Change management is fast becoming a key strategy for driving business expansion, especially in the financial sector; hence, its importance for banks in Nigeria cannot be overemphasized. This study examines the effect of change management on employees' satisfaction in Nigerian banking sector. The study recognized and employed two components of change management as used by various scholars and these two components are; change implementation and change communication.The study employed survey research design, by administering structured questionnaire on members of staff of some selected banks.Three hypotheses were formulated and the ordinary least square was employed in estimating the regression models with the aid of SPSS version 23. The findings revealed that change implementation and change communication both have positive and significant effect on employees' satisfaction in the banks. The combine effect of change management elements (change implementation and change communication) equally revealed a positive and significant effect on employees' satisfaction. The study further revealed that change management elements have a combined adjusted coefficient of 2 determination (adjusted R ) of 0.476, which suggest that 47.6% variation in employees' satisfaction is accounted for by the combined change management elements. The empirical findings of this study provide evidence that change management plays an important role in bank's employees' satisfaction in Nigeria. Therefore, it can be concluded that change management elements (change implementation and change communication) both have individual and combined positive and significant effect on employees' satisfaction in the selected banks.

This paper investigates how ethnic diversity influenced capital formation in West African countries using a cross-country dataset ranging from 1991 to 2017. Using the fully modified ordinary least square method, the results showed that one of the important factors responsible for capital formation in the region is ethnic diversity. Other factors found influencing capital formation in the region were interest rate, foreign direct investment, inflation rate and financial development. Thus, the government should ensure that the countries' resources are not controlled and beneficial to the people with the same cultural groups as it accounted for the poor state of the region's investment base.

In the light of the pervasiveness of non-trained digital gate-keepers in the media environment and the broadcast media feeding off on news content created by the digital media users, the gate-keeping suffers interference in the hands of non-media professionals. This is as a result of exposure to, and ready accessibility to devices that can be used by non-media professionals to transmit information via the internet, this paper examines the kind of information they generate, through interactive web sites using smart phones devices, and how this information is subsequently processed for the traditional broadcast media's use. The study further examined roles that could be played by professionals in the traditional broadcast media, in cross- checking contents created by these digital media users. The study employed Survey as a research design. Three hundred and eighty six (386) questionnaires were administered to respondents in Ikeja, Lagos State using the Convenience sampling technique, while In-depth interview was also conducted on news broadcast professionals in selected media houses. Data analysis was done using Simple descriptive statistics, while presentation was done using frequency tables. The findings revealed that digital media users, many of whom are mainly non-journalists, perform gate-keeping tasks on their content using digital devices. The study also revealed that digital media users share in the journalistic role of creating contents, but such contents were found not conforming to ethical standards of the professionals. However, it was found out that in making use of User Generated Contents, the traditional media have in place some relatively gate-keeping procedures. In conclusion, it can be deduced from this study that the media landscape is shared by non-journalists whose content output are useful in providing additional news materials to the traditional media, yet such content were not subjected to gate-keeping procedures before being offered for use. Therefore, in the light of the findings from this study, it is recommended that traditional broadcast media may encourage the patronage of User Generated Content, but in doing so, they must ensure strict gate-keeping.

: those who want to develop themselves and become assets to the organization. The role of the secretarial staff as the custodian of information in the university cannot be over-emphasized. The performance of the secretarial staff depends on the knowledge, skills and abilities possessed by them. This study examined the extent to which employability skills and organizational citizenship behaviour would predict innovative work behaviour of University secretarial staff in South-West, Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive research design of ex-post facto type. Nine (9) hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The sample for the study consisted of 1,209 (one thousand two hundred and nine) secretarial staff in 36 (thirty-six) universities in South-West, Nigeria selected through stratified random sampling technique. Four (4) instruments were used for data collection namely: Demographic Data Form, Graduate Employability Scale (GESS), 'r'=0.86; Organisational Citizenship Behaviour Scale (OCBS), 'r'=0.96; and Innovative Work Behaviour Scale (IWBS), 'r'=0.95. Multiple Regression Analysis (MRA) and Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) were used to analyse the data at 0.05 level of significance. The results showed that there was a significant composite contribution of employability skills, organisational citizenship behaviour to the innovative work behaviour of university secretarial staff (R2 = .90, F(2,1166) = 0.109). Employability skills (â= -0.004; t=0.233) and organisational citizenship behaviour (â=0.011, t=0.404) had relative contribution to innovative work behaviour, but organisational citizenship behaviour was the most potent contributor to innovative work behaviour. It was concluded that employability skills and organisational citizenship behaviour jointly predicted the innovative work behaviour of University secretarial staff in South-West, Nigeria. The study recommended, among others, that the secretarial staff should endeavour to seek for more knowledge to equip them with relevant employability skills that will make them to be assets to the organisation The University secretarial staff should be exposed to regular training programmes with emphasis on how to enhance their employability skills and further improve their creativity.

This study assessed the involvement of women in oil palm processing in Ile-Oluji/Oke-Igbo Local Government Area of Ondo State where 120 women palm oil processors were sampled. Interview schedule was used and the data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and Chi- square analysis. Results revealed that respondents were still in their active age, 69.5%were below 40years of age, majority(85.8%)were married, while majority (60/7% were Christians, 60.0%were farmers, 35.8% were traders while 2.5% were hair-dressers. The results indicated that about 52.5% of respondents had 1-5 household members. Furthermore 35.0% of the respondents had14-19 years of farming experience. Chi-square analysis revealed that there is significant relationship between involvement of women in oil palm processing and some socio-economic characteristic like marital 2 status (x = 6.066); education among the processing methods. Advisory services to the women palm oil processors by agricultural extension agency to enhance adoption of modern integrated technology to reduce stress and increase productivity was recommended; Keywords: Involvement, palm oil processors, women, productivity, integrated technology 2 2 (x = 10.007) and income (x = 43.008).Only digestion was significant among the processing methods.

The application of the principles of statutory interpretation cuts across every area of legal practice. This position attests to the importance of the principle of statutory interpretation to legal practice. However, legal curriculum in Nigeria and in most common law countries both at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels has failed to give this area of law the prominence it deserved in their respective law curriculla. Aside from this, the continued classification of the various rules of interpretation as distinct/separate rules of interpretation makes this field of study unintelligible and difficult to comprehend because of the complexity of words. In addition, each of the principal rules of statutory interpretation has inherent shortcomings, which has led to delay in judicial administration and caused injustice. Consequently, this paper reiterates the need to play emphasis on this area of study in law curriculum, ex-rays the current rules of statutory interpretation as applicable in Nigeria, and draws inspiration from the practice in English and Indian jurisdictions. It also advocates that resort should be had to the purposive approach which is a harmonization of the principal rules of statutory interpretation subject to emerging realities of justice and developments in order to ensure that the end of justice are appropriately served.

There are several legal instruments and court judgments relating to the energy sector in Nigeria. The country is also a signatory to some vital United Nations General Assembly Resolutions on energy, yet the availability, affordability and accessibility of clean energy in the country to the teeming masses of people in the country is abysmally low. Among other factors, this work identified energy illiteracy as one of the potent factors militating against the enthronement of clean renewable energy in Nigeria at a level that it is available and affordable to the people. This gap in the law in theory and practical reality informed this paper. The negative effects of the gap are numerous cutting across the social, health, educational, agricultural, cultural, recreational and other strata of the society.

board independence, board gender diversity and board meetings on the market performance of Nigerian quoted non-financial firms from 2010 to 2019. The used ex post facto research design and the sample included eighteen (18) quoted non-financial firms. The data analysis was carried out with the aid of Generalised Method of Moment (GMM) via E-view software. The results showed that board independence and board meetings exhibited a significant effect on market performance while board size and board gender diversity displayed an insignificant effect on market performance. Therefore, it was recommended that the non-executive directors should be selected based on their experience and business knowledge expertise while regular board meetings should also be held by the board.

(Statutory) marriage is a sacred contract that is meant to endure the vicissitudes of life. Unfortunately, marital conflicts sometimes escalate between couples to the point of judicial separation or divorce due to irreconcilable differences with emotional, physical and financial stress upon couples, their children and even the society. Consequently, this article draws on the author's empirical research, discussions with a family law lecturer, review of divorce mediation literature, and analysis of Nigerian statutes, case-law and rules of court to consider the opportunities and challenges for mandatory divorce mediation in Nigeria. The paper also contextualizes the effectiveness of mediating ancillary claims like child custody and visitation, maintenance, property settlement, etc., within the emerging Multi-Door Court (MDC) system to avoid damage and stress associated with divorce ligation. The paper therefore contributes to ongoing debate on the merits of divorce mediation as alternative to litigation based on the MDC system of justice. Ultimately, the paper concludes that mandatory divorce mediation in Ogun State would considerably reduce the caseload of judges, protect the dignity and post-divorce relationships of divorcing couples, and protect children from emotional harm arising from the break-ups of 'eggshell' marriages.
