This study was a descriptive survey research and mixed approach was applied in data collection and data presentation. The sample population of this study was 150 ESL teachers in government schools and 6 ADEs – English of 6 education zones in the Eastern Province. The research instruments of the study was a questionnaire and a focus interview. The results-based conclusions show that majority of the participants possess only A/L, NDE and HNDE qualifications whereas a few number of participants possess BA in English and postgraduate qualifications related to English. The reasons put forward by several teachers for possessing lower academic qualifications were: lack of income, remote opportunities and resources in participants’ home city, holding only A/L, NDE and HNDE qualifications and issues in travelling long distance. Particularly, the government of Sri Lanka does not bear the course fee for educational qualifications or grant study leave for teachers and there are no any promotions and salary increment for educational qualifications in SLTS. This is one of the reasons for the failure to complete their basic degree and postgraduate studies related to English. The lower academic qualifications of the ESL teachers negatively impact on students’ English language learning and development to a larger extent.","PeriodicalId":29810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Sciences and Management Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82884458","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}

The setting is Nigeria and Camerouns, two typical African countries. The objectives were to find out the main media of information from the government, the major theme of covid 19 messages, the perception about covid 19 messages by Africans. The study adopted the ex post facto survey method with a population of 6,269,945 and a sample size of 600 persons. The research applied the media constructivism and information manipulation theories. Findings revealed that 84% of the respondents got covid 19 messages from traditional media of , group meetings, radio and television rather than from social media interface with government agencies. Data further revealed that 96 % of the residents accepted the message of covid 19 control of hand washing more than on social distancing and face-masking. Responses indicated that 81 % of the residents regarded covid 19 messages as mere romours, fake media propaganda and anti – religious campaign from the government. Recommendations are: government should adopt regular group discussions and social media to conveying vital messages rather than reliance on transient old information sources. Additionally, messages must be motivating, convincing and persuasive to influence positive attitude.","PeriodicalId":29810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Sciences and Management Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88930688","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}

This justifies that the two public and private schools in General Santos City implements and integrates Solid Waste Management to a great extent. It is imperative, therefore, for the schools to continue prioritizing the programs and advocacies on solid waste management.

Consequently, the paper investigates the inhibitors to the adoption and effective implementation of e-governance in the University of Abuja and how to mitigate them. Primary and secondary data were collected for the study. The primary data were obtained from copies of the questionnaire distributed, while the secondary data constitute relevant literature which were extensively reviewed. Hypotheses were tested using Z-test and multiple regression. The findings reveal that poor funding, inadequate awareness of e-governance activities and its importance, resistance to change and lack of training and retraining of personnel are the factors affecting the effective implementation of e-governance in the University of Abuja. It was also discovered that these barriers have affected the performance of the university, with funding being the most significant barrier affecting performance followed by low awareness of e-governance activities. In view of the above findings, the study recommends that adequate attention should be given to the funding of ICT within the University, an awareness campaign on the importance of e-governance be carried out in the University, and only qualified ICT personnel be recruited into the ICT department and that the University should periodically audit how funds allocated for e-governance development are utilized.\u0000Keywords: Inhibitors, E-governance, Adoption, Implementation, Performance, Nigeria\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":29810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Sciences and Management Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88834276","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}

Therefore, as library service providers are trying to guarantee the smooth operation of the physical library, they are also struggling to ensure a seamless digital library. Therefore, various aspect of the design such as the aesthetic condition which include the e-aesthetics need to be put into consideration in designing the digital library web pages respectively. It was on this premise that this study focused on the relevance of e-aesthetics in the sustainability of Nigerian Libraries in this digital era. The study adopted an interpretivist research paradigm hinged on the a systematic literature review strategy of journal articles, books, and other online materials in addition to focusing on empirical studies between year 2000 and 2021 from Google Scholar. A content analysis was deployed and information resources obtained were grouped into the major themes to address the objective of the study. The findings of this study revealed that as aesthetic conditions and facilities were of high relevance and significance in the traditional library operation towards ensuring increase usage and sustainability, so the relevance of e-aesthetics in the sustainability of Nigerian Libraries in the digital era cannot be underestimated if Nigeria libraries must keep abreast to the global effect of digital transformational effect on the library and information service system.

However, issues of poor quality and substandard products prevail due to limited technical knowledge that hindered them from competing locally and globally in Nigeria—arising from the lack of lean manufacturing deployment and implementation. Therefore, the study aims to provide an insight into the prospect and challenges of manufacturing SMEs in Nigeria as it relates to the deployment of lean manufacturing tools and techniques. The study would aid manufacturing SMEs in better comprehending their potentials and problems, hence, deploying lean manufacturing initiatives successfully. The study applied a literature review approach through past empirical and conceptual studies from reputable journals and reports. Based on the available literature, the study finds that though manufacturing SMEs in Nigeria are faced with numerous issues, e.g., poor leadership, lack of qualified personnel, and inadequate funds , they have shown higher prospects of deploying lean manufacturing successfully. The study concludes that manufacturing SMEs should bank on potentials like flexible organizational culture and structure, easy access to customers and suppliers, and flexible manufacturing system to deploy lean manufacturing, which will further aid in waste elimination, value addition, customer satisfaction, and enhanced performance. The study serves as the foundation for further empirical research on issues related to lean manufacturing deployment within SMEs, thereby proffering solutions to the quality challenges they are facing. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":29810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Sciences and Management Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75459905","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}
