    (2017) Akeem Olanrewaju Salami, Kyrian Kelechi Okpara and Rahman Oladimeji Mustapha
    Time series forecasting analysis has become a major tool in different applications for the Manufacturing Company. Among the most effective approaches for analyzing time series data is ARIMA (Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average). In this study we used Box-Jenkins methodology to build ARIMA model for annual sales forecast for 7up Bottling Company Plc for the period from January 2010 to December 2015, given the available monthly sales data. After the model specification; the best model for production was ARIMA (1, 1, 1) and for utilization was ARIMA (0, 1, 1). A 12 months forecast have also been made to determine the expected amount of sales revenue in year 2016. The time plot reveals seasonal variation. It thus concludes that that there is increase in sales revenue of Company with time, hence these models can be adopted for sales, production, utilization and demand forecasting in Nigeria.

    Income Diversification, ESG Practices and Financial Sustainability of Listed Non-Financial Firms in Nigeria
    (Atlantis Highlights in Economics, Business and Management, 2025-05-05) Lukman Adebayo-Oke Abdulrauf, PhD; Yusuf Olamilekan Quadrim PhD; Sheriff Akanji Ibrahim, PhD
    Meeting the current financial needs and ensuring resource availability for future operations is vital for firms to maximize their shareholders wealth and improve overall health of the economy. However, ineffective allocation of resources to new ventures and ESG compliance issues have compacted the overall performance thereby undermining the listed non-financial firms’ financial sustainability. Consequently, this study investigates the impact of income diversification and ESG practices on the financial sustainability of the firm. Longitudinal research design was used and 84 out of the 104 listed non-financial firms were sampled using multi-stage sampling technique. Data obtained from the annual reports of the sampled firms as well as the ESG-CSR Hub were analyzed using panel data regression (GLS) technique and the findings revealed that income diversification and ESG practices have impact on the financial sustainability of the listed non-financial firms in Nigeria. The study therefore recommends that firms should identify more complementary revenue sources especially in the high-growth sectors in order to minimize investment and operational risk. Also, firms should invest in the energy-efficient technologies and waste management practices while implementing ESG frameworks that will position them competitively in a dynamic environment.

    Formal Financing, Country Risks and Livestock Output in Nigeria
    (Bayero Journal of Management Science, 2024-12-10) Abdulrauf Lukman Adebayo-Oke PhD, Ibrahim Sheriff Akanji, SafuraSikiru Abdullahi & Jimoh Ismail
    Livestock, which accounts for 30% of employment among Nigeria's rural population, is essential to the country's local economy and efforts to reduce poverty. The growth of the livestock subsector is hindered, nevertheless, by a range of concerns, such as political, economic, and financial uncertainty, as well as insufficient government budget allocation. In light of this, the purpose of this study is to examine how formal funding and national hazards affect Nigeria's livestock production. Secondary data for the years 1995 2021 were gathered from the International Country Risk Guide (ICRG) and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). Using E-view 9, the study used both descriptive and inferential statistics. Before and after the given model was estimated using Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL), a variety of diagnostic tests were performed. The agricultural guarantee credit scheme funds (AGC) are statistically significant at the 5% level of significance, according to the short term ARDL model. Other variables, such as commercial bank credits (CBC), budgetary allocation to agriculture (BAA), and exchange rate control variable (EXR), are not statistically significant in the short run. The control variable of prime lending rate (PLR, 0.0653) is statistically significant at 5% level of significance. Among other things, the study suggests that banks create customized credit solutions that address the particular requirements of cattle farmers, offer flexible periods for repayment, and form alliances with input suppliers and agriculture specialists.

    (Gusau Journal of Accounting and Finance, 2025-04-30) Yusuf Olamilekan Quadri, PhD; Lukman Adebayo-Oke Abdulrauf, PhD; Sheriff Akanji Ibrahim, PhD
    The volatile macroeconomic environment in which listed non-financial firms operate in Nigeria has posed many challenges to firm value maximisation due to policy inconsistencies, governance imbalance from ownership configuration, investors’ confidence-related issues, regulatory barriers among others. Hence, this study investigates the impact of ownership attributes on firm value of listed non-financial firms in Nigeria. The study adopted a longitudinal research design and the data of 84 sampled listed non-financial companies were extracted from the annual reports and market data websites. Panel generalised least square regression was employed to analyse the data obtained and the results exhibited that foreign ownership (β=0.1183, p-value = 0.000), institutional ownership (β = 0.5511, p-value = 0.000), managerial ownership (β = 0.2206, p-value = 0.031) and ownership concentration (β = 0.1181, p-value = 0.007) are all significant at 5% significant level, The study concluded that ownership attributes enhance the firm value of listed non-financial firms in Nigeria; thus, it was recommended that sustainable value creation strategies should be adopted in balancing all forms of ownership attributes among listed non-financial firms in order to enhance firm value.
