This research examines the relationship between manpower training and employee development using a case study of Access Bank Plc in Obioakpor Local Government Area, Port Harcourt Metropolis Rivers State, Nigeria. A correlation survey design was adopted, data were sourced from 700 employees through a self-administered questionnaire, and the sample size was determined using the Taro Yamane method and calculated as 399. The judgmental non-probability sampling method was adopted in the distribution of the questionnaire. The correlation method was used to test the hypotheses to achieve the study objective. The findings revealed that job training has a significant positive relationship with employability skills, coaching has a significant positive relationship with employee competency. This study provides sufficient guidelines for human resources to integrate training programs into their mission statement to ensure employees are acquainted with job knowledge and skills. Future researchers are encouraged to explore this study using different industries and large sample sizes to generalize findings.

The study examined motivation and regular salary as determinants of agricultural science teachers’ commitment in Port Harcourt Local Government Area of Rivers State, Nigeria. Survey and correlational research designs were adopted. A sample size of 142 subjects was used in this study. This comprised of 96 Agricultural Science teachers in both junior and senior secondary schools in Port Harcourt, 12 Principals, 24 Vice Principals in both junior and senior secondary schools in Port Harcourt, and 10 Supervisors in Port Harcourt. The Teachers’ Motivation Inventory (TMI), Teachers’ Regular Salary Scale (TRESS), and Agricultural Science Teachers’ Commitment Questionnaire (ASTCQ) instruments were used. The instruments were validated by experts in Education and Agricultural Science. The reliability of the instruments was established using the Cronbach Alpha method to obtain indices of 951, .902, and .844 for the TMI, TRESS and ASTCQ instruments, respectively. Data obtained from the 129 copies of the TMI, TRESS, and ASTCQ instruments was analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The result revealed that motivation and regular payment of salary jointly contributes to Agricultural Science teachers’ commitment in Port Harcourt Local Government Area of Rivers State. Furthermore, government ensuring the teachers’ regular promotion, alongside providing teachers’ with incentives like bonuses, class attendance and practical allowances etc., were among the proffered recommendations. This was targeted at increasing Agricultural Science teachers’ level of commitment in secondary schools.

Abstract Rivers State as the nomenclature depicts is a state richly blessed with both surface and subsurface water. As a result of this, there is less problem of water scarcity, especially in the elite cities of the state, but so many other communities due to one reason or the other still wallow in abject water scarcity. In this survey, a total of seven (7) vertical electric soundings were carried out using Schlumberger configuration at Obibi community in Omuma local government area, Rivers State, to ascertain the location and depths to aquifer. ABEM terrameter SAS 300 was used in the survey with electrode spacing AB/2 of 150 m, thus probing to a depth of about 200 m. Geoelectric software (IPI2WIN) was utilized in the plotting, iteration and interpretation of the resistivity data obtained. From the quantitative interpretation and the lithology of the areas, five different subsurface layers were delineated with their geoelectric curve given as AK, AKQ and AKH. Aquifer in these areas is highly prolific and mostly located at an average depth of 52 m.

This study focused on analyses of particulate matter generated from construction at some selected building sites in Obio-Akpo Local Government Area (latitudes 4°45'N and 4°60'N and longitudes 6°50'E and 8°00'E) Nigeria. The method of sample collection was direct deposition method under gravity. The masses of particulate matter collected from two construction sites (sampling sites 1 and 2) and a residential building for sampling site 3(control) for a period of three weeks and two days (April 19th – May 10th, 2017) were 0.06g and 0.04g for sampling sites 1and 2, while  sampling site 3 being the control was 0.02g. The Atomic Absorption Spectroscopic analyses of the particulate matter samples revealed the presence of thirty three (33) elemental components which include; beryllium(Be), sodium (Na), magnesium(Mg), aluminium(Al), potassium(K),calcium(Ca), vanadium(V), chromium (Cr 52 & Cr 53), manganese(Mn), iron (Fe), cobalt(Co), nickel(Ni), copper(Cu), zinc(Zn), arsenic(As), molybdenum(Mo 95,& Mo 98), cadmium(Cd106,Cd108 & Cd 111), silver(Ag), indium(In), tin(Sn), antimony (Sb), barium(Ba), terbium(Tb), thallium(Tl), lead(Pb), bismuth(Bi), thorium(Th), and uranium(U). A good number of research works have shown that some of these elements constitute serious health problems to man when they are inhaled or ingested, hence the need for proper safety mechanisms to be put in place in order to protect construction workers and individuals living within the environment from their harmful effects.
