Academic staff from three chartered private universities with representative sample size of 287 were involved in the study. Binary logit model was employed to analyse the study objectives, followed by the qualitative content analyses.\u0000\u0000Findings –– Remuneration and job security for staff are the most significant factors for academic staff switching intention. Also, the leadership style discouraged some academic staff to leave. Males have showed greater propensity to switch as compared to females. \u0000\u0000Conclusion & Recommendation –– Management of private universities should promote staff welfare to avoid switching intentions of academic staff. Private university management could collaborate with prominent universities to assist academic staff in gaining experience and recognition, which could attract them grants. \u0000\u0000Keywords –– Switching, switching intention, Academic Staff, Chartered Private Universities","PeriodicalId":106473,"journal":{"name":"General Call","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131555063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were analyzed using Means, Analysis of Variance and Eta squared.\u0000\u0000Findings –– All livelihood subscales were positively impacted (Physical=3.65±0.41, Natural=3.64±0.54, Financial=3.60±0.44, Social=3.58 ±0.39, Human=3.33±1.29 and they all differed significantly(P<0.05). Impact of UPVP on farmers’ livelihood subscales was moderately high. \u0000\u0000Conclusion & Recommendation –– The study concluded that UPVP can serve as a resilient sector for Nigeria’s economy and sustainable development. Support groups and financial resources can improve farmers' well-being. Physical capital, directly and indirectly, affects the performance of work by farmers and therefore productivity. The study recommends that farmers should invest more in human capital to boost their production capacity and enhance sustainable livelihood.\u0000\u0000Keywords –– Environment, Sustainable Livelihood, Urban and peri-urban Agriculture, Food security, Vegetables.","PeriodicalId":106473,"journal":{"name":"General Call","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129828353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
