The study examined the effect of workforce diversity on educational sustainability among the Faculty of Management Sciences academic staff in Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. The population of the study was 297 lecturers, with a sample size of 170, arrived at by applying Taro Yamane’s formula. The data was analyzed using multiple regression analysis and hypotheses tested at a 5% level of significance using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences [SPSS]. Findings reveal a significant positive effect of age diversity on educational sustainability among the academic staff of Management Sciences at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. The result of age diversity (β = 0.751, F = 439.191, and p-value < 0.05), Age diversity accounted for 56.5%, highlighting the value of intergenerational knowledge sharing and inclusivity. There is a significant positive effect of Gender diversity on educational sustainability among the academic staff of the Faculty of Management Sciences at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. The result of Gender diversity (β = 0.750, F = 541.191, and p-value < 0.05), explaining 66% of the variation, confirms that gender balance promotes fairness, participation, and institutional growth. The management of the institution needs to embrace employee diversity management strategies as this can contribute to the performance of the institution through enhanced decision-making and problem-solving by providing a range of perspectives, a broad spectrum of expertise and a more robust process for critical evaluation. Universities should integrate a diversity strategy into their long-term educational sustainability plans. Diverse staff should be engaged in designing and executing sustainability initiatives, including research, community engagement and infrastructural development.

This study evaluated the impact of supply chain optimization on the financial performance of manufacturing firms in South-East Nigeria. A descriptive survey research design was adopted, and data were collected from a sample of 147 respondents drawn from four selected manufacturing firms using a structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis. The findings revealed that inventory management (β = 0.432, p < 0.05), logistics and distribution efficiency (β = 0.385, p < 0.05), and supply chain technology adoption (β = 0.298, p < 0.05) all have significant positive effects on financial performance, with a combined explanatory power (R²) of 0.68. The study concluded that effective supply chain optimization enhances profitability and operational efficiency. It was therefore recommended that manufacturing firms adopt efficient inventory systems, improve logistics operations, and invest in modern supply chain technologies to achieve sustainable financial growth.

Background: Hyperglycemia, a key risk factor for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), has become a significant health concern globally, especially in urbanizing areas. Taxi drivers, with their sedentary work environment, long hours, and irregular eating habits, may be at higher risk for metabolic disorders such as hyperglycemia. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of hyperglycemia and identify associated risk factors among taxi drivers in Agblezaa-Teshie, Greater Accra, Ghana. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 133 active taxi drivers in the Teshie Agblezaa area. Fasting blood glucose levels were measured, and sociodemographic, lifestyle, and occupational data were collected using structured questionnaires. Results: The prevalence of hyperglycemia was found to be 24.1%, with older drivers (aged 50- 59 years) and those working longer hours (9-12 hours daily) exhibiting higher rates. Lifestyle factors such as sedentary behavior, poor dietary habits, work-related stress, and low physical activity were strongly associated with hyperglycemia. While the majority of drivers were aware of general health risks related to hyperglycemia, their knowledge of specific symptoms and prevention strategies was limited. Significant barriers to healthcare access included financial constraints, time limitations, and lack of health insurance. Conclusion: The study highlights a substantial burden of hyperglycemia among taxi drivers in Agblezaa-Teshie, driven by sedentary work, poor lifestyle choices, and limited healthcare access. Targeted health interventions, including regular glucose screenings, health education, and improved healthcare access, are urgently needed to address this public health concern.

This study examined the effect of supply chain optimization on the operational efficiency of manufacturing firms in South-East Nigeria, with specific focus on inventory management, logistics and distribution, and supplier relationship management. The study adopted a survey research design, and data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to 109 employees of selected firms, out of which 102 responses were valid for analysis. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis. The results revealed that inventory management optimization had a significant positive effect on operational efficiency (β = 0.322, p = 0.001), logistics and distribution optimization also showed a significant effect (β = 0.287, p = 0.001), while supplier relationship management had the strongest influence (β = 0.341, p = 0.000). The study concluded that effective supply chain optimization significantly improves operational efficiency by reducing delays, minimizing costs, and enhancing productivity. It was therefore recommended that manufacturing firms strengthen supplier relationships, improve inventory systems, and adopt efficient logistics strategies to achieve better operational performance.
