    (BELLS UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY JOURNAL OF MANAGEMENT SCIENCES (BUTJMS ) A Bi-annual Publication of College of Management Sciences Bells University of Technology, Ota., 2021-10-27) Fatimat Y. Jamiu; Issa Abdulraheem; Abu Zekeri
    Just like any other organisation, the employees of tertiary institutions in Nigeria and stakeholders are enmeshed with one conflict or the other, over the years, business organisations have devoted a greater part of their economic time and efforts towards mediation and settlement of disputes arising from arguments amongst employees and stakeholders. These crises have for decade persisted due to inadequate funding, welfare packages, emoluments, reward and other sundry issues which hinders the level of production hence, posing a negative challenge to industry and economic growth of an organization. This study, therefore, examined the effect of accommodation strategy on employees’ commitment at the federal polytechnic Offa, in Kwara State, Nigeria. The study adopted a qualitative method using thematic analysis to analyse interviewed responses from five (5) senior members of staff, before the actual interview, a pilot test was carried out via respondent validity. The study explored the extent to which accommodation strategy has a positive effect on employees’ commitment to better performance. The study, therefore, recommended that organisations should as a matter of necessity work towards accommodating various forms of opinions and demands from both the members of staff, labour unions and other stakeholders to get the desired level of commitment from employees. In conclusion, investigating and proffering solutions to all forms of disputes enhances the performance of tertiary institutions in Kwara State, Nigeria.

    (Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities, 2017-12-25) Abu Zekeri; Idowu, H. A. O,; Akinbola, Olufemi Amos
    The study investigates the link between power supply and business industrial development by examining the influence of government policies on power supply and industrial development in Nigeria. The Johansen Co-Integration technique was adopted to determine the long run relationship among some macroeconomic variables that includes the industrial component of Real Gross Domestic Product, explicitly chosen using explanatory variables. The independent variables includes electricity consumption, electricity production (Kwh), growth rate of labour force, real gross fixed capital formation and telephone lines per hundred population and their impact on industrial component of real GDP. Annual time series data on these variables from 1981 to 2010 were collected from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin, the World Bank and United Nations Statistics. Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) and Phillip-Perron (PP) tests are employed to test the order of integration of the variables. The study also performed a Vector Error Correction Model-VECM to correct possible disequilibrium caused in the short-run relationships. The study concluded that electricity condition which is a result of existing government policies exerts a negative impact on industrial output in the long run affects the business viability.
