Abstract The Niger Delta is a region that is blessed with resources which seems to have become a curse to
the people. Historically, the region has suffered opposition given the resources found in their
region as far back the 17th century but the pervasiveness of this opposition is tracked to the oil
discovery in Nigeria which is located in the Niger delta region. Oil production has contributed
significantly to the growth of Nigeria economy but the Niger Delta region has only benefited
marginally from it given the copious Multinational Corporations (MCs) operating in the region.
Also, oil revenue to Nigeria government has not been significantly used in developing the Niger
delta economy such that poverty rate is high in the region making them among the poorest
regions of the world. The fight against this odds has led to the historical Niger Delta struggle and
a culture for the control of these resources. This paper thus examined the oil production activities
in Nigeria, the impact of oil production on the people, their exertion for resources control, and
the corollary of their activities as it relates to oil production in Nigeria. The study showed that
the region has been unfavourably affected by crude oil production as the system of governance
of common resource control has deprived them of the benefits of oil and has been the root for
struggle for the control of the resources in addition to the countless crisis in the region and the
country at large. This study therefore argue among others for enforceable laws towards oil
spillage and gas flaring control while regional sovereignty should be given to regional located
resources.

Abstract
This study on ‘The Principle of Effective and Efficient Restructuring
and the Future of the Nigerian Nation: The Role of Social Science
Education’ examines critically the meaning of Restructuring and
effective restructuring defining restructuring as a concept which
connotes the act of re-organizing, re-arranging, re-planning all the
existing institutions and structures in the society while effective and
efficient restructuring is one which encapsulate Economic, Political,
Social, Cultural Educational, Health structures and institutions of any
nation for a possible new and better result for renewed development
of man and his environment. The various types of restructuring in our
society were outlined and briefly explained with particular emphasis
and restricted attention given to Economic Restructuring. The role of
Social Science Education in achieving all round restructuring
projects for all round national development and sustained unity is
holistically discussed. The issue of entrepreneurship is also
highlighted as a positive step towards attaining Economic
Restructuring. The paper concludes by asserting that functional and
effective Entrepreneurship Education in a nation is a panacea for a
sustained restructured economy and recommendations on how to
better the process of all inclusive Economic Restructuring was
proffered.

Abstract Entrepreneurship education is a potent tool in the fight against youth unemployment. However, the
system of education in Nigeria has been structured in such a way that it is employment oriented to
the detriment of employment generation by the individuals. Hence, youth unemployment is soaring
unabatedly in Nigeria. However, if the entrepreneurship education curricula of tertiary institutions
are properly reformed and reviewed to keep in touch with the current economic trend, then youth
unemployment would certainly nosedive into the dustbin of history. This is the main thrust of the
paper. Similarly, the paper gave an overview of entrepreneurship education and its curriculum
issues. Based on the discourse, conclusion was drawn and it was recommended amongst others that
there should be a bridge in the gap between curriculum of theory and curriculum of practice to
make it more practical oriented

Abstract This study examined the impact of mixed monetary –fiscal policy measures on the performace of capital market in Nigeria. The study made use of annual data on value of stocks traded, credit to the private sector, gross domestic product, inflation domestic investment and broad money supply, political stability and quality of governance among other from 1970-2020. This study employed the vector autoregressive model, the impulse response function and variance decomposition and the result suggested that credit to the private sector and broad money supply had a negative and insignificant impact on capital market capitalization while inflation impacted positively, although insignificant on capital market performance. The result further showed that investment and government expenditure as fiscal variables had a negative and insignificant impact on capital market performance. Quality of governance negatively and insignificantly impacted on capital market performance while political stability had a positive and insignificantly impacted on capital market performance. From the variance decomposition and impulse response function, the result showed that market capitalization was strongly endogenous in predicting itself by about 93 percent in the short-run and about 86 to 85 percent in the long-run. This study therefore recommended among others the need to combine monetary and fiscal policy measures in order to stabilize prices and promote investment in the stock market.

ABSTRACT
This study examined the impact of broad money supply, credit to private sector and government
expenditure on capital market performance in Nigeria from 1970-2020. The variables of this study
are credit to the private sector, gross domestic product, inflation, and investment (domestic), and
broad money supply among other variables. This study employed vector autoregressive model, the
impulse response function and variance decomposition. Results suggested that credit to the private
sector, had a negative and insignificant impact on capital market capitalization and broad money
supply was found to be negative and insignificant. The result further showed that government
expenditure had negative and insignificant impact on capital market performance. This study
therefore recommended, among others, the need to combine the use of money supply, credit to
private sector and government expenditure to promote investment in the stock market.

serious threat to Nigerian economy. This have received attention from various scholars
emphasizing the role of growth and inequality however neglecting the role of politics in an
economy . Therefore, this study seeks to examine the role of governance in the reduction of
poverty in Nigeria. The study finds that good governance is a major missing tool that needs
to be added to other tools that will be used in the attainment of this poverty reduction goal in
Nigeria.

Abstract Government world over especially those at the threshold of development commit staggering
amounts of her revenue on human resources development. this is in recognition that a healthy
person is not only efficient but can put in more labour towards productive activities which in turn
improves the economics performance of the economy. Education also frees the individual from
shakles of ignorance, thus making him more receptive to innovations . it broadens the horizon of
knowledge of the recipients due to exposure to the intricacies of the job. The purpose of this work
is to empirically investigate the impact of human capital investment on the growth of the Nigerian
economy and knowledge shows that growth in real GDP is directly related to investment in human
capital development. Using the econometric tools of regression analysis, the result revealed a
strong correlation between the independent and dependent variables. On the whole, 66% variation
in real gross domestic is explained by variables included in the model while other variables not
included in the model explained 34% variation in the model. At the introduction of needs, 69%
variation in the growth of Ngeria is accounted for by expenditure on health and education while
the remaining 31% variation in the growth of Nigeria model is accounted for by other factors not
included in the model. The study therefore concludes that the model developed provides a good
understanding of economic growth behavior of the Nigerian economy
