The main objective of this study is to ascertain the effect entrepreneurship development through credit delivery on the growth agricultural sector of the Nigerian economy. The specific objectives are to ascertain the effect of credit facilities for cash crop production on Agricultural sector; to determine the effect of credit facilities for livestock production on the growth of the agricultural sector; and to determine the extent to which credit facilities for fisheries affect the sector of the economy. The research is a co-relational study which seeks to examine the relationship between entrepreneurship development and the growth of agricultural sector of the Nigerian economy. The data was collected and analysed using the least square linear regression. The results reveal that that credit delivery for livestock farming have positive and significant effect on the growth of agricultural sector. Credit facilities on cash crop farming shows a negative effect on the growth of agricultural sector, while that of fish farming was found not to have significant effect on the growth of agricultural sector. It is therefore recommended that more money be pumped into the cash crop farming so as to boost the agricultural sector in particular and the Nigerian economy in general.

Online ads which are basically faster, more effective, and more accurate tend to be more engaging than traditional ads. The influence of online ads does not happen instantly, other factors contribute to the changes in consumer behavior to become more impulsive. Consumer need for cognition is the factor that mediates the relationship. Consumers who have need for cognition tend to be more easily influenced by online ads, especially when it's done repeatedly. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the relationship between repeated online ads and consumer need for cognition for the changes in consumer behavior that was strengthened or weakened by the COVID-19 pandemic. Hypothesis testing was carried out by using Partial Least Square - Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis with SmartPLS software. The research results showed that repeated online ads and consumers' need for cognition had a positive influence on consumer buying behavior, but the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative effect.

A mechanism has been developed to regulate the migration of the able-bodied rural population, taking into account the identified attractive and repulsive factors (income level, availability of medical services and general educational organizations) for groups of municipal districts depending on the level of demographic distress (depressed; partially depressed; border values that are borderline and successful). Through the mechanism for implementing decisions with regulatory support, taking into account municipal strategies for socio-economic development, a targeted administrative and managerial impact on business entities, the working population, social infrastructure and the socio-economic sphere of depressed, partially depressed, border and favorable regions of the region is substantiated. The mechanism is controlled by an interdepartmental commission on rural development under the relevant ministry (agriculture of the region) and is carried out using the tools of the organizational and economic module. These tools provide: improvement of social infrastructure, social guarantees and transparency in the labor market, stable earnings, provision of housing for professionals through long-term labor contracts (at least 10 years), the allocation of enterprises own funds for free assistance for overhaul and maintenance of social infrastructure facilities, implementation of investment projects in the areas of specialization of differentiated groups of regions, including crop production (mainly vegetable farming of closed soil) and livestock farming (sheep, fish farming, poultry farming), as well as the modernization and revitalization of the production and processing infrastructure of the agro-industrial complex (grain crops, elevators, slaughter shops, deep processing workshops). The systemic impact of the mechanism will create 726 additional jobs in the agricultural sectors in the Baltay, Petrovsk, Turki, Voskresenskoe, Novouzensk and Krasnoarmeysk districts and reduce the existing outflow of the population.

The objective of this article is to assess the effect of the agricultural sector on the economic growth in Ivory Coast.The data used are those of the World Bank and cover the period from 1985 to 2015. The analysis of the data required the use of the AutoRegressive Distributed Lag (ARDL). It emerges from this study that there is a positive and significant relationship between manufacturing agriculture and economic growth in the short and long term. On the other hand, the food-crop production has a negative effect on GDP, even if it is significant. The variable of interest such as agricultural investment has a positive and significant effect on economic development, while cash crop production have a positive but not significant effect on long-term economic growth. Therefore, in view of these results, the State must promote the processing of agricultural products in order to create more value added.
