(2013) Oloni Elizabeth Funlayo; Brimah Aminu Nassir; Afolabi, Hafsat Olatanwa
China has experienced rapid economic growth since 1977 when the country begins its reform. Before this time, the growth in Nigeria was above that of China; but the country has surpassed Nigeria since early 1980s as it has a constant and steady growth since then. The Nigerian economic growth kept fluctuating. The paper investigated therefore, the trend in the economic growth of both countries and tries to investigate the factors that lead to such economic growth in China so as to apply it to the Nigerian economy. Both descriptive and inferential statistics are used to investigate this. It was revealed that the Chinese reforms that started in 1977 has led to the stability in the growth rate of the country. The trend showed that the growth in China is driven by export and foreign investment.

(2014) Brimah, A.N.; Bolaji, I. A.; Adebayo, S. O.
The Universality of Poverty cannot be contested, but its causes and intensity difer from one society to the other. This also supports the argument that whot constitute poverty in a society might not be seriously the same in another society. This perfectly interprets the Nigerian situation. Without doubt, the economy of a nation whose citizen have been inflicted with poverty will be disturbed since the people responsible for developing the economy had initially been impoverished. This pap r question the administrative style of the Nigerian leaders in terms of job creation as a means of eradicating poverty and management of the existing industries via the provision of essential amenities such as (electricity, good roads) in ensuring their continuous production at maximum capacity. The paper then concludes that until our leaders tackle corruption in administration, economic growth might continue to be a mirage, while povertystill lingers in the Nigerian nation.

Nigeria is a country endowed with natural and human resources, but still fall short of the developmental progress required to positively impact the well being of the average Nigerian. Corruption has been described as one of the greatest challenges of our time and prevalence of high level of corruption in governance has been identified as one major obstacle militating against rapid growth and development. This study examines the benefits of TSA strategy and concludes that despite the plethora of legislation and agencies fighting corruption, it has remained pervasive because of the disconnection between the posturing of leaders and their conduct and failure to utilize universally accepted and tested strategies; a good example which is TSA. It therefore recommends that the government through the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF) must come up with the guidelines and modalities that will strengthen the process of TSA implementation.

(The Faculty of Management Sciences, Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, 2017-09) NURUDEEN BELLO AHMED; Professor MUHAMMAD SANI UMAR; Dr. ABUBAKAR SAMBO JUNAIDU
This study is on the perception difference between retired and serving employees in Sokoto state on the Notification of Pension Monthly Contribution and Remittances as and when due on the Defined Contributory Pension Scheme (DCP). Employees of federal ministries, departments and agencies (MDA's) in Sokoto state served as the population of the study. Multi stage sampling technique was used to arrive at a sample of 735 respondents. Questionnaire was used to gather information from the respondents. The DCP is the independent variable while the dependent variable is the perception difference measured by the receipt of notification of pension monthly contributions as and when due by the employees and the retirees. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed to present and analyze the data. The study found that serving employees and retirees in the MDA's have no differences expressed in perception in terms of receipt of notification of pension monthly contributions and remittances as and when due. The study therefore recommended among others PENCOM should take notification of pension monthly contribution and remittances very serious by way of mandating PFAs send statements of pension accounts to the clients as the notification of pension monthly contributions alerts contributors their status of pension assets. It also provides avenue for the employee to know his or her PFA's performance in-terms of accruable interest or commission to their assets. This is necessary before it becomes an issue likely to go out of hand.
