Travels and Tourism Promotions: Towards a New Dimension to National Development in Nigeria
(Global Journal of Social Sciences, 2011) Oluwakoya, Adeniyi
Travels and Tourism impacts to economic and National Development cannot be overstated. This role has long been recognized by the developed countries which have harnessed the intrinsic development potentials to evolve economic prosperity and infrastructural development. However, the developing countries and to be specific, Nigeria, in spite of being naturally endowed with menagerie of travels and tourism products is yet to tap into the development of this industry for the bouleversement of the economy and engender national development. This study examines the development of travel and tourism to bring about economic growth, infrastructural development, increased revenue and increased tourist arrival especially for the developing countries and specifically Nigeria. The methodology used for this study is documentary searches, which entails search of existing published and unpublished documents and databases of stakeholders in Nigerian travels and tourism sub-sector and external sources with affinity with the international organizations such as WTTC, UNWTO and etc. The study revealed that genuine national development is feasible for the country in the 21st century if there can be a corresponding development and promotion of the Nigerian travels and tourism industry
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.

The Socio-Economc Impact of Crisis and Militancy on Tourism Destination Development in Niger-Delta
(Asian Journal of Management Sciences and Education, 2012) Ajayi, Adeyinka
The Niger-delta region in Nigeria is arguably one of the most naturally endowed location on the African continent, apart from having one of the largest crude oil and gas deposits; it is also blessed with scenic canopy of untainted mangrove forest, innumerable supply of aquatic life stock and rich and diverse cultural heritage of its teeming populace. Development of world class tourist destinations in the region has however remained a mirage due to the incessant crisis and militarization of the region between various ethnic militia who are agitating for environmental friendly oil exploration techniques ( including share of oil wealth) and Nigeria armed forces. The study used primary and secondary data, the primary data were collected through a questionnaire survey of 100 respondents in Akassa region, secondary data were records of tourists visitation to various sites between 2003 and 2009 obtained from the data base of Akassa Development Association(ADA), one-sample t-test was used to analyzed the perception of the respondents on the effect of the crisis on the socio-economic development of the region and its tourism potentials, The one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) also revealed that there was a significant variation in tourists in-flow to the region in the period considered. The paper emphasized the need for concerted efforts that will discourage tension and outbreak of crisis in the region by all stakeholders.
Areal Differentiation in Crime in Public Transit Terminals in Ibadan Metropolis
(Journal of Transportation Security, 2012) Ajayi, Adeyinka
The unprecedented rate of urbanization in the twentieth and twenty- first century in most less developed countries (LDC) is coming at a huge cost to cities in these countries chief among which are distorted morphologies, dysfunctional infrastructural system and ever-increasing crime rate, In Ibadan metropolis one of the infrastructure that has been subject of this systemic abuse are the public transit terminals, this study analyses the incidences of crime,the spatial pattern of their occurrences and the nature of crime which are prevalent in and around major road transit terminals, statistical records of crime incidences and data on crime experiences of two hundred and fifty respondents were analyzed statistically and descriptively, the findings revealed that crime rate, the nature and pattern of occurrence varied spatially within the metropolitan parks, recommendations on how best to safe-guard the parks are subsequently made
Trend Analysis of Crime Incidences and Crime Vulnerability Differentials on Urban Transport Facilities in Ibadan
(Journal of Intelligent Transportation and Urban Planning, 2014) Ajayi, Adeyinka
There is a noticeable increment in the rate of criminal attacks on transport facilities globally and some evidences of such abound in Nigeria, a most worrisome trend is that most criminals are increasingly finding passengers veritable targets for criminal acts. In this study, the temporal pattern of crime incidences across five selected bus stops and the variables that may likely determine the chances of becoming crime victims in Ibadan were analyzed. Crime records for six years (2003-2008) were statistically and descriptively analyzed alongside primary data obtained through a questionnaire survey of 250 respondents, who were frequent users of these terminals. The result validated the established findings that frequencies and concentration of criminal acts usually significantly differs temporally and spatially. It was equally revealed that criminals seemingly target the more vulnerable groups as victims as the females (of all age groups) bore the brunt of most attacks. It is also discernible from the study that site selection processes for the choice of bus stop within the public transit system is subjective and can aid their emergence as crime ‘hot spots’.

Analytical Study of Supply Chain Collaboration Guiding Forestry Products Supply in a Developing Economy
(Int. J. Business Performance and Supply Chain Modelling, 2016) Ajayi, Adeyinka
This research is an empirical assessment of wood products supply chain in a developing economy using Bodija wood market in Ibadan, Nigeria as case study. The study examined the nature of supply chain collaboration employed by the operators to achieve their business objectives and the roles played by extant government rules guiding SC of wood products. The study is based on a randomly selected set of 147 constituents of the SC. Two hypotheses were tested in the study, evidence from the study shows that supply chain relationship is positively influenced by reduction in operational costs and higher levels of customer’s relationship. Further analysis shows that extant governmental policies have significant influence on supply chain performance (SCP) .Policies on taxation, and forest management techniques have strong influence on achievement of benefits of the chain. The paper suggests tangible business and policy measures for the development of wood products SC in Nigeria.
Analysis of the Privatization Exercise of Power Supply Chain in South West Nigeria
(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
An Empirical Analysis of Pre and Post Initial Public Offering (IPO) Performance
(International Journal of Current Research, 2016-05-17) Irinyemi, Ademola
This study investigates the impact of pre and post Initial Public Offering (IPO) Performance on selected firms. The data analysis ranges from 1 to 300 observations within a model specification framework on a Multivariate methodology. Two models were formulated to carry out the analysis on an Eview7 statistical package. The objective was to find out the position of the selected firms before and after IPO has been initiated and do a comparative analysis. From the analysis, Model two was seen as the best model to carry out a research of this nature because the independent variables such as age of company, total asset, ownership concentration, CEO stockholdings, average return on capital employed and the industry in which the company operates are regarded as the factors that influences IPO performance. The result shows that all the variables are positive showing a direct relation with IPOR. The coefficient of determination shows 52.9% indicating that the model is good fit and the Fstatistics of 54.8558 shows that all the variables in the model are statistically significant. However, the Durbin Watson statistics shows the presence of positive serial correlation. The study therefore recommend that firms should uphold the principles of good corporate governance and also ensure they disclose relevant information to the public in terms of CEO stockholdings in the company so as to build public confidence and to create and maintain good business imag
Assessment of the Influence of Lagos Bus Rapid Transit Scheme (BRT-Lite) on Road Traffic Crashes (RTC) on Lagos Mainland-Island Corridor
(The Open Transportation Journal, 2017) Ajayi, Adeyinka
Background: This paper filled an important gap in the on-going global assessment of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) operations on Road Traffic Crashes (RTC) safety outcomes on corridors plied. Introduction: The work carried out a scientific investigation of the impact of Lagos BRT-Lite(Africa’s first and only BRT scheme) on the achievement of a possible reduction in the incidences of RTC on the 22-kilometer radial highway that connects Mile12 and Lagos Island the traditional central business district. Methodology: Secondary data on the incidences of RTC on the corridor between 2002 and 2013 were obtained from Nigeria Police. One-way Analysis of variance between subjects revealed that the advent of BRT operations on the corridor do not have any significant effect in the reported cases of the three categories of RTC examined. Minor (p=. 783), Serious (p= .887) and Fatal (p= .826). Data Analysis: Descriptive statistics, however, showed that there has been a general reduction in the incidences of all categories of RTC considered in the period after the commencement of BRT on the corridor. Conclusion: The paper concludes by positing that while it might be far-fetched to imply a direct causal relationship between the introduction of BRT and reduction in the cases of RTC on the corridor, it may not be far to suggest that it has definitely impacted safety outcomes as it relates to RTC.

(African Journal of Economics and Sustainable Development, 2018-12-12) Ogundipe, Oluwaseun
The Nigeria’s shipping sector is estimated to be capable of generating above 5trillion naira annually but the sector has been totally neglected. To make the sector effective and harness revenue from this sector, there will be an overhaul of policy, institutional, regulatory and legal framework. This study therefore, empirically investigates the impact of an effective shipping policy instrument on the development of the Maritime sector in Nigeria. Data were collated in Lagos, Nigeria through a structured questionnaires administered to stakeholders of the maritime sector in Nigeria. The method of analysis used in the study is a simple non-parametric (chi-square test) statistical method. From the method of analysis, the study found out that an effective shipping policy affect the development of the maritime sector in Nigeria. The study therefore recommends the enactment of a new national shipping policy to effectively support the Nigeria’s shipping policy dates back to 1987 when the Nigerian shipping policy act no.10 of 1987 was enacted following Nigeria ratification of the United Nations Code on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) so as to make shipping policy instruments have an impact on the development of the Maritime sector in Nigeria, which will invariably aid Nigeria economic growth.
