Price Fluctuation and Market Integration of Selected Cereal in North-eastern Nigeria, 2001-2010

Price Fluctuation and Market Integration of Selected Cereal in North-eastern Nigeria, 2001-2010   ABSTRACT Prices contain information crucial to maximizing the returns to production and marketing investments. At planting time, a farmer's planting decision depends on expected profits, which invariably hinge on the anticipated prices of the crop or mix of crops that would prevail in the market at the time of sale and on the farmer's interpretation of those prices. A trader, in search of profitable arbitrage, reads and translates price signals in deciding on what crops to buy, where to buy, and when to sell.

The accuracy, reliability, and promptness of market information are therefore critical in attaining...

Economic Analysis of Financing and Sustainability of Irrigated Agriculture in the Lower Anambra and Lower Benue Irrigation Projects, Nigeria

Economic Analysis of Financing and Sustainability of Irrigated Agriculture in the Lower Anambra and Lower Benue Irrigation Projects, Nigeria ABSTRACT Irrigated agriculture provides a very important part of national food security strategies as well as individuals’ and communities livelihoods at the local level.  Yet the performance of many irrigation and drainage systems in Nigeria is generally below potential due to a variety of shortcomings. The monopolistic nature of the sector and its social sensitivity has fostered extensive government intervention that has not always been conducive to financial sustainability. Insufficient cost recovery and lack of direct linkages between revenue and expenditure, and between the client and the service agency are the root of the problems resulting to lower performance. Globally, there is a consensus...

An Investigation on the Challenges Encountered by the Government in Educational Funding in Kwara State CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the study Education constitutes the very foundation of meaningful socioeconomic, political, and economic growth and development of any nation. Since the implementation of the national policy on education in 1981, there have been a lot of innovations and reforms in the education system. Unfortunately, education in Nigeria, despite these reforms and the continuous huge investment by various regimes, has not sufficiently lifted the nation from the morass of technological under-development, political instability and social decadence. It can be argued that most of these reforms and innovations are poorly implemented due to unsustainable funding. The financing of education is at the heart of the...

Assessing the Role of Head Teachers in Improving Physical Education in Primary School. Case Study of Primary Schools in Ibadan CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1       Background of the study The importance of physical education has never been more emphasized than it is right now.

Effect of Banditry on the Education System in Nigeria (a Case Study of Kaduna State) CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Of The Study Security issues are global issues that must be addressed in order to establish a conducive climate for socioeconomic progress. Insecurity not only endangers residents' lives and property, but also halts a country's overall growth (Ekene, 2015; Haruna, 2016). As a result, security and development are inextricably linked (Haruna, 2016; Nwanegbo and Odigbo, 2013; Chandler, 2007 as cited in Ewetan and Urhie, 2014). In most African countries, including Nigeria, security challenges have remained a fundamental impediment to real socioeconomic progress. Various forms of violent insecurity have plagued Nigeria's political history, including civil war, election-related mayhem, riots and rallies, militancy,...

Influence of Principal – Teacher Relationship in Secondary School Climate in Imo State CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Of The Study An organization is a system that consciously coordinates the activities of two or more individuals, influencing workers behaviour in the workplace (Barhard, 2004). A formal organization is bureaucratic in nature. It is concerned with the division of labour, the distribution of power in the system, and the job descriptions for each role. A formal organization is concerned with the system's efficiency. It has a chain of authority and regulations that govern the organization. This corresponds to the notion of a school as an organization. According to Segun and Segun, a school is a social institution that deals with both people and material resources (1984).
