Journal of Education and Practice www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1735 (Paper) ISSN 2222-288X (Online) Vol.7, No.8, 2016 Analysis of Management Practices in Lagos State Tertiary Institutions through Total Quality Management Structural Framework Abbas Tunde AbdulAzeez Faculty of Education, Lagos State University Ojo Campus, Ojo, Lagos State, Nigeria Abstract This research investigated total quality management practices and quality teacher education in public tertiary institutions in Lagos State. The study was therefore designed to analyse management practices in Lagos state tertiary institutions through total quality management structural framework. The selected public tertiary institutions in Lagos State were Lagos State University (LASU) Ojo, University of Lagos (UNILAG) Akoka, Michael Otedola College of Primary Education (MOCOPED) Inaforija, Epe, Federal College of Education Technical (FCET)Akoka, and Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education (AOCOED) Oto-Ijanikin. A descriptive survey research design was adopted. A Total Quality Management practices and Quality Teacher Education Questionnaire (TQMP-QTEQ) was used to obtain data for the study. The structured questionnaire was administered on 905 academic and non-academic staff members and final year students of sampled institutions using purposive sampling technique. The questionnaire was content-validated using expert opinion method and Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) statistics of sampling adequacy. In terms of the measure of reliability, the Cronbach’s Alpha values for the two major constructs of the study are satisfactory – quality teacher education (0.838) and TQM (0.879). Their Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) statistics of sampling adequacy were equally above the acceptable standard of 0.7. The hypotheses were tested at the 5 percent level of significance. -
HIS 272, Spring 2009
HIS 212/ECO 255/AAS 260, Africa’s Sleeping Giant: Nigeria Since the Islamic Revolution of 1804 Spring 2016 Joseph E. Inikori B & L Room 269 RRL 437 – X59020 Monday & Wednesday 10.25-11.40 am Office Hours: Wednesday, 3.00-5.00 pm I. Scope and Focus Nigeria is a West African country, 923,800 square kilometers (356, 680 square miles) in geographical area. In Africa, the country ranks as the fourteenth largest country in geographical size; but, with 177.5 million people in 2014 (World Bank, World Development Indicators 2015), it is the most populous country in Africa. The country has vast natural resources, which include large reserves of crude oil and natural gas. The people are highly talented and ambitious in their pursuit of personal economic advancement and material comfort. The American anthropologist, Daniel Smith, who has worked and researched in the country for several years since 1989, has this to say about Nigerians: In my experience, the people are outgoing, warm, and welcoming. They exude confidence and pride. For scholars and other friends of Africa who sometimes feel compelled to combat misguided stereotypes that the continent and its people are helpless and hopeless, nothing could serve as a stronger counter than witnessing ambitious, vibrant, and entrepreneurial Nigerians going about their daily lives. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, people exhibit fortitude and persevere with great resilience. As big as Nigeria is, it sometimes seems too small to contain its astonishing fury of human activity. More than any place I have ever been, there is never a dull moment [Daniel Smith, A Culture of Corruption (2007), p. -
The Nigeria-Biafra War, Popular Culture and Agitation for Sovereignty of a Biafran Nation
African Studies Centre Leiden, The Netherlands The Nigeria-Biafra war, popular culture and agitation for sovereignty of a Biafran nation ‘Rantimi Jays Julius-Adeoye ASC Working Paper 138 / 2017 1 African Studies Centre Leiden P.O. Box 9555 2300 RB Leiden The Netherlands Telephone +31-71-5273372 Website www.ascleiden.nl E-mail [email protected] [email protected] © Senior Lecturer, Theatre and Film Studies, Redeemer’s University, Nigeria, LeidenASA Visiting Fellow 2017, March 2017 2 Abstract The date 6 July 2017 marks the 50th anniversary of the war considered as one of the worst in recent human history, the Nigeria-Biafra war. My paper focuses on the representation of this war in popular culture – with an emphasis on film, fictional and non-fictional literature. It interrogates the role that fictional and non-fictional narration play in the collective and individual memory of Nigerians in general and the Igbos in particular. It also looks at the link between the depiction of the war in popular culture and the renewed agitation for the nationhood of Biafra, as since the 2000s, there has been renewed campaigning by young people of Igbo ethnicity for the creation of the Republic of Biafra. This research particularly concentrates on two organizations that are involved in this struggle: the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). It is my position that popular culture constitutes important material for the study and understanding of historical events and periods of time, while it also enhances our understanding of the ways in which these past events may have an influence in the present. -
Modified Northern Common Centre Theory: an Attendant Issue on Origin and Migration of Ndiigbo in the Early 21St Century-Linguists Contribution
www.idosr.org Longinus and Onuora ©IDOSR PUBLICATIONS International Digital Organization for Scientific Research ISSN: 2579-0765 IDOSR JOURNAL OF CURRENT ISSUES IN SOCIAL SCIENCES 7(1): 1-10, 2021. Modified Northern Common Centre Theory: An Attendant Issue on Origin and Migration of Ndiigbo in the early 21st Century-Linguists Contribution. Longinus Chukwuemeka Chinagorom1 and Onuora Ngozi Theresa2 1Department of Linguistics and Igbo Faculty of Humanities Imo State University, Owerri 2Department of Languages/Linguistics/Literary Studies/Theatre Arts Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ikwo, Ebonyi State, Nigeria ABSTRACT The controversies bedeviling the question of uniqueness, identity and assimilation of people of Africa, which are borne out of the consequences of humanity’s quest for survival that have sparked off several noted revolutions, have given birth to the clarion call for a methodological cum systematic approach to the roots and branches of various peoples of the earth. The recent upsurge for self determination and referendum among distinct ethnic and linguistic groups need not be nipped in the bud; rather the attendant issue of showcasing genuine identities of peoples has become very relevant. In this early 21st Century, the challenges of directing and redirecting the dynamics of Igbo Civilization characterized by its autochthonous and primordial parlance of Ndiokpu na Ndiegede , projected lucidly in terms of self determination/Biafra Restoration and intent motivation for Ndiigbo to exhibit an inherent urge to develop resources towards contributing their quota in the domain of Globalization and current Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), spurs us to revisit some noted theories on the origin and migration of the Igbo. This paper tends to reassess the Northern Common Centre Theory; as among the most popular Schools of Thought on ground. -
