Abstract: The paper underscores the infrastructural facility and the student’s academic performance in Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, Ondo State, Nigeria. Thirty questionnaires were administered through a systematic sampling technique in each of the six faculties making a total of 180 questionnaires. The paper has found out a positive relationship between the student’s academic performance, power supply and health facilities. However, the internet facilities and transportation facilities were not adequate, whereas water supply was adequate. A test of the impact of infrastructural facility on the student’s academic performance, using a Chi Square statistical technique revealed a significant value of 177.1 at 0.05 % level. The paper recommends that the existing facilities should be upgraded and significantly improved by the government; urgent attention should be given to the development of the internet facilities and transportation sector of the University. Also, private partnership should be encouraged in the infrastructural development of the University.

This study investigated the challenges facing the collection and distribution of educational data in F.C.T Educational institutions, Abuja, Nigeria. The researchers used descriptive research survey design for the study. The study comprised a population of one hundred and twenty (120) respondents which made up of data collection officers in the selected educational institutions across the FCT. Ten (10) data collection officers from each area council and ten (10) data collection officers from six departments/agencies/units within the ministries of education in Abuja were used in the study. Purposive, Stratified and systematic sampling technique was used to select the sample population from the educational institutions across Abuja. The reliability of the instrument was determined through the test re-test method. Data was collected by questionnaire and were analyzed using percentage and chi-square. The study led to the conclusion that inadequate funding,  shortage of professional data collection officers, inadequate working materials, institutional corruption, poor capacity development programme of data collection officers, poor methods and approaches used for collecting data, poor supervision and inspection and political influence are the problems hindering effective data collection and distribution in educational institutions. The study also established that there is significant relationship between challenges and collection and distribution of educational data in schools. Based on this finding, the following were recommended: that the federal, state and local government should increase the funding of education and more priority should be given to data collection and distribution funding and the government at every level in FCT should employ more data collection officers and deploy them to the primary and secondary schools in FCT.

Human relationships directly influence the success of educational goals. As a result, a constructive partnership with instructors, administrators, heads, and students is required to achieve academic goals. It has been observed that good relationships among teachers, students, heads, parents, and the community decide a school's performance. As a result, the study aimed to investigate human relationship issues and their effects on school success to change the situation in the future. The study's participants were all heads of (GHS) Schools in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The researcher used convenience sampling techniques to pick 65 heads from all GHSS in Malakand Division for the sample. Since it was a mixed approach study, a Likert-style questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data. A semi-structured interview guide was used to collect qualitative data from the purposefully chosen ten school heads. SPSS was used to tabulate and interpret the data, which was done using percentages and the Chi-square test.The bulk of students, according to the study, do not collaborate with school administrators. The analysis also found that parents, communities, PTCs, and BOGs are not entirely cooperative. Higher authorities do not perform their duties to the complete satisfaction of secondary school principals. In contrast, political influence has uprooted and ruined the whole educational structure. As a result, the study suggested that prominent representatives of the group (Khan, Malak, Pesh Imams) be welcomed to schools regularly to encourage parents and community members to cooperate and share school concerns and concerns with them. The Ministry of Education should include daily training and workshops for principals, BOGs, and PTCs to develop their leadership skills and increase community awareness and interest in school management issues. They will establish a sense of ownership as a result, and they will play an important role in the growth of organizations.

This study used both quasi-experiment and contingent valuation survey to explore the applicability of deposit-refund system (DRS) to water-sachet litter management in Nigeria. In the experiment, a DRS was established to incentivize the participants to return emptied sachets of water. A contingent valuation survey of 454 sachet-water consumers selected using quasi-systematic sampling technique was conducted. Experimental results showed that the number of sachets returned by the experimental group – those subjected to DRS – was significantly greater than that of the comparison group – those not subjected to DRS. Logit regression results showed that refund size increased the odds of returning sachets by 42.0%. Increasing the redemption time decreased the odds of turning in sachets by about 16.0%. A one-minute increase in the time spent on redemption would result in about 2.4% decrease in the probability that participants would comply. Income decreased the odds of compliance by about 31.0%, while age reduced the odds of compliance by about 2.2%. These results imply that the DRS reduced water-sachet littering in the study area, and that income, refund amount, redemption time, age and perceived effectiveness of DRS influenced consumers’ compliance with DRS. Hence, an appropriate motivating DRS would reduce litter and its attendant problems, such as hygiene, plastic pollution, flooding, aesthetic loss, non-naturally degradable toxic compounds, degradation of natural habitat ant its endangered species. The government should, therefore, implement a DRS and set up recycling plants, or encourage private recycling firms, in order to accommodate used sachets that would end up piling up.

Public awareness about pregnant women health’s still a determining factor for MMR and IMR. Although there are still many factors that must be considered to deal with this problem, one of the causes of death is the ignorance of pregnant women and their families in recognizing danger signs of pregnancy, to solve this the government is trying to improve awareness and knowledge of pregnant women and their families with maternal and child health books (KIA). This study aims to to determine whether there is a relationship between parity and knowledge about the benefits of the KIA Handbook for pregnant women at Gamping 1 health center. This research is a quantitative study. The data collection method based on the time approach used is the cross section method. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, namely taking samples according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria of 45 respondents with the Chi Square relationship test with a significance level of 95%. Chi Squere test results show that the p-value is 0.020. Therefore, the p-value α (0.05) means that there is a relationship between parity and the knowledge of pregnant women on the KIA Handbook at the Gamping 1 Health Center in Yogyakarta. Pregnant women are expected to continue to use and read the KIA Handbook during pregnancy in order to increase mother's knowledge.
