Abdulsalam Nasiru, Kaoje (Ph.D), Abubakar Sabo, Yabo(Ph.D), Modibbo, Abubakar, Abdulhadi, Nanafirdausi – January 2020 Page No.: 06-13
This paper assess forensic accounting and firms’ performance using return on asset, return on equity and net profit margin. The objectives of the paper is to determine the relationship between forensic accounting and firms’ performance. The paper adopted the survey approach. Population consist of all the administration staff of Cement Company of Northern Nigeria. Respondents were chosen using the purposive sampling method. Primary data were used to elicit quantitative data from respondents using a structured questionnaire. The questionnaires were distributed to a sample size of thirty four respondents which were correctly filled and returned. Multiple Regression Analysis was used with the aid of Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) to analyze and determine the relationship between forensic accounting and firms’ performance (ROA, ROE and NPM). The findings of the paper revealed that forensic accounting is positively and significantly related to return on asset, return on equity and net profit margin. The correlation coefficient (r) in the respective hypotheses indicated strong positive relationship between the variables. Also, the coefficient of determination (r2) in all the hypotheses revealed that more than 79% of variation in forensic accounting was explained by Return on Asset, Return on Equity and Net Profit Margin. The paper recommends that the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria and Association of National Accountants of Nigeria should encourage formalization and specialization in the field forensic accounting. In addition, government should develop interest in forensic accounting for monitoring and investigation of suspected corruption cases. The paper further recommends that government should encourage the practice of forensic accounting by providing adequate training and resources to forensic accountants such that they become an expert in their particular field of expertise.

The Effect of Institutional Quality on Export performance of Middle East & North-Africa Region
Abdikarim Bashir Jama – January 2020 – Page No.: 14-20
The paper investigates the relevance of governance indicators for the export performance of the Middle East and North African (MENA) members of countries. Voice and accountability, political stability and regulatory quality are introduced in an augmented gravity model with a panel data set over 2010-2017. All institutional variables display an insignificant association with export performance except political stability and absence of violence that becomes significant with MENA exports, whereby it has the largest influence. Therefore, to conclude the governments should give high precedence to develop broad policy reforms that encourage institutional development and trade within the region and at the global level to enhance the global competitive position of the MENA region.

Abdulsalam Nasiru, Kaoje(Ph.D), Abubakar Sabo, Yabo (Ph.D), Ahmad, Musbahu Bunza – January 2020 Page No.: 21-29
This paper examined the impact of tax revenue on aggregate and disaggregate on economic growth in Nigeria covering a period of forty years (1979-2018). A purposive sampling technique was also used, adopting aARDL model. The result showed that Value Added Tax (VAT) has significance effect on gross domestic product with coefficient 0.4675 at 5% level of significance. Personal Income Tax (PIT) also has a positive significant effect on economic growth with coefficient 0.1975 with p-value of 5% level of significant. The overall result showed significant effect of tax revenue on aggregate on economic growth. The study then concluded that there is urgent need for government to prioritize her needs as petroleum revenue continues to decrease. Therefore the study recommends that government should try to diversify the economy as revenue generated from petroleum should be used to develop other sectors of income generation.

Flipped Learning Model and Pre-Service Teachers’ Computer Literacy Performance in Ghanaian Colleges of Education
Dzakpasu Prince Edem, Cynthia Adjartey – January 2020 Page No.: 30-36
This empirical work was basically designed to investigate possible impacts of flipped learning technique on academic performance of colleges of education student in Computer Literacy course. Two research questions and two hypotheses were designed to guide the research which was conducted on population of 1800 student in the two colleges of education in Ghana.Multiple sample technique was used to sample one school and two intact classes used that comprised of (experimental class comprised of 45 students while the control class comprised of 51students) for the research.Mean and Standard Deviation were used to answer research questions while hypotheses were tested using Analysis of Covariant. (ANCOVA) Reliability of instrument used for data collection was tested using Pearson Moment Correlation Co-efficient and reliability index value was 0.78The result of the analysis revealed that there is significant difference between performance of students taught Computer Literacy using flipped learning model and students taught same course using conventional learning method. It was therefore concluded that students taught Computer Literacy using flipped model performed better than students taught using conventional or Lecture method and that gender effect does not moderate performance of students taught Computer Literacy using flipped learning model. It was therefore recommended that colleges of education in Ghana should introduce flipped learning model into the teaching of Computer Literacy because flipped learning model has proven to be better than conventional or Lecture method and is not gender dependent.

Career Aspirations of Bachelor of Education (Early Grade) Students
Kwadwo Oteng Akyina – January 2020 Page No.: 37-41
The study was carried out to find out the careers aspired for by B. Ed. (Early Grade) students. Employing descriptive survey design, 397 Early Grade students were purposively sampled for the study. A self-made questionnaire was used to collect the data. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics and independent samples t-test. The study revealed that most students had moderate 259 (65.2%) knowledge of careers in Early Grade. Most of them 165 (41.6%) aspired to teach in preschools after completing the programme. Significant difference was found between the career aspirations of West Africa Senior Secondary Certificate Examination and Diploma in Education certificate holders pursuing the programme but no difference was found in terms of gender. An implication drawn was that most of the students should be employed to teach in preschools on completion of the programme since that is their aspired career.

Predictive Powers of Burnout and Self-Compassion on Job Performance of Secondary School Teachers in Rivers State, Nigeria
Jones-Erue, Deborah & P.U. Ekeh- January 2020 Page No.: 42-46
The study investigated the predictive powers of burnout and self-compassion on job performance of secondary school teachers in Rivers State, Nigeria. Two research questions and two null hypotheses guided the study. The study adopted a correlation research design. The population of the study comprised all the 14,233 (6,830 male and 7403 female) teachers in the 247 public secondary schools in Rivers State. The sample size of the study was 845 (367 male and 478 female) teachers. The proportionate stratified sampling technique was used to arrive at the sample size. Three instruments titled “Self-Compassion Scale” (SCS), “Teachers’ Burnout Scale” (TBS) and Teachers’ Job Performance Scale (TJPS) were used for data collection. Face, content and construct validities were ensured. The reliability coefficients of 0.80, 0.71 and 0.86 for TBS, SCS, TJPS were determined using Cronbach alpha. Simple regression was used to answer the research questions while the hypotheses were tested with t-test associated with simple regression. It was found that the predictive powers of burnout and self-compassion on job performance of teachers were 18.6% and 55.4%. Moreso, burnout and self-compassion are significant predictors of teachers’ job performance in public secondary schools in Rivers State, Nigeria. It was recommended that school principals should routinely utilize the services of Psychologist to mentor and manage the stress levels of the teachers before they degenerate to burnout. A friendly and enabling environment should be provided by the Principals in order to enhance teachers’ compassion.

Effect of Parent-Child Communication Patterns on Junior Secondary School Students’ Self-Esteem in Mathematics
Chigozie O. Anibueze, Chika C. Ugwuanyi – January 2020 Page No.: 47-53
The study determined the effect of parent-child communication patterns on Junior Secondary School students’ achievement in mathematics. The study was guided by three (3) research questions and four (4) research hypotheses that were tested at 0.05 levels of significance. The design of the study is ex-post facto or causal comparative research design. The population of this study was four thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven (4867) Junior Secondary School 3 (JSS3) students in Enugu Education zone as at 2018/2019 academic session. The sample size of this study was three hundred and seventy (370) Junior Secondary School 3 (JSS3) students in four (4) sampled co-educational secondary schools in Enugu Education zone. The instrument used for data collection was Parental-Communication Pattern on Students’ Achievement and Self-esteem (PCPSAS) questionnaire that was developed by the researchers. The instrument was validated by three (3) experts in the Department of Science Education, University of Nigeria, Nsukka. The reliability of the instrument was calculated as 0.83 using Chronbach Alpha. The data collected were analyzed using mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions while the hypotheses were tested using Analysis of Covariance at 0.05 level of significance. The study discovered that most parents adopted laissez-faire communication patterns as regards to their wards’ learning of Mathematics which made their wards to have low self-esteem in mathematics. The study also, discovered that there was no significant difference between the mean self-esteem scores of students whose parents adopted the different parent-child communication patterns on the students’ learning of Mathematics and there was also, no significant interaction between gender of students and their parent-child communication patterns on students’ mathematics self-esteem scores. Hence, the study recommended that parents and mathematics should adopt pluralistic or consensual parent-child communication patterns on their wards as regards to their wards’ learning of Mathematics in order to boost their self esteem in Mathematics.

Bamileke Diasporas*: Aetiological Consideration Of The Bamileke Implantation In The Bamenda Grasslands (Cameroon), 1922-1961
Roland Mba Komo (PhD)- January 2020 Page No.: 59-65
When the Germans were defeated and evicted out of Cameroon by the combined British and French troops, the failure to implement the Condominium led to the partition of Cameroon into two between the British and the French. With this partition, the borders were closed for both the mobility of goods and persons either ways. This partition was approved by the League of Nations in 1922. From 1922 when the League of Nation’s Mandate started in the British Southern Cameroons and in the French Cameroon, to 1961 when the Southern Cameroons voted to reunify with the Republic of Cameroon (former French Cameroon), the hitherto fluid relations between the two territories was hindered. The study examines the motives for the migration and implantation of the Bamileke in to the Bamenda Grasslands. It maintains that in spite of the restrictions of international boundary between the two Mandate and Trust territories of French Cameroon and British Southern Cameroons, cross border mobility was not forestalled. Prevailing circumstances in French Cameroon permitted the Bamileke to create new social spaces straddling the artificially imposed frontiers. Using the chronological approach, the paper spans through key historical periods: the Mandate and Trusteeship periods. The study made use of primary and secondary sources of information. The conclusions were drawn after a qualitative analysis of the data.

Assessing the Effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy on Depressive Symptoms among Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Patients Receiving Fertility Treatment
Umeaku, Ndubuisi N., Prof. Harry Obi-Nwosu and Anolue, Chima C. – January 2020 Page No.: 66-72
This study examined the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) on Depressive Symptoms among Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Patients Receiving Fertility Treatment in Enugu State. The purpose of the study was generally to determine whether CBT will relieve depressive symptoms among PCOS patients that are receiving fertility treatment in the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH), Itukwu-Ozalla, Enugu State. A total of 30 patients from the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Itukwu-Ozalla, Enugu (UNTH) served as the participants in the study. Their ages ranged from eighteen (18) to forty-seven (47) years and their mean age is 33.2. The standard deviation of their age is 8.96. One instrument (Symptom Checklist) developed by Derogatis, Lipman and Covi (1977), was employed in the research; the depression domain (Domain D) of the SCL 90. There were two Groups for the study; A and B. The members of Group A were given CBT, but Group B received not any treatment; each member of Group A was administered CBT (brief CBT) individually based on their arrival and Group B members did not receive any treatment but, served as a control for group A. Pretest-posttest between group experimental design was employed and T-Test statistics was adopted for testing the postulated hypothesis. The results indicated that the hypothesis which stated that CBT will significantly relieve depressive symptoms among PCOS patients receiving fertility treatment when compared with controls was confirmed at t(28)= -4.088, p=000. Finally, limitations of the study were stated and it suggested that more research should be done in the aspect of applying other approaches of psychotherapies on the same population to ascertain their effects in order to broaden psychotherapeutical options. Also, clinical psychologists should delve into this area of research in order to provide succor to these group of patients.

Microfinance Wolves Strike on Multiple Borrowing and Loan Repayment
D. Ravichandran – January 2020 Page No.: 73-77
Studies on multiple loans and their effect on repayment of loans between clients and the sustainability of microfinance providers show conflicting results. Some studies indicate that multiple indebtedness has a positive effect on loan repayment and Micro Finance Institutions(MFIs) sustainability, while others show that it leads to over-indebtedness and, consequently, non-compliance with the loan. Therefore, this study analyzed the incidence of multiple loans, the reasons for multiple loans and the effects of multiple loans on loan repayment in Batticaloa District. The target population comprised a total of 22,645 loan borrowers out of which a sample of 100 was picked using simple random sampling, which enable every member of the population have an equal and independent chance of being selected as respondents and also simplest, most convenient and bias free selection method. The data was collected by use of self-developed questionnaire issued to the microcredit borrowers, in depth interviews had with microcredit group leaders and MFIs’ Manager and staff. Results showed that prevalence of multiple borrowing at Batticaloa District was very high. Over 85% of the 100 microfinance clients had at least two loans from different MFIs at the same time. In addition, about 47% also borrowed from individual lenders. Major reasons for multiple borrowing were loan recycling, insufficient loans from MFIs, and family obligations. Over 65% of the respondents had problems in loan repayment because of multiple pending loans. Researcher found that age group and number of dependents of the respondent significantly influenced the number of loan contracts.

Relationship between the Executive, the Legislature and the Judiciary in the Nigerian Fourth Republic as an Engine of an Unbalanced One: A Study of 1999-2019
Mahmud Mohammed Momoh – January 2020 Page No.: 78-93
It is probable that the philosopher Baron de Montesquieu meant that power between the legislative, executive and judicial arms of government should not overlap or ultravire their limits when he proposed the principles of separation of power in his; The Spirit of the Laws in 1748. More also, it was part of the resolve to ensure that the might of the three arms of government does not become a common band against the aspiration and freedom of the vast majority of the people that A.V Dicey proposed the need for a system of checks and balances as one of the cardinal element or principle of democracy. Through a careful research of Nigeria’s democratic journey since 1999, what becomes apparently plain is a situation of executive overrides over the other two arms of government- the legislature and the judiciary. A cross section of academicians has in part or in whole blamed the executive for the abysmal termination of the tenure of principal officials of the legislature. Between 1999 and 2007 Evan Enwerem, Chuba Okadigbo and Adulphos Warabara lost their seats respectively as senate presidents while Salisu Buhari and indeed Patricia Etteh (September 2007) lost their positions as speakers of the House of Representatives over corruption related charges. The judiciary has as well accused the executive of using its arm the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to witch-hunt its principal officer. A case in point is the latest sacking of the Chief Justice of Nigeria Walter Onnogen on 18th April, 2019. On its own part, the executive has blamed the legislature of some unwholesome incidence such as budget padding. The executive also blames the judiciary for delay is granting justice on certain cases requiring urgent delivery of justice.

Enhancing Effectiveness of Public Services Performance through Performance Contracts in Rwanda
NDAGIJIMANA Ibrahim – January 2020 Page No.: 94-111
In the past, globally Rwanda meant simply a totally failed State with a historical horror of the 1994 genocide against Tutsis where innocent Tutsis estimative to more than a million. In fact, 1,070,014 as per CNLG (2019) been killed in a just hundred days, this made Rwanda completely in political, social and economic collapse situation. Simply, Rwanda has been among the country that Rwanda was hard hit to bottom and needed its full strength to rebuild fast. In such spot of atrocities and fragility, innovations would much help a country to survive, re-shine and have its own voice on global scene, and government would much concentrate on providing necessary needed services to its citizen’s after the utterly failed of international community to prevent and stop that atrocity which led to international inaction. Due to this, Public management in Rwanda has been a challenge and instituted various ambitious reforms has been undergoing with aim to re establish state institutions and reorganize the public administration to improve better service delivery to the citizens who is at center of every government action, and none has born better results than performance contracting. In an effort to improve service delivery, the RPF-led government began different reforms including decentralization policy under which the new arrangement, all leaders from central up to local government were responsible for implementing performance contract “Imihigo” signed between them and HE President of the Republic of Rwanda. Since 2006, an innovative scheme known as “Imihigo” introduced as a tool to speed up national development.

Contemporary Expressions of Populism for Gender Equality in Ghana
Janet Serwah Boateng – January 2020 Page No.: 112-119
Populist expressions create spaces to enhance fair representation in decision-making positions and gender equality in political positions. This study aims at creating awareness about populism, gender equality and women political representation and empowerment. It seeks to sensitise Ghanaians about the need to facilitate the participation of women in local and national governments. The study used secondary data sources and employed desk stop analysis to analyse populist expressions that geared towards equality in the Ghanaian society. The results show that populist mobilisation has been appealing to ‘the people’ against the government (‘the elite’), because governments, politicians and political parties have paid lip services to the world’s agendas for gender equality. The study shows that populists’ expressions have been impactful in improving women’s consciousness to empower themselves politically. Populists’ styles and activism as expressed in the media, and women’s efforts to win support from the electorate are creating awareness for equity in the Ghanaian political society. The implications are that the populists’ appeal to the people against the governments supports the recognition of gender equality, and the appointment of more women into political positions as well as the sensitisation of the abolition of discrimination in the Ghanaian society to empower women.

The Families and Relative’s Effort in Supporting the Treatment and Rehabilitation of the Youth That Support the Relapse Prevention
Bakari .A. Mohammed, Dr. John Msindai, Dr. Zelda Elisifa Sam – January 2020 Page No.: 120-124
The main objective of the study was to assess the factors leading to relapse of substance abuse among the youth after their rehabilitation in Tanzania. Specifically the study sought to identify the families and relative’s effort in supporting the treatment and rehabilitation of the youth that support the relapse prevention. The study employed mixed research design and used different methods of data collection which included questionnaires that used to collect the data from the youth who had the history of using the substance abuse and relapse , the in-depth interview used to the total youth who were relapsed at the time of data collection , and Focus group Discussion(FGD) was used to collect the data from the parents and relatives of the youth and the staffs working at the rehabilitation centre at Methadone Assistant Treatment and the sober house. The youth who had the history of relapsed were (n) 80 and the youth who were total relapsed were (n) 20 .The findings showed that parents, relatives and other people in the community did not have any knowledge on substance abuse and relapse. Youth re-used the substance abuse due to family conflict, mistrust by family members, and availability of the drugs and lack of job. Thus the study proposes that after-care-programs should be established and organized to support the after being discharged from treatment and rehabilitation services.

Applicability of Modular City framework for MY VILLAGE-MY TOWN vision in Bangladesh
Asrafi Bintay Akram, Tajfia Islam Tiba, Most. Suraiya Akter, Md. Mehedi Rabbi Piash- January 2020 Page No.: 125-129
Very recently Bangladesh government has spotted the light on the slogan ‘My Village-My Town’: Extension of Modern Civic Amenities in Every Village’ i.e. all urban facilities will be available in the villages. In article 16 of the constitution, it is mentioned that the disparities between rural and urban areas should be lessened. It is almost similar to the main theme of the recent slogan of the government. This slogan has driven to create basic facilities including income-generating opportunities, infrastructural development, provision of electricity, ensuring quality health services as well as education for all in rural areas. To accomplish this mission we need a progressive and right policy. This review has focused on the applicability of this model to meet the challenge of implementing the goals of ‘My Village-My Town’.

Dependency of Urban Poor Food Expenditures on Household’s Social Dynamics; The Situation of Low-Income Households in City of Kigali, Rwanda
Emmanuel NZEYIMANA, Prof. Maurice M. SAKWA, Prof. Gregory NAMUSONGE – January 2020 Page No.: 130-139
Households often depend on income from relatives working abroad or in other cities. Similarly, issues related to access to credit and loans, membership to Rotating Savings and Credit Associations (ROSCAS) may have great influence on incomes, which determine food access during emergencies (Maluku et al, 2014). Baiyegunhi and Fraser (2010) emphatically stated that households are more vulnerable to poverty when the household head’s education is low.
This paper analyzes how social characteristics in the low-income Households in City of Kigali influence their level of food security. Our research has focused on three key factors; i) Size of the low-income households, ii) The level of education for the Head of Households and iii) Household membership to various social associations with the objective of getting and accessing resources to improve their livelihoods.
The research has revealed that majority 64.3% low-income households in city of Kigali have confirmed that they don’t belong to any social networks, only 35.7% the low-income households in City of Kigali have confirmed that they belong to social networks, a big number of them 91.6% they belong to “Saving Groups” with the main purpose for “Saving” (82%) and 9 % to access loans, very few of the low-income households 5.6% belong to Cooperatives.
The results from the Multiple Linear Regression Model have revealed positive and statistically significant relationship at (p<0.01) between level of education of the head of household and Household Size with the low-income households’ food expenditure in the City of Kigali.

The Ethno-political Polarization Scenario in Sri Lanka’s Presidential Election held in November 2019: A Critical View
Dr. T. Krishnamohan – January 2020 Page No.: 140-146
Under the nineteenth amendment to the constitution of Sri Lanka, the president himself cannot dissolve the parliament until the completion of four and a half years. Under these circumstances, the president may look to strengthen his powers. Mahinda Rajapaksa pointed out that the nineteenth amendment of the constitution, which the Sri Lankan parliament passed just after he lost his presidency in 2015, has reduced the powers of the president’s office. The nineteenth amendment of the constitution strengthened the prime minister’s role, re-established a two-term limit on the presidency, and reinforced independent commissions like on human rights, police, the judiciary, and civil services. Regarding the nineteenth amendment of the constitution, two different types of opinions were formulated. Many people welcomed the end of the all-powerful executive presidency. Some of the others have criticized that the nineteenth amendment of the constitution, by dividing executive powers between the president and prime minister, produced an ineffective and confused government. But Mahinda Rajapaksa’s opinion hinted strongly that the SLPP would push for the parliament to revoke the amendment and re-concentrate powers in the presidency. If a strong presidential system is re-established that it would come at the sacrifice of the independence that the judiciary and police have enjoyed since 2015. A last-minute agreement between the SLFP and the SLPP saved them from the political destruction. The result of the presidential election underlined the beginning of the SLPP as the most powerful political party in the country at the sacrifice of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP). Both the SLFP and the UNP tolerated weakening setbacks with their leadership in panic. The SLPP will further strengthen its position at the forthcoming parliamentary polls.

The Rights of Women in Marriage and Family Relations
Dr Ngaundje Ieno Doris- January 2020 Page No.: 147-156
As far as the rights of women in marriage and family relations are concern, it can be contended that Cameroon has undoubtedly achieved so much. Cameroon has adopted appropriate legislative and institutional measures to guarantee women equal opportunities in marriage and family relations. In spite of the achievements, discrimination against women continues to linger in rural areas. In this respect, the article argues that more is desired to attain relative equality between men and women. To attain relative equality, the article settles for a reform of existing discriminatory laws and practices that have hindered the realisation of equal treatment between men and women. Again, the article recommends for the codification of all laws in force relating to marriage and family life. It stands to reason that many women will continue to wallow in ignorance and trapped in abusive relationships, if their rights are not re-asserted. The article finds it necessary to re-assert the rights of women in marriage and family relations by exploring the legislative and institutional measures with the aim of presenting a chronicle of the existing discriminatory laws and practices that have hindered the realisation of equal treatment between men and women.

Shehu Enoch Amila, Baiyi Viniru Luka – January 2020 Page No.: 157-161
The paper examines the concept of poverty, threat, security and human security in Nigeria, making use of library research and content analysis methodology in a qualitative analytical perspective. Apart from the afford mention conception, the paper establishes the causal relationship between poverty and human security adopting modernization and dependency theories. It outline some causes of poverty (unemployment, corruption, poor education, laziness and environmental degradation) and the seven dimension (economic, food, health, environment, personal, community and political) of human security which are all threaten. In order for Nigeria to attain freedom from wants, recommended among others: Nigerians should develop the habit and mind set of self-reliance in order to reduce the rate of unemployment and under employment in the country; afforestation policy and punishments of illegal cutting of tree should be put in place; patriotism is a remedy to high rate of corruption in Nigeria. Policies, programs and their execution should be done in the interest of the state only.

Using Constituents to Boost Budget Oversight in Nigeria
Augustine C. OSIGWE, Rifkatu NGHARGBU- January 2020 Page No.: 162-166
This paper examines how Nigeria’s budget oversight mechanism may be made more effective through the involvement of the constituents (the people) in the process to support the legislators. It underscores the importance of the budget in ensuring good governance, accountability and sound economic management in Nigeria. It notes Nigeria’s poor rating of 17 out of 100 in the 2017 global Open Budget Index, indicating low budget transparency and openness. Contrarily, countries such as Ghana, Brazil and South Africa scored 50, 77 and 89, respectively. Further, the paper noted that lack of synergy among the critical stake holders involved in the budget management portends, among other factors, several implications including: i) it encumbers the budget planning process; ii)creates unnecessary friction in budget defence, iii) creates opportunities for “budget padding”, iv) delays timely completion of the budget process, and v) induces budget apathy in the citizenry. Viewed against this backdrop, the worrisome state of the Nigerian budget situation cannot be over stressed. Following a critical review of selected inter-country experiences, the paper proffers the following suggestions to address the issues:
Legislators should help to formalize the pre-budget meeting that will involve the civil society, minister of finance and financial experts to discuss the contents of the budget and express what the people expect from the budget.
The legislators should draw lessons from the US and Brazil to engage their constituents through their leaders at the Ward level with a view to engaging them on matters that relate to budget preparation and constituency projects.
NASS should domesticate ideas from US and Brazil into law just as in the case South Korea where there is a law empowering the citizens to participate in the budgetary decision-making process through public hearing, meetings and internet survey.
For effective constituents and legislature engagement, legislators should set up a website for effective citizens’ engagement in budget preparation down to budget oversight.
The National Assembly committee on education should emulate South Africa to encourage the relevant departments in the Nigerian Universities to assist in enhancing citizens’ participation in the budget process.

Community Participation in the Conservation of Cultural Heritage in Lamu West and Lamu East Sub-Counties, Lamu County
Bunu, S. M; Ong’ayo A. H; Shauri, H. S. – January 2020 Page No.: 174-184
The potential contribution of cultural heritage to community development throughout the world is evidently huge. The active participation of communities in cultural heritage identification and management is anchored in the 1972 World Heritage Convention. The convention called for general policy aimed at giving the cultural heritage a function in the life of the community. The purpose of this study therefore was to assess the extent to which the Lamu County community is involved in the conservation of cultural heritage as a resource for community development. Descriptive survey design was used to conduct the study. Proportionate random sampling was handy in the selection of households in Lamu West and Lamu East sub-counties. Systematic random sampling was then used to select the respondents fulfilling the proportionate condition of the study’s sampling strategy from the sampling frame obtained at each sub-county. Data was collected using an interview schedule and a semi-structured questionnaire from Key informants and households respectively. Document analysis and observation schedule were used to complement primary data collection instruments. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse quantitative data using the Minitab software. Qualitative data was analysed thematically guided by the study objectives. The research was able to establish that, members of the community are key in the conservation of Lamu’s heritage due to the input they make to such efforts. However, the study reveals that Lamu community is not actively involved in the conservation of their cultural heritage. More precisely, the government and other agencies involved in the conservation of Lamu heritage sites did not involve the local communities in the conservation of their own cultural heritage. The study recommends that the roles of the different groups in the community need to be acknowledged and harnessed in order for an attitudinal change to occur in favour of quality participation in the conservation activities, especially of the local communities. It is further, recommended that the community will effectively participate in the conservation activities within the area if they are educated and empowered. Significantly, the study recommends that the community should be actively involved in cultural heritage conservation.

Assessment of Availability, Adequacy and Condition of High-Tech Assistive Technology Resources in Special Education Schools in North-West Nigeria
Samaila Dominic, Chukwuemeka Emeka Joshua, Babatunde Abdullateef Eyitayo – January 2020 Page No.: 185-190
Development of assistive technology in education has been boosted with the recent innovations making way into special education schools worldwide. This survey assessed availability, adequacy and condition of high-tech assistive technology in special education schools in North-West Nigeria. The study used a questionnaire and observation checklist. Two hundred teachers (N=200) from special education schools in North-West Nigeria responded to the questionnaire. Multi-stage sampling technique was used to sample both schools and the respondents. The validity of the instruments was determined by experts from special education and educational technology while the reliability of the two instruments used was established through pilot testing and the reliability value of 0.81 and 0.74 was obtained for the two instruments, respectively using Cronbach Alpha and Kappa’s inter-rater formulas. The data collected were analysed using frequency count and percentage. Findings of the study showed that 56% of the high-tech assistive resources necessary for quality teaching and learning in special education schools were not available. It was also observed that 44% of high-tech assistive resources found available were grossly inadequate to guarantee better special education service delivery for students with disabilities. It was recommended among others that both the Federal and State governments as well as, other stakeholders, should improve on funding the special education programme so as to ensure that the necessary assistive resources are provided in a required quantity and quality in special education schools among others. Hence, emphasis on their integration in planning curriculum and pedagogy for students with special needs.

Examination Mismanagement and National Development in Nigeria: Towards a Credible cum Non-Fraudulent Examination Process
Asadu, Ikechukwu, Ph.D, Sunday Evaristus Abonyi, Ph.D – January 2020 Page No.: 191-204
Examination is a vital instrument of functional education system. For education to attain its objectives as veritable tool for evaluation of students and selection of people with competence, it should be devoid of any form of unprofessional misconduct by the stakeholders in the examination process. The 1999 Examination Malpractice Act and other legislations outlaw examination malpractices and provide for penalties against offenders. Despite the stringent punishment prescribed for examination misconducts, cases of examination malpractices have continue to manifest in internal and external examination at primary, secondary and higher institutions of learning. The study examined the nature of examination mismanagement as well as prominent factors accountable for high rate of examination malpractice in Nigeria and its effects on national development with a view to suggesting empirical measures for reducing the incidence of examination misconducts. The methodology of the study is both qualitative and descriptive. The generated data were analyzed employing contextual-descriptive analytic approach. The study, among other things, demonstrated that pervasive fraud; poverty; success-at-all costs mindset; excessive prominence on certificate; cultism; sexual desire; poor teaching techniques and facilities; materialism; laziness and lack of self confidence contribute considerably to examination misconducts. It also showed that the negative consequences of examination malpractice on the socio-economic and political development are great.

Influence of Advertising on the Porting Behaviour of Mobile Phone Subscribers in Port Harcourt Metropolis
Daniel Nwanmereni & Collins Kediehor – January 2020 Page No.: 205-210
In spite of the contributions of advertising to the critical sectors of the global economy, the practice has been misinterpreted as being deceptive and manipulative. Critics also argue that advertising predisposes people to materialism. These criticisms have left critics and promoters of advertising divided. This study investigated the influence of advertising on the porting behaviour of mobile network subscribers in Port Harcourt metropolis, Nigeria. Among other objectives, the study investigated the conditions that underlie subscribers’ porting behaviour. The descriptive survey research design was used to study a population of 199, 585 from which a sample size of 383 was drawn. Findings of the study showed that the prime factor that underlies subscribers’ porting behaviour was the quality of services provided by individual mobile network companies. The study recommended, among other things, that researches with verifiable results should be conducted to draw a line between materialistic tendencies and advertising influences with respect to consumers’ buying behaviour.

Fresher Transition into Tertiary Education: Challenges and Opportunities
Goddana Mensima Darko – January 2020 Page No.: 211-219
Studies indicate that when freshers are smoothly initiated and integrated into the tertiary education community, it enhances their engagement, performance and consequently, their career success. Unfortunately, most universities see fresher transition as a definite period of events rather than as a process in a continuum from the late phase of completion of high school through the entire period of study in the university. Hence beyond fresher orientation, other services that should aid transition into the higher education culture are rarely operationalized actively. This article highlights the characteristics of freshers, what higher education requires of them for effective academic and social survival. It brings forth the social and academic gap in culture between the actual needs of high school students for the university environment and the experiences they have. Based on existing theories of fresher transition, it proposes a conceptual framework that can be adopted by higher education institutions to facilitate fresher transition into the academic and social environment of universities.

Extra-Curricular Activities as Predictors of Primary School Pupils’ Academic Self-Efficacy in Kira Municipality, Wakiso District, Uganda
Kayindu Vincent, Asiimwe Specioza – January 2020 Page No.: 220-226
The current study was carried out in Kira Municipality, Wakiso district, Uganda to investigate among other things, the relationship between extra-curricular activities and primary school pupils’ self-efficacy in in Kira Municipality, Wakiso district, Uganda. The study was based on Spearman’s two-factor theory of intelligence and Piaget’s theory of Constructivism. It employed a cross sectional survey design, using quantitative approach. A sample of 400 pupils was taken from ten primary schools. This was got using Morgan & Krejicie (1971) method of determining the sample from a given population. To get the data, the researcher used self-administered questionnaire on extra-curricular activities and a standardized questionnaire of likert scale type, the Morgan-Jinks Students Efficacy Scale (MJSES). The MJSES is an inventory designed for middle school students to gain information about student efficacy beliefs that are related to school success. The collected data were analysed using the the Pearson’s Linear Correlation Coefficient. The findings were that the primary school pupils’ level of participation in extra-curricular activities significantly predict their perceived academic self-efficacy (Sig. 0.003). Based on the finding that the pupils who highly participated in extra-curricular activities highly felt the confidence to perform well academically, and those who participated less in extra-curricular activities felt that they would not perform well academically, the researchers recommended that there is need for the two groups of pupils, the higher and lower participants in extra-curricular activities both to develop a feeling and confidence that they can perform very well academically, and hence work hard to achieve it.

Mixed methods were used to collect data. The questionnaire and observation schedule. The research instrument used were questionnaires with Likert scale of 1 – 5 (1 – Strongly disagree, 2- disagree, 3 undecided, 4 agree, 5 strongly agree) was used to collect the data after which statistical package for social science (SPSS) software version 22 was used to analyze the data. Quantitative data from the questionnaire with Likert scale was analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis. The major findings of this study were the challenges encountered by teachers in developing and implementing IEP for learners with intellectual disabilities. They included the following:
Lack of adequate teaching aids, absenteeism of learners, lack of cooperation from parents, limited time for meeting of multidisciplinary team, lack of teaches confidence in developing and implementing IEP, lack of administrative support, lack of financial resources for communication and lack of adequate time to implement the IEP. This study recommended that teachers should have adequate teaching aids. They need to be confident in developing and implementing IEP. The cooperation from parents is required and is necessary for proper development and implementation of IEP. More time is needed by teachers in developing and implementing IEP with learners with intellectual disabilities.

The Awareness Level of Inclusive School Teachers in Ghana about the Causes of Children with Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties (EBD)
Emmanuel Tawiah Aboagye- January 2020 Page No.: 231-241
Inadequate knowledge, skills and competencies of some Ghanaian teachers and educators tend to make them quite unwilling to manage children with emotional and behavioural difficulties. Some inclusive school teachers do not have enough knowledge about the causes of emotional and behavioural difficulties. Therefore, in many cases children with emotional and behavioural difficulties are not supported to cope with their difficulties. Such children are even sometimes given corporal punishment which adversely affects teaching and learning. Some children do not have a good relationship with their teachers because of the way they are managed. The objective of this research was to assess awareness level of teachers who taught classes that included children with emotional and behavioural difficulties. The researcher surveyed inclusive classroom teachers from four regions in Ghana to assess their knowledge of the factors that cause emotional and behavioural difficulties in children. The data was gathered from 243 teachers. Forty per cent of teachers in each school selected was chosen for the study. The primary data used were obtained using a questionnaire containing both closed and open-ended questions. The test for consistency of the questionnaire items was done by using Cranach alpha and the result was acceptable since the Cronbach coefficient alpha was 0.78. The study revealed that most teachers do not have in-depth knowledge about the causes of emotional and behavioural problems in school children. The study recommends school-based training programmes to help teachers understand the causes of emotional behaviour difficulties in children and how to manage such difficulties.

Firms’ Profitability and Financial Reporting Quality: Pre and Post IFRS Adoption in Nigeria
Lucky Izobo ENAKIRERHI, Emmanuel A. L. IBANICHUKA & Clifford O. OFURUM – January 2020 Page No.: 249-255
The study examines firms’ profitability and the quality of financial reports: pre and post IFRS adoption in Nigeria. The main objective is to examine the effect of profitability on earnings quality of firms in addition to the impact IFRS has on the profitability of firms in Nigeria. The study uses the quantitative method of analysis, the multiple regression analysis to examine what effect ROE and ROA have on earnings quality and t-test of mean difference to test for difference between the mean of pre and post IFRS adoption. To analyse earnings quality, discretionary accrual is measured using the Jones’ model. The results show that the effect of profitability on the quality of earnings after adoption of IFRS is mix depending on what measure of profitability was adopted. ROE has negative (positive) effect while ROA has positive (negative) effect on discretionary accruals (earnings quality). On the impact of IFRS adoption on profitability of firms, the results show a non-significant impact on the return on equity of firms and a statistically significant impact on the return on assets of firms. Overall, IFRS adoption has had a negative impact on the profitability of firms quoted on the floor of the Nigerian stock exchange.

Is Artificial Intelligence (AI) Redefining What It Means To Be Human? Interactions between AI, Religion and Society
Oyenga Omusula Patrick, Rashid Ali Omar – January 2020 Page No.: 256-259
Current controversial articles that reveal the prowess that Artificial Intelligence (AI) can play over humans have sent out panic in society among both believers and non-believers. The foundations of Artificial Intelligence dates back in the days of Aristotle (384 BC – 322 BC) with his syllogism work that entailed logic reasoning of machines about their environment. Today, it is evident that society is embracing the AI technology as robots are increasingly found in various human environments including homes, hotels, retail stores and hospitals. Using various existing studies and literature, this article attempted to discuss the interaction between Artificial intelligence, religion and society. Despite the embrace of the AI in the contemporary society, there are worries in society on the future of AI and humanity. A religious perspective seems to lack a wholesome opinion over this as no studies associate AI and religion. However, apocalyptic religion states that the conscience of man is being transferred to machines thus making the machines more relevant. The worries among believers is pegged on the scientific prediction that by 2040, robots could work much better and cheaper than man, of which compromise the biblical view that God made man on His own image giving man power over everything on earth. For the Islamic religion, everything created by God was meant for man. Religious perspective shows that God does not appreciate human advancements that would compromise His supremacy. The worries of the society as a whole rest in loss of job opportunities through replacement by robots and other AI technologies. The concern also manifests in the uncertainty of exhausting innovation in technology. All in all, adoption of AI is the fourth industrial revolution that the society can adopt to augment capacities to serve the growing population.

The Politics of Criminology in the Selected Plays of Athol Fugard and August Wilson
Ngong Joseph Sam, Ph.D – January 2020 Page No.: 260-268
South Africa suffers from high levels of crime and violence. So Apartheid has been replaced by violent crime. Apartheid’s physical violence could be seen as South African Police regularly suppressed protests marches. The South African police killed approximately twenty thousand young people during the Soweto Uprising of 1976 when black students protested against the use of Afrikaans as language of instruction. Besides, the xenophobic attacks of 2008, 2009, 2015 and 2019 indicate that crime is extremely high in South Africa. Similarly, the United States of America continues to record high rate of violent crime, particularly, in African American neighbourhoods. Crime has recorded untold suffering on blacks in both communities and is still felt today. It is against this backdrop that this paper examines the Politics of Criminology in the selected plays of Athol Fugard and August Wilson. Using the Postcolonial theory and Psychoanalysis, the paper argues that blacks are lured by whites to commit crimes that would prevent them from engaging in mainstream activities. Thus, crime in this context is observed as a political manoeuver used by whites to exclude Africans and African Americans respectively. Consequently, the characters in the selected plays of both authors are deracinated from their patrimony and cultural identity. The paper further argues that crime like sin seems to have an indefinite path, but it can be reduced if many blacks study and practice law in racial communities. The way forward to the problem of crime lies in the comprehension, application and the mastery of black codes vis-à-vis white laws. Therefore, it is observed that Fugard and Wilson have contributed immensely to African and African American criminological thought.

Entrepreneurial Training Strategies Adopted by Lecturers in Developing Business Abilities in Nigeria University Students
Dr. Angela Chekwube Ekoh-Nweke, Prof. Mkpa Agu Mkpa, Dr. Ijeoma Chimeruo Ezeabii – January 2020 Page No.: 276-282
Developing business abilities in university students has become an indispensable task due to growing unemployment among university graduates in Nigeria. This task cannot be appropriately addressed without university lecturers adopting entrepreneurial training strategies to develop business abilities in university students. Entrepreneurial training strategies include among others: the activity-based and university-industry collaboration approaches. This study sought to determine entrepreneurial training strategies adopted by lecturers in developing business abilities in Nigeria students. Two research questions and two null hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The investigation adopted a descriptive survey design and the South East geopolitical zone was the area of the study. The subjects were 500 lecturers purposively selected 300 from the federal and 200 from state universities. Data were collected using a researcher made and validated questionnaire with a reliability index of 0.79. Data were collected using 5 research assistants. Means and standard deviations were used to answer the research questions while t-test was used to test the null hypotheses. Results showed that lecturers do not substantially adopt activity-based and university-industry collaboration entrepreneurial training strategies in developing business abilities in the Nigerian university students. Based on the findings, the following recommendation was proferred among others that university lecturers should adopt activity-based and university-industry collaboration entrepreneurial training strategies in developing business abilities in Nigeria university students, to enable them function appropriately in any business environment.

Fazila, Dua Rehmatullah, Samreen Yasmeen, Farhan Ishaque, Saba Mughal, Abid Kamal – January 2020 Page No.: 287-291
Background: Dysmenorrhea is broadly defined as pain during menstruation nearly frequent symptoms is lower abdominal cramps, back pain, nausea, headache and depression. Dysmenorrhea is categorized into two subtypes that are Primary Dysmenorrhea and Secondary Dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea is most commonly found in adolescent and young adult group with no underlying pelvic pathology. Symptoms usually subside within three days of menstrual cycle. Affected Females extremely restrict their physical activities in these days. Dysmenorrhea induces negative impact on quality of life of affected females. This may have now the major reason behind absentees of female students in academics and working women in their work places.
Objective The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of primary dysmenorrhea in sample of under graduated female students of Dow University of Health Sciences and evaluate pain intensity with its associated factors that provoke dysmenorrhea.
Materials and Methods: The Frequency of primary dysmenorrhea was 92% (n=381) out of total respondents (n=414) participated in this study. The pain score of dysmenorrhea categorized in varying intensities, 5.6% of the participants were experiencing no pain, 14.0 % of the total participants were experiencing mild pain, and 61% moderate pain and 18.6% were having severe pain. According to Dysmenorrhea Severity Scale (VMSS) scores 8 % of the participant reported no pain, 33.6 % individuals complained of having mild pain, while, 41.8 % and 16.7 % of the recruits reported moderate and severe pain. Dysmenorrhea was significantly associated with daily life style habits consumption of Coke (p = 0.040) and Coffee (P = 0.022), further significant association were between dysmenorrhea and moderate to severe pattern of menstrual flow (p = <0.001). Those with Regular menstrual cycle having dysmenorrhea 90% (n=271) whereas, 113 female participants of irregular menstrual cycle were mentioned out of these 97.3% (n=110) reported dysmenorrhea.
Results: The Frequency of primary dysmenorrhea was 92% (n=381) out of total respondents (n=414) participated in this study. The pain score of dysmenorrhea categorized in varying intensities, 5.6% of the participants were experiencing no pain, 14.0 % of the total participants were experiencing mild pain, and 61% moderate pain and 18.6% were having severe pain. According to Dysmenorrhea Severity Scale (VMSS) scores 8 % of the participant reported no pain, 33.6 % individuals complained of having mild pain, while, 41.8 % and 16.7 % of the recruits reported moderate and severe pain. Dysmenorrhea was significantly associated with daily life style habits consumption of Coke (p = 0.040) and Coffee (P = 0.022), further significant association were between dysmenorrhea and moderate to severe pattern of menstrual flow (p = <0.001). Those with Regular menstrual cycle having dysmenorrhea 90% (n=271) whereas, 113 female participants of irregular menstrual cycle were mentioned out of these 97.3% (n=110) reported dysmenorrhea.
Conclusion: There is high a proportion of primary dysmenorrhea among female medical students of Dow University of Health and Sciences. Excessive consumption of coke and coffee in daily routine intake were the associated factors that provoked dysmenorrhea. , where as moderate to severe menstrual flow and irregular menstrual cycle were seen as dominant predictors that significantly contributed to the intensity of primary dysmenorrhea. Promote awareness regarding factors that might influence the occurrence of primary dysmenorrhea in early adult age-group females.

The Cessation Clause for Rwandan Refugees in Uganda
Uwineza Mimi Harriet – January 2020 Page No.: 301-309
I. INTRODUCTION
This research highlighted the different positions, opinions and/or views from the Rwandan people living in exile in Uganda. These views were about the Cessation clause set to be officially invoked by the UNHCR June 2013. The study argues that the implementation of the Cessation Clause to put an end to the refugee status of the concerned group will affect different categories of people. The background to the study shows the presence of Rwandan refugees in different part of Uganda. The study underlined the complexity of this decision in the sense that the group concerned is made of different categories of people, those former refugees who came in Uganda following the 1959 events; then those who came following the 1994 genocide and in between the two major events and even after 1994, some Rwandans came individually as refugees with particular reasons. There is also a group of Rwandans who were born in Uganda from the former refugees. Some know Rwanda for having been there whereas other always hear about the country but have never got chance to step there.

Fiscal Policy and Non-Oil Output in Nigeria
EKINE, Data Irene, WEST, Jim Ibiso – January 2020 Page No.: 316-320
The study examined fiscal policy and non-oil output in Nigeria from 1970-2017. Secondary data on government capital and recurrent expenditure for the study was collected from CBN statistical bulletin and the econometrics methods of ADF unit root test, Johansen co-integrated test and ECM technique were used for the analysis. The results of the output model showed that all the variables were stationarity at order one and have long run relationship. The parsimonious ECM result showed that a percentage increase government capital expenditure increases the non-oil sector output sector by about 29%.The coefficient of government recurrent expenditure showed that a percentage increase government recurrent expenditure will increase the non-oil sector output sector by about 2.0%. Given the scenario above, it was concluded that there is a direct relationship between government expenditure and non-oil output in Nigeria during the period of study. Based on these findings, it was recommended that the percentage of government capital budget should be more than recurrent as former play more vital role in the development of the non-oil output in Nigeria.

Reducing Gender Inequality in Labour Force Participation in Nigeria: The School-To-Work Transition Policy Approach
Rifkatu Nghargbu, Ph.D – January 2020 Page No.: 326-330
This paper examines the existing gender inequality in labour force participation in Nigeria with a view to suggest policy options in school-to-work transition that will reduce the inequality. Using the National Bureau of statistics (2019) report for men and women, Statistical evidences revealed unjustified gender inequality in labour force participation in all sectors especially in professional, technical and managerial jobs which can be traced to the level of schooling especially at tertiary level. The study concludes that school-to-work transition policy provides alternative ways to reducing gender inequality in female labour participation. As a recommendation, reduction in gender inequality in labour participation calls for gender-sensitive policies that will improve female school-to-work transition especially at the tertiary level. Tackling the existing gender inequality is one of the effective ways to end poverty in Nigeria and enhance economic, social and political development to achieve SDGs by 2030.

Domestic Debt Structure and Economic Growth in Nigeria, 1980 -2018
Okorie, Stanley, Cookey, Boma Clement – January 2020 Page No.: 331-339
The main objective of the study is to examine the impact of public debt structure on Nigeria’s economic growth in from 1980 to 2018. Conceptual framework of the study was based on the Keynesian theory of public debt which opined that changes public debt structure has effect on aggregate demand and economic growth. The study used secondary data collected from the Central Bank of Nigeria statistical Bulletin and the World Bank Economic Development Index (WDI). The model specification adopted for the study was a modified version of Okon (2013) to accommodate development stock. The study applied the Engle-Granger (1979) Error Correction Model estimation techniques. The unit rot test result revealed that all the variables were not stationary at level, but became stationary after 1st differencing. The co-integration results showed that there is long run relationship among the variable. The estimation of the error correction model (ECM) revealed that development stock had negative, but significant relationship with economic growth. Treasury bond impact on the economic growth was found positive but insignificant. The impact of Treasury bill was found negative, but also insignificant. It was also observed that variations in public debt structure accounted for about 67% variation in economic growth during the period under review. It was therefore recommended that government should diversify the economy to reduce debt Borden on economic growth.

Kathure. F., Arani. PhD – January 2020 Page No.: 340-343
Over the last decade reverse logistics has received growing attention given the convergence several situations. On the other hand, there is a genuine concern about environmental matters and sustainability of the intended development from the entire process. Most manufacturing industries are currently facing challenges in complying with the regulatory requirements from the regulatory bodies(Alfred Eshikhati & of Nairobi, 2014). The cost of non-compliance with the environmental requirements could attract great expenses as well as time consumption. Reverse logistics is perceived to enhances and promote customer loyalty and service, trust on company’s products, recovery of asset value faster and achievement of a sustainable objectives and goals. Reverse Logistics (RL) aims at improving product, enhances stakeholder’s relationship customer satisfaction and motivation and sustainability. A number of studies reveals the impacts of adoption of various RL practices with none showing specifically the effects of reuse, remanufacture and RL practices on performance of manufacturing firms in modern companies especially in Kenya.

Gender Apartheid, Crime or Custom?
Dr. Miriam Rahinatu Iddrisu, Dr. Dominic Alimbey Dery, Dr. Adam Bawa Yussif – January 2020 Page No.: 348-351
The purpose of this study was to ascertain why majority of those who are accused of witchcraft happen to be women, a very disturbing situation. Thus, the research was to establish whether witchcraft was a purely women’s affair, why is it that their male counterparts are normally treated as wise people who wield respect in the society? An appropriate methodology was used. Some of the techniques included focus group discussions, interviews, questionnaire and personal observation. The evidence gathered pointed to the fact that the phenomenon of witchcraft is a social rather than a natural phenomenon.

Dominic Alimbey Dery (PhD), Rev. Father Linus Zan Mwinlaaro, Alexander Bedekuru Nmaninyin (Rev. Father), Miriam Rahinatu Iddrisu (PhD) – January 2020 Page No.: 352-360
This phenomenological study investigated the materials required for sacrifices of the Dagara people of the Upper West region of Ghana. Different occasions require different sacrifices. Different scholars suggest different materials used in performing sacrifice. This, invariably, depends, to a large extent, on their understanding of what sacrifice is. The descriptive analytical sample survey was the research design used to purposively study Nandom, Lawra and Jirapa areas of the region. Data gathered was systematically analysed with key findings being that the Dagara people had different types of sacrifices for different occasions. The research findings were as follows, that the Dagara carries his/her object of sacrifice from home, that most sacrifices require domestic animals but in a few cases domestic items such as flour, pito and ash could be used. The most popular animal used in the sacrifice is the fowl. Lastly, different sacrifices require different animals.

Assessment of Water Vending and Willingness to Pay for Improved Private Water Service within Kano Metropolis, Kano State-Nigeria
Prof. Garba Ibrahim Sheka, Godwin Boniface, Atiman Kasima Wilson – January 2020 Page No.: 361-369
The imbalance in the water infrastructural development, population explosion and rapid urbanization rate has created a serious deficiency in the quantity and quality of water being supplied by the public utility in Nigeria over the years. The scope, severity frequency and indeed complexity of this scenario have led to emergence of water vendors of varying degrees operating mostly in the urban and semi-urban areas of the country. Despite widespread recognition of the importance of water vending, the phenomenon has not received significant empirical researches in the academic literature. This work therefore assessed water vending and willingness to pay for improved private sector water supply within Kano Metropolis, Kano State-Nigeria. The study used primary data collected via questionnaires from 731 households using multi-stage sampling techniques and used both descriptive statistics and Tobit regression to analyze the data. The findings reveal that most of the respondents (80.16%) relied on informal water vendors as the major source of water for domestic consumption. Furthermore, significant percentage (90%) of the respondents expressed willingness to pay for the improved water supply system and reported the sum ₦1,119.51K equivalent to $3.11 of US dollar as mean willingness to pay. The Tobit regression result identified household income spent on water, average daily quantity of water consumed by household, average income of head of household and quality/absence of water supplied by public utility were found to be statistically significant in influencing households’ willingness to pay for improved private sector water supply within the study area. The study recommends that there is need for effective regulation and inspection of small-scale water enterprises and informal water vendors by both NAFDAC and state ministries of water and Health; more intervention by both donors and non-governmental organizations NGOs in providing water to the urban population; and investment by organized private sector through Public Private Partnership PPP in the water industry as currently practiced by Lagos State Government, among others.
