- Construction work and industry, although highly important to Nigeria’s developmental processes, is characterised by high level of risks occurrence and hazards. The trend is exacerbated by the insecure manner in which the construction workers are recruited, placed and managed as well as non-enforcement of existing safety laws in the sector. This raises concern about the type of safety training provided in the industry and the instructional method used in imparting such safety trainings. Previous studies have focused largely on the causes, prevention, control, safety legislations and provision of safety trainings with little emphasis on safety training instructional methods. This study, therefore, determined the effects of syndicate (STM) and guided-practice (GpTM) training methods on occupational health and safety competencies (OHSC) of workers in the construction industry in Oyo State, Nigeria. The moderating effects of employees’ literacy level and employment status were also examined. This study was anchored on multiple cause and social learning theories while the pretest-posttest, control group quasi experimental design with a 3x3x2 factorial matrix was adopted. Purposive sampling technique was employed in selecting three reputable construction organisations in Oyo State. The workers in the three organisations who met the study’s inclusion criteria were randomised into STM, (12), GpTM (11) and Lecture method (12) (Control) groups while treatment lasted six weeks. Construction Industry Occupational Health and Safety Competencies Questionnaire (r=0.85), training guides for STM, GpTM and lecture method were used for data collection. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Analysis of covariance and Scheffe post-hoc test at 0.05 level of significance. Participants were male (80.0%) and female (20.0%) with a mean age of 34 years; 54.3% and 45.7% were on permanent and temporary employments respectively. Their levels of literacy status were: low (37.1%), medium (34.3%) and high (28.6%). There was a significant main effect of treatment on workers’ OHSC (F (2, 17) = 22.28, partial η^2= .72). Participants exposed to STM obtained the highest posttest OHSC mean ( = 175.42) followed by those in GpTM ( = 111.00) and control ( = 82.58) groups. There were no significant main effects of literacy level and employment status on OHSC. There was a significant two-way interaction effect of treatments and literacy on OHSC (F (4, 17) = 3.18, partial η^2= .43) but the two-way interaction effects of treatment and employment status, and employment status and literacy level were not significant. Also, three-way interaction effect of treatment, literacy level and employment status on OHSC was not significant. Syndicate and guided-practice training methods were effective in enhancing the occupational health and safety competencies of construction workers regardless of their literacy level and employment status. Both training methods should, therefore, be employed regularly in safety trainings to achieve improved occupational health and safety competencies in the Nigerian construction industry. 2 results 2

- A challenge confronting the study of punishment in contemporary society is the justification of the institution concerned with the deliberate infliction of suffering on an offender. Most of these justifications have been anchored on either of two competing theories, namely the utilitarian and retributivist theories of punishment to the neglect of integrative notion of punishment found among the Yoruba. However, these theories fail to account for some elements necessary for an adequate conception of punishment such as proportional gravitation of punishment and the aversion to punishing the innocent. This study, therefore, examined the notion of punishment within the Yoruba culture, which reconciles the physical and non-physical aspects of human existence, in order to arrive at an integrative notion of punishment. The study adopted the hermeneutic theories of Hans-Georg Gadamer and Jurgen Habermas. Gadamer evolves an interpretive understanding based on the role of tradition and language, while Habermas’ notion of praxis and constitutive interests provides the basis for understanding the constitutive interests and social class structure which determines who exercises what responsibilities in any society. These views thus provide the basis for understanding the dimensions of punishment in Yoruba culture. It also employed the conceptual, critical and constructive methods of philosophy. Data were collected from archival and library materials and subjected to content analysis. The integrative notion of punishment in Yoruba culture goes beyond the discussion of the idea of punishment in western penology within the framework of the utilitarian-retributive debate. It provides for a coherent interconnection among social structure, law and belief system towards the certitude and trust making for harmonious human well- being. Nevertheless, the offender is restitutively reconciled to himself, the victim and the community at large. This underscores the saying that ìka tí ó se ni oba ńgé (It is the finger which offends that the king cuts) to buttress the judicious imposition of punishment on the offender as a means of establishing responsibility for human actions rather than disproportional gravitation of punishment which may degenerate into further antagonism and animosity. Besides, the notion constructively addresses the dispensing of justice in the quickest manner possible against the formal and cold procedural nature of justice. Also, the Yoruba saying bi a ba fi owo òtún na omo eni, a fi t’òsì fà à móra (when a man beats his child with his right hand, he should draw him to himself with his left) advances a creative and flexible human activity, whereby human beings are amenable to change and deserve integration into the community, though the social relations might have been breached because the crime still remains in people’s memories. The achievement of social order is enhanced by the integrative notion of punishment in Yoruba culture. Therefore, it is recommended that this approach should be incorporated into the adjudicatory system in contemporary penal practice. 1 results 1

- Business entities upon registration by the Registrar of Companies and award of certificates of incorporation thereof, become registered Companies. The issue of a certificate of incorporation incorporates the members of the Company into a persona at law with other attendant consequences. However, the issue of the Status of the Company as a corporate legal personality was not given a clear legal Interpretation until the celebrated English case of SALOMON v. SALOMON CO. LTD. ([1897] A. C. 22; 66) which later became a locus classicus on this subject. It is imperative to note that there are two controversial judgments in this case at the court of first instance and the Court of Appeal respectively before the matter was laid to rest at the House at Lords. This paper seeks to examine some germane issues raised by the House of Lords in this case. Some of the questions bother on whether the principle is essentially to protect members of the Company, the management or employees of the Company against the third party. To what extent can the principle serve as a shield, if it is one? Or is such a protection absolute? Laws are not usually enacted to take retrospective effect, therefore holistic approach should be adopted with a view to properly situate pre-incorporation contract, particularly where the going-concern was previously operating as a ‘business name’ and or ‘registered partnership’. 1 results 1

- Company, upon its incorporation becomes a legal personality or “legal abstraction” with powers to act for it with respect to formation of contract, right to sue and be sued (a juristic personality), right to own properties (real properties and chattels) among others. However, the characteristic that distinguishes companies from other forms of business organization is that aside from the companies being different from its members, it has the capacity for perpetual existence. The exit of its members will not necessarily ‘terminates’ the life of the company, since at best such member reserves the right of transfer his/her shares. This legal attribute of a company has however not been true of many companies that found themselves in the “murky waters” of bankruptcy and may therefore have to go through the winding up process, which usually ultimately “terminates” the life of such companies. However, with the dwindling fortunes of companies in the 21st century, and many having to wind up’ business activities as a result of insolvency, it becomes imperative that attempts be made to rescue the company from ‘dying’ rather than wait to give same ‘decent burial’ by way of liquidation and winding up process. This new concept is referred to as “Corporate Rescue” 1 results 1
