This research undertakes a comprehensive statistical analysis of Nigeria's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) spanning a decade, with a focus on estimating Autoregressive (AR) models using two prominent statistical methods: the Yule-Walker method and the Least Squares method. The study aims to provide statistical insights into the underlying dynamics of Nigeria's economic performance during this period. The research commences by delineating the statistical framework of ARmodels, which offer a statistical representation of a time series based on its past values. Subsequently, the Yule-Walker method is introduced, a statistical technique leveraging autocorrelation functions to estimate AR model parameters. The statistical properties of Yule-Walker estimators are elucidated in the context of Nigeria's GDP data. In contrast, the Least Squares method is presented as an alternative statistical approach, characterized by its objective to minimize the sum of squared prediction errors. A statistical framework for the least squares estimators is outlined, providing insights into the statistical properties of parameter estimates and their significance in explaining variations in Nigeria's GDP. The core of the research involves the statistical analysis of Nigeria's GDP time series data over the 10-year period. Both the Yule-Walker and Least Squares methods are applied to estimate AR models tailored to the GDP data. The statistical comparison is based on goodness-of-fit statistics, such as the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), to evaluate the models' adequacy in capturing the statistical patterns within the GDP dataset.

This study investigated the impact of factors of leadership style on the engagement of non- academic staf at the University of Benin yielded.

Radiology request forms (RRFs) are crucial tools that facilitate communication between referring clinicians and radiology departments, ensuring appropriate and justified imaging studies. When these forms are poorly completed, it can lead to diagnostic mistakes, treatment delays, unnecessary radiation exposure, and increased healthcare costs. This study evaluated how thoroughly referring physicians completed RRFs at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH) and RayTouch Diagnostic Center in Benin City. A retrospective review of 1,600 forms submitted from June to November 2024 assessed key elements such as patient data, clinical background, requested imaging,and physician information. Completion rates were generally high—83.2% for patient identification, 94.2% for clinical history, 95.2%forimaging requests, and 94.9% for physician details—with UBTH performing better overall. Nevertheless, notable gaps, especially inpatient identification, were observed. Survey responses from21healthcare professionals revealed that incomplete forms often led to repeated tests, diagnostic errors, and operational inefficiencies. A statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) was observed between the two facilities. These results highlight the importance of implementing electronic RRF systems, ongoing training for clinicians, and institutional policies to improve documentation. Such measures could enhance diagnostic precision, reduce unnecessary procedures, and improve patient safety.
