Item Consumer Preference of the Powdered Egg in Ilorin Metropolis(Ilorin Journal of Mrketing, 2021) Ayinde, O. E.; Adetayo, S. O.; Akanbi, S. O.Item Creativity and Innovation in Entrepreneurship, Contemporary Entrepreneurship,(Technical and Entrepreneurship Centre, University of Ilorin., 2015) Aun, I. I.; Akanbi, S. O.Creativity is a process by which a symbolic domain in the culture is changed. New songs, new ideas, new machines are what creativity is about Mihaly(1997). Creativity is the ability to make or otherwise bring into existences something new, whether a new solution to a problem, a new method or device, or a new artistic object or form. Wyckoff (1991) defines creativity as new and useful. Creativity is the act of seeing things that everyone around us sees while making connections that no one else has made. Creativity is moving from the known to the unknown. Culture exerts a negative force on creativity according to Pearce (1974), however, “were it not for creativity, culture itself would not be created.” No entrepreneur or enterprise, however successful and big, can continue to hold a place of leadership unless it recognizes that modern business operates in a world of galloping change which creates new problems, risk and opportunities and for which they have to mobilize the enterprise’s resources before changes make their impact felt. To do successfully, the entrepreneur and enterprise should know where this firm is going and how the firm will get there. This is turn requires a clear definition of the company’s business which will enable it to continually adopt operations to the realities of the market place, ‘the very corner stone of survival and growth” Innovation is defined as adding something new to an existing product or process. The key words are adding and existing. The product or process has already been created from scratch and has worked reasonably well. When it is changed so that it works better or fulfils a different need, then there is innovation on what already exists. Innovation is the successful exploitation of new ideas.Item Forest Conservation Choices among Arable Farm Households in the Forest Zone: Evidence from Oyo State Nigeria(Euro Asia 9th International Conference on Applied Sciences, 2021-08-11) Akanbi, S. O.; Jatto, K. A.Item Perception of Government intervention and constraints in cultured fish production in Kwara State, Nigeria(Nasarawa State University, Nasarawa., 2016) Akanbi, S. O.; Muhammad-Lawal, AThis study examined the perception of government intervention by cultured fish farmers, and as well, the constraints faced by cultured fish farmers in Kwara State where there is an upsurge in the number of new entrants into the cultured fish business. Data used for this study were collected over one production cycle in 2012. A total of total 63 respondents were drawn through random sampling technique from a sampling frame of 121 registered cultured fish farmers. Analytical tools used for the study were descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, Likert-type scale. The results from the State’s government’s support showed that 32.8% and 23.8% of the sampled fish farmers were assisted with provision of fingerlings and formal credit respectively; subsidized feed-inputs and extension services were received by 46% and 68.3% of respondents respectively. The study further revealed that there was a significant relationship between fish output and government intervention strategies (p<0.05). Consequently, the production of cultured fish can considerably be improved in the study area if the government can substantially increase the fish farmers’ access to formal credit to a new level which should be comparatively close to that currently being enjoyed by crop farmers under the Kwara State demand-driven off-takers crop farming scheme. Government should create a support system by establishing of a number of one-stop shops at convenient locations, so that farmers can easily access fish inputs and the services of more efficient extension workers in the study area.
