The study identified that the main reason for the suboptimal economic growth rate and development in Nigeria is home-made due to political instability and government regulations and misguided economic policies, insecure property rights, geographical location, language barrier, unemployment, poverty, shortage of skilled labour, and low level of technological development despite the efforts of the economic activities of Transnational businesses in the country and its growing presence in her core sectors. In view of these, the research sought to examine the extent of relationship between Gross Domestic Product and Foreign Direct Investments inflow in Nigeria. The study was anchored on New Trade Theory propounded by Tejvannne and Pettinger in 2013 and Internalization Theory by John Harry Dunning in 1977, descriptive research and correlational survey design was employed in the study while data were sourced mainly from secondary sources and the Ordinary Least Square method of estimation (OLS) was adopted for this study. EVIEW7 software was used for the analysis. The findings revealed that there was a significant positive relationship between Foreign Direct Investment and Economic Growth in Nigeria. The study concluded that on the long run, the impact of transnational businesses would be felt, since the coefficients of foreign direct investments on economic growth shows a significant positive relationship. This study recommended that there is the need for government to woo more of transnational firms in the various sectors of the economy in order to gain the advantage of technology transfer to Nigeria. This will in turn boost the growth process of the economy and that the governments should strategize their existing policies and institutions, rather than merely attracting FDI, and should focus additionally on effective transfer of technology, which includes the diffusion and development of technology locally.

Security of lives and properties of the citizens is one of the main pillars of social existence. There are elements that pose threat to stability of the country. These elements include but not limited to poverty, unemployment and unemployability. These phenomena can be addressed when youths become productively engaged. Education has been identified as a veritable tool for sustainable productivity. But the nature of education to be administered has a lot to contribute to national productivity. As such, there is a clarion call to review the education curriculum of the country to enable it address the problems of citizens. Subsequently, vocational education seems to provide answer to the question as it is saddled with the responsibility of providing skills to learners that will make them productive, reliable and self employed. The issue of what constitutes national need still stares in the face as efforts are being made to provide solution to numerous security yearnings of the country. Vocational education therefore, if well implemented will acquaint the youths with proper skills that will enable them find solutions to the problems of the country. This is because, acquisition of relevant skills will enhance employment opportunity which will reduce crime rate and stabilize security situation of the country. Using descriptive analytic method, the paper tries to find a nexus between vocational education, security and national productivity. It concludes that a well implemented vocational education will tackle security problem of the country by reducing unemployment and unemployability which will enhance national productivity.

Modular refineries are designed and fabricated in a manufacturing environment based on the detailed requirements of the owner. As the name implies, the equipment is constructed in modules that are designed to be transported quickly and easily anywhere in the world. and comes in a variety of sizes and capacities. Depending on the refining capacity, Modular refineries can be designed and constructed with the major part of the work accomplished in a factory controlled atmosphere. This paper explores the development of small-scale modular private refineries and large-scale conventional private refineries. For the largest Modular Refineries, some of their components (such as distillation columns) are too heavy that they are normally shipped separately. Before shipping and while still in the factory where it is manufactured, the components are pre-assembled directly to the modularized process systems, so as to make the field assembly short and efficient. Modular refining solutions provide single-source project management, quick construction in challenging environments and superior quality control for reliable and cost-effective operations. This paper provides analyses of the current state of the refining sector in Nigeria and the refining revolution that will take place within the next 3-5 years. Modular refining solutions are best suited for projects with: strict product specifications, short project timelines requiring fast track delivery, limited, critical onsite resources and remote locations Keywords: Capacity, Fabrication, Petroleum Product, Modular, Refinery.
A power operated machine is developed for slicing of yam, consists of an electric motor, the chamber fitted with auger shaft to transport the yam. The slicer is positioned at the outlet of the feeder with rotary cutter. Machine capacity was influenced by moisture content of tubers and variations in length and diameter. A multi-crop slicing machine was designed, fabricated and evaluated for performance. The major components of the machine include the hopper, mainframe, conveying disc, slicing unit, slicing shaft, idler shaft, pulley, bearing, electric motor base and outlet. Performance of the device was evaluated using the following parameters: slicing efficiency, throughput and percentage of non -uniform slices. The slicing efficiency, throughput and non–uniform slices obtained was 52.3 %, 315 kg/hr. and 47.65 % respectively. Making the chute adjustable to different tuber thickness would eliminate wobbling and further reduce the percentage of non–uniform slices.

The National Policy for Persons with Disabilities (2006) attempts to clarify the framework under which the state, civil society and the private sector need to operate to ensure a dignified life for persons with physically/differently abled and support as their caretakers. Giving appropriate support, including differentiated instruction, students ranging from gifted to differently abled could be imparted with an appropriate education in general educational classrooms. Differentiated instruction is to be understood by teachers as a foundation that can enhance and create such inclusive classrooms. Differentiated instruction is a technique which teachers use to accommodate, understand, and act in accordance with each student’s learning styles and instructional preferences. The investigators in this paper has tried to analyse the differentiated instruction approach to teaching and learning. The purpose of this paper is to study the concept and need of differentiated instruction, to analyse the components of it and also to understand the different instructional strategies and techniques through which differentiated instruction can be successfully implemented in an inclusive classroom. Keywords: Inclusive education, differentiated instruction, diverse learners.
Dans la complexité de la lutte contre l’inflation, plusieurs alternatives en matière de politique économique sont souvent proposées. Ces politiques économiques peuvent être conjoncturelles ou structurelles selon le cas, tout comme elles peuvent s’appliquer à plusieurs aspects de l’économie d’un pays, notamment l’investissement et la consommation par exemple (on parle d’une politique économique globale qui est aussi caractérisée par une politique de relance et celle de la stabilisation sous l’axe de demande) ; ou alors spécifiques. Dans le cadre du présent papier, nous nous sommes plus concentrés sur l’usage conjoint des politiques budgétaires et monétaires, appelé communément « Policy mix » en République démocratique du Congo. L’objectif étant d’évaluer le feedback dans le taux de change face à l’application conjointe de ces deux politiques. Pour y arriver, nous avons fait appel à un modèle économétrique basé sur l’approche de cointégration de Johansen (1988) qui est également basée sur le modèle vectoriel à correction d’erreur(VECM). Ce choix est justifié par le fait que la littérature économique récente concernant la théorie de l’équilibre démontre qu’une série macro-économique stationnaire peut être le résultat d’une combinaison de variables non stationnaires, d’où l’importance actuelle de l’analyse de la cointégration à k variables. Ce modèle a l’avantage non seulement d’intégrer les fluctuations de court terme d’un certain nombre d’indicateurs tout en s’assurant de la convergence des sentiers de croissance de ces derniers sur le long terme au travers une force de rappel, mais encore il permet de bien identifier les capacités prédictives d’un indicateur à travers l’analyse de la décomposition de la variance. Ainsi, au regard des résultats, nous sommes aboutis à une situation telle que toute tentative de combinaison des politiques budgétaires et monétaires ne fait que fléchir l’économie congolaise, témoignant ainsi de l’inefficacité de ladite combinaison.
This study sought to assess the Nigerian economy in terms her exports and imports in the light of the mercantilist doctrine of trade. Descriptive approach was used in the analysis. Nigeria as an economy has experienced fluctuations, with her exports and import either decreasing or increasing. Prior to the discovery of oil in the 1970s, her attention shifted to the oil sector, thereby neglecting the non-oil sectors-agriculture for instance which was the major producer of goods and services as well as raw materials to industries. Although the discovering of oil in her Niger delta region contributed to her increase in export, this was only due to the increased in the world oil price. Findings reveals that Nigerian government in their plight to promote domestic industries has restricted some goods from entering the markets –cars and rice. With the deficit balance of trade, Nigeria plans to go back to the non-oil sectors, as a way of enhancing the productive capacity of all sectors of the economy to increase her exports. Nigerian government through her agencies should ensure that restricted goods are not still smuggled to the economy. More so government should enact laws that ensures the acceptance and usage of indigenous products by Nigerians both home and abroad.

India, like rest of the world is gearing itself for the different challenges posed by lockdown due to Covid 19 pandemic. Educational institutions across India are facing a lot of challenges. Collection of fees, providing salary to the teaching and non-teaching staff, digitalization of traditional classroom are few of the immediate challenges. Traditional classrooms have now shifted to many individual room spread across the country. Teachers play a vital role in imparting knowledge to the students. The National Policy on Education (1986 and 2020) accepts that no education system can rise above the quality of its teachers. Teaching job may be demanding and involves heavy work load and controlling of unruly students which may result in felling of frustration. Job satisfaction is a positive or pleasant emotional state resulting from a person's appreciation of his/her own job or experience. Unsatisfied teachers do not contribute wholeheartedly in the development of the students and country at a large whereas highly satisfied teachers help in the achievement of educational aims set by the country. This paper discusses how Covid 19 pandemic has affected the teachers on a whole and at the same time has come as an opportunity to all where we can work for professional upliftment and personal growth. At this time of stress and job insecurity, the paper proposes the A to T approach to Job Satisfaction of school teachers. Keywords: Job-satisfaction, Covid 19 pandemic, unseen challenges, A to T approach
The purpose of the study was to investigate the enhancement of psychosocial environment on student’s academic achievements in Basic Electricity in Government Technical Colleges.

Population of the study comprised all the teachers and students of Basic Electricity in Government Technical Colleges in Niger State. The sample of the study consisted of 295 made up of 29 teachers and 266 students. The researcher selected the respondents through simple random sampling technique. The study adopted ex-post facto research design. The instrument used for data collection was structured questionnaire. Three experts validated the instrument. Internal consistency of the instrument was determined using Cronbach alpha reliability method and reliability coefficient values of 0.98 was obtained. Pearson’s Correlation were used to analyze the data for answering research questions while correlation Analysis was used to test the hypotheses of no significance difference at 0.05 level of significance. The study found that, there is direct positive teacher - students’ relationship, high positive students’-students’, direct negative teacher- students’ involvement, high positive Teacher- student Basic Electricity Task orientation, direct negative students’- students’ competition, direct negative Teacher- students classroom management as it enhance academic achievement in Basic Electricity. It was recommended that more task orienting exercises should be organized for Basic Electricity students to keep them more socially related as well as up competing. This could be achieved through organizing quizzes, group work, individual and group presentations.
The study presented in this article investigated the impact of exposure to the target language on students’ EFL and FFL improvement at “11 Janvier” high school in Morocco. This qualitative research considered that more exposure to the target language in the classroom is more influencing than language instruction in class. In this way, this study assumed that using the target language communicatively outweighs learning language rules in a language vacuum. The study surveyed 30 teachers of English and French and demonstrated that when language is more utilized either for instruction or for simple communication, the linguistic skills of students improve more considerably. However, when the target language is just a language that represents rules, functions, and irrelevant texts, the outcome is always poor. The study concluded with implications that could be implemented by teachers of languages in different school levels.

This study is motivated to identify the impact of the public sector corruption on economic growth in the Asian Region over the period of 2008-2018. Corruption Perception Index (CPI) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) are used as proxies to measure the public sector corruption in the countries and the economic growth respectively. The sample represents 24 countries out of 48 countries in the Asian region and it covers 11 years period of GDP data and CPI data. Granger Causality test is employed to identify the causality between CPI and GDP. The result of the Granger Causality Test reveals that there is no significant causality impact between CPI and GDP. Subsequently, Panel data regression has been used to measure the impact of corruption on economic growth. The result of random effect panel regression shows positive impact of CPI on GDP which is not statistically significant at 5% level. Further, Co-integration test has been used to test long run association between the variables as well as Fully Modified The Least Square Method to illustrate the relationship between corruption and economic growth in the Asian region. The result of co-integration test reveals that there is long run association between CPI and GDP. Consequently, the Fully Modified Least Square method shows the positive impact of CPI on GDP which is also not statistically significant at 5% level. Overall result reveals that there is no significant impact of CPI on GDP in the Asian region. This finding is important for government of each regional country for further to manage the corruptions in the country and public service providers for making their decision-making process. Keywords: Co-integration Test, Corruption Perception Index, Economic Growth, Granger Causality Test, Gross Domestic Product, Public Sector Corruption and Random Effect Panel Regression
