The recent and ongoing crises within neoliberal-capitalism (2007-present) has been raised to visibility issues in the nexus of national apex banking (autonomy, interests, structure, operation, form, among others) as means of improving macro-economic stability and sustaining national socio- economic growth and development. Irrespective of prolonged mismanagement of the national economy and the presentation of conspicuous macro-economic instability, among other socio- economic challenges, there is a gap in information and knowledge regarding the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)‟s role in responding to these challenges. Here, we review critical literature on adverse consequences of global apex banking autonomy on sustainable development generally –including impacts on vulnerable populations excluded by the elite from sustainable development processes and platforms. Then we examine recent public discourses concerning Nigeria‟s apex bank‟s autonomy by various stakeholders including: recent attempts by Nigeria‟s federal legislators to strip the CBN of its autonomy; responses by the ruling and major political parties and the CBN‟s leadership, among others. Afterwards we examine the track-records of the CBN macro-economic management and of Nigeria‟s federal legislature in contributing towards Nigeria‟s socio-economic development in Nigeria‟s Fourth Republic (1999-2012/present).

This is an open access article licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/). National Insecurity and the Challenges of Food Security in Nigeria Agaptus Nwozor, Ph.D1* John Shola Olanrewaju, Ph.D1 Modupe B. Ake, Ph.D1 1Department of Political Science and International Relations Landmark University, Omu-Aran, Kwara State, Nigeria *Corresponding Author Doi: 10.36941/ajis-2019-0032 Abstract Nigeria has been overly dependent on oil for its foreign exchange earnings and government revenue since the oil boom of the 1970s. Prior to this period, the country was reasonably self-sufficient in food production and carved a respectable niche for itself as a major exporter of several cash crops. However, as agriculture lost its primacy to oil, it went into steady decline due to neglect by successive governments. The neglect led to mass abandonment of farms resulting in extreme peasantization of the sector. A related negative fallout was Nigeria’s transition from food self-sufficiency to food-dependency and attendant massive importation to bridge food gaps. However, efforts are being made by the government to reposition the agricultural sector to boost its productive capacity and make it competitive. The major task of this study is to evaluate Nigeria’s quest to achieve food security against the backdrop of national insecurity. Considering the categorization of Nigeria as food insecure, the study examines the interconnection between national insecurity and food production as a prelude to the actualization of food security.

To different Oyo State citizens, Senator Abiola Ajimobi meant different things. Senator Abiola Ajimobi came, he saw and he conquered. I personally came in physical contact with the Late Senator Abiola Ajimobi two days to the 2011 Oyo Governorship election. I was with Comrade Laoye Sanda, a bosom friend of Senator Abiola Ajimobi who then was the Chairman of the Coalition for A New Nigeria (CNN). The Coalition was put in place to wrestle power from the People‟s Democratic Party (PDP) under the administration of Otuba Alao Akala. I was the state secretary of the Coalition. Comrade Laoye Sanda and I were in the house of Senator Abiola Ajimobi at Oluyole to brief him about the decision of the Coalition concerning the 2011 Oyo governorship elections. The rest, like they say, is now history. My second time of meeting Senator Ajimobi was when I was elected as the foundation secretary of the Interparty Advisory Council (IPAC) in Oyo State.

  • 1. the Efficiency of the Scientific Approach in Analysing the Break
    THE EFFICIENCY OF THE SCIENTIFIC APPROACH IN ANALYSING THE BREAK- POINT IN A MULTI-PRODUCT FIRM Sunday A. Effiong, (Ph.D); Akabom I. Asuquo, (Ph.D) and Chimaobi Okere (Esq) Abstract A major challenge in break-even analysis for multi-product firms is the problem of obtaining a single per unit contribution, single unit selling price and contribution margin ratio (CMR) that is representative of all the products in the firms’ sales mix structure. This paper introduces a scientific approach, using weighted average, as against the simple average used in the traditional approach. Using the Weighted Average Unit Contribution Margin (WAUCM) as a stepping stone, the paper covers up with the Weighted Average Unit Selling Price (WAUSP) and the Weighted Average Contribution Margin Ratio (WACMR). These three averages presented scientific solutions to the multi-product breakeven analysis problems. In comparing the traditional approach with the scientific approach, the paper adopts “contribution by sales mix analysis” to ascertain the approach that gives the optimal sales mix. It was observed that the scientific approach achieved lower break- even point in units and sales value than the traditional approach. The success was attributed to the optimal sales mix achieved by the scientific method. Therefore the scientific approach is recommended for use by companies involved in the multi-product break-even analysis and problems relating to multi-product break-even computations. Introduction The Break-Even Analysis technically known as the Cost – Volume – Profit (CVP) analysis, represents the application of marginal costing principles that seeks to show the relationship between cost, volume and profit at different activity levels which could be relied upon for short-term planning and decision making.
