This study examined supervisory strategies as correlates of quality education among secondary schools in Ibadan southwest local government area of Oyo State. Simple random sampling technique was used to select thirty schools (public and private) and three hundred respondents consisting of 200 teachers from public schools, 80 teachers from private schools and 20 supervisors from Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM).Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) was used to test the four hypotheses(P < 0.05) Multiple Regression was used to determine the contribution of independent variables (Supervisory strategies) both jointly and individually to dependent variable (quality education).Results revealed that two of the supervisory strategies (companionable and synergistic) have positive and significant correlation on quality education (r =0.853) and (r = 0.783) while authoritarian strategy had negative correlation, laissez faire had no significant relationship on quality education (r = -0.522 and r = -0.200)respectively. The joint contribution of the four supervisory strategies to the prediction of quality education in secondary schools was also significant (F (4,295) = 261.225).The paper concludes with some recommendations to the Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) and the Government. Key words and Phrase: Supervisory Roles, Quality Education, Supervisory Strategies.

Internal Control System (ICS) is the process by which private or public organization governs its activities for effective and efficient operations, reliability of her financial accountability and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. This paper investigated how the implementation of ICS has aided the performance, accountability, transparency and efficient management of resources in the public service in which Ibarapa East Local Government was used as a case study. It is a survey research design and both primary and secondary sources of data were explored. The data were gathered through questionnaire, interview, source document, official gazette, circulars and local magazine (The Ibarapa News), and from key stakeholders, government officials, employees and community representatives. The data were analysed using Descriptive Statistics, the Statistics Process Control (SPC) charts and the non-parametric test – the Chi-Square. Findings revealed that the administrative and accounting internal controls strategies were perceived as normal even with the non-autonomous status of all local governments in Nigeria and also well implemented in line with the council’s management culture and other elements of internal control processes. All the null hypotheses were rejected. The Chi-square X 2c = 23.045 > X 2t = 14.067; degree of freedom (df) being 7 and at 0.05 level of significant. All the control conditions on the Statistical Process Control (SPC) chart were at Upper Control Limit (UCL) except for the Risk Assessment and Exposure influenced by ethnic social problems of banditry and other crisis. The paper concluded that ICS has aided accountability of the Local Government through efficient and prudent resource management, transparent and financial integrity, internal and external audits, prevention of misappropriation of funds, enforcement and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, as well as risk management and mitigation. Ultimately, the study has contributed to the improvement of public sector performance, service delivery, and public trust in Ibarapa East Local Government in particular, Oyo State Local Government Service Commission in general. The study recommended that Ibarapa East Local Government should prioritize the strengthening of internal control mechanisms to enhance accountability by establishing clear lines of responsibility, providing adequate training to staff members, implementing regular internal and external audits, and fostering a culture of transparency, gender balance, and ethical behavior and quick report to resolve communal crisis.

Interdisciplinary Journal of Education Research 3, no. 1 (March 9, 2021): 37–44. http://dx.doi.org/10.51986/ijer-2021.vol3.01.04.
Full textAbstract:
The study assessed the member response rate to the Oyo state teaching service commission (TESCOM) interactive learning platforms during the COVID-19 lockdown in Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The sample comprised 3,388 respondents drawn from five online learning platforms (Arts, science, commercial, general and staffroom). Two instruments, Response Rate Factor Questionnaire-Survey monkey (r = 0.83) and participant online direct recording (π = 0.76), were used to collect data at three different intervals. Frequency counts and analysis of variance were used to analyse the data collected. Those online at the time of data collection were 59 (5.2%) for science, 23 (4.3%) for arts, 24 (6.4%) for commercial, 84 (7.4%) for general study and 96 (48.5%) in the staff room platform. A significant difference in member response rate was observed across the learning platforms [F(4,10) = 4.374; p= 0.027< 0.05]. Bonferroni post hoc analysis shown by mean plot revealed that general studies platform had the highest mean score (M=169.0) in terms of members response online followed by staffroom (M=79.0) and lastly commercial platform (M=32.67). It was deduced from the findings that members across the TESCOM interactive learning platforms do not respond online the same way by participating on the respective interactive platform to which they belong. Therefore, TESCOM should ensure that teachers and students actively engage in online learning platforms for better teaching and learning.

Full textAbstract:
Hypertension is a major public health challenge worldwide. It is the most important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Hypertension is noted pathological conditions that predispose individuals to cardiovascular diseases and burdens in Nigeria and Africa. Hence this study aimed to assess the gender difference in the prevalence and risk factors of hypertension among Oyo State civil servants at the Secretariat Clinic. Proper surveillance of morbidity of hypertension in the Oyo state labour workforce helped in assessing the health strength of the Oyo state labour force and also helped in the formulation of health policy targeted at management and enhancing the performance of civil servants in Oyo state. A descriptive cross-sectional study was employed for this study among civil servants in Oyo state Ministries using both quantitative and qualitative. The quantitative study involved the use of an improvised register during the routine service at the clinic and free health mission. Qualitative data was obtained from 20 selected key informants for exit interviews. Any civil servant who comes for any complaint shall be tested for hypertension reading. The trained record officer was used to collect and collate the data from the register. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22 was used to enter data and analyze using descriptive and inferential statistics. Ethical approval was received from the Oyo State Ministry of Health Ethical Review Committee. The outcome showed that the most prevalent form of hypertension was concluded to be the Stage 1 hypertensive form, making up 48.8% of females and 46.4% of males among the cases examined.

Full textAbstract:
Summary Over the years, provision of extension and advisory services has been the main thrust of both the public and private extension services in Nigeria. Meanwhile, the lead farmer extension approach has been deployed for cost effectiveness, broader reach and sustainability. The utility value of this approach needs to be empirically established. This study therefore examined the extent to which the approach has achieved the intended objectives among randomly sampled maize farmers in Iseyin and Saki-West Local Government Areas (LGAs). Interview schedule and focus group discussion among farmer groups were used for the study. Lead farmer extension approach was cost and time effective vis-a-vis the number of farmers reached and the achieved outcome. Almost 70% of the lead farmers encountered late arrivals and impatience from group members during step-down training activities while all of them complained of insufficient funds for refreshment. About 65% of the farmers engaged in selective adoption of the training items owing to various reasons. There was also a significant difference between the knowledge level of the lead farmers and their respective group members while the group members’ assessment of their respective lead farmers’ performance was high. The study concluded that this extension approach was effective and could serve to complement the efforts of extension workers in the state.

Full textAbstract:
Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, the need for telecommuting has enhanced the opportunities available to workers to perform their duties right from different locations outside their offices. Hence, the main objective of this study is to determine the extent to which telecommuting has enhanced public service delivery in Nigeria in the Covid-19 and Post Covid 19 era with specific reference to Judicial Service Commission in Ogun State. The article is anchored on both Technological, Organizational and Environmental (TOE) and Digital Era Governance Theory. The study adopted a descriptive-survey research design. A mixed method approach which comprises both qualitative and quantitative techniques was used. Data were sourced from Ogun State Judicial Service Commission through a structured questionnaire and interview while descriptive statistics such as frequency and tables were used in presenting the data, relevant hypotheses were tested using Chi-Square nonparametric technique of hypothesis testing. Qualitative data were content analysed. Secondary data were sourced from journals, articles, internet materials and among others. The finding of the study reveals that telecommuting enhanced public service delivery at the Judicial Service Commission since the outbreak of Covid-19 Pandemic and in the Post-Covid 19 era. Telecommuting contributed significantly in reducing the spread of Covid-19 virus in the Ogun State public service and the Judicial Service Commission in particular. The study also reveals that telecommuting system does not enhance the efficiency of workers in the public service with reference to Ogun State Judicial Service Commission. On the basis of the findings of the study, it concludes that telecommuting has been found to be an effective strategy that Government at all levels in Nigeria can employ in public service to prevent a disruption in socio economic activities whenever there is an outbreak of epidemic like Covid 19 pandemic in the country. The study recommends that there should be deliberate policy by the government at all levels to encourage Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to be technological compliant and to promote the use of telecommuting so as to engender efficient public service delivery.

Full textAbstract:
This study assesses the utilisation of school health services in Ibadan North-West Local Government Area, Oyo State, Nigeria, with implications for primary healthcare among school children and the prevention of early-life preventable diseases. The research objectives include determining the level of school health service utilisation among secondary students in public and private schools, investigating barriers affecting utilisation, and examining the association between school type and service utilisation. A descriptive cross-sectional research design was employed, sampling 300 students aged 10-19 from a population of 37,396 in Ibadan North-West Local Government Area. The study utilized a multi-stage sampling procedure and a self-structured questionnaire with sections on socio-demographic characteristics, utilisation assessment, and barriers. The instrument's validity was established through content and face validity procedures. Results indicate a higher utilisation of school health services in private schools compared to public schools, highlighting a deficit in human and material resources for qualitative school health programs. Weak collaboration between the health and education sectors was detected, contributing to suboptimal standards and dissatisfaction among beneficiaries. Factors such as logistical challenges and changing living areas were identified as potential contributors to poor health program implementation. Recommendations include intensified efforts by school management boards to ensure service utilisation, the creation and maintenance of healthy school environments, and increased family involvement in school health service policies.

Full textAbstract:
Rural Yoruba and Fulani residents of two local governments in Oyo State, Nigeria, were surveyed to determine differences in health-seeking behaviour. Fulani residents were more likely to use private facilities during a recent illness, while Yoruba residents more commonly used government facilities: a fact reflected in the overall attitudes of those surveyed. The need for greater outreach and involvement of minority populations is recommended to enhance public service utilization.

Full textAbstract:
The study assessed the impact of user fees on demand for health care facilities, and examined the relationship between quality of service and utilization of modern health facilities in the country. The data were collected from 388 individuals ill 1999 from the five health zones ill Oyo State. To analyse the determinants of health facility utilization, information was elicited on individuals’ choice of health care Treatment. Using the Multinomial logit model and analysing with the revealed preference principle that permits the nature of consumers’ preferences to be deduced from observed choices, the results revealed user fees, gender, and distance as significant determinants of demand for health facilities and indicated the clear preference of respondents for private health care providers over public health providers. The policy implications emanating from the study suggest that the distance of public health facilities from patients and waiting Time need to be reduced to increase the rate of utilization. This call be done by government providing more health facilities in all local government areas and these should be within the reach of household members.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose: The study assessed the existence and implementation of the internal control system mechanisms of three purposively selected state governments in southwestern Nigeria.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. Primary data were obtained through a structured questionnaire administered to 450 staff members of both the Accountant General and Auditor General of the three southwestern states which include Lagos, Oyo and Ondo states. The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations Treadway Commission (COSO) framework is used to assess the existence and extent of implementation of internal control system mechanisms in the states. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data obtained.
Findings: The results showed that control environment (36.6%), risk assessment (42.7%), control activities (37.9%) and information and communication (39%) were moderately in existence but not fully implemented because the percentage fell below average while monitoring (38.7%) was highly implemented among the selected state governments in southwestern Nigeria.
Conclusion: The study found that state governments have internal control systems in place but they are not completely operational. Hence, mitigants against financial fraud, errors and misapplication of public funds are weak.
Research Limitations and Implementation: The sample of the study could be expanded to include more states in other geopolitical zones of the country.
Practical Implications: The study proposed strict adherence to all the elements and contents of the COSO framework in the design, set up and implementation of internal control mechanisms in public sector entities.
