Assessing the Effects of Fuel Subsidy Removal on Students' Academic Achievement
(Journal of Information Systems Engineering and Management 2025, 2025-05-10) Taofeek Gbolahan Muibi; Ganiyu Oluwaseyi Quadri; Wilfred I. Ukpere
The paper assessed the effects of fuel subsidy removal on students' academic achievement at university of Ibadan. The descriptive survey research design was adopted with sample consisted of 150 undergraduate students from three faculties of Arts, Education and the Social Sciences (50 from each faculty). The quaestionnaire entitled “Effects of Fuel Subsidy on Students’ Academic Achievement at University of Ibadan Inventory (EFSSAAI)” was the major instrument used for data gathering. Data collected was analyse through descriptive statistics of frequency counts and percentages as well as multiple regression. The paper found that subsidy removal effect (effects (class attendance, course materials and stress level) significantly influence students' academic achivement (F (3,146) = 33.983; R = .641, R2 = .411, Adjusted R2 = .399, p< 0.05), explaining 41.1% of the variance. In light of these result, government and university management should expand financial aid programmes and provide information about scholarship opportunities to support students financially as well as collaborate with local businesses to create part-time job opportunities on or near the campus, enabling students to earn income to cover their living and educational expenses

Exploring the Impact of Social Interactions on Academic Achievement among Learners at the National Open University of Nigeria
(The Journal of Positive Psychology and Counselling, 2025-05-10) Quadri, Ganiyu Oluwaseyi; Muibi, T. G.
It has become necessary to integrate both in-person and virtual learning exchanges in order to address the issue of learners feeling disconnected and uncomfortable while studying remotely. Based on this, the study examined the effects of social interactions (face-to-face tutorial meetings and online interactions) on learners’ academic achievement in the institution. The study design used was a descriptive survey. 200 students were chosen at random from the colleges of law, arts and social science, business and human resources, education, science and technology, and the centre for continuing education, making up the population of 100–500 level students. We used the Perceived Social Interaction on Learners' Academic Achievement in the National Open University of Nigeria Scale (r=.82) as the study's questionnaire, which consisted of thirty questions. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression were used to examine the data. The findings of the research showed that social interactions—both in-person tutorial sessions and online interactions—co-accounted for 02.2% of the variation in students' academic achievement and had no discernible impact on it (F (2,189) = 2.135; R2 = 0.022). Based on the study's results, the administration of the National Open University of Nigeria was advised to include social media, Google apps, and all learning technologies in order to support both in-person and virtual interactions. This proactive approach would ensure learners' participation and retention in the institution. This unique research on social connections and students' academic progress was carried out at the National Open University of Nigeria.
APPRAISAL OF LEAD IN THE ORGANS AND TISSUES OF DOMESTIC CHICKEN (GALLUS GALLUS DOMESTICUS) IN IBADAN
(2016) Tyokumbur,E.T
A study was carried out on the assessment of lead in the organs and tissues of domestic chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) in Ibadan from August to October 2015. Ten (10) chickens (layers and broilers) expressed as samples 1-10 were purchased from different retailer markets (Bodija, Ojoo and Sango) within Ibadan City. The chickens were dissected to remove the intestine, liver, kidney, blood, feathers and muscles were oven-dried at 220°C. The pulverized organ and tissues samples were acid- digested and analyzed for the heavy metal lead (Pb) using Buck Scientific Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The results showed that the highest Pb concentrations in parts per million (ppm) were recorded in the liver (2.940 ± 0.040), intestine (3.9800 ± 0.500), kidney (3.6600 ± 0.6000), feather (3.5900 ± 0.06000), and muscle (3.400 ± 0.4000) in sample 10, while the lowest concentration was recorded in the kidney (0.150 ± 0.0300) in sample 1 all at Bodija Market. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) revealed significance of the Pb metal in the organs and tissues of chickens at P<0.05. Less than half of the samples had Pb concentration that exceeded the permissible limit of 0.1 ppm set by FAO/WHO. The study shows that meat from the chicken organs and tissues in Ibadan are relatively safe for human consumption.
EVALUATION OF EFFECTS OF HEAVY METALS ON ABUNDANCE AND DIVERSITY OF SOIL MITES IN A TROPICAL LANDFILL
(2016) Tyokumbur,E.T
A study was carried out the Evaluation of Effects of Heavy Metals on Abundance and Diversity of Soil Mites in a tropical landfill in Ibadan from April to July 2003. Heavy metal sources from natural and the anthropogenic factors have increased their bioavailability and ecological impacts in the ecosystem. The objective of the study was to assess the impact of heavy metals on soil mites in a tropical landfill site in Ibadan. Five demarcated study plots at the landfill were randomly selected and marked out with a dimension of 10 metres by 10 metres with a Control site of the same dimension located at an elevated location about 100 metres away from the edge of the landfill. Soil samples at a depth of <10 cm were collected from the study plots using a hand trowel on a monthly basis. Buckard –Model of Berlesce-Tullgren funnel extractor was used to extract soil mites while the soil samples were acid-digested for heavy metal analyses using Shimadzu Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. With the exception Pb (1.99 ppm) at Plot 3, all the other mean heavy metals were below that of the Control Plot (6). Soil mite taxa had higher abundance and diversity at the Control plots than in the landfill. Heavy metals Cr, Ni, Zn, Cu, Mn and Fe concentrations in the study exceeded guideline limits set by the Federal Ministry of Environment (FEPA, 1992). The study concludes that the soil in Aba- Eku landfill in Ibadan is contaminated by heavy metals.
