- The influx of massive revenues during periods of abnormally high oil prices creates enormous challenges for policy-makers in oil-producing countries. In Nigeria, the prudent utilisation of oil revenues has remained elusive for policy-makers over time. While the country has earned sizeable oil revenues from its natural endowment, poverty and income inequality have been persistent. This study tests the sensitivity of several important macroeconomic indicators to oil revenue shocks. We additionally test for the effect of ‘institutional quality’, in recognition of the important role played by the domestic institutional context in shaping the policy responses adopted by successive Nigerian governments to oil windfalls over time. The sensitivity analysis supports the general view that fluctuations in oil revenues have resulted in inflation, lower output growth and real exchange rate appreciation in Nigeria. More importantly, the aforementioned institutional variable is found to be very significant. This finding is consistent with the general assessment of fiscal performance in Nigeria during oil windfalls as being driven by domestic institutional dynamics. Ostentatious public consumption widened fiscal deficits, and government spending has been highly pro-cyclical during windfall episodes. In conclusion, the study offers appropriate policy recommendations, which could be adopted to enhance the management of future oil windfalls in Nigeria. 2 results 2

- "The observed poor quality of graduates of some Nigerian Universities in recent times has been partly traced to inadequacies of the National University Admission Examination System. In this study an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model for predicting the likely performance of a candidate being considered for admission into the university was developed and tested. Various factors that may likely influence the performance of a student were identified. Such factors as ordinary level subjects' scores and subjects' combination, matriculation examination scores, age on admission, parental background, types and location of secondary school attended and gender, among others, were then used as input variables for the ANN model. A model based on the Multilayer Perception Topology was developed and trained using data spanning five generations of graduates from an Engineering Department of University of Ibadan, Nigeria's first University. Test data evaluation shows that the ANN model is able to correctly predict the performance of more than 70% of prospective students. " 1 results 1
- A new spectrophotometric method has been developed for the analysis of acyclovir in bulk and dosage forms. The method is based on the diazo coupling reaction between diazotized acyclovir and p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde (DMAB). Spot tests and thin layer chromatographic analysis confirmed the formation of a greenish-yellow adduct which was stable in the laboratory environment for more than three hours. Critical factors affecting optimal detector response were identified and optimized. The optimal temperature and coupling reaction time were established at 50oC and 10 min. The azo adduct was determined at 404 nm where neither diazotized acyclovir nor DMAB has any significant absorptivity. Methanol was found as the best diluting solvent after coupling. The assays of acyclovir were linear over the range 1.81-9.06 μg/mL with a correlation coefficient of 0.9998 and limit of detection of 0.024 μg/mL. The method was accurate (error < 3 %) and precise (RSD < 2.7 %) over three days assessment. There was no interference from commonly used excipients. The method was successfully applied to the determination of acyclovir in tablets and creams with similar accuracy to the official USP spectrophotometric method. The method is rapid, simple and cost-effective and could find application in the in-process quality control of acyclovir. 1 results 1
