ABSTRACT

This study examined the impact of tax incentives on FDI in Nigeria. Eleven firms taken for study for over the period of 1998 to 2017 were sampled. Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation were used in analysis and to establishing the preliminary relationship between the variables and finally the Ordinary Least Square (OLS). Multiple regression was also used to establish the effect of the tax incentives of FDI. The study has established evidence of tax incentives in attracting FDI in Nigeria. All the variables were positively significant at various levels of significance except infrastructure development, which was negative and insignificant.

Key words: Tax Incentive, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), Economic growth, Nigeria

ABSTRACT

The concept of entrepreneurship in whatsoever disciple extends not only to the theoretical aspects of entrepreneurship as demonstrated in the class situation as a business knowledge acquisition but rather, its applicability should be more of practices that will sustain both the trainer and the trainees as a profession Many people ignorantly claimed that the digital revolution has indicated the downfall of libraries; some forget the fact that libraries are longer made up of the collection of physical books and static information repositories but, globalized access to information resources linked all together. Entrepreneurial librarianship has been considered as one of the most viable or virgin areas of business that is yet to be adequately exploited. Owing to the value of the nature of the field and the benefits people stand to gain out of it, numerous groups came up intending to take over the business because most of the professional librarians who would have taken over the task are not yet ready to meet up with the information needs of the century. This study is an attempt to unveil some of the fundamental ingredients of the current profession that were missing in most of our librarians today. The study hammered on who a professional librarian is; the qualities required of an entrepreneurial librarian; challenges associated with the business in question and, strategies were proffered to enable them to remain relevant to move on with the business.

ABSTRACT

The study was carried to ascertain the effect of oil and non-oil revenue of the government on economic growth of Nigeria. The scope of the research covers a period of thirty-five years running from 1981 to 2015. The researcher made use of multiple linear regression models. Secondary data on oil and non-oil revenue of the government for the period were collected from CBN statistical bulletin. Economic growth which is the dependent variable was represented by gross domestic product (GDP). The researcher applied the augmented Dickey-Fuller unit root test, co-integration test and error correction model in analysis of data. From the findings, oil and non-oil revenue exerted a positive and significant effect on gross domestic product. On this premise, the study recommended that more can be done to increase revenue generation through non-oil producing sectors of the economy by making available enabling environment and incentives that can facilitate economy diversification. Also, the researcher further suggested vesting the right for oil production solely in Nigeria owned companies like the NNPC other than sharing such with expatriate firms.

ABSTRACT

The goal of this work is to obtain tunneling probability of a gamma particle. The application of Schrӧdinger’s equation in barrier penetration has been applied to gamma particle decay for light, medium and heavy nuclei. Gamma particle tunneling probability has been calculated analytically. Decay probability computed for each gamma particle emitting nucleus shows interesting variations. Log plot of calculated Decay constant plotted against atomic number (Z), mass number (A) and Energy for gamma particle emitting nucleus shows the variations interesting.   Half-life which is a function of decay probability plotted against gamma particle energy or against atomic number of gamma particle emitting nucleus shows the variations of decay probabilities. Log plot of Calculated Half-life plotted against atomic number (Z), mass number (A) and Energy for gamma particle emitting nucleus shows interesting variations of decay probabilities. Calculated half-lives compared with experimental half-lives for each gamma particle emitting nucleus shows results which are in good agreement.

Key word: Schrӧdinger’s equation, Emission, Half-life, Gamma and Decay constant.

ABSTRACT

This research work investigates the relationship between agricultural produced and its economic growth in Nigeria using the VAR (vector autoregression) approach. It adopted the secondary data sourced from Central Bank of Nigeria covering the monthly average data period from 2016 to 2020. The unit root test for stationarity found all variable to be stationary at first difference 1(1). Johansen cointegration test conducted found out that there are at least three (3) cointegrating equations at 5% level of significant indicating a long run relationship between the variables. The vector error correction model (VECM) reveals that economy would restore its previous equilibrium by 9.4496 % speed of adjustment. A unit increase in agricultural exports would bring a proportionate increase in the Gross Domestic Product in Nigeria.

Keywords: Agricultural products, Stationary Time Series, VAR (vector autoregression), Johansen cointegration test, and the Gross Domestic Product in Nigeria.
