    (Academic Research International, 2011-07) Dr. A. Y. Abdulkareem, Dr. Afolabi, S. O., Dr. Olorisade, O. G.
    National Open University which was formally established in Nigeria in 1983 aimed at bridging the existing gaps in education. The study is a survey research of descriptive type which unveiled the myriads of problems facing the National Open University of Nigeria as perceived by the facilitators and the students in Kwara and Oyo States. Forty facilitators and fifty students randomly selected from Kwara and Oyo States study centres participated in the study. Questionnaire was the major instrument used while simple percentage and chi-square statistics were used to analyze the research questions and the two hypotheses generated respectively. The findings of the study revealed lack of standard classrooms, inadequate supply of electricity and inadequate funding which are the variables of resource allocation and organization, as major problems facing the Open University Programme in Nigeria. However, the study revealed that there is no significant difference between facilitators’ and students’ perception of the problems associated with resource allocation and organization of programmes. It was therefore, recommended among others that adequate funds should be made available by the government, the institution should make course materials and computer-based media available at all study centres for students’ use. Also, uninterrupted academic calendar of the university must be ensured while internet services should be provided at all study centres

    ABSTRACT This study assessed the utilization of healthcare services by clients in federal tertiary institutions within Kaduna State, Nigeria. A descriptive research design of the survey type was employed. The study population consisted of 135,309 clients across the federal tertiary institutions in Kaduna State. The sample size of 382 was selected using multistage sampling procedures, including stratified, simple random, proportionate, and convenience sampling. Data collection was carried out using a structured close-ended questionnaire, which underwent validation by three experts from the Department of Human Kinetics and Health Education at Ahmadu Bello University Zaria. The instrument's reliability was assessed using the split-half method, resulting in a reliability coefficient of 0.879. The study employed descriptive statistics, including frequency and simple percentages, to analyze the demographic characteristics of the respondents. For inferential analysis, one-sample t- tests and independent sample t-tests were used to test the stated hypotheses at a 0.05 level of significance. The result revealed that there is no significant utilization of healthcare services provision (t = 1.504; p = 0.724); and there is no significant difference in the utilization of healthcare services provision between male and female clients (t = 1.279; p = 0.202). Based on these findings, the study concluded that clients in federal tertiary institutions in Kaduna State, Nigeria exhibit low utilization of healthcare services. Furthermore, there are no gender-based disparities in healthcare service utilization. Hence, it was recommended that there is a need for federal tertiary institutions in Kaduna state, Nigeria, to improve accessibility, affordability and quality of their care services, and the need for healthcare providers to be trained to understand and respond to the unique healthcare needs of both male and female clients.

Timing is a major factor that determines effective participating in exercise. Therefore, the objective of the study was to find out the effect of 20 and 30 minutes ef jogging on Weight, BMI, Percent Body Fat and Waist/Hip Ratio. Experimental research design was adopted for the study. Multi stage sampling procedure was used to select 60 female participants for this study. Standardized instruments were used for data collection. One hypothesis was postulated for this study. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics of Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The hypothesis was tested at .05 level of alpha. The study found that; no significant difference between the two experimental groups based on body composition variables of the participants. This means that 20 and 30 minutes of jogging had the same effect on the body composition variables of the participants. There was also no significant difference between the experimental groups and the control group. This means that the treatment was not effective on the experimental group's body composition variables. It was concluded that 20 and 30 minutes of the same intensity of jogging tend to yield similar results on body composition variables of these participants. Therefore, there is need to engage in various aerobic exercise and female young adults in Ilorin should include healthy dietary pattern in their lifestyle as exercise alone may not give desired result within 0-6 weeks of aerobic exercise.

Studies confirmed that exercise has proven to be effective in improving and maintaining efficiency of the body physiological and psychological status. However, it is not certain whether Human Kinetics exercise program has the acclaimed potency among individuals who are in correctional centres as a result of convictions and what they stand to gain from it as they transit back to the society hence, this study investigated the interrelationships among incarcerated people with depressed mind and therapeutics exercises. Simple random sampling techniques was used for the selection of correctional centres. Participant were purposely selected based on their inclusion criterial, such as fitness level, willingness, readiness, voluntarism, and educational status. Seventy-four (74) out of one hundred and six (106) convicted inmates who volunteered to partake in his study and were randomly assigned into control and experimental groups. Therapeutic exercise program was therefore found to be a significant correctional education tool for self-concept and self-esteem of inmates in correctional centres. It is therefore recommended that the Government and the Correctional Centres Authorities at all levels should collaborate with expert in the field of sports and exercise science to design appropriate Exercise Program and put in place facilities that would boost self-concept and self-esteem status of prison inmates, so that upon completion of convicted term the integration and re-entry back into the society would be smother and highly integrating for a long term success and avenue for positive contributions.

Some of the reasons for this include the increased student population in Nigerian tertiary institutions, the inability of indus tries to absorb all students due to limited spaces, and the inability to pay the required stipend. Other problems include the wrong placement of students for the exercise. This paper proffered strategies for providing a more robust programme of engagement that would promote entrepreneurial spirit and skills required by students to establish personal ventures and succeed at it at the end of their academic pursuit. The programme will provide oppor tunities to capture all that the students are required to go for SIWES in a more appropriate setting and provide rich collaboration between Small and Medium Enterprises (SME’S) and educational institutions in Nigeria.
