Department of Agricultural Economics and Farm Management, College of Agricultural Sciences, Olabisi Onabanjo University, Yewa Campus, Ayetoro, Ogun State, Nigeria *Corresponding Author: Akerele, E.O.; [email protected] ABSTRACT: Against the background of susceptibility of Rotating Savings and Credit Associations (ROSCAs) in the Yewa Division of Ogun State, Nigeria to default which poses high risk to their sustainability, this study assessed the factors influencing default in the association with a view to providing empirical link between participants’ socio-economic characteristics and default in the association for decision-making. Towards achieving this research objective, data were collected from 400 randomly selected residents within the division through a structured questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics including frequency counts, percentages and measures of Central Tendencies, Probit Regression Model, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) as well as Chi- square model were used in analyzing the study data. Results revealed significant difference (p<0.05) in the average age of defaulters (37.12 years) and non-defaulters (37.91 years). Household sizes of defaulters (4.66) and non-defaulters (4.11) were found to be significantly different (p<0.05) as well as their educational levels, marital statuses and main occupations. The income level of defaulters (N245,527) and non-defaulters (N200,426) was also found to differ significantly (p<0.05). However, no significant difference (p<0.05) was found in the gender, membership of social groups, tribes and religions of defaulting and non-defaulter ROSCA participants. Household size, annual income, what the pot was used for, proportion of working household members to household size had significant association with default in the association. Spending the lump sum received solely on personal consumption rather than business, having to repay too many slots at a time and having too many dependants to cater for at the home front were the major challenges militating against repayment of ROSCA pots in the study area. The study concluded that default in the associations was high and influenced by some of the participants’ socio-economic circumstances. The paper therefore recommended that ROSCAs’ foremen should be wary of respondents taken too many slots per ROSCA round to avoid default tendency.

In Ogun State, the UBE Act was passed into law in 2005 after that of the Federal government in 2004, hence, the demonstration of the intention to make the UBE free, compulsory and universal. The aspects of the policy which is capital intensive require the government to provide adequately for basic education in the area of organization, funding, staff development, facilities, among others. With the commencement of the scheme in 1999/2000 until-date, Ogun State, especially in the area of facility provision, has joined in the collaborative effort with the Federal government through counter-part funding to provide some facilities to schools in the State, especially at the Primary level. These facilities include textbooks (in core subjects’ areas- Mathematics, English, Social Studies and Primary Science), blocks of classrooms, furniture, laboratories/library, teachers, etc. This study attempts to assess the level of articulation by the Ogun State Government of its UBE policy within the general framework of the scheme in providing facilities to schools at the primary level.

This study, therefore, assessed the prevalence of the trio, and mapped their spatial distribution in the 20 administrative regions of Ogun State, Nigeria. Methods Parasitological surveys were carried out in 1,499 households across 33 spatially selected communities. Fresh stool samples were collected from 1,027 consenting participants and processed using ether concentration method. Households were georeferenced using a GPS device while demographic data were obtained using a standardized form. Data were analysed using SPSS software and visualizations and plotting maps were made in ArcGIS software. Results Findings showed that 19 of the 20 regions were endemic for one or more kind of the three infections, with an aggregated prevalence of 17.2%.

However, research to this effect in international border between Nigeria and Benin Republic is either scarce or not available; hence the crux of the current study. Three towns at Nigeria-Benin Republic international border, namely Idi- Iroko, located within Ipokia Local Government Areas (LGA), Ohunbe town is in Yewa North LGA, while Ilara, falls within the jurisdiction of Imeko Afon LGA.
