The seeds of each species were collected from the central zone of plateau state, washed, sun dried for three days and finally crushed with mortar and pestle. One hundred grams (100 g) of each seeds were measured for oil extraction using n-hexane with soxhlet extractor for six hours. The percentage yield and moisture content of each oil extracted from seeds of each species were determined. The physicochemical properties for seeds were also carried out using Wijs method for Iodine value and Titration method for Acid value, Saponification value, Peroxide value and Free Fatty Acids. The results reveals that the moisture content ranges from 2.25 – 4.08 %, percentage yield 30 – 42.20 %, iodine value 78.32 – 98.04 gI2/g, acid value 2.06 – 4.44 %, saponification value 187.38 – 19...

This study analysed the adequacy of the basic science and technology test items used for the 2019 Basic Education Certificate Examination in terms of difficulty levels, discriminating powers, guessing, and distracter indices. The study adopted evaluation and descriptive survey research designs. A sample of 976 students was selected from 59 schools across Niger State for the study using a multistage random sampling procedure. A 60-item Basic Science and Technology test administered by the National Examinations Council for the 2019 BECE was used to collect data for the study. The item difficulty levels, discriminating powers, guessing, and distracter indices of the items were generated based on a four-parameter Item Response Theory model using Xcalibre software package. The items adequately satisfied unidimensionality and local independence, when statistically examined using confirmatory factor analysis and tetra-chronic correlation respectively. The findings revealed that all the items satisfied the difficulty, discrimination, distracter and guessing indices criteria to be used for the 2019 BECE. It was recommended among others that school proprietors and the government should endeavour to sponsor teachers to attend item generation workshops to be up-to-date with how to generate test items that meet the criteria for final examinations.

Esto ha hecho que su papel crecido exponencialmente reducir la brecha digital mediante el aprovisionamiento de recursos de informacion a traves de herramientas de Internet y otras instalaciones informaticas a sus usuarios. La cada vez mayor disponidad y el acceso a la informacion, tanto virtual como tradicionalmente como bibliotecas de carga con la funcion de aprovisionamiento de la igualdad de acceso a la informacion, para todos los miembros de las comunidades y su entorno, el valor de. alfabetizacion informacional es una habilidad esencial en el siglo xxi, que cada informacion y biblioteca profesionales deben adquirir en la asistencia a los grupos de usuarios / consumidores de informacion de la biblioteca para desarrollar y adquirir recursos de informacion pertinentes, qualittative para satisfacer sus necesidades de informacion, ya que estos no pueden lograrse ...

The disposal of these wastes could also lead to environmental problems if not done properly. This study has assessed the waste management practices in hospitals and compared same with international standards. A survey was carried out in six major hospitals in Jos metropolis. The findings indicated that these hospitals fell below the recommended waste management practices as prescribed by World Health Organization and other regulatory authorities. Wastes were not segregated, and were inappropriately disposed. The health workers were unaware of relevant regulations and the existence of a hospital waste management policy. Recommendations have been made for staff training to create awareness on wastes, their effects, importance of existing guidelines and the implementation of the waste management options for the different categories of wastes so ...

The data was collected fro m the 45 students because they have at least an account with one bank or the other in Akwa Ibo m State. The data collected were then analyzed using mu ltip le regression. Fro m the analysis, the study revealed that customer's satisfaction was positively correlated with all the variables except queuing time wh ich had a negative correlat ion, suggesting that bank customers would want pro mpt service delivery irrespective of how t ight the situation might be. Th is is in essence, a way of meeting their expectations, if their satisfaction must be guaranteed. Based on this, some reco mmendations were made for future research.

In Nigeria, the federal government, through the Presidential Task Force on the pandemic and some non-governmental organizations, mounted vigorous public enlightenment and education campaign through the media to contain the spread of the disease. Objective: This article examined the impact of that effort by assessing the level of public awareness, perception, and satisfac- tion the campaign generated. Method: A cross-sectional design and purpose sampling tech- nique were used for the study. Questionnaires were distributed online through personal and group platforms on Whatsapp and Telegram applications. This technique ensured that only the users of these applications responded to the questionnaire. The national survey returned 359 responses. Results: The results indicated a high level of public awareness from the media messages as 89.08% of respondents heard about COVID-19 from the media messages...
