Primary data (on living standard, employment, social inclusion, climate, location, resources, and environmental stability) were generated through mixed questionnaires administered to the respondents in a household survey. A random selection of nine (9) LGAs in the State was done, with three (3) LGAs selected from each of Benue North, Benue Central and Benue South. A sample of 820 was selected out of the population of 2,065,400. The logistic regression analysis was employed to examine the impact of geographical factors on economic development of rural households in Benue state with analysis done using the SPSS. Geographical factors, such as climate, location, resources and environmental stability, were found to have negative impacts on the standard of living, employment and social inclusion of households in rural communities of Benue state, thereby significantly impacting the economic development of such households in the state. It was recommended among others that, the ministries concerned with rural development should concentrate on linking the rural communities to the urban areas for the flow of goods, services and information.","PeriodicalId":406884,"journal":{"name":"African Journal of Economics and Sustainable Development","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124906144","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 period has been carefully selected as it captures the different eras of policy implementation in Nigeria such as the pre–SAP era, SAP era, and the post–SAP era; and is long enough to make an objective assessment of the determinants of inflation in Nigeria. The study applied Auto–Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) methodology based on the outcome of the ADF unit root test which revealed that the variables are integrated of I (1) and I (0). The ARDL bounds test result provided evidence of a stronghold long-run relationship among the variables. This necessitated the estimation of ARDL short-run and long-run results. The short-run results of both models revealed that YGAP, M2, TGE, TIMP and UEMPR were significant determinants of inflation in Nigeria whereas the long-run results indicated that TGE, TIMP and UEMPR were significant determinants of inflation in Nigeria. The impact of YGAP, M2, TGE and TIMP was positive in both long and short runs whereas YGAP, TIMP, TGE and UEMPR impacted negatively on inflation in both periods. The outcome of all the diagnostic tests supported the acceptability of the models’ results. The study concludes that both demand–pull and cost–push factors are responsible for inflation in Nigeria and also provide the social infrastructure that would encourage private investment.","PeriodicalId":406884,"journal":{"name":"African Journal of Economics and Sustainable Development","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131258764","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 question is premised on why the Sustainable Development Goals matter as well as revealing its importance to the continent of Africa and Africans. A qualitative research method was adopted during the study. The findings revealed that sustainable development matters, and serve as a necessity in closing certain gaps of the human living index in Africa. Many Africans especially in the rural environment are not aware of the sustainable development goals. Thus, Africa needs more education, information, workshops and seminars to enlighten the people on the importance of the SDGs. This study also showed that the participants interviewed do not know how to drive and achieve the SDGs in the urban area. Finally, unanimously, the respondents agree that poverty, food insecurity, gender and infrastructure development are the major challenges facing the continent. Thus, the Sustainable Development Goals become a matter of necessity for Africans, therefore it matters. The limitation of this study is that it was carried out in just three countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, the generalized study results about Africa are only limited to a few African nations. It was challenging gathering data as most participants were reluctant about providing information based on trust deficit prevalent in the continent. Some participants altogether felt uncomfortable participating in the research.","PeriodicalId":406884,"journal":{"name":"African Journal of Economics and Sustainable Development","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128560800","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 for the research was extracted from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Statistical Bulletin (2020). The multiple regression with the application of Ordinary Least Square (OLS) technique was employed in obtaining the numerical estimates of the coefficient in different equations (Pre-Online and Post-Online Tax Regimes). The One-Sample Test was employed to estimate the difference between pre-online and post-online taxation systems on economic growth in Nigeria. The major findings of the study revealed that pre-online tax revenue has a negative and non-significant effect on economic growth in Nigeria, post-online tax revenue has a positive and significant effect on economic growth in Nigeria, and there is significant difference between pre- and post-online tax revenue in Nigeria. It is the recommendation of the study that there should be stringent penalties imposed on any individual or corporate body who indulges in any form of tax malpractices, irrespective of states. If the positive impact of tax revenue on economic growth should be maintained, then the online tax system should be constantly reviewed so as to address emerging problems and to evolve with the changing economic landscape and increased complexity of today’s business environment.","PeriodicalId":406884,"journal":{"name":"African Journal of Economics and Sustainable Development","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115867524","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}

In Nigeria, the incidence of FI is higher among the rural populace, particularly the peasant farming households, than urban households. Previous studies have linked aggregate measure of rural livelihoods to FI with little attention to contributions of specific components to FI. Hence, the influence of rural livelihoods on FI status of farming households was investigated. Primary data were collected from 400 farming households in Osun and Ekiti states of Southwestern Nigeria using semi-structured questionnaire. The result shows that age of household heads was 51.9±11.4 years, while household size was 8±2.9 persons. Households that were Core Food-insecure (CFI), Moderately Food-insecure (MFI) and Non Food-insecure (NFI) were 4.38%, 35.89% and 59.73%, respectively. The probability of being NFI was increased by age (0.0115), Being Married-BM (0.1073), Household Size-HS (0.0166), Post Primary Education-PPE (0.1090), Access to Irrigation-AI (0.1376), rain forest zone (0.1417), and Financial Asset-FA (0.1630), while extension services (-0.0040) and Access to National Grid-ANG (-0.1620) reduced it. Extension services (0.0030), farming experience-FE (0.0052), and ANG (0.1202) increased the probability of being MFI, while age (-0.0085), BM (-0.0706), PPE (-0.0809), HS (-0.0123), AI (-0.1020) and rain-forest zone (-0.1051) reduced it. Extension services (0.0011), FE (0.0018), and ANG (0.0419) increased the probability of being CFI, while age (-0.0030), BM (-0.0277), PPE (-0.0282), HS (-0.0043), AI (-0.0356), rain-forest zone (-0.0366) and FA (-0.4210) reduced it.

The idea now has a 17-goal agenda, which was adopted in January 2015, by the UNDP to be achieved within a time frame of 15 years, from 2015 to 2030. Even though Africa is not on the same level as the global North, in terms of development, all African countries now embrace the idea. Using public policy as a perspective in understanding the implementation of the 17 goals, because all the 17 goals are policy issues and the state is central to policy formulation and implementation, this paper, therefore, interrogates the nature of the African state in order to see the extent to which African countries can achieve the 17 goals. The paper observes that the nature of the African state must be put in a proper perspective in order to understand why African countries may not achieve even one of the 17 goals within the 15- year time frame. This is because the state is today, the problem with the African development process, for being in crisis and for operating with very weak institutions.","PeriodicalId":406884,"journal":{"name":"African Journal of Economics and Sustainable Development","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121139235","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}
