Through the comparative study of Chinese and foreign university foundations, this paper analyzes the issues of domestic university foundations, such as the lack of perfect macro system management, the difficulty of implementing preferential policies, and the weakness of fund-raising management. How to introduce a scientific management mechanism for university foundations to realize scientific management, benign development, and establish a good social image has become a practical problem that must be solved and a theoretical subject worthy of study. This paper focuses on universities to enhance the quality of talent cultivation, scientific research and innovation, social service capacity, and the construction of high-level universities. It puts forward measures to strengthen the legal system, standardize fund-raising behaviors, dynamically adjust incentives, give full play to the brand effect of colleges and universities, improve the regulatory system, and build information disclosure mechanisms to enhance the foundation’s governance capacity comprehensively, and to contribute to the construction of a solid educational country.","PeriodicalId":496835,"journal":{"name":"Sumerianz journal of social science","volume":"163 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141375917","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}
{"title":"Federal Government Expenditure on Agriculture and Agricultural Outputs in Nigeria","authors":"Benson Edet Ekpenyong Godwin Edet Bassey","doi":"10.47752/sjss.63.54.71","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.47752/sjss.63.54.71","url":null,"abstract":"Every industrialised country today passed through the agrarian era. In fact, the industrial sector takes its root from the agricultural sector. In a developing nation, government expenditure power is very central to all facets of development including agriculture. In view of this the study empirically evaluated the nexus between Federal Government Spending on the four sectors (crops, livestock, forestry and fishery) of agriculture as its determined agricultural output. The study employed secondary data spanning from 1981 – 2019 sourced from the CBN Statistical Bulletin, 2019 and World Bank Development Indicators, 2019. ADF and Unit Root testing technique, Johanson co-integration test, error correction model (ECM) and Granger causality test were employed as analytical tools in the course of the study,. Each of the four sectors of Agriculture was explained by total government expenditure on agriculture, interest rate, Annual Rainfall, official exchange rate and population growth. Federal government capital expenditure was found to be positively related to agricultural output, because an increase in government expenditure on agriculture is likely to lead to a multiple increase in agricultural output. The ECM model showed that interest rate on bank loan has significant positive impact on each agricultural output, annual rainfall also has a significant positive impact on each agricultural output while official exchange rate has a negative but significant impact on each agricultural output. The policy imports of this study is that governments at all levels should seek more productive ways to invest in the agricultural sector by upgrading to mechanised farming, providing fertilizers for improved yields, providing high-yield seedlings to ensure self-sufficiency; The commercial banks should complement government’s effort in ensuring that interest on loans to the agricultural sector are favourable as this would encourage more investors in the sector, among others.","PeriodicalId":496835,"journal":{"name":"Sumerianz journal of social science","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135097584","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}
