Airline Services in Nigeria: An Empirical Analysis
(Medwells Journal, 2011) Oluwakoya, Adeniyi
The aftermath of deregulation and liberalisation of the Nigerian aviation sector reveals itself in increasing demand for airline services at the Nigerian air terminals. The non competitve regime is seemingly a corollary of policy intervention to induce growth in quodam public dominated subsector. Such impact will no doubt attract passenger services variance levels. Th methodology for this study use the primary data and the documentary searches which is the secondary data source, the hypothesis was tested using t-test, ANOVA and regression analysis to draw conclusion on the interaction of the variables of the independent and dependent variables of the airline services impacts. The study assesses the level of effectiveness, efficiency and reliability of the Nigerian air services providers in the light of the perspectives of the users of domestic airline services in the country as well as the socio-economic characteristics of the travelling passengers in the country. The study revealed that indeed the reforms in the aviation industry have led to enhanced services delivery by the airline operators in the Nigerian domestic terminal.
Assessment of the Flows of Passenger Movement at Nigeria International Terminal from 2007 to 2015
(Redeemer’s University Journal of Management and Social Sciences,, 2022) Oluwakoya, Adeniyi
This paper provides an assessment of the flows of passenger movement at the Nigeria International terminal between 2007-2015. The need to sustain flow across the various geopolitical zones encourages the establishment of the international terminal, which spans the geopolitical zone of the country; however, the characteristics and pattern of flow of these terminals are yet to be established. Therefore, this research provides the longitudinal dimension of assessment for ten years to examine the pattern of passenger flows and contribution to national development and cohesion. The methodology involves a longitudinal trend evaluation for ten years across the eight international terminals in the country. The data were analysed with descriptive statisics such as percentages. The study reveals variation inflows across the terminal as some recorded a spontaneous increase in the passenger flow pattern, while some were erratic and inconsistent for the years considered. The last pattern reveals a stagnant trend across the period. Generally, there were significant improvements in passenger flows. The most terminal in the study provides consistent benefits for the purpose of their establishment and contributes to Nigeria's national integration and national development.
An Assessment of the Geometric Growth of Railway Transport in Nigeria. A Literature-Based Study from 1970 and 2016
(Prace Komisji Geografii Komunikacji PTG, 2021-12) Oluwakoya, Adeniyi
Rail transport offers a huge benefit to Nigeria’s socio-economic activities because of its capacity to pull huge volumes of freight and convey large numbers of passengers. Despite these, commerce and socio-economic cohesion have been badly affected as road transport still dominates in overland transport. The revitalization of the rail mode towards economy recovery has suffered greatly since the 1970s. This study examines the spatiotemporal development of the railways in Nigeria. The methodology comprises longitudinal research design spanning over 30 years, from 1970 to 2016. The study reveals the spatiotemporal influence of rail transportation on the spatial development of localities and cities by attracting passengers, cargoes, and revenue receipts. The findings reveals also that rail transportation is experiencing a remarkable transition but has not attained the optimal level in rail development and performance across the country. Therefore more investment and better management are still needed.

Impact of E-Service Quality on Customer Satisfaction: A Study of Internet Banking for General and Maritime Services in Nigeria
(Journal of Financial Services Marketing, 2022-06) Oluwakoya, Adeniyi
Despite the increased availability and accessibility of the internet, many bank clients continue to queue in the bank. This enigma necessitates research on customers’ perceptions of the quality of internet banking services in relation to customer satisfaction. The study examined the relationship using the process and outcome theory of service quality. A sample of 280 internet banking clients of General and Maritime service firms responded to the survey. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed to evaluate the measurement model’s validity and reliability. To assess the importance of the link between the variables, structural equation modelling was used. Statistical research results show that the service quality measures (website quality, functional quality, recovery quality and security quality) are significantly associated with customer satisfaction, with functional quality having the highest impact. With respect to the dimensions, website ease of use has the highest weight among the three dimensions of website quality; reliability has the higher weight between the two dimensions of functional quality; compensation has the highest weight among the three dimensions of recovery quality while informational security has the higher weight between the two dimensions of security quality. The study’s findings will provide valuable information to bank managers and bank industry regulators to monitor internet banking service quality and improve customer satisfaction.

(Journal of Behavioural Studies, 2022) Oluwakoya, Adeniyi
The impact of third-party logistics providers will emphasise the pivotal distribution agents for manufacturing output. However, despite the importance of this role, it has hardly been investigated on its contributions. This study examines the influence of third-party logistics providers (3PL) on the physical distribution of manufactured products. The study uses a 3PL company named MDS logistics. One hundred returned questionnaires from the staff of Guinness Nigeria, using purposive sampling and a well-structured questionnaire. The hypothesis tested reveals a significant influence of third-party logistics providers on the physical distribution of manufactured products. The findings supported this hypothesis using the chi-square statistical tool (with a considerable level of 0.000). The study recommends the need for manufacturing firms to implement a unique distribution strategy (adoption of a third-party logistics provider) to achieve a significant competitive advantage and attain a desirable level of performance. Secondly, manufacturing firms should always embrace supply chain management to lower costs, grow the market and sales, and build strong relations with third-party logistics clients.

(Prace Komisji Geografii Przemysłu Polskiego Towarzystwa Geograficznego Studies of the Industrial Geography Commission of the Polish Geographical Society, 2021) Oluwakoya, Adeniyi
This paper examines the liberalisation and the regional air network configuration from Nigeria to other West African regions. It aims to study the impacts of liberalisation on the regional spatial structure of air networks from Nigeria to West Africa in the pre and post-liberalisation. The pre-liberalisation covers between 1988–2000, and the post-liberalisation ranges from 2001 to 2018. The methodology involves using the graph theory to calculate the route and the network topology in the pre and post-liberalisation and compare the resulting index. This hypothesis was tested using the alpha index. The alpha index analysis compares the level of connection in a pre-and post-liberalisation network via graphical depictions of each period’s route and network structure and the resulting alpha index. The pre-liberalisation alpha index for the route and network was 0.297, while the post-liberalisation alpha index was 0.334. The alpha index ranged from 0 to 1 and was the perfect network for the post‐liberalisation period. In post-liberalisation, the alpha index of the route and network are higher than in pre-liberalisation. Hence, the connection is better in post-liberalisation

Road Crashes and Crime Incidences as Factors Militating against Successful Utilization of Commercial Motorcycles as a Means of Public Transit
(Legal Text Publisher, 2011) Oluwakoya, Adeniyi
The relieve that the operations of commercial motorcyclists bring from the seemingly intractable traffic congestion and shortages Supply of transportation needs on most Nigerian intra-urban routes in the last two decades appears to be coming at great costs. The recent upsurge in crime rates and road crashes, which are arguably related to the operations of these commercial cyclists among other factors is a pointer to this assertion. The paper analyzed the socio-economic gains and losses directly attributable to the operation of these commercial cyclists in the Ibadan metropolis based on data collected from 120 respondents. Focus group discussion was equally held with The operators of these motorcycles. Regression analysis of study variables (location, sex, time of the day, age) revealed that these variables were not seen as determinants of becoming victims of crashes, whereas they are adjudged to be significant factors in becoming crime victims on commercial motorcycles. I was equally discovered that females, the very young and aged respondents were more vulnerable to criminal attacks on commercial motorcycle. Recommendations on effective management of the nation's intra urban traffic maintenance were subsequently made.
