Field experiment was conducted during the 2023 rainy season at Teaching and Research Farm of Faculty of Agriculture, Federal University of Kashere (Latitude 90 54’ 46’’N, Longitude 110 0’ 27’’E at 431 m above the sea level) Akko Local Government Area, Gombe State and at the Teaching and Research Farm of the Federal College of Horticulture Dadinkowa, Yamaltu-Deba Local Government Area, Gombe State. The treatments consisted of a factorial combination of three varieties of soybean (TGX-20D, TGX-1951 and TGX1448-2E) and three plant spacing of (20, 30 and 40 cm). These were laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The results of the study showed that soybean variety TGX1448-2E significantly produced higher of (9.35 t/ha) yield than TGX-20D (9.04 t/ha) and TGX-1951 (9.03 t/ha). The 40 cm plant spacing, significantly enhanced yield of (9,868.332 kg) than 20 (8,415.833kg) and 30 cm plant spacing (9,133.333 kg). Therefore, TGX1448-2E and 40 cm plant spacing should be used by farmers who grow soybean based from their superior performances by producing higher growth and yield of soybean.

The purpose of this study is to examine the factors influencing police legitimacy and public trust in the South African Police Service (SAPS), and to explore how these factors affect the effectiveness of policing and crime prevention. The study aims to provide evidencebased recommendations to strengthen police-community relations and improve policing outcomes in South Africa. Despite the transition to democratic policing since 1994, SAPS continues to face a significant legitimacy crisis characterized by low public trust, high levels of crime, and persistent institutional challenges such as corruption, inefficiency, and weak accountability. This trust deficit undermines public cooperation, reduces crime reporting, and limits the overall effectiveness of policing. The study adopts a systematic literature review methodology, drawing on both South African and international sources. It integrates theoretical frameworks such as procedural justice, legitimacy theory, and community policing to analyze existing research, policy documents, and empirical studies. This approach enables a comprehensive and critical understanding of the relationship between police practices, public perceptions, and policing effectiveness. The study finds that public trust in SAPS remains low due to corruption, misconduct, and operational inefficiencies. Community policing initiatives, while valuable, are insufficient without broader structural reforms. Procedural justice characterized by fairness, respect, and transparency emerges as a key determinant of public cooperation. Additionally, visible policing strategies such as foot patrols improve community perceptions of safety, while international evidence highlights the importance of data-driven and intelligence-led policing approaches. The study concludes that restoring police legitimacy in South Africa requires a holistic and integrated approach that combines ethical leadership, strengthened accountability systems, community engagement, and technological innovation. Addressing the underlying structural challenges is essential for rebuilding public trust, enhancing policing effectiveness, and promoting safer, more secure communities.

This study examined the effect of the Treasury Single Account (TSA) on financial accountability in selected Federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) in the South– South region of Nigeria, with financial accountability proxied by budget execution efficiency. The study adopted a descriptive and explanatory survey research design and relied on primary data collected through structured questionnaires administered to finance-related staff of five Federal MDAs. A total of 175 valid responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression techniques. The results revealed that TSA implementation has a significant positive effect on financial accountability in Nigerian MDAs. Specifically, TSA coverage exerted the strongest influence on budget execution efficiency, indicating that wider integration of MDAs into the TSA framework enhances adherence to approved budgets and strengthens fiscal discipline. TSA compliance level was also found to significantly improve budget execution efficiency, underscoring the importance of enforcement and institutional discipline in achieving accountability outcomes. Furthermore, cash consolidation efficiency and revenue remittance efficiency both exhibited positive and statistically significant effects on budget execution efficiency, suggesting that efficient pooling of government cash resources and timely remittance of revenues improve liquidity management and support effective budget implementation. The regression model demonstrated strong explanatory power, confirming that TSA-related variables jointly account for a substantial proportion of variations in budget execution efficiency across the selected MDAs. The study concludes that the Treasury Single Account is an effective public financial management reform for enhancing financial accountability in Nigerian MDAs when fully implemented and complied with. It recommends full TSA coverage, stricter enforcement of compliance, strengthened cash management systems, and continuous capacity building for public finance officers to sustain accountability gains.

This research explores the creation of truth in digital journalism through the dissemination of accurate information and combating media misinformation. The study employed a qualitative method to gather insights on developing comprehensive frameworks for assessing information credibility, challenges faced by journalists, and collaborative models for promoting media literacy. Key findings indicate a strong consensus on the necessity of frameworks that integrate technological tools and human cognitive factors to assess credibility. Journalists face significant barriers, including cognitive overload, algorithmic obfuscation, and source ambiguity. Collaborative models involving journalists, educators, and technology platforms are essential for promoting media literacy and reducing misinformation. The research highlights the importance of evaluating media literacy initiatives through pre- and postintervention assessments, knowledge-based tests, behavioral measures, surveys, and longitudinal studies. By addressing these areas, digital journalism can enhance public understanding and decrease susceptibility to misinformation. The study provides insights into strategies for combating misinformation, including advanced verification techniques, cognitive bias mitigation, and interdisciplinary collaboration. These findings have implications for journalists, educators, technology platforms, and policymakers seeking to promote media literacy and combat misinformation in digital journalism.
