The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) was created to be responsible for the reversal of government actions and policies. By advocating for the social, economic and political roles, not only to the working class but to all Nigerians both the employed and unemployed. As a very important and independent body that the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) is the huge differences that is supposed to be between the two bodies and what, the Nigerian Labour Congress can use to attack the government has vanished and now we have the government in Labour and Labour in government. Therefore, availability of the government to embark on any action,The Nigerian government already has a way of manipulating things, because In Nigeria, we cannot clearly state who the government and Labour leader is and who in essence the best of their interest are targeted at. This research study is therefore an attempt to examine how the Nigerian Labour Congress achieved their goals identifying their challenges, and their prospects in the economic development of Nigeria <br> Qualitative research method was adopted to provide a holistic understanding of the progress, challenges and potential strategies for achieving economic development in Nigerian Labour Congress in Nigeria,Both Primary and Secondary data sources was collected. Survey Research design was considered for this study. The target population of the study constituted the Academic Staff and Non- Academic Staff of Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago iwoye, Ogun State. The data collected were analyzed using thematic and content analyses. <br> It was revealed from the findings that the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has failed the Nigerian workers woefully and there is no goal achieved ,And also the challenges of Nigerian Labour Congress did not start today ,but keeps worsening as the day goes by ,because the Nigeria Labour Congress has lost its face , even to its members and general public ,and more reason why people do not regard or hold in high esteem Nigerian Labour Congress industrial action ,compared to ASUU ,it is as a result of the internal problems that has eaten the group up .Based on the findings of the study ,it was recommended that the internal democracy in the management of the Labour union should be given adequate attention.

Afzelia Africana seeds were subjected to quasi-static parallel plate compression test, using Monsanto Tensometer. The loading orientations were horizontal, vertical and edge-to-edge loading positions at four different moisture content levels<br><br> of 10.6%, 12.8%, 15.2% and 18.4% wet basis (wb). Slight variations were observed in the means of the physical characteristics at varying moisture content in the range of 10.6% to 18.4%. Loading position was shown to have significant effect on all the mechanical properties studied. This value was 155.68N for vertical loading, 139.27 N for horizontal loading and 81.0 N for edge-to-edge loading. Hardness ranged from 6.97 to 6.92 N/mm for horizontal loading, 6.92 to 6.67N/mm for edge-loading and 6.99 to 6.93N/mm for vertical loading respectively in the moisture content range of 10.6 to 18.4% for all cases. Rupture energy varied from 104 to 416.33 N-mm on horizontal loading, 59.96to 241.82 on edge-loading and 190.125 to 419.171 Nmm on vertical loading respectively for the same range of moisture content. The data generated in this study can be applied when estimating the energy and force needed for shelling the seeds and in making useful suggestions on the loading condition that will demand the least energy for the operation and shelling. The physical properties are also useful in process design and analysis.

The study investigated the impact of the naira exchange rate and external trade balance (1981- 2023) using secondary data from Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) National Bureau of Statistic and WDI. The Objectives of this study were to describe the trends of the naira exchange rate and external trade balance, determined the effect of naira exchange and external trade balance and causal relationship between the naira exchange rate and external trade balance.<br><br><br> Unit root test was carried out with the use of Augmented Dickey Fuller to ascertain the stationary of the variables and they were found to be stationary at order 1(0) and 1(1). ARDL (Auto regressive distributed lag) bound test was used to analyze the model that there is long-run co- integration among the variables. The granger causality test was used to test for the causality among the variables in the model as well as checked the direction of causality among variables. The result shows that granger causality revealed that there is no directional relationship between exchange rate and trade balance and between inflation on trade balance.<br><br><br> The study concluded that the here is no significant effect between these variables and trade balance. However, money supply was found to significantly influence inflation, and exchange rate changes significantly affected money supply. The study therefore recommends that government the government should make it a requirement to create a support system for domestic firms to expand output growth and improve quality. This will encourage the consumption of local products as imports become relatively expensive when the currency depreciates

Data were collected through a structured questionnaire titled: “Assessment of E-library Resources and Services in Colleges of Education Libraries, Cross River State. which was administered to the respondents (both staff and students) in Colleges of Education libraries in Cross River State. The data gathered from the respondents through questionnaire were analyzed using frequency tables and simple percentages with the aid of statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 22. The study findings revealed different types of E-resources available in colleges of education library in Cross River State where 75% of library staff agree to the availability of E-books and 25% of library staff disagree to the availability of E-books. Aligning with these findings, 91.4% of the registered students agreed to the accessibility of E-books and 8.6% disagreed to the accessibility of E-books. In the view of the research findings, the research recommended that academic libraries should conduct a thorough assessment of the current e-resources available to identify gaps and areas for improvement, and implement a comprehensive e-resource acquisition strategy to ensure that Colleges of Education libraries have access to a wide range of high-quality electronic resources and services to enhance users’ satisfaction.<br> Word count: 249

This research work financial management in Nigeria public libraries: A case study of Imo state library Board was embarked upon to survey the sources of finance for public libraries. The research design adopted was the survey method and the questionnaire was used to collect data from the respondents. The study discovered that the Imo state library Board is faced with many problems like; lack of funds, lack of computers, lack of accounting materials, irregular subvention, and lack of accommodation and mismanagement of available funds. Based on these findings, the following recommendations were made: The state government should pay adequate attention to the funding of the library. The management should ensure proper utilization of the available resources. Staff salaries should be paid as and when due. More personnel should be employed to manage the financial resources for proper accountability. The staff should be exposed to in service training, work hops and seminars for acquisition of more skills that will enable them perform better. Certain jobs should be done through direct labour, they should avoid unnecessary contract work which consumes money, thereby leaving the board with empty purse. There should be alternative sources of funding. Suggestions were made for future researchers.

ABSTRACT<br> This study examined the success of online chemistry education in selected higher education institutions within Kwara State. With the growing integration of digital learning platforms in tertiary institutions, it is vital to evaluate how effectively these platforms support chemistry education. <br> The study adopted a survey research design, utilizing a structured questionnaire to gather data from 200 randomly selected chemistry education students across various institutions in the state. The focus was to assess the extent of e-learning utilization and determine whether demographic factors, particularly gender, influence students’ engagement with online chemistry learning tools. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods. <br> A major finding revealed that gender does not significantly influence students' utilization of e-learning facilities for chemistry learning. This suggests a level of digital inclusiveness in online chemistry education across genders. <br> The study concluded that while e-learning facilities are gradually being adopted in the teaching and learning of Chemistry in universities, their full potential has yet to be realized. The study recommends continued investment in digital infrastructure and training to enhance the effectiveness of online chemistry instruction across tertiary institutions in Kwara State.
