  • 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.

  • First Election Security Threat Assessment
    SECURITY THREAT ASSESSMENT: TOWARDS 2015 ELECTIONS January – June 2013 edition With Support from the MacArthur Foundation Table of Contents I. Executive Summary II. Security Threat Assessment for North Central III. Security Threat Assessment for North East IV. Security Threat Assessment for North West V. Security Threat Assessment for South East VI. Security Threat Assessment for South South VII. Security Threat Assessment for South West Executive Summary Political Context The merger between the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), All Nigerian Peoples Party (ANPP) and other smaller parties, has provided an opportunity for opposition parties to align and challenge the dominance of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). This however will also provide the backdrop for a keenly contested election in 2015. The zoning arrangement for the presidency is also a key issue that will define the face of the 2015 elections and possible security consequences. Across the six geopolitical zones, other factors will define the elections. These include the persisting state of insecurity from the insurgency and activities of militants and vigilante groups, the high stakes of election as a result of the availability of derivation revenues, the ethnic heterogeneity that makes elite consensus more difficult to attain, as well as the difficult environmental terrain that makes policing of elections a herculean task. Preparations for the Elections The political temperature across the country is heating up in preparation for the 2015 elections. While some state governors are up for re-election, most others are serving out their second terms. The implication is that most of the states are open for grab by either of the major parties and will therefore make the electoral contest fiercer in 2015 both within the political parties and in the general election.

While there are debates and controversies surrounding betting games discourse, a growing body of literature shows that it has been exacerbated by growing unemployment rates. This paper aims to examine the nexus between the increasing involvement of youth in betting games and unemployment from the Nigerian perspective. Design/methodology/approach – The study adopts simple random and stratified sampling techniques to select participants for the study. Three hypotheses were tested for this study and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation model (SEM) was used to test the hypotheses. Findings – The three hypotheses tested in this study were coined from previous literature. The study established a direct link between technology advancement, promises of winning big coupled with bonuses while unemployment was not significant to youth involvement in betting games. The study also showed that playing betting games provides another source of income to the youth, who are already engaged in one form of work or another.

Methods: This study was carried out for 6 months to determine the prevalence and plasmid profile of non-typhoidal salmonellosis in children in Lagos metropolis. A total of 105 stool samples were collected from diarrheal children aged 3 months to 12 years and processed during this period. The isolates were identified using Selenite F Broth, Salmonella-Shigella Agar, Kligler Iron Agar, and Motility-indole-Urea medium, citrate and sugar utilization tests. Results: A total number of 127 isolates were identified, 2 of which are Salmonella enteritidis (1.6%). The non-typhoidal Salmonellae were sensitive to ciprofloxacin, cetotaxime, streptomycin, cotrimxazole and tetracycline. Only one of the 2 isolates (50%) was sensitive to amoxillin and sulphonamide while none of them (0%) was sensitive to cefuroxime.

    International Journal of Science, Environment ISSN 2278-3687 (O) and Technology, Vol. 3, No 3, 2014, 1021 – 1034 A CHECKLIST OF TREE SPECIES GROWING ON AKOKA CAMPUS OF UNIVERSITY OF LAGOS, NIGERIA *Nodza, I.G., Onuminya, T.O. and Ogundipe, O.T Molecular Systematics Laboratory, Department of Botany, University of Lagos, Akoka-Lagos, Nigeria E-mail: [email protected] (*Corresponding Author) Abstract: The following checklist is provided as the most complete compilation of the tree species growing on Akoka Campus of University of Lagos, southwestern Nigeria. This checklist was derived from extensive field survey, with the view of investigating the concurrent depletion on the remnant flora and inventory of all the tree species. Data collection was done by dividing the study area into several plots, and samples were randomly collected from each plot, and identification of the samples was done using local floras. A total of 67 woody tree species belonging to 57 genera within 27 families is represented in the study area. Of the 67 species, 43 species (64.17%) are native to Nigeria and West Africa and 24 species (35.83%) are considered exotic or non- native and are naturalized. The result showed that fourteen families consist of only 1 species each, four families have 2 species each and 3 species each respectively, two families have 4 species each while the other families consists of 5 species, 7 species and 13 species respectively. Of these, the family Fabaceae has the highest frequency (13 species) representing 19.409% of total species encountered) occurring in all the plots followed by Moraceae which consists of 7 species (10.45%).
