Item Assessment of the Effect of Sustainable Education Infrastructure Conditions on Student's Performance in Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria(Department of Education, School of Continuing Education, Bayer University, Kano, 2020-01) Adeogun, Adekunle Sunday; Salihu, Nasiru; Olabisi, Sulaiman Adesoji; Agava, Yusuf HalimSubstantial indicator of the conducive and quality environment for learning is education infrastructure and it creates standing-points for students' proper understanding and perfect learning experience. This paper therefore evaluates the relationship between sustainable education infrastructure conditions and students' performance in Ilorin with particular focus on secondary schools in four Neighbourhoods; Adewole Housing Estate locality, GRA Neighbourhood, Fate-Basin and Sabo-Oke neighbourhoods of Ilorin metropolis. Data was collected through the structured questionnaire and simple descriptive mean statistical method was adopted to determine the standard deviation as well as coefficient of variation. Ranking method was used to determine education infrastructure condition index using benchmark for minimum acceptable ideal condition. Spearman Rank Order Correlation was adopted to test the level of the significant of school infrastructure on students' performance. The study revealed that, the performance rate of students in Adewole Housing Estate and GRA Secondary schools were rated high 54% and 62% respectively, while most students in secondary schools in Fate-Basin, Sabo-Oke neighbourhoods poorly performed with 22% and 27% respectively. The education infrastructure condition indices in Adewole Housing Estate and GRA is higher than ideal condition index and is better than other selected locations, and it was recommended that adequate provision can be achieved public private partnership (PPP) arrangement and proper management maintenance should be on board in order to enhance students' better performance.Item ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECTS OF SUSTAINABLE EDUCATION INFRASTRUCTURE CONDITIONS ON STUDENTS' PERFORMANCE IN ILORIN, KWARA STATE, NIGERIA(Department of Education, School of Continuing Education, Bayero University Kano, 2020-01) Adeogun, Adekunle Sunday; Salihu, Nasiru; Olabisi, Sulaiman Adesoji; Agava, Yusuf HalimSubstantial indicator of the conducive and quality environment for learning is education infrastructure and it creates standing-points for students’ proper understanding and perfect learning experience.

Demand for the properties in residential property market seems to be increasing in Ilorin metropolis in view of the growing population arising from the influx of more people from other parts of the country because of the peaceful nature of the city. It was observed that tenancy determination was on the increase as most landlords were desirous of obtaining maximum rents from their tenants by regular rent review among other factors, which had led to high tenant turnover. This study examined the trend of tenancy determination in residential property market of Ilorin metropolis with a view to providing a guidance to the property managers and investors, and providing the basis for property management decisions. Total enumeration survey (100%) was adopted by administering questionnaire on the 22 practicing estate surveying firms in the study area. Information gathered was analysed using both frequency tabulation and trend analysis. The result of analysis showed that there was increasing trend of tenancy determination from 151 terminations in 2007 to 481 in 2016. This paper concluded that tenancy determination affected all categories of residential property although the low income rental properties were more vulnerable. This may discourage specific investors/landlords. It therefore called for a pragmatic management style and policy to stem down the increasing trend of tenancy determination.Item An Evaluation of the Appropriateness of Methods of Valuing Residential Properties in Sub-Urban Areas of Ondo State, Nigeria(Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria, 2019-11) Alimi, Rasheed Kolawole; Ayedun, Caleb Abiodun; Bello, Nurudeen Akinsola; Agava, Yusuf HalimThe study examined the approaches often adopted for the valuation of rural residential properties of Nigeria using Ugbe and Arigidi Akoko areas of Ondo State, Nigeria as the case study. The study was set out to determine which of the method(s) of valuation is the most appropriate for valuing residential properties in rural areas in the developing economy such as Nigeria. To achieve the aim of the study, the physical inspections of two residential properties were carried out, one in Arigidi Akoko and Ugbe Akoko in Ondo State. The data collected via the inspections were used in calculating the values using different methods. The study reveals that of all the methods of valuation, investment method is the most appropriate because the value derived is a function of the rent. Comparative method is inappropriate because property rarely changes hand in the rural areas while the cost method jack up property values to a level that the market cannot support. The figure of years purchase which is a multiplier is difficult to calculate because the yield which determines the years purchase is a function of analysis of sales transaction which is rare. There is little difference in construction cost in rural and urban areas whereas values between the two show wide disparity. The study recommends even distribution of projects by governments, organisations, religious bodies etc. Development projects act as catalyst which speeds up the rate of development which brings about influx of people thereby resulting in upward movement of rent and property values.

The uncoordinated spread of informal activity in Minna has continued unabated, due to high population of people trooping to Minna as a result of its closeness to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). This paper examined the effect of the informal activities on neighbourhood road network in Minna, Niger State. Primary and secondary data were employed for the study, primary data were generated from residents of the areas and operators of informal activities within the neighbourhood selected, while the secondary data were sourced using the report from the Niger State Urban Development Board. Systematic random sampling technique was used in the selection of 175 respondents and descriptive statistical method of analysis was employed. The Google-Earth map of the area was digitalised using GIS method to determine the extent of encroachment on road setbacks and right of way. The result shows that most of the structures along highway corridor have been converted to commercial for informal activities use and the open spaces and vacant plots converted also, for various informal activities, such as, viewing centres which occupies 9%, car wash centres 5%; automobile mechanic workshop 9%; motor-bicycle and tricycle mechanic workshop 7%; game houses 6%. The study concluded that, the present pattern of development, especially along the major road in selected areas have negated the basic principles of smart city on the integration and communication route network within the city without optimising the efficiency of city operation and infrastructure and other services. The study recommended the monitoring of informal activities so as to reduce the rate of nuisance and decay development caused by informal activities.Item EXAMINING THE IMPACT OF INFORMAL ACTIVITIES ON URBAN ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE IN MINNA, NIGERIA(Journal of Geomatics and Environmental Research (JOGER), University of Ilorin, 2020-06-01) Adeogun, Adekunle Sunday; Idowu, Olusegun Owoeye; Durosinmi, Wasiu Abayomi; Agava, Yusuf Halim; Iroh, EmmanuelMajor concern of urban decision makers is allocation of space for an informal sector economy, this is because the effect of its activity on available infrastructure especially road network infrastructure.

This study examined the infrastructure condition model; which serves as a measure of property investment returns in Ilorin; the Kwara State capital. The study employed an exploratory research design. The sample frame was 1,228 and a model was used given 984 as sample size, and these questionnaires were administered through stratified sampling technique and only 664 questionnaires were completed and returned, representing 67% of the total sample size. The study utilised both descriptive and inferential statistical methods of data analysis. The result of descriptive analysis of the performance of property investment revealed that a comparable average return across the study areas in Ilorin differed; ranging from 10% to 25%. The result of the infrastructure condition index developed through the scoring analysis based on descriptive modelling revealed a relative condition index of between 60% and 61% in Ilorin. The result of an inferential method using correlation to establish the relationship between infrastructure condition index and property investment return revealed that 7(seven) infrastructure maintained perfect significant correlation with property investment performance at p-value less than 0.05 level of significance. The result of regression modelling revealed that 60.4% variation in property performance is explained by seven infrastructures. Therefore, the study concluded that the performance of property investment is impressive in the areas where there is a frequent market transaction with better infrastructure conditions which is strongly influenced by constant potable water with a correct system of road networks, security, drainage system and streetlight. The study recommends that real estate investors wishing to embark on real estate investment projects should make it a point of duty to be conversant with the functionality of infrastructure in human sustainability and real estate investment growth.

Quantitative primary and secondary data were gathered for the study. Structured questionnaire was administered on 420 investment-properties available in the portfolios of practicing Estate Surveying Firms (ESFs) in the study area. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were adopted for data analyses with mean, growth rate, standard deviation, correlation and regression coefficients. The result showed a constant yield range for the study area, but variations in the return, risk and return/risk among the property-types and a mixture of negative and positive relationships between/among the property-types. The result further showed that returns on most property-types do not correspond with their risks and detached house with boy’s quarter exhibits an out-performance over all other property-types. However, in relation to the economy, property-return exhibits a strong negative relationship with the currency exchange rate and a weak negative relationship with interest rate, but none of the macroeconomic variables statistically explain or drive return on the property. This study contributed to the literature on Nigeria property-investment analysis by providing guiding information for a better knowledge of the Abuja property market dynamics that can enhance decision making of investors towards an improved market rewards analysis. Despite the observed variations in the return characteristics in the study area, an appropriate mix of property-types can still bring about improved performance benefit to the investors. The study is beneficial to investors through reduction in the wide gap between investment expectation and actualization through appropriate and specific investment prescriptions. The notable variation between the yield and return on property suggests that investors cannot rely solely on the yield of an investment analysis as their investment guide, rather they should extend to the reward characteristics. This is one of the few studies on Abuja direct property market reward analysis on propertytype approach that explored the sensitivity of property return to the Nigeria economy.
