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.
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
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.

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.
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.

(Journal of Behavioural Studies, 2022) Oluwakoya, Adeniyi
The Covid-19 incidents have brought to the fore the freight agglomeration as more need to satisfy the demand of people staying home due to restrictions. This development increases the potential of the airfreight system as the assistance for economic sustenance amid the pandemic. However, the extant problems bedevilling the airfreight management system in Nigeria persist even as the advantages during the pandemic try to override the inherent difficulties. This study seeks to examine the various challenges in the light of reformed behavioural insight and disposition among the various stakeholders in the Nigerian airfreight system. The methodology involves an archival tenet of behavioural adoption into sectorial system building and enhancement for effective and efficient service delivery. The study suggests a total of behavioural overhauling among the stakeholders in the Nigerian airfreight system. It opines a more behavioural consideration since behavioural relationship and engagement take a more intense involvement in the airfreight transaction in Nigeria.

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

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.
Importance of Port-Supply Chain Integration in enhancing Manufacturing Capacity Utilisation (MCU) in Nigeria
(Journal of Economics and Allied Research, 2023-12) Ajayi, Adeyinka
The utilisation of manufacturing capacity at 57% holds significant implications for Nigerian consumers. This paper explores the impact of integrating port supply chains on manufacturing capacity utilisation in Lagos and Ogun States, Nigeria. Secondary sources were employed to collect data on container port throughput (PT) and manufacturing capacity utilisation (MCU) from the Nigerian Port Authority and the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria between 2014 and 2021. The study reveals a positive relationship between Tin Can Port PT and Food and Beverages MCU, indicating that a unit change in Tin Can Island port throughput results in a 35.4% increase in manufacturing capacity utilisation. Conversely, a percentage change in Apapa port throughput only leads to a 0.08% increase in manufacturing capacity utilisation. The findings suggest that port supply chain integration can enhance MCU, provided the policy is tailored to specific ports. The study emphasises the pivotal role of effective policies in boosting Nigeria's manufacturing capacity utilisation, particularly in the food and beverages sector.
