    (Ilorin Journal of Business and Social Science, 2016-04-30) Ogundipe, Oluwaseun
    This study assessed the impact of privatization exercise in the power sector of the consumers in Nigeria. The study utilized the Pressure Activity State Impact Response (PASIR) network and theories of organic evolution of property rights to examine the impact of privatization on consumers. Both qualitative and quantitative techniques were used in analyzing the collected data. Focus Group Discussion was employed to analyze the effect of the reform of the power supply chain on consumers in 3 out of 11 newly constituted Distribution Companies (DISCO), these are Eko, Ikeja and Ibadan Distribution Companies. Similarly 200 respondents were purposively sampled in Mowe, a suburb of Lagos metropolis, from which 105 questionnaires were retrieved for analysis. Two hypotheses were tested in the study. The first, there is no significant difference in the flow of information, power supply and billing system between affluent and poor neighborhoods was supported by the findings (a p < .001). The second, ongoing privatization exercise has significantly improved the billing system, power supply, and information flow was also supported by the findings. The study recommends that the new managers should not place emphasis on economic factors only but also on noneconomic factors particularly information flow and equitable energy distribution

    Global trade agreements have fueled a positive drastic changes in cargo tonnage handled at the ports in most developing economies. Remarkably, in the case of Nigeria, the Tin Can Island Port has witnessed a significant rise in cargo, largely due to the reforms in port management in the country. In this regards, most related studies seems to be biased towards the developed economics. However, with the increasing threat of cargo spoilage and delay coupled with numerous issues relating to cargo handling at the Tin Can Island Port in Nigeria. This study seeks to examine both socio-economic and cargo handling characteristics at the Tin Can Island Port in Nigeria. The methodology involves both the qualitative and the quantitative methods. The data is analysed with descriptive and chi-square statistical analytical techniques. The study reveals that socio economic characteristics especially age of workers in cargo handling activities still influenced the capacity at the port. The study shows there is a significant relationship between perception of cargo traffic level and change in cargo handling procedure at the Tin Can Island port. In addition, it shows there is a significant relationship between policy adoption and cargo handling improvement at the port.

    Spatio-Temporal Patterns of Air Crashes in Nigeria between 1960 and 2012
    (Geojournal, 2020-05-30) Ogundipe, Oluwaseun
    Air transport is considered the safest among the modal transport options. Over the years the passenger travel by air has double necessitating stricter national and international regulatory frame work. In spite of the concerted efforts toward ensuring safety on the global scale, incidents of air crashes are still prevalent especially in the developing countries like Nigeria. The Nigerian aviation sector has suffered series of air mishaps since independence in 1960. This study seeks to examine the spatio- temporal pattern of air crashes in Nigeria. The methodology involves longitudinal research design covering over 30 years, from 1960 to 2012. These cut across many segments such as location, factor responsible for the crash, number of survivor, number of death, number of accident per year and number of carrier involved. The data is analysed with descriptive analytical techniques. The study reveals the classification of causal air crashes in Nigeria as human, mechanical, environmental and mixed themes. The study also reveals that the pattern of air crashes in Nigeria follows a cyclic pattern of occurrence over the years. The implication is that stability of the sector against accident is still far fetched. Therefore more

    Travel Behavior Characteristics in Nigeria’s Most Commercialized Urban Development: A Study of Eti-Osa Local Government, Lagos Nigeria
    (International Journal of Social Research, 2019-10-30) Ogundipe, Oluwaseun
    Globalisation has enhanced the rate of urbanisation and influenced the travel behaviour characteristics across the cities of the world. Remarkably, in the case of Nigeria, especially in the most commercialised local government area, the travel pattern seems erratic and unpredictable; problems associated with urban mobility include delay, traffic congestion, and chaotic trip pattern characteristics. In this regards, most related studies seems to be biased towards the developed economics urban metropolitan areas. Therefore this study intends to examine the travel behavior characteristics in Nigeria’s most commercialised local government area. The methodology involves both the qualitative and the quantitative methods. The data is analysed with descriptive, chi-square statistical and regression analytical techniques. The study reveals that socio-economic characteristics especially gender, and the female to be specific contributes more to the volume of trips in the study area than the men. In addition, it shows there is a significant relationship between the mode of transport and level of accessibility among the residents of policy.
