Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. 5,716 were considered as the target population from which a sample size of 361 respondents was selected through multi-stage sampling procedure. A self-developed questionnaire was used for data collection.

K.; Abdulwahab, R.; Habibu, I.Y.This study examined community mobilization towards addressing orphans and vulnerable children phenomenon in Nigeria. Three research questions were raised and one null hypothesis was tested to guide the study. A descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. 6,774,331wasconsidered as the target populations. A sample size of 480 respondents selected was across the six geopolitical zone of Nigeria. A multi-stage sampling procedure consisting of stratified sampling, simple random sampling and purposive sampling technique was used. A self-developed questionnaire and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) were used for data collection. The reliability test of the instruments was done using test retest technique and a co-efficient 0.87 was obtained. The administration of the instrument was done by the researchers and five field research assistants. The data collected were analyzed using frequency count, percentages, mean and Pearson Product Moment Correlation. Hypothesis formulated was tested at 0.05 level of significance. One of the findings revealed that the needs of OVC have not been adequately met. It was therefore, recommended that community members should pool their resources and ideas to carter for them especially in providing access to health, education and welfare services. In addition, global partnership among stakeholders particularly the civil societies should be sought and pursued.Item Cooperate Social Responsibility of Airtel Nigeria towards Youths Empowerment and well-being of people in Lagos Metropolis, Lagos State, Nigeria.(Journal of Educational Thought.

An Official Journal of Department of Psychology & Education, University of Education, Winneba, Ghana., 2019-12-15) Ambali, T.T; Fajonyomi, A.A.; Fajonyomi, M.G.; Abdullahi, A.K.This study examined the factors that influenced female participation in university education and identified factors that could be monitored and manipulated to enhance participation. The data collected to determine female participation consisted of students proportion admitted into various courses of study in Nigerian universities over four years while those used for regression analysis were collated by states and the FCT. The results of the analyses revealed that female participation rate in university education, based on year, ranged from 44.3% to 46.5% and on the basis of course of study, it oscillated between 13.9% for engineering, technology and environment courses and 56.6% for education. Also, the seven independent variables explained 94.5% of variance in female participation in university education. The results of the study suggest the need to recognize the complexities and range of supports required to enhance female participation in university education and by extension to reduce gender inequalities common in education, politics, and governance and generally in the society. It is recommended among others there is need for policies that will induce more collaboration and interaction among various organs and agencies within and outside the university, particularly those that would ensure inclusiveness of university education and guarantee sustainable development.Item In-building Adult Education into conflict prevention strategy in Africa: Derivable of warning signs(African Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies, 2018-06-05) Fajonyomi, A.A; Fajonyomi, M.G; Ambali, T.TRestoration of peace after a prolonged conflict seems arduous, if not impossible, in conflict-riddled states in Africa. Often, it appears resolved only to reoccur and at times escalate to greater dimension. Thus, peace tends to be elusive as insecurities and crises pervade the region. More, it appears solutions workable in other situations and regions of the world are not applicable in Africa and conversely suggesting that other innovative approaches should be considered and tried. This paper proposes a complementary strategy to address intractable problems of insecurity and conflict in the region. It is a theoretical paper which reflects a common parlance that ‘prevention is better than cure’. The paper has five sections. First, it revisits and discusses conflicts in the region which are in varying dimensions, from boundary disputes, cattle rustlings, insurgencies, religious bigotries, xenophobic attacks to terrorisms. These incidences have untold effect on national and regional development. Second, the paper highlights warning signs which are indicators of national or regional vulnerability to conflict eruption and bases for the content, delivery mode and evaluation of the proposed adult education integrated strategy-ICPAES. Third, a frame of reference that shows links among the components of the strategy is presented and described. Fourth, the paper highlights roles of universities in the implementation of the strategy. Finally, the conclusion is presented.Item Relationship between Economic Status of members of Community Based Associations and their level of Participation in Development Projects in Kwara State, Nigeria(Centre Point Journal Humanities Edition. Library and Publications Committee, University of Ilorin, Ilorin,Nigeria., 2015-07-18) Ambali, T.T; Fajonyomi, A.AThis study determined the relationship between economic status of members of Community Based Associations (CBAs) and their level of participation in development projects in Kwara state, Nigeria. The following three objectives were raised: the level of participation of members of CBAs in development projects in Kwara state; the relationship between economic factor and the level of participation; and which variables of economic status explain variation in the level of participation. One research question was answered and two hypotheses were tested. The study used survey as well as correlation research designs. The population of the study was 15,000 members of 496 CBAs in Kwara State but only 1170 were selected as sample for the purpose of the study while 1008 respondents who completed the instrument adequately were used for the analysis. The sample was selected using multi-stage sampling technique. An instrument tagged “Economic Status and Participation Questionnaire” (ESPQ) was used to collect the data analysed. The instrument was validated and tested for reliability using odd-even reliability technique. A reliability coefficient of 0.761 obtained was found to be statistically significant at P<0.05. Descriptive statistics of frequency counts, percentages and weighted scores were used in answering the research question. Multiple correlation analysis and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to test the hypotheses. All decisions were taken at probability level of 0.05. First, the study found that the level of participation was 2.62 (52.4%) on a scale of 5 which was considered to be high. Second, the relationship between economic status and level of participation was statistically significant at F (5,1002) = 23.422. Third, the variables of the economic status explained 10.5 percent of the variation in the level of participation with employment, access to water and transportation making statistically significant contributions. Based on the findings, it was recommended that enabling environment should be created for members to be employed.
