This research work examined the rate of unemployment in Nigeria. The data used was a secondary data obtained from World Bank on twenty -three observations. The research studied the relationship between unemployment rate and population growth in Nigeria using the chi square analysis, it also examined the impact of inflation, population growth and unemployment rate on GDP using the kruskal Wallis analysis. The Analysis shows that unemployment does not depend on population growth and also population growth and unemployment rate show a significant effect on GDP while inflation does not exhibit statistically significant relationship in the analysis, and unemployment rate show an increasing trend. Based on the outcome of the research it was recommended that government should support and provide incentives for entrepreneurship, encouraging others to start businesses and create job opportunities for others.

The purpose of this project titled “illustrations of measurement while drilling, weight on bit and torque on drilling performance” is to increase drilling efficiency in directional wells, peaks and troughs are characteristic of the nature of the oil and gas industry. With current prices hovering just above $60 per barrel (Bloomberg, 2019), it has never been a better time to increase the efficiency of the drilling process. This research focuses on the control of surface parameters to understand vibrations in directional wells; this paper discusses actual cases where the use of data from these downhole sensors has improved drilling performance In conclusion to this research parameters such as WOB and RPM were varied and their effects on depth drilled, response torque, ROP, MSE were studied
for vertical well configuration and directional well configurations.

This study was carried out to investigate the school climate as a correlate of students’ academic performance. To guide the study, seven research questions were raised, out of which six were hypothesized and tested at 0.05 level of significance.
The descriptive survey research design was adopted in this study. The population of this study was made up of 13,051 public senior secondary school students. The sample size of 300 was selected using the multi-stage sampling procedure (i.e. involving purposive and simple random sampling). The purposive sampling technique was used to select ten (10) public secondary schools in the locality, as the entire public secondary schools were too large for the study. The simple random sampling technique was used to choose the sample from the available population. A total of ten public secondary schools was selected at random with 30 students representing each school, the technique is relevant because there will be a chance of equal selection and representation of the schools involved; these constituted the sample size of the study. A research instrument was used, titled: “School Climate as a Correlate of Students Academic Performance Questionnaire” (SCSAPQ). The instrument was validated by the researcher’s supervisor and two other experts in the Department of Educational Management. The cronbach alpha statistics was used to establish the reliability of the instrument and the r-value of 0.76 was obtained. Data were analysed using descriptives (frequency counts, percentages, means, standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Pearson correlation, Analysis of Co-variance (ANCOVA), and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)).
The findings revealed that school climate does not negatively affect students academic performance; as it can be said they had a good/fairly good performance; there was no significant relationship between school climate and students academic performance in Oredo LGA; there was no significant difference between school climate and students academic performance based on age; there was no significant difference between school climate and students academic performance based on sex; there was no significant difference between school climate and students academic performance based on location; there was no significant difference between school climate and students academic performance based on school type; and there was no significant difference between school climate and students academic performance based on class size. It was concluded that school climate does not negatively affect students academic performance as no significant relationship existed between the two variables as well as other intervening variables as age, sex, location, school type and class size. It was chiefly recommended that in promoting students performance, reliance should not solely be on the school climate, but other factors should be considered such as students’ motivational beliefs and
interest.

ABSTRACT
The study investigated the “Youth Political Participation and Student Union Election in Nigeria: A case study of University of Benin” it ascertains if Nigeria youth are actively participating in politics or not using the student union election as the point of analysis. The Study adopted a quantitative research method with survey instruments developed to gather data analysis. Findings after the Survey revealed that Participating in politics by the youth is low and is caused by some challenges. It’s important to note that the findings supported that bad leadership and poor representation from past political leaders has led to the downward trend of participation by the youths. It was further advised that the government should stage an awareness campaign to enlighten the citizens and youth most especially on the need why they should participate in political activities and also encourage youth political advocacy group to encourage political participation amongst the youth.

Journalism as a whole has developed and moved into a more modernized form which is on various digital platforms. News stories, articles, editorials etc. have all moved online without the hardcopy dying off but there has been a drastic decrease in hardcopy readership. This further encouraged media houses to take their contents online, to also build online readership. There are various factors that come to play to ensure that these online readers being targeted actually see, hear or watch the contents and one of the most important is Search Engine Optimisation aka SEO.Search Engine Optimisation has become a deciding factor on who gets to see what and what gets seen by web users. It’s a new media skill that has become important in the news room for web journalists but adequate research hasn’t been conducted. It still remains a big mystery to many modern journalists. This work studies the level of impact and influence this SEO has on web contents visibility to their target web browser. This study uses two of the world’s most popular search engines as case study. Google and Yahoo although different are both search engines that have algorithms that contribute to contents visibility.

Companies must carry out various businesses, one of which is by supervising each production process in order to produce quality products. Quality control is required within a company to minimize operational costs in products. Good quality control will assist in the fluency of the production process, so that the production activity will reach its target. Companies will find means to implement a quality control system that is capable and reliable. One of the methods is using Statistical Process Control (SPC). The case studied in this project was the bottled palm wine product in NIFOR palm wine bottling unit. This research is centered on the quality of nifor bottled palm wine due to breakages during pasteurization. The SPC used is the Control chart (p chart). Based on the analysis of control chart, it is indicated that the process is in control. This can be seen in the control charts where there is the absence of outliers. In the month of January, February, March and April, there are zero out of bounds. Thus the Enterprise can take to maintain and monitor current processes by regular quality checks and statistical monitoring to ensure that the process remains in control.

This study examines the complex dynamics of intergroup relations and their impact on the socio-economic and political development of the Ukwuani Local Government Area (LGA) in Delta State, Nigeria, throughout the post-colonial era. Focusing specifically on the interactions between the Ukwuani-speaking majority and various non-indigenous settler groups (including Igbos, Urhobos, and others), the research employs a historical-analytical approach, drawing upon archival records, key informant interviews, and ethnographic data.
The findings reveal that the creation and subsequent administrative evolution of the LGA were profoundly influenced by a cyclical tension between ethnic solidarity (Ukwuani nativism) and the economic necessity of pluralism. Intergroup relations are characterized by periods of collaborative coexistence, particularly in market activities and religious life, interspersed with episodes of competition and conflict, primarily over land tenure, resource allocation, and political office. The abstract argues that while the presence of diverse groups has historically spurred commercial growth and infrastructural development—evidenced by the growth of major towns like Obiaruku and Abbi —it has also fostered a political culture dominated by indigene-settler identity politics, which often stalls policy implementation and exacerbates inequality in the distribution of development projects.
The work concludes that the trajectory of post-colonial development in Ukwuani LGA is not simply a function of federal or state policy, but is a direct reflection of how successfully—or unsuccessfully—local leaders have managed the inherent friction between promoting a unified 'Ukwuani' identity and harnessing the productive capacity of its multi-ethnic populace. It recommends a shift toward an inclusive, rights-based citizenship model at the local level to unlock sustainable and equitable development.

The study was carried out to examine how Information and Communication Technology has impacted on the development of accounting professionals in Nigeria. The study is an exploratory study which used the survey strategy with a deductive approach and quantitative method. The research instrument employed in this study is the close-ended questionnaire administered to the staff members of selected accounting firms. The data which was gathered from the research instrument are analyzed using the Ordinary Least Square method and descriptive and inferential statistics. The statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) was used for data analysis. The main findings from the study indicates that Artificial Intelligence, Cloud computing and Blockchain have a positive and significant relationship with the development of accounting professionals. The study concluded that the positive relationship which exists between artificial intelligence, blockchain, cloud computing, education and the development of accounting professionals emphasizes the importance of embracing innovation and investing in education within the accounting profession. The researcher recommended that accounting firms should embrace
artificial intelligence, adopt cloud computing, leverage blockchain technology and focus on education and continuous learning in order to achieve proper development for accounting professionals.

The study assessed the state of Biology laboratories during Biology practical’s in senior secondary schools, to make this possible, three research questions were raised to determine whether laboratory facilities are available in secondary schools in Ovia north East Local government area, the influence of laboratory on secondary students practical skills in Biology and if Biology students perform better in Biology with laboratory facilities
Descriptive survey research design was adopted to accomplish the purpose of the study. The population of the study consists of 29 teachers from 29 public secondary schools in Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo State and 12 accessible teachers were selected as sample for the study using simple random sampling technique. The instrument for data collection was the questionnaire developed by the researcher and was validated by the researcher’s supervisor and two other experts from the Department of Curriculum and Instructional Technology. A reliability coefficient was 0.82 was obtained using Cronbach Alpha correlation coefficient method, this showed that the instrument was highly reliable. The study revealed that the unavailability of Biology laboratory facilities discouraged teaching and learning during Biology practical class. Finally, the study recommends that adequate, functional and modern Biology laboratories should be built by the state government across the secondary schools in Ovia North East L.G.A and that More Biology teachers should be employed to complement the existing one, as Biology teachers in schools are grossly inadequate

The study investigated factors associated with the mass failure of students in English Language in secondary schools in Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo State. The design adopted for this study was the descriptive survey research design. Three research questions were raised to guide this study: What ways do teachers and schools contribute to students’ failure in English Language? Are parents responsible in any way to students’ mass failure in English Language in the area of study? Does the social media have any impact on the study habits of students?
The population ofthe study consisted of all the nineteen (19) secondary schools in Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo State. A sample size of one hundred (100) respondents was drawn using the simple random sampling technique. The data retrieved from respondents were analyzed by the use of a computer software statistical tool (SPSS). Results after analysis were presented on tables using Percentages, Frequency and Mean.
The study revealed that most schools do not have qualified teachers, also the school environment of some schools are not condusive for learning as well as the lack of use of instructional materials to teach students. The study therefore recommended that schools should ensure they employ teachers who have the necessary qualifications to teach English Language in schools. Also, it was recommended that schools should ensure they renovate and maintain school infrastructures and rebuild old ones. Also, it was recommended that schools should purchase instructional materials for teaching, and improvise for the ones too expensive or unavailable for purchase.
