This paper discusses the perception of gravel suppliers in the six states situated in South-western Nigeria. It reported findings from a research on gravel supply studies in the study area. Major gravel pits, together with their perceived technical characteristics in the states were identified through a structured questionnaire designed to solicit response from truck drivers and association of gravel suppliers. Based on this, factors affecting gravel supply and usage were measured by random variables devised for the purpose. The observed outcomes of the variables from the survey carried out constituted the research data. The collated data was analyzed based on quantitative method through the use of simple percentage method of data analysis. The paper posits that geological location of Lagos state is responsible for the absence of any gravel pit in the state, hence the prohibitive cost of gravel in the state when compared to other states in the zone. In all the states, more than 99% of gravel suppliers attribute transport as a major factor affecting the cost of gravels. The technical characteristics of gravels from South-western Nigeria are also perceived to be good in construction, though these assertions need to be empirically proved.

<p>Cassava has been identified as Africa’s second most important staple food after maize, in terms of calories consumed, with Nigeria as the World leading producer. This study estimated postharvest loss of cassava along the cassava value chain in Kwara State. It estimated the size of postharvest loss of cassava; analysed the factors responsible and the financial implications of loss; and identified the strategies employed in the mitigation of loss in the study area. A three-stage random sampling technique was used to select 117 cassava farmers whom were administered structured questionnaire to elicit data analysed by the study. Descriptive statistics, Shannon’s diversity index and Tobit regression model were the analytical techniques utilised. The results show that 68 % of the loss occurred at the harvesting. The loss was estimated to be about 3.8 t ha<sup>-1</sup>. The financial implication was valued at $ 300 ha<sup>-1</sup>. Analysis of the factors responsible for cassava postharvest loss showed that the quantity expected at harvesting, household size and age of the farmer were significant factors affecting cassava postharvest loss. The result also revealed that farmers mitigate these losses by processing the roots and reburying unused roots into the soil. Steps needed to reduce loss have to take these factors into consideration to improve the economic status of cassava farmers-processors.</p>

Purpose of the study: The objectives of the study were to critically analyse and explore the factors affecting job-search behaviour and to analyse the effect of such factors on job-search behaviour. Design/Methodology: 145 samples were obtained using a well-structured questionnaire from the population of 677 graduated students from Sohar University, using convenience sampling technique and the data collected was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Findings: The results of the study revealed that most of the graduated students do not have a clear method to apply for a future job whereas they believe that the internet is the best way to find a job and the degree they possess will help them to find a job in the field of their expertise. It was also revealed that they were confident that they have gained sufficient knowledge and skills required from the university and they prefer to have a clear plan to find a job. Research Implications: It was suggested that the Government should create jobs based on skills and open channels to recruit skilled graduates. It was also suggested that the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) should try to alter the curriculum and introduce professional/technical courses eliminating the gap between the HEIs and the labour market. Practical Implications: The study will help the colleges and the universities in conducting workshops and the related activities in engaging students towards increasing their skills. Originality: No study was carried out before to study the job-search behaviour of Omani students and this is a study of its own kind.

The study investigated the factors affecting job satisfaction amongst workers of the poultry sub-sector: a test of equity theory in the Dormaa Municipality in the Bono Region of Ghana. The multistage sampling technique was employed in collecting data from 100 poultry workers with the aid of a structured questionnaire. The logit model was employed in modeling the factors affecting job satisfaction. The empirical findings reveal that occupational level, pay, and relationships with co-workers were the statistically significant determinants of job satisfaction. Moreover, the study found that based on equity theory if poultry workers are satisfied with their pay, they would want to stay longer compared to referent others who are not satisfied. Benevolent poultry workers were dominant (52%), followed by equity sensitive (28%) and entitled (20%) poultry workers. Moving forward, the relevance of equity theory on workers in the cocoa value chain should also be investigated as cocoa remains a staple crop in Ghana. JEL Code: Q10
