It provides employment and goods to the teaming population of the country and so combats poverty. These prospects are greatly threatened if air pollution associated with industrialization is not checked. Air pollution is the emission into the atmosphere of particulate matter and gases which have deleterious effects on human health, the ecosystem and the environment on which humankind depends. Air pollution causes among other things nasal, eye and airway irritation, and even lung and heart problems. Studies show that air pollution is currently responsible for more deaths in Africa than malnutrition or dirty water. A way out of the air pollution occasioned by industrialisation is to pursue industrialisation along the paths of air quality and pollution control regulations; or else industrialisation would be counterproductive. Thus, this paper appraises the legal regime for the control of air pollution in Nigeria. This covers the international legal instruments ratified by Nigeria as well as the municipal legislations and regulations on the subject. The finding is that though Nigeria has legislations and regulations on air pollution control, they are out of date and not in tune with developments in international environmental law. It recommends a review of these legislations and regulations. The methodology of the paper is doctrinal.","PeriodicalId":355698,"journal":{"name":"UNIZIK JOURNAL OF BUSINESS","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131933705","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}

That the manufacturing organizations contribute about 80 percent of total GDP of many developed countries is a fact. That manufacturing sub-sector has substantial roles to play in the growth, development and sustenance of the Nigerian economy has been ascertained by many researchers and that the Igbo people in the South-East of Nigeria have a lot of stakes in the entrepreneurial development and sustenance of the Nigerian economy is an established truth. But it is appalling to discover that manufacturing outfits in South-East Nigeria have not been given the attention they deserve to be able to make the needed impact on the growth and sustainable development of the area under study in particular and the nation in general. Based on the above, this paper has sought to examine the relevant the literature to build a sustainable framework for the entrepreneurial growth and development of the Nigerian economy using entrepreneurial organizations in South-East Nigeria as a reference point. The study makes use of descriptive and qualitative content analysis in collecting and analyzing relevant data. The study further builds a framework which, if applied, is expected to practically lead to the sustainable growth and development of the Nigerian economy. Findings from the literature show that entrepreneurship has been widely acclaimed by many developed countries of the world as the wheels on which sustainable economies revolve. Conclusions are drawn based on the findings and recommendations made based on the conclusions","PeriodicalId":355698,"journal":{"name":"UNIZIK JOURNAL OF BUSINESS","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116192877","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}

There have also been daunting challenges of access to long-term capital needed to employ modern farming equipment, inadequate inputs and storage facilities, weak agricultural extension and out-dated sectoral infrastructure, all resulting to years of low agricultural productivity. Hence, this study investigates the impact of agricultural equipment financing on increased productivity in the Agricultural sector in Nigeria. The study employs the archival and documentary research design which involves secondary data collection. 16 years data on total annual financial expenditure on agricultural equipment and data for agricultural output and export earnings from 2000 to 2015 (16 years) form the population of the study. Data on cumulative annual expenditure on agricultural equipment financing (AEF), an aggregate of technological advancement in mechanized farming (TMF) and agricultural productivity (AP), were employed. The findings reveal that agricultural equipment financing has a significant impact on technological advancement of mechanized farming and that there is a significant relationship between technological advancement of mechanized farming and production output. The study therefore recommends that efforts should be made by agricultural intervention agencies and financial institutions to increase credit financing for agricultural equipment, which is a sustainable measure towards revolutionizing and industrialisation of the economy through technological advancement in the sector.","PeriodicalId":355698,"journal":{"name":"UNIZIK JOURNAL OF BUSINESS","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121780981","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 study examines conscientiousness and paranoid ideation as predictors of workplace hostility among university non-academic staff. 210 non-academic staff, comprising 98 (47%) males and 112 (53%) females who were randomly selected through the simple random sampling technique from Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka, Anambra State, were used as participants for the study. The ages of the participants ranged between 25 and 61, with the mean age of 35 and standard deviation of 9.56. The Symptom Distress Checklist (SCL-90) by L.R. Derogatis, R.S Lipman & L. Covi (1977) and Big Five Inventory (BFI) by O.P. John, & R.L. Kentle (1991) were used for data collection. A correlational design was adopted and multiple regression analysis was employed to analyze the data collected. Two hypotheses were tested in the study. The first hypothesis, which stated that conscientiousness will significantly predict workplace hostility among university non-academic staff, was not significant at p>.05 and so, was not accepted. The second hypothesis which stated that paranoid ideation will significantly predict workplace hostility among university non-academic staff was significant at p<.05 and so, confirmed. Based on the findings, it is recommended that workplace interventions, in the form of ombudsmen or industrial psychologists, be engaged in organizations to mediate workplace behaviours that are inimical to organizational well-being, productivity and effectiveness for better industrialization in Africa","PeriodicalId":355698,"journal":{"name":"UNIZIK JOURNAL OF BUSINESS","volume":"296 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115231945","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 is a theoretical paper based on the facets of theories of production and enterprise development. Banana value creation through entrepreneurship for industrial growth in Africa is aimed at job creation, wealth creation, enterprise development, crowd funding, industrial clusters and sustainable development in Africa. The Banana, when well-nurtured, has a capacity to sustain production over a long period of time, suckering and multiplying successively, even on low-nutrient soils of African countries. In Nigeria, production appears best in the South-West, South-East and South-South geopolitical zones of the country. The North-Central zone can also competitively produce comparable scales. African entrepreneurs engaging in banana production or processing would obtain sustained economic satisfaction in terms of food security and income for small-scale farmers; international trade; domestic consumption; flour, chips and fried banana processing; and alcoholic/non-alcoholic beverages. This paper finds that banana value creation and entrepreneurship can enhance consistent wealth creation and industrialization in\u0000Africa.","PeriodicalId":355698,"journal":{"name":"UNIZIK JOURNAL OF BUSINESS","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120959836","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}

Africa as a continent has continued to lag behind in industrialization mainly because most of the countries that make it up are still not measuring up in the indices of global competitiveness, especially the ease of doing business index published by the World Bank. Nigeria, the focus of the study, usually described as one of the largest economies in Africa, still has many hurdles preventing it from satisfying most indicators of the ease of doing business index. This study was informed by the need to investigate the specific factors militating against the ease of doing business in Nigeria comparing them with those of select leading nations. Findings reveal that procedures for starting a business, getting electricity, registering property, and paying taxes were the most problematic areas encountered by Nigeria’s small and medium scale businesses. It was, therefore, recommended that procedures and requirements towards reaching the mentioned indices in the ease of doing business should be made more easily accessible and multiple taxations made impossible through more stringent laws.","PeriodicalId":355698,"journal":{"name":"UNIZIK JOURNAL OF BUSINESS","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133603171","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}
