E.Labour union leaders are very important to the success of any union activities. The labour leaders are expected to drive their members towards the achievement of the various goals set by the union.

In order to overcome these barriers, there is a call to promote digital industrial training programmes for the labour leaders through the principles of Adult Education. This paper examined the rationale and perspectives for promoting digital industrial training programmes among labour union leaders in Nigeria.Item Perception of influence of digital technology on occupational health safety training among academic staff in Nigerian universities(Educational Assessment and Research Network in Africa (EARNiA), 2021-06) Akinyooye, F. E.Academic are busy to participate in physical OHS training because of many engagements with their students, administrative work and community service.

E.; Fajimi, B. A.This study explored the practice of industrial relations in Nigeria during the military regime era and civilian government era. It drew a comparison between the eras to determine the impact of the power dynamics and relationships between the government and labour unions on Nigeria's industrial relations theory and practice. The study relied on the documentary method and obtained secondary sources data from a review of journals, textbooks, and official publications to examine the impacts of these two eras on industrial relations practice by diagnosing their involvement, intervention, and interference in labour union movements in the country. As the largest employer of labour, the government was more than the employer in the power dynamics of industrial relations practice. The industrial relations system evolved in an environment of government involvement, intervention, and interference, whether it was the military or civilian government in power. Consequently, the industrial relations practice in Nigeria has not been able to represent the management of institutionalized relationships in the social system to promote harmonious industrial co-existence between principal actors: government and labour unions. The study suggested that the government should serve as regulators in the industrial relations systems to manage institutionalized relationships through policies and evolve self-governing mechanisms devoid of interference for harmonious mutual co-existence with labour unions for stability in the policy and economic posterity in Nigeria.Item Patronage and effect of herbal medicine on residents of Bodija community in Ibadan metropolis(2019-07) Akinyooye, F. E.; Oyebami, M. O.The use of herbal medicine has been extensively studied among the adult and paediatric population with chronic illnesses, such as cancer and sickle cell anaemia. Although the therapies evolving have shown promising potential with the efficacy of a good number of herbal medicines established, many of them remain untested and their use is either poorly monitored or not monitored at all. Therefore, safety has also been a major issue with the use of herbal medicine, while there is the need for relevant regulatory authorities to be put in place with appropriate measures to prevent the abuse of herbal medicine.

The study recommended that government should make efforts by fully integrating herbal medicine into the modern health care System, as part of its objective of providing affordable, accessible and effective health care for all. It is also recommended that a Standard healthcare regulating framework must be set up for herbal medicine practitioners, among othersItem Influence of mass media on sustainable development goal one attainment in Osun State, Nigeria(2020) Akinyooye, F.

E.; Osainika, A. EThe commitment of employees in an Organization is very important especially in Service providing public Organization.

About 250 employees were selected into the study, their ages ranged between 20 and 59years, mean of 41.7 white Standard deviation of 8.27. Structured questionnaire was used for data collection. The result showed that educational qualification significantly influenced employee's commitment (F[5,249] =3.05;P<05). Employees with primary school certificate (x=61.00; SD=0.01) significantly different from other employees with OND/NCE (x Diff=15.26; Std Error=6.13; P<.05), B.Sc./BEn/BA (x Diff.=15.01; Std Error=6.10; P<.05), and Postgraduate (x_Diff.= 16.94; Std Error=6.22; P<.05); however, not significantly different from employees with SSCE (x Dijf.=10.27; Std Error=6.57; P>.05) on employees' commitment. Therefore, employees with primary school certificates contributed to the significance of educational qualification on employees' commitment. More so, income significantly predicts employee commitment (R2=.14, R=.38; ß=.38; F (1,248) = 41.75; P<.01). The income of employees accounted for 14% variance that occurred in employees' commitment. The study concluded that income of the employees including their bonus, allowances and other benefits should be closely paid attention to, while considering educational qualification of the employees especially when recruiting and allocating employees into job units
