Health Sector has motivated this research and the issues of the
performances of the sector in recent time. The paper employs the
ARDL (Autoregressive Distributed Lag) bounds test approach to
cointegration and error correction analysis to investigate the long run and
short run relationship of health indicators (capital health expenditure,
recurrent health expenditure and life expectancy rate) on human
development index in Nigeria from 1990 to 2021. The empirical evidence
validates the Mushkin's health-led growth hypothesis as total expenditure on
health is observed to have had positive and no signicant long-run and shortrun effects on the economy. Evidence from the analysis is that both recurrent
health expenditure and life expectancy rate impact on Human Development
Index (HDI) in the long run, but capital and recurrent health expenditure
negatively impact HDI in the short run. However, life expectancy is positive
and highly signicant in the short run. The paper recommends, inter alia,
monitoring of the budgetary allocation to the health sector in order to address
the prevalent corruption in the industry and to enhance its contribution to the
human development index. It also recommends more training opportunities
and improvement on the welfare of the people.

Data were sourced from CBN Statistical Bulletin, NBS Data and World Bank Data Bank. The result validates the Mushkin's health-led growth hypothesis as total expenditure on health is observed to have had positive and no significant long-run and short-run effects on the GDP. Further evidence from the analysis is that life expectancy also impacts negatively on GDP in the long-and short-run and highly significant. The effect of life expectancy is observed to be positive in the short-run, but negative statistically not significant in the long run. The paper recommends, inter alia, increased budgetary allocation to the health sector to enhance its contribution to the growth of Nigeria's economy. It also recommends creation of more investment opportunities and improvement on the welfare of the people.

Microfinance banking activities have become more complex since the outbreak of covid-19 pandemic ... more Microfinance banking activities have become more
complex since the outbreak of covid-19
pandemic and this has changed the mode of
banking practices, especially in the Microfinance Banks in
emerging business cities like Abuja. Therefore, this study is
to examine the effect of the covid-19 pandemic on selected
Microfinance Banks' effective service delivery in the FCT,
Abuja. Data was collected using the survey research
approach and structured questionnaires. Customers,
employees, and management from the chosen
Microfinance Banks in the FCT comprise the study's
population. The sample size for the research, 209, was
calculated by taking the population mean assuming that a Z
value corresponding to a 1% level of significance would be
2.58 and 0.56, respectively, for a real value of the population
mean. In the study, the mean values of the service delivery
activity indicators of microfinance banking were estimated
using the mean of the descriptive analysis and the SPSS. The
research found that the covid-19 epidemic has a negative
influence on microfinance bank customers' deposit rates in
the FCT, as well as a negative effect on microfinance bank
customers' loan application rates in the FCT. The study also
found that covid-19 pandemic has a negative effect on
microfinance banks' effective service delivery in the FCT.
Therefore, the study recommended that banks should
create more awareness of online banking transactions to
reduce customers staying longer hours in banks and that
banks should educate their customers on post-covid
business strategies for increased deposit rates, rate of loan
application and effective service delivery.

The result indicates that government expenditure on the agriculture sector significantly improves the performance of the sector in the period under review. This implies that spending policies of the government on the sector is yielding result as expected. However, commercial bank loan to the sector demonstrates weak positive influence on the agriculture sector output. FDI inflow on the other hand plays anti-growth role in the sector. Thus, the government is advice to adopt expansionary fiscal policy for the sector. The government is further advice to discourage the flow of FDI into the same sector to avoid the stagnation of the sector’s output. Government should mobilize local resources for the sector rather than foreign sources. Monetary policy towards the sector should be strengthened to improve the performance of the sector. Interest rate charged on loan for the purpose of ag...

Traditionally, these resources are classified as labour and capital. Therefore, we focus on the capital factor and its impact on economic growth. This study for the first time in Nigeria classifies the capital resources into two categories namely domestic and foreign capital and to compare their respective influence on economic growth. The results show that domestic capital is more influential in promoting the cause of economic growth whereas external debt as one of the components of foreign capital exerts serious level of threat to the course of economic expansion in Nigeria. Thus, this study recommends the need for the authority concern to look inward in resolving it economic challenges through domestic mobilization of resources. Sourcing for external capital should strictly take the form of FDI and foreign aids to augment the domestic capital for economic reasons with the view to expand the productive capacity of the economy.

The paper utilizes the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model by using variables of gross national product, diaspora remittance inflows, labor force, financial development, and trade openness. Results of the study have shown that diaspora remittances have a positive and significant impact on economic growth in Nigeria in the short run and long-run, however, its impact on growth was quite low for both periods. To improve the contributions of diaspora remittance, remittances should go beyond just transfer payments and social security to help family members and serve as investments to spur economic growth. Also, increasing labor force participation through job creation, improving working conditions to enhance productivity, and creating favorable financial environment to invest these funds is advocated. Additionally, international trade should be strengthened by shifting production from primary products such as crude oil and agricultural produce to secondary products such as refined petroleum and industrial products by revamping the industrial sector.
