- In spite of prevailing challenges, many Yoruba women entrepreneurs have become successful in the informal textile trading. Few empirical studies on Yoruba women textile traders who have attained this success had been carried out. This study, therefore, examined how Yoruba women at Balogun market known to be the largest market textile trading in south west Nigeria with a large proportion of female gender, and an international market that serves ECOWAS countries with high volume of trading activities developed as entrepreneurs in textile trading. The study was of descriptive research design guided by social action theory. Forty in-depth interviews (IDIs) and Eight Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) were purposively conducted with women operating lock-up shops. Eighteen key Informants Interviews (KIIs) (male traders-5, historians-2, women trading from stalls-6 and retired women textile traders-5) were interviewed and eight case studies were done with wholesale textile traders. Archival materials were used to complement the primary data. Data were collected on the women’s historical experiences involving the process of entrepreneurial development to understand when and how they started textile trading; motivating factors asking why textile trading; access to entrepreneurial resources; organization of the textile trade and challenges faced by women textile traders. The data were subjected to Content analysis and ethnographic summaries. Involvement of Yoruba women in the textile trades at Balogun market dated back to pre-independence period. Socialization into textile trade was diverse, such as, early child development training through ascribed status, apprenticeship training for a specified period through achieved status under the guidance of mentorship usually known as “Madam‘’. The head of association prescribes modes of entry and exit for admission into the trade. Extensive social networking was enhanced by benefactors and friends. The prestige attached to textile trading largely motivated women into the trade. Start-up capital came from personal savings, gratuities from previous employment, loans from spouses and inheritance. Access to credit was through an informal credit system such as esusu and ‘gifts’ from manufacturers, bank credit facilities without collaterals and plough back profits. Marketing and promotion strategies such as monetary gifts and informal social relations with customers; pooling of resources to lower overhead cost; record keeping and auditing to enhance their trade were major strategies used to boost trade. Exclusive trading rights in special materials, continuous innovation and imitation of textile materials by women textile traders enhance wealth accumulation and facilitated entrepreneurial development. Challenges faced by women included exorbitant shop prices and warehouses lacking necessary facilities, banning some of the textile materials by the government and the vagaries of the informal economy. Entrepreneurial development process among Yoruba women textile traders was enhanced by ascribed and achieved statuses, continuous ability to access entrepreneurial resources, ability to innovate and imitate textile materials, resources pooling and risk sharing through appropriate social networking that lower head costs. 1 results 1
- In this work, a comparative analysis of alternative energy sources has been carried out to ascertain their suitability in terms of availability, cost, advantages and disadvantages among other factors. The selected energy alternatives are solar and inverters. The first case study-site was an office suit located in government reserved area and the second a medium house unit within Lagos the most commercial city in Nigeria. Practical surveys and data collection were carried out for the selected sites coupled with their energy auditing to obtain the total energy consumed. An energy sizing analysis helped in determining the energy specifications and installation-cost of the alternative energy sources in the surveyed sites. The results obtained presented guiding principles among other solutions on how homes and offices canbe powered by applying the method of selective-loading to reduce energy cost. 1 results 1

- Objective: The determine the prevalence of stillbirth and identify associated factors among parturients in a faith-based secondary health centre. Method: This was a retrospective audit of two hundred and twenty-five stillbirth deliveries at the Our Lady of Apostle Catholic Hospital at Oluyoro, Oke-Offa in Ibadan, Nigeria, between 1st January2010, and 31st December, 2015. Data was extracted from hospital records for sociodemographic characteristics, obstetric factors, complications, and outcomes of pregnancy. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 20 and the level of statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: The stillbirth rate was 27.75 per 1000 births. More than half (129; 57.4%) were macerated. The ratio of still birth rate among the booked and unbooked parturients was 1:21. The common causes of stillbirths were hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (24.9%), anaemia in pregnancy (20.4%); while the least were congenital anomalies (1.0%) and gestational diabetes mellitus (1.0%). Conclusion: This study confirmed that most of the stillbirths were due to unsupervised or poorly supervised pregnancies. There is need to ensure quality antenatal care services for the early detection and management of risk factors in order to reduce the burden of stillbirths. 1 results 1

- Separating ownership from managerial control in publicly traded firms made corporate governance a matter of necessity, due to the possibility of principal agent problem. Mostly, managers protect their own self-interest without regard for shareholders’ returns on investment, this often lead to agency conflict and consequent loss. Previous studies have focused mainly on manufacturing and banking sector, however, paucity of information exists in areas of oil firms over the years. Hence, effect of corporate governance on performance of listed oil companies in Nigeria from 2009 to 2018 were investigated. Secondary data sourced from Nigeria stock exchange covering 2009 to 2018 were used to examine effect of corporate governance on performance of six oil companies in Nigeria. Data collected include; board size, executive directors’ number, non-executive directors’ number, audit committees’ number, net annual income, shareholders’ equity, net profit/margin, assets for the period, while board composition, return on assets and equity were generated. Data collected were analysed using Cross Sessional Random Effects Model (REM) of regression analysis. Unit root test indicated that all variables were stationary at level. Audit committee (0.803277), (4.363851) exhibited a positive relationship with firms’ performance, though insignificant, while board composition (-2.647377)(-2.647377) and board size (-0.546097) (-2.948961) had an inverse relationship, though significant with ROE and ROA. All the variables jointly influence firms’ performance positively with R2(0.587999,0.597182) and adjusted R2 (0.544499,0.584174) value, respectively. Audit committees enhances firms’ performance; all variables jointly improve firms’ performance. Measures should be put in place to increase audit committees independence and the extent to which they disclose corporate governance information 1 results 1

- The nature and performance of cooperative societies have encouraged different people to join different cooperatives. Existing studies have examined the impact of cooperatives on people and businesses with scant attention paid to the comparison between Islamic and conventional cooperatives and their financial statuses. A comparison of both is necessary to weigh the relative impact of each on their respective members. Therefore, this study compared Islamic and conventional cooperative societies, using Al-Ikhlas Cooperative Society and University of Ibadan Workers' Cooperative Investment and Credit Society (UI Workers' Cooperative) as a case study. Data comprised the audited annual financial statements of both cooperatives for the period of 5 years, 2014 to 2018. They were analysed, using ratio-based model, CAMEL (Capital, Asset, Management, Efficiency and Liquidity) and growth rate of share capital to measure their performance and operational efficiency. While UI Workers' Cooperative engages in different types of investments, including those prohibited by Sharî'ah, Al-Ikhlas invests only in products and services allowed in Sharî'ah. The net surplus growth rate of UI Workers' Cooperative (42.12%) was greater than that of Al-Ikhlas society (18.88%). At an average, Al-Ikhlas' capital adequacy ratio (3.65%), members' savings (18.94%) and Management efficiency ratio (91.22%) were higher than those of UI Workers' Cooperative of 2.17%, 7.91% and 59.78%, respectively. Al-Ikhlas is self-sustaining and growing despite avoiding investments prohibited Shariah. By implication, Islamic cooperatives tend to impact more on its members than do conventional cooperatives on its members. 1 results 1
