In contemporary Nigeria, a large number of graduates are turned out from the different tertiary institutions of higher learning every year. The fact is that such graduates while in the school believe that they will be out of school rigour on graduation and will soon start life as soon as they are gainfully employed. But such dreams are in most cases shattered by the non-availability of jobs for such graduates. In the light of this, a good number of people who are graduates from the different higher institutions in Nigeria roam the streets in search of non-existing jobs. This paper deals with speciality areas of music and sculpture, the advantages and benefits inherent in these areas and their roles in generating employment with the major components highlighted. For Nigeria to attain the employment generation level of the post MDGs, there is a need to put in place vocational trainings that would enhance the right input of highly skilled human resources in music and sculpture to feed the labour market for the overall growth and development of the nation.

Kepuasan pengguna merupakan isu yang paling kerap dibincangkan dalam semua organisasi sama ada sektor awam mahupun swasta. Para pelajar intitusi pengajian tinggi merupakan pengguna dalaman kepada servis dan produk yang ditawarkan kepada mereka; lebih-lebih lagi kepada institut yang telah diiktiraf dan mendapat persijilan ISO 9000. Dengan menggunakan pengubahsuaian pengukuran SERVPERF dan SERVQUAL dalam kajian literatur, satu kajian telah dibuat untuk mengukur tahap dan pengaruh kepuasan pengguna kepada Fakulti Pengurusan dan Pembangunan Sumber Manusia, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Skudai, Johor. Hasil dari kajian menunjukkan bahawa kepuasan pengguna bertambah apabila mereka melihat perubahaan yang signifikan dari segi penawaran servis dan produk yang dilakukan selepas fakulti mendapat sijil ISO 9000. Kata kunci: ISO 9000; Kualiti; Kepuasan Pengguna; Institut Pengajian Tinggi; Pemasaran Servis Customer satisfaction is perhaps one of the most talked about challenges of organizations, both in private and public sectors. In tertiary institutions, students can be categorized as customers they use the services and products provided, especially the institutes which have been awarded the ISO 9000 certification. By using the modified SERVPERF and SERVQUAL instrument as suggested in the literature review, a survey was conducted to measure the level and to explain customer satisfaction at the Faculty of Management and Human Resource Development, University Technology Malaysia, Skudai, Johor. The findings show that customer satisfaction increases significantly in relation to the output/outcomes from the implementation of quality service and product after the faculty was awarded the ISO 9000 certificate.

Background: Studies have shown that new entrants in institutions of higher learning are at risk of sexual exploits by older students. Drama has been identified as an intervention strategy capable of internalizing both the emotional and cognitive dimensions of sexual problems for positive changes. This study used drama to create awareness on likely common sexual exploits in institutions of higher learning. Methods: Study used first year students in three universities, federal, state and private. It was assumed that first year students in institutions of higher learning are likely to be exposed to sexual overtures by older students. It was considered that using drama as an intervention will create awareness on types of sexual overtures experienced in tertiary institutions. A random sample of ninety ((90) students, comprising thirty (30) students in each of the universities studied was selected. Pre- and post-self-administered questionnaire were given to the selected students to complete. On completion, copies of the questionnaire (pre- and post) were analyzed using Tables and percentages. Results: The study showed that students in the three universities studied were approached for sex by fellow students but this was more in Rhema University 8 (28. 8%) than in other universities. Both male and female sexes approached the students for sex. Finding showed that some students practiced anal, oral, and multiple sex, but this was more in MOUA 10 (33.3%) than in ABSU and Rhema with 9 (30%) respectively. For knowledge on how HIV is transmitted, students had the knowledge that HIV transmission occurs by sharing sharp objects. This knowledge was more among students in MOUA 29 (97%) than those in ABSU 28 (93%) and Rhema 27 (90%). Conclusions: Drama therefore, is a valuable and timely intervention strategy capable of encouraging HIV risk reduction among university students.

The term, Big Data has been coined to refer to the gargantuan bulk of data that cannot be dealt with by traditional data-handling techniques. Big Data is still a novel concept, and in the following literature we intend to elaborate it in a palpable fashion. It commences with the concept of the subject in itself along with its properties and the two general approaches of dealing with it. Big Data provides an opportunity to educational Institutions to use their Information Technology resources strategically to improve educational quality and guide students to higher rates of completion, and to improve student persistence and outcomes. This paper explores the attributes of big data that are relevant to educational institutions, investigates the factors influencing adoption of big data and analytics in learning institutions and seeks to establish the limiting factors hindering use of big data in Institutions of higher learning. A survey research design was adopted in conducting this research and Questionnaire was the instrument employed for data collection.
