Title: LIFE-CYCLE COST ANALYSIS (LCCA) COMPARISON OF PAVEMENTS (FLEXIBLE, RIGID AND RIGID-ADMIXED WITH COW BONE ASH)

Abstract: Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) acts as a decision support tool in economic evaluation of cost (agency and user) during pavement type selection, maintenance and rehabilitation strategy. The Life cycle cost analysis was done using the Present worth of Cost method. Technical Recommendations for Highway (TRH) 12 (pavement rehabilitation investigation and design) analysis was used for calculating the agency cost which entailed the initial rehabilitation, maintenance, future and salvage cost. The LCCA analysis period for this study was taken as 40 years as the analysis period have to be sufficiently long to reflect long-term cost differences associated with reasonable design strategies. The result of the study shows that the present worth cost for the varying Pavement presents the options available for decision making. The result revealed that the initial cost of Rigid pavement is the highest followed by the initial cost of Rigid pavement with 15% CBA while flexible Pavement has the lowest initial cost. However, considering the result showing the present worth cost for the varying pavement types present worth cost of flexible pavement is the highest followed by Rigid pavement and Rigid pavement with 15% CBA has the lowest life cycle cost. The study recommended that Rigid pavement with 15% CBA should be considered because it gives the lowest life cycle cost and the initial cost is relatively low.

Title: YOUTH EMPOWERMENT AS A VERITABLE TOOL FOR PEACE AND NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Authors: ASA, KOLAWOLE JAYEOLA; KUDEHINBU, OLUFUNKE O.
Abstract: This study focused on youth empowerment as a veritable tool for the
realization of peaceful co-existence and national development. In doing this it
looked at the concept of youth and traced their idleness to inadequacies in the
school curriculum which invariably results to their restfulness and
involvement in social vices. The paper found out that the systematic
development of entrepreneurial skills in youths will bring about peace and
sustainable national development. It suggested a review of entrepreneurial
education curriculum, proper mentoring and provision of infrastructure by
government as a means of facilitating youth entrepreneurial skills.

Title: RECRUITMENT PROCESS: A CATALYST FOR EMPLOYEES’ PERFORMANCE IN THE NIGERIAN PUBLIC SERVICE. AN EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FROM THE LAGOS STATE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE
Authors: LASISI, OLUKAYODE IDRIS; ASA, KOLAWOLE JAYEOLA,
Abstract: The Nigerian public service as a machinery of government is empowered to deliver public service to its citizenry. For the public service to achieve its activities geared towards the attainment of its pre-targeted goals, emphasis is therefore, being laid on the calibre of its work force. The process of having calibre workforce in the public service does happen through effective recruitment and selection process which determines the type of employees that exists in the public service thereby determining the job performance of the public service. This study examined the impact of the recruitment and selection process on performance in the Lagos State Internal Revenue Service. This study adopted a descriptive survey research design. This study involved an in-depth inquiry involving a structured questionnaire to collect data from the respondents. The findings revealed that a good recruitment and selection process helps employees in identifying problems in the organization; makes employees arrive early to meetings; helps employees in taking appropriate actions on problems as necessary; promotes prompt arrival to work and takes appropriate actions on issues. This study concluded that all qualified candidates should therefore of necessity be treated with fairness and equity and as much as possible, the elements of nepotism, tribalism, favouritism, gender discrimination, ethnicity, godfatherism and corruption must be eroded thereby giving equal opportunities to all qualified applicants. This study recommended that public services should upgrade their recruitment and selection procedures to meet up with the rising demands of the competitive labour forces.

Title: Discrete Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) and Quantity Reorder Point Inventory Control: Implication on Resource Optimization in Nigerian Manufacturing Companies
Authors: Adesuyi, I.O; Nwekpa, K.C; Bassey, J.U
Abstract: Purpose
The purpose of this study is to explore the implication of discrete Economic order Quantity (EOQ) and Recorder point on the optimization of resources in Nigeria manufacturing companies.
Design/Methodology Approach
A quantitative research design was employed of which secondary data obtained from the annual report and account of tern year period (2004-2013) from the studied firms were used. Data collected were estimated using Microsoft excel and exponential smoothing for each of the studied firms.
Findings
The economic order Quantity (EOQ) that is the quantity that minimizes total cost of raw material for each of the studied firms were determine discretely and by exponential smoothing. The results obtained, compared, we found that the result obtained by discrete EOQ were higher than the corresponding results obtained by exponential smoothing. The implication is that the discrete EOQ method over estimates resource optimization.
Conclusion
It is concluded that total cost of inventory is greatly reduced by the application of exponential smoothing method of EOQ and hence the essence of the method and the usefulness of this study.
