This study examined the impact of public and private health expenditure on infant mortality in Nigeria using annual data from 1986 to 2024. Motivated by persistently high infant mortality despite rising health spending, the study employed Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS), alongside Wald and Granger causality tests, to estimate long-run relationships and causal direction. The results show that public health expenditure significantly reduces infant mortality, with a 1% increase associated with a 0.063% decline in infant deaths. Private health expenditure also has a significant negative effect, as a 1% rise reduces infant mortality by 0.050%. Per capita GDP exerts the strongest impact, with a 1% increase reducing infant mortality by 0.157%. Granger causality results indicate that public health expenditure and per capita GDP drive reductions in infant mortality, while private health expenditure is less predictive and more reactive. The study concludes that reducing infant mortality in Nigeria depends on sustained public health investment, supportive private financing, and inclusive economic growth. It recommends increased and efficient government health spending, policies that improve access to private healthcare, and broader economic measures that enhance household welfare and living standards.

This study examined the relationship between economic sustainability and tourists’ behavioural intentions—specifically revisits intention and destination loyalty—among tourists visiting attraction sites in Delta State, Nigeria. Anchored on Stakeholder Theory and the Theory of Planned Behaviour, the research addresses the limited empirical evidence regarding how destination sustainability dimensions influence tourists’ future behavioural responses within the Nigerian context. A descriptive survey design with a cross-sectional approach was adopted. Using a convenience sampling technique, structured questionnaires were administered to tourists across selected attraction sites, yielding 142 usable responses out of 150 distributed (94.67% response rate). Data were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation on SPSS. The findings revealed a strong, positive, and statistically significant relationship between economic sustainability and revisit intention (r = .624, p = .000, R^2 = 38.9\%). Similarly, economic sustainability demonstrated a strong, positive, and statistically significant relationship with destination loyalty (r = .656, p = .000, R^2 = 43.0\%). Consequently, both null hypotheses were rejected. The study concludes that economic sustainability conditions significantly influence positive post-visit tourist evaluations and future intentions. It recommends that tourism stakeholders and destination managers collaborate to establish enterprises, infrastructure, and services that meet visitors' needs while enhancing the economic well-being and living standards of host communities.

The study examined the Effects of Constructivists Approach on Performance and Retention of Genetics Concepts among Secondary School Students in Sokoto State, Nigeria. Quasi experimental research design was adopted which involves pre-test, post-test and post-posttest on two non-equivalent groups designated as experimental and control group. Two research objectives and questions guided the study while two null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significant. The population of the study consisted of 1,639 SS II students across the 10 Schools under Science and Technical Education Board in Sokoto State. Multistage sampling techniques was used to select the sample for the study, 237 SS II students were selected from four schools using intact classes. Genetics Performance Test (GPT) instrument which contained 30 items were used to collect data. The instrument was validated by experts in the field of Biology. Pilot testing was used to establish the reliability of (GPT), the reliability coefficient of 0.86 was obtained using (KR-20) formular. The independent t-test was used to test the two null hypotheses. The findings of the study revealed that there is significant difference in the performance and retention of students taught genetics using constructivists approach than those taught using conventional method. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that, Biology teachers should be encouraged adopt constructivist approach to engage the students in meaningful learning which led to enhanced performance of secondary school students in Genetics.

This study assessed the Socioeconomic Impacts of Multi-Community Collaboration Approach to Urban Development in Ayobo Town CDAs, Alimosho LGA, Lagos State, Nigeria. Many reasons have been given as to what bring about Multi-Community Collaboration Approach. One of the reasons is that, it has been observed that government cannot solve the problem of our community alone despite the growing number of government efforts and strategies to develop both urban and rural areas in the country yet, communities are being confronted with socio-economic problems. The non-conducive living condition prevalent within various communities in Ayobo as a result of inadequate of social amenities, problem of erosion, pollution lack of proper planning etc. has become a cause for concern. Therefore, to solve these problems, there is a need to develop a comprehensive strategy by using a multi-community collaboration approach that will bring communities together in order to plan and solve their problems together. As suggested by (Gigler, 1999:1) Multi-Community Collaborative actions frequently emerge from the need to address the problems of the communities through joint efforts. To achieve this, the study reviewed the concept of the Multi-Community Collaboration Approach to urban development and its problems and prospects in Ayobo Town CDAs. In Ayobo urban area which is the study area, there are 3 principal communities namely, Megida, Ijan and Igbo-Ilogbo. These (3) three communities in Urban area of Ayobo had contributed immensely through Multi-Community Collaboration Approach to the development of Ayobo as urban area. Through the use of both primary and secondary data collections from relevant sources and literatures, the study revealed that financial constrain, poor membership participation-collaboration among others are the major problems of Multi-Community Collaboration Approach. The problems were properly itemized, analyzed and possible solutions were suggested through the Multi-Community Collaboration Approach concept.
