Audit Quality and Failure Risks of Listed Deposit Money Banks In Nigeria

Abstract The stability of the banking sector is fundamental to economic growth and financial system resilience, particularly in developing economies such as Nigeria. However, and sadly enough, global, recent and recurring failure risks and collapses of banks which have been blame...

Phytoremediation of Petrol-Contaminated Soil Using Ficus Racemosa L. Amended with Poultry Droppings

Petroleum hydrocarbon contamination of agricultural and peri-urban soils is a persistent problem in oil-producing regions of Nigeria, yet plant species evaluated for its phytoremediation remain narrow, dominated by grasses and a few leguminous species. This study evaluated the ph...

Hunger in the Oilfields: The Human Cost of Resource Extraction and Pathways for Sustainable Food Systems in Oil-Producing Communities of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria

The paradox of hunger amid abundant natural-resource wealth remains one of the most troubling development challenges confronting oil-producing communities in the Niger Delta of Nigeria. Although the region contributes substantially to Nigeria's petroleum economy, many host commun...
