Four research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. Two hundred and fifty teachers and fifty principals of secondary schools drawn through proportionate stratified sampling technique were used for the study. A descriptive survey design was adopted. The instrument for data collection was a questionnaire statistical analysis of data was done using mean, standaid deviation and t-test statistics. Results show that such factors of initiating structure as adhering strictly to standard of performance without excuses (X= 3.00) and consideration structure as consulting teachers before taking decisions that affect them (X=3.52), in addition to attending to teachers welfare as a matter of necessity (F=3.32) effectively influence motivation of teachers. This study found no significant difference in the ratings of principals and teachers on the ways principals' initiating and consideration structure influence motivation of teachers. The irnplications of the study were highlighted and recommendations were made for implementation and for further studies. CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Background of the Study The decline in the standard of education in the past two decades has been a source of concern to parents, teachers, educational administrators and even pupils themselves who end up performing below expectation. This has been attributed to a number of factors, such as lack of c!ffectivo arid motivational leadership, lackof mastery of the subjects by the teachers and non-availability of teaching aids (Nwachukwu, 1982). All these result to poor perfortrances and lack of interest in school work by teachers and students. Administration according to Ocho (1997) refers to decision-making, planning, organization, communicating, coordinating and evaluating specific objectives to achieve educational goals. In line with the above, Nwankwo (1982) defines Educational administration as the arrangement of the human and material resources and programmes available for education and carefully using them systematically for the achievement of articulatecl objectives. Educational administration involves: The activities of planning and organizing reso~~ces for the attainment of the objectives of a scti001; educational administratior7 also involves providing the personnel (teaching and non-teaching staff) who will assist or contribute to the achievement of the objectives of education; and educational administration is concerned with procuring and managing the human and material resources necessary for the support and maintenance of the organization and its programmes (Ogbonnaya, 2003: 2). The success of any organization, be it formal or informal, production or profit-oriented or service oriented, to a large extent is believed to depend on the way and the manner in which the leader of that organization operates within it. In order to succeed in his organization, therefore a leader has to adopt a particular rnethod or style of leadership or a blend of various styles, which will help him to achieve the objectives of the organization. In the secondary school context, it is believed that the leadership style of the school head or principals has a great effect on the entire organizational climate or structure of the institution. It finds expressions in the way the teachers behave both in their teaching functions and in other activities of the school. The principals' initiating structure and consideration style also finds expression in the manner the students behave in the school with special reference to their attitude to academic work and other school activities. Different authors have different definitions of leadership in their writings. Schein (1980) defines leadership as a function of the relationship between the leader, the followers and the task situation characteristics. Ukeje (1988) states that leadership occurs whenever one attempts to influence the behaviour of an individual or a group, regardless of the reason; that leadership also implies followership, and that the siluation under which different individuals and groups will follow differ considerably; hence, situation is a very important variable in leadership. From the above definition, a leader implies an individual who has powerful influence on the other members of his group. Thus, one can infer from the above that the leadership has something to do with teachers' effectiveness and teachers' effectiveness is a factor in students' academic performance. The two-factor theory of leadership behaviour, namely initiating structure and consideration are of special interest in this study. These leadership behaviour characteristics were identified after a research conducted by a team of scholars at the Ohia State University (Halpin, 1957 and Ohikhena and Anam, 1974). The team used a special questionnaire design to elicit information from workers on the various leadership behaviours of their rnanayers and round out that two-leadership

Corresponding author: Njoku-Tony, R.F, Email- [email protected] Abstract: A 12 months study on fascioliasis in sokoto gudali sheep of Hausa origin (northern part of Nigeria) was carried out in five different abattoirs in Imo State, Nigeria between 2004 and 2005.The abattoirs were Obinze, Okigwe, Afor-Enyiogugu, Afor-Ogbe, and Orlu .The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence of fascioliasis among slaughter sheep in selected abattoirs in Imo state. Five grams of feces and liver from freshly slaughtered sheep of both sexes, and from different locations and ages were collected, taken to the laboratory and analyzed for fasciola eggs and adult flukes. Direct smear, formol ether concentration and sodium chloride floatation methods were used to harvest the eggs and adult parasites. Out of 367 sheep examined, 64 (17.2%0) were infected. Infection was highest in Obinze abattoir (29.6%) followed by Afor Enyiogugu abattoir with (29.0%) Okigwe (15.6%), Orlu (12.5%) and Afor Ogbe (12.4%). Infection was highest in females than in males and was also sex dependent. Among adult sheep (>2yrs) examined , 59 (14.9%) were infected while out of 38 young goats (<2yrs), 5 (13.2%) were infected. Infection level rose with increased rainfall with the highest level observed at the peak of the rainy season and dropping during the dry season months.

    The Relationship Between Placement of Female Teachers and Academic Performnace of Secondary School Students in Owerri Urban of Imo State

    Journal of Literature, Languages and Linguistics - An Open Access International Journal Vol.2 2013 The Relationship between Placement of Female Teachers and Academic Performnace of Secondary School Students in Owerri Urban of Imo State Lazarus I. okoroji* Julius O. Anyanwu. School of Management, Federal University o Technology, PMB 1526, Owerri. Imo State, Nigeria. * E-mail of the corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract This research focused on the relationship between placement of Women Teachers and Academic Performance of Secondary School Students in Owerri Urban of Imo State. Descriptive research design was adopted in carrying out the study. A random sampling technique was used to select ten (10) secondary schools used in the study out of twenty secondary schools in Owerri Urban of Imo state. Questionnaire was developed to collect primary data. The data collected was analyzed using the simple percentage method. It ascertained whether there are more female teachers in the Owerri Urban Secondary Schools than their male counterparts thereby assessing the role of women teachers to the education of the students, vis-à-vis their academic performance. In pursuance of the objectives, some hypotheses were stated as seen in chapter 1. A total of twelve schools (12) were sampled with twenty five (25) principals and vice principals, some classroom teachers and officials of the Secondary Education Management Board Owerri Zone as respondents. Data was collected through the use of questionnaires, oral interviews and personal observations respectively. From the findings as reflected in chapter five (5), it was concluded that although many variables are contributory to the excellent and poor performance of students, the posting of many women teachers in a School lowers teachers/school productivity and consequently affects adversely the student’s academic performance.

    WOMEN’S ACCESS TO POLITICAL POWER IN ANCIENT EGYPT AND IGBOLAND: A CRITICAL STUDY A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Antwanisha V. Alameen January 2013 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Molefi Kete Asante, Advisory Chair, African American Studies Dr. Ama Mazama, African American Studies Dr. Kimmika Williams-Witherspoon, Theater Dr. Adisa Alkebulan, External Member, San Diego State University i Copyright By Antwanisha Alameen 2012 All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT This is an Afrocentric examination of women’s use of agency in Ancient Egypt and Igboland. Most histories written on Kemetic women not only disconnect them from Africa but also fail to fully address the significance of their position within the political spiritual structure of the state. Additionally, the presence of matriarchy in Ancient Egypt is dismissed on the basis that patriarchy is the most visible and seemingly the most dominant form of governance. Diop contended that matriarchy was one of the key factors that connected Ancient Egypt with other parts of Africa which is best understood as the Africa’s cultural continuity theory. My research analyzes the validity of his theory by comparing how Kemetic women exercised agency in their political structure to how Igbo women exercised political agency. I identified Igbo women as a cultural group to be compared to Kemet because of their historical political resistance in their state during the colonial period. However, it is their traditional roles prior to British invasion that is most relevant to my study. I define matriarchy as the central role of the mother in the social and political function of societal structures, the political positions occupied by women that inform the decisions of the state and the inclusion of female principles within the religious-political order of the nation.

    Historical Research Letter www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-3178 (Paper) ISSN 2225-0964 (Online) Vol 9, 2014 OWERRI IN THE NIGERIAN CIVIL WAR 1967-1970 Chukwuma Osakwe, Ph.D 1 Lawrence Okechukwu Udeagbala 2 1. Department of History and International Studies, Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna 2. Department of History and International Studies, Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna ⃰ E.Mail: [email protected] Abstract The town of Owerri was inadvertently so important to the Federal and Biafran forces during the civil war so much so that the battle of Owerri has been acknowledged as one of deadliest in the civil war. This was evident in the way the town changed hands between the Federal and the Biafran forces as many as three times. While the Biafran forces saw Owerri as the last major town under their control, they believed that its effective defence would go a long way to ensure the safety of the Uli airport. They were therefore ready to defend it to the last man. The Federal army on the other hand though initially did not consider the town important but when they were committed to attack the town by Colonel Adekunle, they saw it as the key that held their victory. They hoped also to enter Uli, where the last major airstrip under Biafran control was cited, through Owerri to prevent ColonelOjukwu from escaping. They therefore fought with vigour. The study reveals that the Federal 3rd Marine Commando Division which almost conveniently overwhelmed the Biafra forces in the South East met its waterloo at Owerri and this led to removal and replacement of its commander.
