This study examined the relationship between institutional barriers, psychological factors, and career progression among female academic staff at the UniversityofBenin, with limited input from two other Nigerian universities for contextual comparison. Descriptive results showed that many women were clustered inloweracademic ranks, had experienced delays in promotion cycles, andwereunderrepresented in leadership positions. The data also highlighted constraints suchas limited mentorship, unclear promotion guidelines, challenges balancing workandfamily life, and self-limiting behaviours such as hesitating to apply for leadershiproles. Qualitative insights strengthened these findings by illustrating howgendernorms, workplace culture, and internalised beliefs influence career decisions. Thestudy concludes that gender-based disparities in career progression remainasignificant challenge within UNIBEN. While institutional policies exist tosupport academic promotion, their implementation is inconsistent, and cultural normscontinue to disadvantage women. Individual factors such as confidence, motivation, and perceived suitability for leadership further shape career choices. Leadershiptraining for women, the university should sponsor workshops and trainingprogrammes aimed at equipping women with administrative skills and confidence. Support for Work–Life Balance, policies such as flexible schedulingandaccessible childcare services can help reduce the domestic burdenthat disproportionately affects women. This study contributes to existing literaturebypresenting current evidence on gendered career barriers in UNIBENand highlightingthe combined effect of institutional constraints and self-limiting behaviours

This work is a concise effort to critically analyze and explore the aspects of Isoko economy, as it pertains to agriculture; fishing and hunting inclusive, industry and trade. The method of acquiring land for the purpose of farming or for carrying out the economic activities is also given equal attention up to 1900. Geographically, the general topography of Isokoland is flat, and much of it is subject to annual flooding. Two distinct floods are distinguished by their causes, as well as period of occurrences, which include the heavy local rainfall, while the other is caused by flood water coming from the river Niger. The influence of the
flood pattern on economic activities is substantial, as shall be exposed in this work. However, the most outstanding physical features of the area are the two great swamps running Northeast and Southwest with a relative highland between them. Located in present day Delta State of Southern Nigeria, Isokoland is divided into two local government areas

The study examines the impact of liquidity management on the monetary performance of publicly listed deposit money institutions in Nigeria from 2012 to 2021. The main goal of this inquiry was to ascertain how these deposit money banks' financial performance is impacted by their liquidity ratio, loan-to-deposit ratio, cash reserve ratio, and capital adequacy ratio. Panel data regression techniques were used in the study's analysis. The results of the study showed a favorable correlation between the liquidity ratio and cash reserve ratio of the deposit money banks' financial performance in review, particularly their Return on Assets (ROA). These effects, however, are regarded as statistically negligible. On the other hand, although this impact is also regarded as statistically small, the loan-to-deposit ratio has a detrimental effect on the performance of deposit money institutions. Notably, the capital adequacy ratio shows that it has a statistically significant negative impact on the financial performance of deposit money institutions

The influence of dye concentration, adsorbent dosage, and contact time on the % removal of methylene blue dye (textile effluent) from aqueous solution was optimized and evaluated using a three-variable Box-Behnken design (BBD) in combination with response surface methodology (RSM). Coconut shell was utilized to make the adsorbent, which was then activated with H3PO4 after being carbonized at 600°C for an hour. Three variables dye concentration (50–200 mg/l), adsorbent dosage (g/100 ml), and contact time (10–60 mins), were varied to treat the dye solution. The responses of the linear and quadratic models that were developed for % dye removal from aqueous solution were significantly influenced by all three parameters, according to a statistical analysis of the data with p < 0.0001, the models were significant and demonstrated a strong fit with the experimental data. The adsorbent dosage and contact time had a positive impact on the percentage of dye removal. The process was optimized, and the maximum dye removal of 82% was attained at optimum dye concentration, adsorbent dosage, and contact time of 125 mg/l, 0.55 g/100 ml, and 35 min
