-407
Members of the Degodia and Ajuran clans have been conflicting in Wajir North Sub-County since the pre-colonial era. Several actors have not successful managed to resolve the conflicts despite the available strategies and interventions. This is an indication that these strategies have not been successful, and that was the prime interest of this study. The objective of the study was to examine the obstacles of managing inter-clan conflicts within the Somali Community of Wajir North Sub-County. The study employed The Human Needs Theory and Social Conflict Theory. The study sampled 492 respondents who included 400 household heads, 25 assistant chiefs, 16 police officers, 20 business entities, 4 NGOs, 15 Village Elders and 12 youth leaders in peace committees. Questionnaires, Focus Group Discussion, observation checklists and interviews were used in data collection. The study found out that youth employment (72%) and solving historical injustices (68%) would increase harmony among the communities and would help in propagating peace between them. The study recommends that poverty alleviation and creation of job opportunities for the youths in the region should be prioritized by the national and county governments.

Leveraging a Public Infrastructure Project as a Driver for Technology Development – A Case Study on a Technology Transfer Model for the Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit Development Project
Abdul Rahman Hamdan, Dr. Mohamad Syazli Fathi, Professor Emeritus Dr. Zainai Mohamed – August 2020 Page No.: 408-420
In realizing the strategic leverage large public procurement has on technol- ogy development, several countries have introduced technology transfer programs within strategic public procurement to develop the capability of their local industries. This pa- per uses a mix-method analysis of qualitative and quantitative data from a case study of a technology transfer model in a public rail infrastructure project in Malaysia. For the quantitative analysis, a total of 202 respondents from the contractors and consultants have participated in the survey. The results of the analysis show that the critical success factors for determining the technology outcome of the KVMRT Technology Transfer program are “Technology Transfer Planning”, “Transfer Environment” and “Learning Environment”. The study concludes that the factor most influencing the outcome is “Learning Environ- ment”. Based on the findings, recommendations were made to improve the technology transfer process for similar future rail projects. The study recommendations include (1) Improvement of the current government policy on Technology Transfer, (2) Focusing on innovation as one of the main criteria for a successful TT outcome, (3) Digitalization of the TT Process and (4) Establishment of a Technology Transfer Office (TTO) within a government strategic procurement project.

Afam Uzorka (PhD), Yakubu Ajiji Makeri (PhD) – August 2020 Page No.: 421-425
The purpose of this study was to assess Higher Education student’s attitude toward learning during COVID-19 pandemic. The study also explores the factors affecting student’s attitude towards learning during COVID-19 pandemic. The study population consist 344 students and 10 lecturers in Kampala. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected and analyzed in the study. Demographic data was also collected on the lecturers and students involved in the study. Questionnaire of Attitudes toward learning during COVID-19 Pandemic (QATLCP) was used as the principal quantitative data collection instrument.
The techniques used for analysis of the quantitative data were: descriptive statistics; analysis of variance (ANOVA); test for differences and regressions. In terms of the focus group data, interviews were audio recorded; transcribed and thematic analysis was conducted on the transcripts.
Although the results of the quantitative data analysis revealed that students had generally favorable attitudes toward learning during COVID-19 pandemic, focus group data indicated that a number of factors across three contexts (the environment, school system and society) seemed to be fundamental in shaping students attitude toward learning during COVID-19 pandemic.

The Potentials of Islamic Banking on Poverty Alleviation in Nigeria
Rabiu Abubakar Abba, Besar Bin Ngah – August 2020 Page No.: 438-443
It is a well-known fact that the global financial crisis prompted the establishment of Islamic finance to complement the traditional financial institutions, as a medium to lessen the endemic risk exposure inherent in the financial institutions. The principle goals and functions of the Islamic finance comprises the economic well-being of the populace, through full employment and maximum rate of economic growth, equal distributions of income and wealth and as a result socio-economic justice, and the generation of sufficient savings and their productive mobilization and stability in the value of money (Chapra, 2000). On the other hand, poverty, which is the absence of means to attain a “decent” standard of living, has been found to be very common in the Muslim world. It has been estimated that over 40 per cent of the Muslim population languishes in abject poverty, with nearly 350 million living on less than US$1.25 a day (C0MCEC, 2014). The objective of this study is therefore, to determine whether Islamic banking in Abuja, Nigeria has the potentials to alleviate poverty. The research is exploratory in nature, relying on secondary sources of data such as journals, periodicals, conference proceedings, textbooks, internet search and other source of published data. Findings from the analysis revealed that Islamic Banking is indeed a means of alleviating poverty. The conclusion drawn from the study indicates that the following are the poverty alleviation strategies, methods and instruments used by Islamic banks, these are; Murabaha, Mushraka, Mudaraba, Ijarah, Sukuk, Interest free service, good business ethics, Islamic microfinance and corporate social responsibility. The study further observed that Abuja, Nigeria’s Federal Capital, with its large Muslims population, shifting of attention and growing interest on Islamic banking products by its populace and the promotion of development of infrastructures in Malaysia and other countries presents a great potential for the practicability of Islamic banking products in alleviating poverty in Abuja, Nigeria. The study therefore, recommended that Islamic Banking should be highly encourage by the appropriate authorities in order to assist in the war against poverty in Abuja and Nigeria at large.

Systematic reviewed literature revealed that there has been a downward trend in academic performance ranking among secondary students in Oyo State which queries the role of educationists at national level. Despite series of studies on this subject; poor performance related problems still lingering in our society. In fact, the 2017 WAEC result ranking placed Oyo in 28th position.
A descriptive survey design was adopted for the study because the variables of the study are already in-existence and could not be manipulated in the study. The study population comprises of randomly selected (305) students from selected secondary school students in Ibadan Metropolis of Oyo state, from two local governments and a structured questionnaire named (IFASQ-37 items)was used for data collection among secondary school students in Ibadan North LGA. Research questions were answered directly while Hypothesis 1 was tested using Pearson correlation, hypothesis 2 was tested with multiple regression analysis.
Results of the study revealed that indiscipline contributed to poor academic performance of secondary school students(r=-.373; p<.01); the results confirmed relationship between indiscipline, school factors and academic performance. Also, it was revealed that indiscipline, Teacher student relationship, Peer pressure, Classroom setting and Age of students jointly predicted academic performance {R = .538; R2 =.289; F (5,299) = 24.310; P<.01}. This result shows that indiscipline, peer group and age jointly accounted for about 29% variance in academic performance among students in secondary schools.
The study concluded that there is high level of indiscipline, peer group influence among secondary school students which contributed significantly to poor academic performance. Therefore, the study recommends that group influence should be monitored to yield positive effects on students’ academic activities. Teacher-students relationship should be harnessed to improve academic performance as well as put in place conducive classroom setting for the students learning will have direct implication for performance delivery and academic achievement among students.

The participants for this study comprised of men and women who are workers in Etisalat Plc, Ibadan offices. The respondents were selected using purposive sampling technique with population sample size of 187. 80 (42.8%) of the participants were males, while the remaining 107 (57.2%) were females. The mean age was 34.17, SD= 8.72. The hypotheses were tested using inferential statistics.
The results showed that organizational stress had significant influence on workplace violence at {t(185) = 2.069; P<.05)}; only age had a significant negative relationship with workplace violence in this study at (r=-.51: p<.05). organizational stress and workplace violence among employees in the telecommunication industry. (r = .155; P<.01); gender, age, marital status, educational qualification and work experience jointly explained about 9.2% variance observed in workplace violence (R2 = 0.92, F (5, 187) = 2.35, p < .05); age, (β = .136, t = 2.010, p<.05), marital status (β =.-.137, t = -2.353, p<.05) and work experience (β =.-.148 p<.05)

David Olorunsogo – August 2020 Page No.: 489-493
The professional side and social side of medical discourse have been recognized by scholars. Scholarship in the Nigerian Medical Context has geared towards the professional side until recently that the social side is given attention. Earlier researches that have investigated politeness within the Nigerian context of medical discuss have not given primacy to private hospital. This paper is a pilot study to investigate how Politeness Strategies are deployed in Doctor-Patient interactions in private hospitals in Ibadan. With specific objectives of investigating how doctors employ politeness strategies in eliciting information from patients; investigating the kind of face wants of patients in doctor-patients interactions; examining the asymmetry between doctors and patients. It was been discovered that doctors mostly make use of bald on-record strategies with older patients and more of positive politeness strategies with children. Patients, employ positive politeness strategy and negative politeness as demanded by the emerging context of interaction.

Inculturation in African Christianity: The Need for a Global Model
Dr Charles K. Moywaywa – August 2020 Page No.: 496-500
The purpose of this work is to contribute to the on-going debate on inculturation by projecting a trajectory that appreciates the authenticity of all cultures. The chief objective for inculturation is to make Christianity more relevant, more appealing, more understandable or even more feel-at-home to the Afrucan continent (Walligo, 1986:12). Inculturation, as a concept, was coined to satisfy the need for addressing the mistakes made by some of the pioneer white missionaries who condemned indigenous culture as devilish and therefore one of the evils from which Africans required to be liberated (Kanu, 2012; Mugambi, 2002). To undo this erroneous ideology, African theologians began to push for a more sympathetic theological approach that could give credence rather tha general condemnation of their indigenous traditions. But the truth of the matter is ********that the damage was already done. Pro-western cultural attributes have already become entrenched in African mentality such that to completely remove them from people’s minds is like a mission in vanity. For this reason, there is need to appreciate the fact that indigenous cultures may not always provide an adequate material for inculturation. In some instances, it may well be the vase that a more suitable material is available in the western culture, or any other foreign culture. This paper focuses on the following areas: examination of the prevailing approaches to inculturation in African Christianity; the need for a global model and an analysis of a proposed model. This work is underpinned by Grenham’s (2001) observation that the process of inculturation infers a transformative and dialog*ical engagement involving Christian and nonChristian values aimed at revealing God’s vision for humanity

Investigating Current Classroom Practices in the Teaching and Learning of Geography among Pupils with Visual Impairment in an Inclusive Classroom at Munali Boys’ Secondary School
Jordan Nyirenda – August 2020 Page No.: 501-504
This manuscript investigated current classroom practices in the teaching of geography to students with visual impairment in inclusive classroom at Munali Boys’ Secondary School in Lusaka district of Zambia. The researcher employed purposive sampling to selected the school and geography teachers. This study found that teachers with little or no knowledge of braille face difficulties to teach geography to students with visual impairment. It also found that teachers never adapted their teaching methods to accommodate students with visual impairment. The teaching methods teachers adopted in the teaching of geography was mainly talk and chalk or lecture method which made it hard for students with visual impairment to follow the lesson clearly. In summary, while students with visual impairment have the capacity to learn geography, teachers did not use embossed maps, auditory or models to assist students with visual impairment in grasping concepts.

Unearthing Impediments and anti-dots in the Implementation of Dual Citizenship Policy in Zambia
Brendah Namadula, Wilfred Muntengwa, Rachael Simwatachela, Viola Hamainza, Godfrey Mwewa, Francis Simui and Gistered Muleya – August 2020 Page No.: 505-512
In this study, we explored Impediments in the implementation of the Dual Citizenship Policy in Zambia. The study utilised a descriptive research design within a qualitative research approach. The study used semi-structured interviews and document analysis as data generation instruments. Using a critical case and maximum variation, purposive sampling, the study generated evidence from a total of 14 participants. The study identified lack of awareness and sensitisation, delay in security vetting, lack of information from the Zambian missions abroad, lack of honesty from applicants, failure by applicants to provide accurate information, and incomplete application forms as some among the many reasons on the institutional related barriers to the implementation of the dual citizenship Policy. On the other hand, the following were the suggested anti-dots to the accelerated implementation of the dual citizenship policy: (i) engaging the media, both print and electronic, (ii) educating the citizens by utilising the already existing structures as information desks for citizens to access information about the Dual Citizenship Act, and (iii) decentralisation of the sittings of the Citizenship Board of Zambia to other parts of Zambia. Further, there was need to repackage the information in accessible manner for all people and by introducing online platforms where citizens can find the information readily available The study concludes that while Government through the Ministry of Home Affairs is registering citizens for dual citizenship, there was lack of awareness and sensitisation being done in order for the citizenry to appreciate the positive nature of the policy The study recommends that the Government of the Republic of Zambia should scale up awareness and sensitisation programmes on the intended benefits and opportunities that lie in the implementation of dual citizenship policy among others.

The Impact of the Wuhan Coronavirus Pandemic on Education in Nigeria: A Critical Appraisal
OLUKA, Nduka Lucas, EZEH, Ndiombeze Augustina PhD., & OKOTIE, Agbedia Joshua – August 2020 Page No.: 513-521
This study examined the immediate and long-term impacts of the outbreak of the novel Wuhan Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) on education in Nigeria. The study, thus, argued that the temporary closure of businesses, social activities and the continued closure of schools in the face the outbreak of the novel COVID-19 have impacted negatively on the development of education that was already in comatose state in Nigeria. To achieve the objective of this study which is to identify the immediate and long-term impacts of the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic on education in Nigeria, study adopted cross sectional research design which has three aspects via investigation of contemporary phenomenon and life context, and the use of multiple source of evidence. This research design lends itself to explorative and explanatory methods. Some solutions that could address the immediate and long-term impacts of the closure of schools in the face of the outbreak of COVID-19 in the country were suggested. However, there is the need for common understanding between the government, its agencies and other stakeholders in the cause of finding solutions to the challenges of the outbreak of the virus, and the continued closure of schools in the country; there is also the need for the government and policy makers to mitigate the impacts of the closure of schools through the provision of technologies needed to facilitate e-learning, such as computers, mobile data packages, subsidizing telecommunication and power supply bills to the citizenries, among others.

Impact of Problem-Based Learning on Learner Achievement and Problem-Solving Skills on Environmental Non-Metal Pollution
Joe Simunza, Asiana Banda, Patrick Hayumbu – August 2020 Page No.: 522-533
This study investigated the impact of Problem -Based Learning (PBL) on learner achievement and their problem solving skills on environmental non-metal pollution. Learners’ attitude towards environmental non-metal pollution was also evaluated. The study implemented a quasi-experimental design involving the pre-test, post-test control group design. The research sample consisted of two grade 12 classes (total of 95 learners) studying Chemistry 5124 at Kenneth Kaunda Secondary School in Chinsali District of Muchinga Province. Learners in the experimental group were instructed via PBL, while the lecture and discussion methods were used in the control group. Achievement test, problem solving skills test and attitude questionnaire were used to assess three parameters, namely; understanding of the topic, problem-solving skills on the topic and learners’ attitude towards the topic. An independent samples t-test was used to compare achievement of the two groups at 95% confidence level. Problem-solving skills data were analysed descriptively by computing frequencies while attitude data were analysed using descriptive (mean) and inferential statistics (Mann-Whitney U–test). The study findings indicated a significant difference between the experimental and control group (t (df=93) =3.554, p = 0.001 ˂ α = 0.05 two tailed). Problem solving skills assessment results reflected that learners’ problem solving skills of the experimental group (75.6%) increased more than that of the control group (42.0%). The attitude results indicated that learners’ liking, interest and motivation towards the topic increased more in the experimental group compared to the control group with attitude mean of 4.11 (SD = 1.059) and 3.42 (SD =1.346), respectively. The value of U= 557.000, Exact. Sig (2-tailed) = 0.00. Based on the findings, it is recommended that PBL instruction be used in teaching environmental pollution arising from non-metals as it showed a positive impact in concept learning, problem-solving skills and learners’ attitude towards learning.

Impact of Ethnochemistry on Learners Achievement and Attitude towards Experimental Techniques
Absalom Siwale, Indra Sen Singh, Patrick Hayumbu – August 2020 Page No.: 534-542
This study was conducted to examine the impact of the Ethnochemistry teaching approach on learners’ performance and attitude towards the topic of Chemistry Experimental Techniques as well as Chemistry in general. The quasi-experimental design of the pre-test, post-test approach was used in the study. The total sample size was 195 learners. To assess learners’ performance, a pre-test and a post-test were administered to both the control and the experimental groups. Learners’ attitude towards Experimental Techniques and Chemistry in general was assessed using a pre-test and post-test Attitude Questionnaire. The results for the performance pre-test and post-test were compared using independent-sample t-Test at an alpha (α) level set at 0.05.This showed a statistically significant difference in the post-test performance for control (M=42.75 ,SD=11.313 ) and Experimental (M= 70.85 ,SD=14.45 ) groups; t(38)=-6.85, P= .000. There was also a statistically significant difference in post-test attitude Scores for control (M= 50.5, SD=19.73) and experimental (M=85.5, SD=20.7) groups; t (193) =16.4, P= .000. This indicates that the Ethnochemistry teaching approach enhances learners’ performance and enhances learners’ positive attitude towards Experimental Techniques and Chemistry in general.

Effect of Graphic Organizers on Performance and Retention in Writing and Balancing of Chemical Equations by Grade 11 Pupils at Temweni Secondary School, Ndola
Chanshi Christopher and Daka Phillip – August 2020 Page No.: 543-556
Viable evidence indicates that in spite of frantic efforts put in place by Ministry of General Education such as the fast track training of Science teachers, introduction of a practical examination, abolishing of a complete theory multiple-choice question paper and having two separate theory papers for chemistry and physics following the revision of the curriculum so as to improve performance in science subjects, the performance of students still remains below average in science subjects particularly chemistry. The recent 2019 examinations results have also indicated that the performance of students in science subjects was below average. Therefore, this study sought to investigate the effect of graphic organizers on students’ performance and retention in writing and balancing of chemical equations. The design of the study was a counter-balance quasi-experimental non-equivalent group. The sample composed of 111 grade eleven pupils comprising 51 boys and 60 were girls. The study was conducted in two phases and lasted for six weeks. The first phase was conducted for a period of 3 weeks. During this period the experimental group was exposed to the treatment, the graphic organizers, and the control group was taught using lecture method there after post-test1 was administered. The second phase started in the fourth week and lasted for 3 weeks as well. In this phase the control group was exposed to the intervention the graphic organizers while the initial experimental group was taught using lecture method there after post-test2 was administered.
Two instruments were used to collect quantitative data, and this include chemistry achievement test (CAT) and attitude and belief questionnaire. These instruments were administered once before and once after the intervention. The scores of the subjects before and after the graphic organizers intervention were compared and analysed quantitatively using a computer program SPSS and the hypotheses were tested using independent-samples t-test at 0.05 level of significance to determine whether there was any significant differences between means of the scores. The data generated through the questionnaire was analysed using the SPSS and presented on the frequency table and bar chart to determine whether there was some changes in student’s attitudes and beliefs.
The results of this study showed that graphic organizers such as ranking ladder and chain of linked events had significantly improved the performance and retention of students and had positively impacted the student’s attitudes and beliefs towards writing and balancing of chemical equations. These results also suggest that graphic organizers can be an effective supporting tool in teaching and learning of learners.

Boko Haram Insurgency: Repercussions on Educational Institutions in Adamawa State, Nigeria
Ahmed Rufa’i Usman, Usman Ibrahim Dabai – August 2020 Page No.: 557-562
Boko Haram attacks on educational institutions include assassination, attacks on students, academics, arbitrary arrest, torture, abduction and bombing. This is done through the use of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEds), rocket attacks, suicide bombs, grenades and gun shootings. Education is under attack as the incidence of violence against educational institutions is on the rise in Nigeria due to Boko Haram which reduced school attendance among youths. Since 2009 Boko Haram has targeted educational institutions, killing hundreds of students and staff. Boko Haram has bedeviled the educational sector by attacking Universities, Polytechnics, Colleges, Secondary and Primary schools. Structures were destroyed and thousands of staff and students displaced by Boko Haram insurgents. The population of the study comprised students and staff of Adamawa State University, Mubi and the Federal Polytechnic, Mubi. Questionnaires and in-depth interview IDI were used as instruments of data collection. A sample population of 300 respondents was employed by the study. Cluster and accidental sampling techniques were used to draw the respondents. The study finds that the insurgents have affected academic activities, structures, manpower and coping strategies after resumption in the institutions. The study recommended that government should improve security situation and the affected institution should be assisted by the government, philanthropists and NGOs to improve academic activities.

Prioritizing Functional Infrastructure Facilities for Sustainable Privatisation of Electricity Service Delivery In Nigeria
Olamide, Eniola, Victor (PhD), Daramola, Joshua, Olusola and Adebayo Abimbola, A – August 2020 Page No.: 563-572
Background And Objectives: Actualizing constant supply of electricity is the desire of every nation as it facilitates economic development and national growth, some nations had gone the way of privatisation The privatisation of the power sector had been the strategy embarked upon across the globe aiming at finding probable last solution to the menace of incessant power failure most especially in the developing nations which is detrimental to their economic development. The consideration for adequate functioning of electrical infrastructure facilities before the full privatisation of the power sector as fundamental to effective electricity service delivery is the main focus of this study as it applies to Nigeria.
The paper stresses that the poor functional condition of these electrical facilities was one of the causes of the poor performance of electricity service delivery after privatisation. Hence, the paper opined that the functional condition of these electrical infrastructure facilities ought to have been put into consideration before embarking on the privatisation of electricity service delivery.
Methods: The study draws its information from the extant publications on infrastructure facilities that are relevant to the case study. The study adopted on the spot observation and assessment of facilities in the study area. The electrical facilities considered in this study were the distribution transformer, electric poles, and electric wire and cables. Tertiary data were also made use.
Finding: The study based on the findings from the literature recommended that the policymakers, decision-makers, relevant government officials, and all concerned stakeholders should go back to the roundtable and hold an in-depth, thoughtful deliberation that will factor in the consideration for the indispensability of electrical infrastructure facilities to successful privatisation of power sector.
Conclusion: Conclusively, figure 4,5,6,7, and 8 gave the visual condition of the electrical facilities state. Hence, prioritising these facilities before privatisation is imperative.

Impact of International Trade on the Growth of the Nigerian Economy
YUSUF Lateef Olarotimi, NCHOM Humphrey, OSUJI Paulinus, UDEORAH Sylvester Alor F – August 2020 Page No.: 573-576
The paper examined the impact of international trade on economic growth in Nigeria. The objectives of this study were to ascertain the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow, net-export (NEX) and foreign exchange rate (EXR) on the growth of the Nigerian economy (GDP). Dynamic Ordinary Least Square (DOLS) multiple regression analysis technique was employed to estimate the various data collected via the central bank of Nigeria statistical bulletin covering the period of 1980 to2018. The results showed that all the explanatory variables except exchange rate were positively linked with economic growth. More so, all the explanatory variables were statistically significant with economic growth except net export. The Durbin Watson statistics value of 1.81 suggested that the explanatory variables in the model are not serially correlated. Thus, the model is good for policy implementation. Based on the findings, the paper recommended that; Government should maintain a good market driven exchange rate policy in order to encourage local production that will lead to increase in international competiveness which in turn will result to increase in economic growth. Also, government should implement efficient and specific macroeconomic policy geared toward improving safe business environment that will attract more foreign investment in order to increase the growth of the Nigerian economy.

Housing Development, Poverty Alleviation and Cooperative Societies: The Nexus
Anthony Ikpeme Ankeli, Bashar Muhammad Nuhu, Naomi, Ijadunola Popoola, Uchechi Constance Ankeli, Adekunle Sulaiman Ojeniyi – August 2020 Page No.: 577-584
Housing is one of man’s basic essentials of life which ranked second to food. In spite of this, its development requires huge initial capital outlay, hence the ownership is steadily becoming elusive especially for those within the low- income cadre. Nigeria as one of the developing nations of the world is faced with the twin problems of poverty and housing provision. Housing financing and poverty alleviation has become problematic issues for successive government in Nigeria as the various poverty alleviation and housing financing options in the country has failed largely due to bureaucratic bottleneck and other corrupt practices. The paper therefore evaluates the efforts of the Federal Polytechnic Ede academic staff union cooperative society at alleviating poverty through housing development financing. To achieve this, the study explored both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies in order to empirically investigate the activities of the society and established the nexus between housing development, poverty alleviation and cooperative societies. Both primary and secondary data were collected and analyzed using descriptive statistical tool. Findings from the study revealed that 270 staff members have benefitted from the housing provision initiatives of the society with their properties at various stages of completions, while 24 members have also obtained their PhD and Master’s degree, 18 members got exotic cars through the dedicated education and car loan options. More so, the society provided soft and flexible loan facilities at low interest rates through which staff members have been empowered. The paper concluded by recommending the introduction and sustenance of co-operative societies in government institutions as a sure means for housing ownership and urban poverty alleviation in the country.

Empowerment Practices and Organizational Performance: A Review of Literature
Dr. Miebaka Dagogo Tamunomiebi, Hannah Chika-Anyanwu – August 2020 Page No.: 585-599
This study is a descriptive work aimed at theoretically reviewing existing literature on the impact of empowerment practices on the general organizational performance – having empowerment practice as the predictor variable and organizational performance as the criterion variable. In virtually every organization, the central objective of human resource management is to meritoriously pilot the affairs of the employees by inspiring positive work attitudes such as: enhancing productivity, satisfaction on the job, high morale, enthusiasm and organizational citizenship behavior with absolute reduction of destructive work attitudes like high quest to leave the organization, absenteeism, work evasiveness and deviant work place comportment. Existing studies have revealed that employee performance has a direct relation to an organization’s overall performance and success and that mainly empowered employees are able to perform immensely and cause the overall performance of the organization to be skyrocketed or to be at its peak. In this study, empowerment practices such as autonomy to employees, effective reward system, effective communication/information system employee participation/involvement were found to boost employee performance and by extension organizational performance. It was concluded that empowerment practices predicts organizational performance so long as the cost of adopting this practices does not exceed the profit it generates to the organization. This work will be very relevant to academia, organizations and business world at large as a source of knowledge on the importance of empowerment practice especially in terms of performance with its cost effectiveness in view.

The geographical scope of the study covers Baringo County in Kenya, while the time scope 2003-2005. The authors found that the cost-sharing policy has not been effective since majority of the population are unable to pay due to poverty. In addition, there is inadequacy in finances both from the Central and the County government which affects the quality of health care delivery to the population. Finally, the Central government should restructure the public health care insurance popularly called NHIF, to accommodate outpatient services and to cater for the less privileged members of the society.

Odhiambo Kenneth- August 2020 Page No.: 615-622
The role of the court interpreter stirs controversies anytime it is mentioned especially in legal interpreting. This study sought to examine the perceptions of legal professionals towards court interpreters as language rights practitioners. Language rights in this parlance indicates the interpreter is not merely seen as a conduit but as one who speaks for the persons who do not speak English in court. The study used a total of 68 questionnaires distributed to the lawyers, magistrates and prosecutors in selected subordinate courts in Kisumu County. A frequency and percentage rating were used to determine the perception of the legal professionals towards the court interpreter as language rights practitioners. The parameters used to gauge language rights were language combination proficiency, accuracy, omission, interruptions and impartiality. The study found out that the legal professionals have varied perceptions on the parameters constituting the language rights practitioner role of the interpreter.

Lodikero Olusola, Amodu Muhammed Abdulasisi – August 2020 Page No.: 623-628
Published accounting information in financial statements are required to provide various users; shareholders, employees, suppliers, creditors, financial analysts, stockbrokers and government agencies with timely and reliable information useful for making prudent, effective and efficient decisions. This paper examines firm characteristics and restatement of financial reports in Nigeria. Specifically, the study investigates the relationship that subsists between firm characteristics and restatement of financial statement. The corporate annual reports and website for the periods 2010-2019 were utilised as the main sources of secondary data. The study adopted correlation technique to analyse the data collected from annual reports and corporate website of the listed companies in Nigeria. The findings showed that restatement of financial reporting is related to: firm size, ROA, and leverage. The results also revealed that restatement of financial statements significantly influenced investors, potential investors’ behaviour and serves as correcting and control yardsticks to check mate intentional material misstatements in financial records. The study recommended the effective execution of the restatement standard with integrity and independence of executors.

How Efficient are Government Stringency Responses in Curbing the Spread of the COVID-19 Pandemic?
Elvis Dze Achuo – August 2020 Page No.: 629-635
This study quantitatively examines the effectiveness of government response policies in abating the spread of COVID-19. We employed daily data spanning from mid-February 2020 to early August 2020 for a panel of 50 African countries. Results of the IRFs of the panel VAR model shows a negative significant long-run effect of government stringent responses on the total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases. This implies that stricter government responses reduce the spread of COVID-19. The robustness of this result was verified with the help of the FMOLS and DOLS estimators. Consequently, this study recommends that African governments should step-up their community screening/testing capacities and continuously organise health campaigns to sensitize the citizens on the importance of respecting COVID-19 barrier measures. Equally, African governments should rethink the health of their citizens by increasing investments in the health sector in order to prevent the devastating health impacts of unexpected future pandemics.

Responsibilities of Nurses in the Management of Admitted Patients with HIV and AIDS Related Illnesses
Clement Nyati, Patrick Senderayi, Mqemane Tshababa, Ngonidzashe Mutanana- August 2020 Page No.: 636-646
The purpose of the study was to determine the perceptions of patients and nurses in view of the responsibilities of nurses in the care of admitted patients with HIV and AIDS related illnesses. The nurses’ responsibilities in the management of admitted patients with HIV and AIDS related illnesses are varied and go beyond the administration of prescribed medications. An anti-positivist / interpretivist approach, which is a qualitative methodology, was adopted. The study, through its methods, sought to capture HIV and AIDS nursing care aspects in their entirety within the context of the patients and nurses who are experiencing them. Interpretive phenomenology was applied to explicitly describe the experience as lived by the participants. Convenience–purposive sampling was employed in the recruitment of nurses, and a simple random sampling technique was utilised in the recruitment of patients. Patients were included in the study on the basis of having been admitted for more than a day, conscious, and mentally stable. The participants shared their experiences when they were engaged through semi-structured interview schedules, focus group discussions and short essays. The details of the participants remained anonymous throughout the study to protect their identity. The dignity of all research participants in this study was respected and maintained, and their autonomy was ensured. The data generated were analysed through a series of steps of the Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis Framework (IPA). The first stage involved the transcription of data from interviews and focus group discussions verbatim. In the second stage preliminary themes were identified. The third stage involved grouping themes together as clusters. The final stage involved tabulating themes in a summary table. Six master themes emerged from the data, Establishment of constancy, Patient Empowerment, Infection control, Benevolence and need for patient safety and comfort. The nurses’ experiences and patients’ experiences helped generate master themes that address the issue of the nurses’ scope in the management of admitted patients with HIV and AIDS related illnesses. The themes include: Provision of constancy. Patient empowerment, Infection Control, Provision of comprehensive care. Extended enquiries in the area of patient empowerment and infection need to be conducted. These concepts have been deemed essential in the care of admitted patients with HIV and AIDS related illnesses. There is very scanty data with regards to these concepts in view of abilities of nurses to provide adequate care to admitted patients

Role of Political Leadership and Governance in the Reintegration of War Veterans: Challenges and Their Implications for Zimbabwe
Shadreck P.M. Makombe – August 2020 Page No.: 647-652
The research sought to assess the reintegration of war veterans into the society, the challenges and their implications. In trying to find solutions to the research problem, the researcher examined the role of political leadership and governance in the handling of the integration of war veterans in Zimbabwe and identified reintegration models that can be undertaken to ensure that the war veteran’s grievances are holistically met and accommodated by the ordinary community members in Zimbabwe. The research method used was qualitative approach and the data was generated through the use of face-to-face interviews, focus group discussions and the researcher as a tool with a sample of eight participants which consisted war veterans. The findings were presented in narrative form; thematic analysis was used through interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA). Lack of participation had negative consequences for the specific programme objectives, and also for the wider peacebuilding project to which DDR is meant to contribute. Inaccurate information, lack of consultation, failures in programme delivery, and misappropriation of funds all of which were closely linked to the lower rungs of the ladder of participation had negative consequences for the rebuilding of social capital and identification with the new system of governance and accountability which is part of the countries’ transition from armed conflict to peace. The research concluded that failure to recognize the political dimension adequately at the policy level has also meant that the issue has been poorly dealt with at the local level by implementers of reintegration programs. reintegration was not properly conducted in Zimbabwe and war veterans would remain isolated from society if no proper measures are taken. The research suggests it was the government’s responsibility to implement a framework for reintegration of war veterans and war victims through reconstruction, rehabilitation, resettlement, empowerment and social security programmes.

The Reintegration of War Veterans: Challenges and Their Implications for Zimbabwe
Shadreck P.M. Makombe – August 2020 Page No.: 653-659
The research sought to assess the reintegration of war veterans into the society, the challenges and their implications. In trying to find solutions to the research problem, the researcher examined the nature of the relationship between the war veterans and society in Zimbabwe and to determine how war veterans were being reintegrated into the society after returning from the war. The research method used was qualitative approach and the data was generated through the use of face-to-face interviews, focus group discussions and the researcher as a tool with a sample of eight participants which consisted war veterans. The research singled out that reintegration of war veterans had resulted in a complex process which raises many moral, practical, and operational questions. It was ultimately the remaking of relationships on many levels, not only between individuals, communities, and states, but within all of these entities as well. This research shows that participatory approaches in the Zimbabwe Disarmament, Demobilisation and Reintegration DDR programmes fell short in meeting their objectives. Lack of participation had negative consequences for the specific programme objectives, and also for the wider peacebuilding project to which DDR is meant to contribute. The research concluded that reintegration was not properly conducted in Zimbabwe and war veterans would remain isolated from society if no proper measures are taken

Improvisation of 3-Dimensional Instructional Model to Enhance the Learning Process in Fine Arts
BABATUNDE, Christopher Femi – August 2020 Page No.: 660-664
The paper examined the improvisation of three-dimensional instructional model to enhance the learning process in Fine Arts. It reviews the concept of improvisation and possible goals of improvisation in teaching and learning processes. Furthermore, it looks into the reason for 3-D instructional materials and the two categories of media, primarily three dimensional, models and puppets and other kinds of three dimensional instructional models such as Dioramas, mock-ups, Television, Radio, Computer, Overhead projectors etc. the study went ahead to explain the importance of three dimensional instructional model in teaching and learning fine arts, such as arousal of interest, retention of knowledge and power, saves time and Improvement of quality of instruction. Also, the source of this paper was secondary source such as, journals, articles, books and internet browsing. The study concluded that Fine Art teachers should adopt the use of improvisation to complement the standard materials in the teaching of Fine Art; Learners should be engaged in the process of improvising instructional materials; Students should be encouraged with the help of the teacher to assembly locally made materials resources which should be used in the teaching of Fine Art. This will help to reduce the abstract nature of the subject as some of the suggestions given in this paper.

Causality between Manufacturing Efficiency, Energy Use and Economic Growth in Nigeria
Olabode Eric Olabisi (Ph.D) – August 2020 Page No.: 671-675
Studies on whether manufacturing productivity with interaction of energy use promotes economic growth are of cardinal importance as a result of the fact that energy use measured in kilogramme of oil equivalent per capita is a major factor that engineers the growth of manufacturing productivity. Using the unrestricted Vector Auto-regression (VAR) approach, the study examines the causality between manufacturing productivity, energy use and economic growth in Nigeria from 1985 to 2018. The Augmented Dickey Fuller unit-root tests, Pairwise and Wald test statistics Granger causality tests were employed. Results reveal two-way causality between manufacturing productivity and economic growth in Nigeria. While economic growth and manufacturing productivity (MP) Granger cause energy use (EU) and not vice versa, jointly examined, MP and EU promote growth in Nigeria, GDP and EU promote MP, and GDP combined with MP enhances the use of energy in Nigeria. It is therefore recommended that adequate energy supply should be made available to the manufacturing sector for meaningful economic growth to occur in Nigeria.

Traditional Games Engklek as a Medium to Increase Self-Control in School-Aged Children in Indonesia
Iswinarti- August 2020 Page No.: 676-682
Self-control is a personal ability to control emotions and cognitive as well as the decision-making processes that lead to positive behavior in order to achieve the expected goals. Self-control is needed to deal with various problems in daily life. Various attempts were made to be able to practice self-control; one of them was through the traditional game Engklek (hopscotch) game. The traditional game Engklek contains useful values in self-control. This study aims to determine the effect of traditional games Engklek as a medium to improve children’s self-control. This study used a quasi-experimental method with pretest and posttest control group design. The research subjects were 54 grade-5th elementary school students who are divided into three groups. The first group was given the treatment of traditional games of Payung and Sorok Engklek. The second group was given the treatment of traditional games Payung and Engklek Pa’a. The third group as a control group that was not given any treatment. Data analysis used the ANOVA test to compare self-control in the three groups and paired-test to compare the pretest and posttest in self-control scores. The results showed that there was self-control increasing of the children who were treated by traditional games Engklek Payung, Sorok, and Pa’a.

Legal Protection of Indonesia Budget User Authority in Using the State Budget
Achmad Setyo Pudjoharsoyo – August 2020 Page No.: 683-686
the research stems from the recent prevalence of corruption cases in budgeting that is revealed by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). Many institutions are afraid and reluctant to absorb budget, primarily in the procurement of goods and services. It makes the budget absorption lower because many budget user authorities are afraid to execute the policy. It is not surprising since the consequences of the policy are often biased and mistargeted. The related officials then are frequently dragged to a legal case and even go to jail. The research is a descriptive analysis that used a normative juridical method. The object was approached using a stature approach. The research found that searching for legal protection is searching for regularity in the basic legal values, e.g., usefulness, justice, and certainty of law. The law mission to protect human right and interest have a high authority to define human right that should be regulated and protected

Legitimacy of the Policies of Humanitarian Interventions
Vardaan Shekhawat – August 2020 Page No.: 687-691
Driven by fundamental national interests hidden under the garb of universal welfare and protection of human rights. Humanitarian Interventions have become one of the biggest sources of tension, contention and dis-harmony in the international arena. This paper therefore, seeks to understand the nuances of mandated and unmadated interventions, dealing with the dilemma of their legitimacy by attempting to realize the trade-off between protecting rights and guaranteeing sovereignty which comes with its own risks when looked at from a realist perspective. Therefore, the paper seeks to clearly define interventions, lay out a historical analysis, put forth legal and institutional contentions vis-a-vis interventions by looking at roles of international bodies in regulating and governing such intervention and thereafter puts forth a conclusive narrative and value-judgement on humanitarian interventions based on the afore mentioned study

Indigenous Settlement Types among the Mbum of the Nkambe, Plateau of Cameroon: Continuity and Change
Talla Richard Tanto – August 2020 Page No.: 697-703
One of the many ways in which man has over the years been striving to adapt to his changing natural environment, so as to ensure his continuous survival, has been in the domain of settlement or housing technology. The environmental changes demanded adjustments to man’ s technology associated with his shelter, and as a consequence, a lot as to what concerns the true nature of indigenous settlements have been gradually disappearing with time. This paper therefore, tries to reconstruct, for purposes of posterity, the nature of indigenous types of shelters of the Mbum ethnic group on the Nkambe Plateau of Cameroon. Oral traditions, archaeological ruins found at the archaeological/historical Mbum site of Mbajeng, and ethnographic research provided the data for the research. It was discovered that the Mbum have three main indigenous types of settlement architecture, most of which have either been modified or become extinct over the years. The first consist of houses constructed with sun-dried blocks and thatched with grass; the second with bamboos, sticks and also thatched with grass, while, the third had circularly arranged stones also thatched with grass. The last two are gradually dying out while the first is being modified with zinc roofs and walls plastered with cement and sand. In the light of these disappearing indigenous housing structures, the paper concludes that Africans should borrow only alien technology, which when blended with local technology, ensures their sustainability and existence as a people.

Teaching Challenging Topics in English Language, Mathematics and Natural Science in Primary School Using Creative Arts Methods
Betty Essuman, Akosua Tachie-Menson, Harry Barton Essel, Albert Essuman – August 2020 Page No.: 704-713
Purpose: The integration of the creative arts into individual subjects in primary school education enhances the teaching of challenging topics in those subjects. However, teachers teach subjects individually without the integration of creatives hindering the understanding of students during lessons. This study focused on the teaching of “challenging to teach topics” in three subjects: English Language, Mathematics and Natural Science using creative art methods.
Design/methodology/approach: A sample of 261 respondents was purposively selected for the study. The sample involved basic school students from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology Primary School. Besides, the study employed interviews and observation to gather qualitative data.
Findings: The study found that the teachers used textual materials without interactive activities during teaching. Also, the teachers employed the lecture method of teaching topics which made it difficult for students to understand the lessons. The introduction of creative arts to teach the “Challenging to teach topics” positively influenced class participation and engagement and subsequently, the academic performance of the students. The study recommended that the teachers should adopt child-centred teaching strategies such as hands-on activities and the use of visual aids to cater to students with different learning abilities. Finally, the School should organise professional development programmes for primary school teachers on the integration of creative arts to teach the “challenging to teach topics”.
Originality/value: To the authors’ knowledge, no study has been conducted to examine the teaching of English Language, Mathematics and Science with creative arts methods, especially using teacher-and-student made illustrations in Ghana. Therefore, this study explores the use of creative arts to enhance the teaching of challenging topics in English Language, Mathematics and Natural Sciences in a selected basic school in Ghana.

Exploring Right to Reparation of Indigenous Peoples: A Comparative Study between Land Claims in USA and International Perspectives
Rakiba Nabi – August 2020 Page No.: 714-730
The centuries-long Native American’s history of forced dispossession, relocation, land-grabbing poses significant challenges to their property rights even at present. Beginning from the 15th century to the present, the journey of land-theft and forced dispossession of native Americans continued and colonial governments legalized the loss of land via the doctrine of discovery, conquest, terra nullius, and congressional plenary power. The Native American communities still encounter the infringements of their most basic land rights with which native people have extraordinary, unique relationship. Tribal peoples’ close ties with land such as the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe determines their ways of life, reflects their culture, values, spirituality and physical existence. Dispossession is destructive not only to their physical structures, but also it damages their mental stability, belief, religious sentiment and after all their physical as well as spiritual world.

The Linguistic Study of the Contemporary Context of Vedda Language with Special Reference to Dambana, Sri Lanka
Dr. R.A.D. Priyanka Weerasekara – August 2020 Page No.: 737-741
The intent of this research is to examine the contemporary context of Vedda Language from the linguistic point of view, based on their overall socio-cultural background. The most popularly accepted theory on Vedda Language is a regional dialect of the Sinhala Language or a Creole and that there is no separate Vedda Language. Due to inadequate data of the original Vedda Language, it is difficult to identify the proper linguistic context of the early stage of Vedda Language. However the existing linguistic features of Vedda prove that the original Vedda Language is a simple hunting language. The findings of the research show the present day Vedda has borrowed not only lexical stocks but also sounds, grammar, and meaning from dominant languages, significantly from colloquial Sinhalese. These linguistic results of language contact induce it has become an extreme language mixture and the current situation of Vedda language is severely endangered. This research is based on Qualitative Empirical Research Methodology and the Participant Observation Method based on Case Study has been used for data elicitation.

Marxist Humanism and Gender Equity in Ngugi WA Thiong’o’s Petals of Blood and Osi Ogbu’s The Moon Also Sets
Elizabeth Nasipwoni Wekesa, Dr. Felix Orina, Dr. Joseph Musungu – August 2020 Page No.: 755-762
The purpose of this paper is to explore Ngugi wa Thiong’o’s and Osi Ogbu’s stance on gender. Against the backdrop of patriarchy in both Western and African societies, there has been an intense debate with regards to resolving gender inequality without reaching consensus since most of the existing feminist views have proved controversial and divisive. This paper is a continuation of this debate and specifically focuses on two African male postcolonial feminist artists whose humanist and afroeuropean approaches seem to tackle more wholesomely the issue of social justice and equity in their selected fiction. These approaches embrace co-operation and complementarity between men and women. Apart from gender inequality, the paper is cognizant of the fact that postcolonies grapple with hegemonic capitalism and its resultant exploitation and social oppression. To attain social emancipation, Ngugi and Osi, envision alternative agents in their fictional universes into which the present paper seeks to delve. The humanist element contained in African feminism addressed patriarchy whereas Marxist feminist postulations addressed capitalistic hegemonies. The literature review focused on the works of authors and literary critics who have analyzed works on gender and capitalism. This paper concludes that men and women can have a peaceful co-existence. Secondly African humanist approaches to gender are viable in resolving social and gender conflicts. Finally, men and women should be treated equitably because people are endowed with different potentials which are not dependent on sex.

The Challenges of Asset Management in Institutions of Higher Education in Masvingo Province, Zimbabwe
Mudyazhezha Eddine Edson, Mudyazhezha Olivia Constance – August 2020 Page No.: 763-776
This study focused on asset management in Institutions of Higher learning in Masvingo Province in Zimbabwe. The study was motivated by the fact that there is improper asset management in higher educational institutions in Zimbabwe. The study was to establish the types of assets (human, financial, facilities) required by Institutions of Higher Education in Zimbabwe in Masvingo Province. The second research objective was to assess the extent of the inadequacy of assets at the Institutions. The third research objective was to assess the current strategies for asset management at these Institutions. The fourth research objective was to isolate the challenges faced in asset management and the last research objective was to propose options for ensuring effective management and the adequacy of required assets at Institutions of Higher learning in Masvingo Province, Zimbabwe. The study used mixed methods and there was both quantitative and qualitative data. The research was centred on Institutions of Higher learning in Masvingo Province, Zimbabwe. The population was made up of 3200 academic and non-academic staff in Institutions of Higher learning in Masvingo Province and 8 Zimbabwe Congress of Students Union (ZICOSU) executive members, and 10 Zimbabwe National Student Union (ZINASU) executive members. There was use of simple stratified random sampling technique when selecting participants from the academic and non-academic staff in Institutions of Higher learning. There was use of ‘fish bowl’ method to select 10 non-academic staff members and 36 academic staff members. The study also sought the opinions of key stakeholders such as the Zimbabwe Congress of Students Union (ZICOSU) and Zimbabwe National Student Union (ZINASU). There was use of questionnaires and interviews to collect data for this study. Quantitative data analysis was conducted through use of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) while qualitative data was analysed using thematic analysis. The study found out that assets like financial resources, furniture, and ICT hardware and software were said to be highly significant. Most of the assets that are required by Institutions of Higher learning were inadequate. There were financial resource, human resource, technology, and facilities plans. The research showed that Masvingo Polytechnic College has adequate structures for asset management. Financial resources were a major challenge affecting asset management at Masvingo Polytechnic College. The study concluded that there was inadequacy of the required assets and it was recommended that these institutions could engage in income generating projects, for example agriculture, to finance asset acquisition. Partnerships with private companies, which could provide assets like student accommodation can also be explored. There was a need to fully embrace the concept of results based management in asset management.

Marital Status and Educational Background as Determinants of Tax Compliance in Nigeria
Aregbesola, O.D, Owosekun, A.O & Salawu, R.O- August 2020 Page No.: 777-783
This study analysed the influence of marital status and educational background of the tax payers on Personal Income Tax compliance in Nigeria.
The study employed a cross-sectional design which made use of a structured questionnaire. The population of the study comprised of employees who were 18 years and above in the public and private organizations as well as artisans and traders to represent the informal sector. The Taro Yamane formular was used to determine the sample size of 400 which was distributed among the three Southwestern states selected namely, Lagos, Oyo and Osun using proportionate sampling technique. Data were analysed using percentages, mean, standard deviation and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Findings showed that marital status significantly influence personal income tax compliance in Nigeria (P=0.005) and mean scores showed that singles were more compliant than other categories of marital status, like the married and divorced. Also, educational background does not significantly influence personal income tax compliance (P=0.338).
The study concluded that in order for the government to achieve a desirable level of tax compliance among the populace, there is need for government to encourage the populace. Furthermore, the tax law should be more explicit and positioned in such a way as to improve its applicability.

Relevance of Philosophy to Any Discipline
Charles C. Nweke, Vera A. Uyanwune – August 2020 Page No.: 784-788
The quest for the utility or futility of Philosophy is a fundamental concern on the general relevance of Philosophy especially in a world that currently progresses on the provisions of post-modernity. The advancements of science and technology, the progress and achievements of some disciplines within the fields of humanities all tend to engender relative indifference to Philosophy which is sometimes considered abstract, speculative and as a career, non-professional and less lucrative.This paper attempts to establish the efficacy of Philosophy by drawing its significance to any discipline using the tools of Phenomenology and Critical analysis. The paper argues that the value of philosophy to any field is partly factored on its receptiveness and appreciation in the benefitting discipline. The paper finds that Philosophy mostly provides the fundamental principles that underpin various disciplines and continues to play often indispensable roles in various academic and practical fields of human endeavor.In the field of Law, Jurisprudence is essential for formulation of legal theories. In the field of Education, Philosophy is crucial in the areas of pedagogy, educational foundations, management and policies. Ethics is relevant to all facets of life. Within its own academic field, there is philosophy of virtually all disciplines which questions fundamental assumptions of such disciplines. Thus, Philosophy’s relevance remains ineluctable.

Testing and Interpreting Correlation, Moderation and Mediation Effects in Social Science Researches
T. L. Sajeevanie- August 2020 Page No.: 789-795
Most of the researchers in positivist paradigm develop conceptual frameworks to test the research hypotheses. In a quantitative study it is very common to identify the relationship between independent and dependent variables. In addition to that, most of the conceptual models consist of moderating and mediating variables. Hence, it is very critical to test these effects and similarly it is very serious, as to how to interpret, the test results properly. Hence, the objectives of this study are; to explain the correlation, moderating and mediating effects; to explain how to interpret the test results of correlation, moderation and mediating effects in a social science research.

Are Entrepreneurship Theories From Developed Countries Applicable In Developing Countries?
Dr. Sangurah Ramari Mukhebi Robbert (PhD)- August 2020 Page No.: 815-818
The varied views within the field as to definitions and frameworks suggest that entrepreneurship lacks a universal definition, and it is a paradigm of deliberate behavior. Heterogeneity in definition has permitted borrowing of theories from fields like economics, sociology, and psychology among others to anchor entrepreneurship research. Most of these theories have originated from developed countries, raising questions on their applicability in developing countries. This study sought to test if niche entrepreneurship policy (promotions and resource support) mediate in the relationship between women entrepreneurs’ profile and their entrepreneurial activity, anchoring the study on psychological and resource-based theories. It adapted a Positivist Paradigm and used a Quantitative Multi-method approach. Structured questionnaires were used to collect data. Through multi-stage sampling, a sample of 375 adult female entrepreneurs participated in the study. Data was analyzed through correlation coefficient and coefficient of determination. The hypotheses testing results revealed there being significant direct and indirect relationships between and among variables. For example, the correlation coefficient results for the first hypothesis (H01); R2=.2374, p= .025 meant that 24% change in the rate of new start-ups initiated was attributed to promotional efforts. Also, the coefficient of determination results for the seventh hypothesis (H07); k2= .0766, 95% BCa CI (.0007, .0633) and b= .001, z= .7134, p= .4756); meant that 8% change in the rate of new start-ups initiated was due to the mediation influence of promotional efforts between the female entrepreneurs’ motives and their rate of starting new MSEs.

Moderating Effect of Business Size and Age on the Relationship between Financial Literacy and Financial Performance of Craft Micro Enterprises in Kisii County, Kenya
Dr. Kenyanya Patrick Nyatete, Ph.D., Dr. Mule Robert Kisavi, Ph.D. – August 2020 Page No.: 819-823
Craft micro enterprises contribute up to 20% to employment and 15% to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in emerging economies through tax revenue and foreign exchange. In spite of funding and training interventions by stakeholders, statistics indicate that financial performance of craft micro enterprises is on a rapid decline, especially in the soapstone-based micro enterprises in Kisii, which poses a risk to both Kenya’s GDP, and the many residents in the area who depend on the industry for survival. Although several studies have attempted to establish the cause of this poor performance, the endogenisation of both business size and age as moderating factors on the relationship between financial literacy and financial performance of the craft micro enterprises in Kisii has received far less attention empirically. The objective of the present study was therefore to investigate the moderating effect of business size and age on the relationship between financial literacy and financial performance of the craft micro enterprises. Using a correlational research design, the study targeted 532 entrepreneurs operating under 23 registered self-help groups. Stratified random sampling was employed to select 228 respondents for the study. Primary data was collected using structured questionnaires. Results showed that business size has a significant moderating effect on the relationship between financial literacy and financial performance of the craft micro enterprises. It is recommended that stakeholders in the craft industry in the soapstone industry should enhance financial literacy trainings to the entrepreneurs and increase financing to grow the enterprises if they seek to improve their financial performance.

This is where the task of a teacher as an implementer of education in schools plays a role, namely to formulate strategies by arranging the functions of each teaching component into an effective and efficient teaching system so that maximum educational goals are achieved.

Nurhanim Saadah Abdullah, Sri Sumarwati, Azidah Abu Ziden, Nordin Abd Razak, Mohd Ismail Abd Aziz- August 2020 Page No.: 831-835
The 21st Century education requires a holistic transformation in terms of infrastructure, knowledge, and teaching strategies that encourage a more complex thinking process. Life and career skills are essential to both learning and work in the 21st century. The purpose of this study is to determine the difference between life skills and career skills of flexibility and adaptability, initiative and self-directed skills, social skills and cross-cultural skills, productivity and accountability, responsibility, and leadership, between Polytechnic students in Malaysia. This study used a quantitative research approach. The respondents consisted of 527 students at the Polytechnic diploma in Malaysia, which is determined using stratified random sampling. Data was collected using a questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed by t-test and ANOVA using SPSS version 21. The results of this study show that there is a significant difference between the flexibility and adaptability skills possessed by the students in different types of polytechnics in Malaysia. However, this study found that there is no significant difference between the initiative and self-direction skills, social and cross-cultural skills, productivity and accountability skills, responsibility, and leadership skills possessed by the students in different types of polytechnics in Malaysia. Therefore, researchers suggest that future researchers explore other critical elements of Work Readiness with 21st-century skills for polytechnic students in Malaysia.
