  • The Effects of Mergers and Acquisition on Corporate Growth and Profitability

    The Effects of Mergers and Acquisition on Corporate Growth and Profitability

    GLOBAL JOURNAL OF BUSINESS RESEARCH ♦ VOLUME 7 ♦ NUMBER 1 ♦ 2013 THE EFFECTS OF MERGERS AND ACQUISITION ON CORPORATE GROWTH AND PROFITABILITY: EVIDENCE FROM NIGERIA Sylvester Feyi Akinbuli, University of Lagos, Distance Learning Institute Ikechukwu Kelilume, Lagos Business School ABSTRACT It is a widely held view that a strategic solution to financial distress in corporate organizations is mergers and acquisitions. This view remains a presumption, which has not been empirically tested through a research study. Corporate organizations facing difficulty have in recent times often followed or are compelled by regulators to follow the path of extensive reconstruction through mergers and acquisitions, apparently as the only option to liquidation. This paper fills a gap in the literature by investigating the effects of mergers and acquisitions on the efficiency, growth and profitability of corporate organizations in the post consolidated environment of the Nigerian banking industry. The methodology used is a survey of companies incorporated in Nigeria under the Companies and Allied Matters Act [1990], which have undergone a merger or an acquisition process. The elements of the survey were selected randomly. A total of ten incorporated banks were selected using simple random sampling technique. The collected data were analyzed using key financial ratios. The results support the idea that mergers and acquisitions are not a prima facie solution to the problem of financial distress in corporate organizations. This is especially so when mergers are regulatory imposed than business environment driven. The study further revealed that while mergers and acquisitions can drive growth and profitability in some organizations, operating efficiency suffers at least in the short-term in the post merger and acquisition corporate entity.

Ibeje There are many land uses applied at Ikeduru L.G.A. in Imo State, Department of Civil Nigeria, thus, the area is selected as a case study. The objective of Engineering, Imo State University, P.M.B. 2000, study is to determine the effects of land use on infiltration by three Owerri, Nigeria. different land use types; 34 of them are in farmlands, 34 in Bamboo field and 32 in forestlands. Within each land use type, multiple regression are used to determine degree of association between the rates of infiltration, moisture content, porosity, bulk density and particle sizes. Non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance is used to determine whether significant differences in infiltration rates existed between different land uses. The mean steady state infiltration rate of farmlands, bamboo fields and forestland are 1.98 cm/h, 2.44cm/h and 2.43cm/h respectively. The regression model shows that infiltration rate decreases with increase in moisture content and bulk density but increases with the increase of soil particle sizes and porosity.

  • Enugu State, Nigeria Out-Of-School Children Survey Report

    Enugu State, Nigeria Out-Of-School Children Survey Report

    ENUGU STATE, NIGERIA OUT-OF-SCHOOLCHILDREN SURVEY REPORT October, 2014 PREFACE The challenge of school-aged children who for one reason or another did not enrol in school at all or enrolled and later dropped out for whatever reason has been a perennial challenge to education the world over. Nigeria alone is said to house over 10 million out of school children. This is in spite of the universal basic education programme which has been running in the country since 1999. For Enugu State, it is not clear what the state contributes to that national pool of children who are reported to be out of school. Given the effort of the State Government in implementing the universal basic education programme, it is easy to assume that all children in Enugu State are enrolled and are attending school. This kind of assumption might not give us the benefit of knowing the true state of things as they relate to out-of-school children in our State. This is even more so given the State’s development and approval of the Inclusive Education Policy, which has increased the challenge of ensuring that every child of school age, no matter his or her circumstance of birth or residence, has access to quality education; hence, the need to be concerned even for only one child that is out of school. It is, therefore, in a bid to ascertain the prevalence of the incidence of children who are outside the school system, whether public or private, that the Ministry of Education and Enugu State Universal Basic Education Board collaborated with DFID-ESSPIN and other stakeholders to conduct the out of school children’s survey.

The study identified most of all the known rivers in Imo State and provided information like relief, topography and other geographical features of the major rivers which are crucial to aid water management for a sustainable water infrastructure in the communities of the watershed. The rivers and lakes are classified into five watersheds (river basins) such as Okigwe watershed, Mbaise / Mbano watershed, Orlu watershed, Oguta watershed and finally, Owerri watershed. The knowledge of the river basins in Imo State will help analyze the problems involved in water resources allocation and to provide guidance for the planning and management of water resources in the state for sustainable development. Keywords: Rivers; Basins/Watersheds; Water allocation; • What minimum reservoir capacity will be sufficient to assure Sustainability adequate water for irrigation or municipal water supply, during droughts? Introduction • How much quantity of water will become available at a reservoir An understanding of the hydrology of a region or state is paramount site, and when will it become available?

The sample size of the study was 100 respondents who were randomly selected from farmers in the area who benefited from the free distribution of the nets by Rivers State Government. The questionnaire was used in eliciting data from the respondents. Data were analyzed with percentage, mean score and multiple regression. Socio-economic result shows that the respondents on the average were 40 years old, earned monthly net income of N24,184.00 ($121.38) and spent 11 years in schooling. More results indicated that while the ownership of the net was as high as 71.73%, the actual utilization was as low as 28.27%. Result of multiple regression analysis indicated a multiple determination (R2) value of 0.6333. Determinants of the utilization of the net were age, sex, occupation and educational level of the respondents. The two major constraints in the utilization of the net in the area were inadequate information and poor design and inconvenience of hanging. In order to improve the rate of utilization of the net in the area, the study recommends enhanced information which will lead to a better education of the beneficiaries.
