The Role Of Central Banks In Capital Market Development: The Nigerian Experience., Alhaji A. Ahmed

Bullion

Central banks, especially in Third World countries, play a major role in the growth and development process. Although the structures, functions and powers of central bank vary from country to country, depending on the economic, political, social and other environmental realities prevailing in society, the primary role of any central bank is the promotion of monetary stability and a sound financial system. In performing this role, a central bank necessarily undertakes some functions which include the issue of legal tender currency, maintenance of the value of the national currency, enhancement of funds mobilization, facilitation of competitive efficiency among banks and …

International Financial Operations In Nigeria’S Export Processing Zones (Epzs), A. P. Awoseyila

Bullion

Since the inception of SAP, the Federal Government has introduced many far reaching economic and financial measures aimed at promoting non-oil exports. Such measures include the promulgation of the incentives and Miscellaneous Provisions Decree, No. 18 of 11th July, 1986, the establishment of the Nigerian Export Import Bank (NEXIM) to provide different funds and financial assistance to exporters, the introduction of the Nigeria Economic Reconstruction Fund (NERFUND), the setting up of Small and Medium Scale Enterprises Fund (SMEs Fund) and the deregulation of the Foreign Exchange Market (FEM) which has resulted in significant depreciation of the naira exchange rate.

The Role Of Banks In Promoting The Growth Of Corporate Financing In Nigeria., K. M. Obitayo

Bullion

Capital formation whether financed from internal or external sources, requires the mobilization of economic surpluses. For investment to increase, there must be a growing surplus over and above current consumption that can be channelled into productive uses. The different ways of accumulating capital entail different institutional arrangements. The objective of this paper is to discuss the role of banks in promoting the growth of corporate financing in Nigeria. The rest of the paper is structured into three major parts. Part 1 outlines the evolution of the Nigerian banking system. Part II examines the role of banks in fostering the growth …

Access To Credit: The Case For Rural Women., E. B. I. Oladunni

Bullion

The alleviation of poverty has generally been the cornerstone of economic policy in Nigeria. Past policies have been pursued with the sole objective of improving the living standards of the people through enhanced income and generation of employment opportunities. Despite all machineries put in place, most of the women folk have not benefited because of some endemic socio-cultural problems affecting the women. This paper highlights the need for credit, conditions for attracting credit especially for rural women and the policies that can provide the right atmosphere for access to credit by rural women for sustainable development.

Georgia Goes Superfund: A Look At The New Georgia Hazardous Site Response Act, Robert D. Mowrey

Mercer Law Review

The enactment in 1980 of the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA") is commonly attributed to the uproar surrounding the evacuation of the Love Canal neighborhood in Niagara Falls, New York. The discovery of thousands of buried drums containing hazardous waste on a Douglas County, Georgia horse farm known as Basket Creek might be considered Georgia's Love Canal, not because of any particular environmental similarities to the Niagara Falls site, but because of the similarities in legislative impact. Just as the publicity surrounding Love Canal gave sudden rise to CERCLA, Basket Creek provided the primary impetus to …

Wills, Trusts, And Administration Of Estates, James C. Rehberg

Mercer Law Review

This survey period has been interesting primarily because fiduciary law seemed to have paused for a breather. Immediately preceding this survey period, the General Assembly enacted the first truly comprehensive trust code in Georgia's history.' After the adoption of this code, with some relatively minor revisions, a time of study and evaluation of the new code, rather than litigation and legislative proposals, seems only natural. The few new statutes concerning fiduciary law will be covered after a discussion of a smaller number than usual of appellate court decisions in this area.

The Construction Of The Right To Development: The United Nations, Human Rights, And Economic Development, Nader Izzat Said

Dissertations

The origins of human rights are of interest to social scientists. This study focuses on the construction process of the right to development as related to the UN. The emphasis is on the claims-making processes surrounding the creation of the right to development. To understand these processes, a theoretical framework has been developed. This framework combines interactionism, collective-behavior approaches, a dialectical theory of law-creation, and a capitalist world-economy theory. It is expected that this theoretical framework will explain the specific, organizational, and structural processes that led to the creation of the right to development.

Where Has All The Commitment Gone, Harold Westing

Journal of the American Society for Church Growth

Two contemporary sociologists, Allan Bloom (The Closing of the American Mind) and Robert Bellah (Habits of the Heart: Individualism and Commitment in American Life), focus our attention to the growing problems in America brought about by our often individualistic and uncommitted values. Christian leadership struggles to find ways to bring Christians to a serious commitment to Christ.

Experimental And Theoretical Analyses Of Instructional Tasks: Reading, Discrimination, And Construction, Satoru Shimamune

Dissertations

The effectiveness and efficiency of three kinds of workbooks were compared in teaching behavioral systems analysis to college students.

The discrimination workbook had the same definitions, examples and nonexamples, but the subjects were asked to work on discriminating the examples from the nonexamples. Feedback was given with regard to the correctness of the subjects' responses. The construction workbook had the same definitions of …

Neuropsychological Effects Of Short-Term Abstinence In Adolescent Alcoholics, Asiah Mayang

Dissertations

The Michigan Neuropsychological Battery (Smith, 1975) was administered to 14 to 17-year-old alcoholics from an inpatient and outpatient substance abuse treatment center within 7 days of their last drink, and again after 28-33 days of abstinence (a = 26). Comparisons were made between this group and an adolescent alcoholic group who did not abstain and was not receiving treatment for their alcohol abuse (n = 15). The non-abstaining group was also given the same test battery twice. Results indicated that subjects who abstained from drinking (experimental group) performed better than subjects who did not abstain (control group) on measures of …

Entrepreneurial Activities Of Homeless Men, Steven Balkin

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Encouraging and assisting homeless people to become self-employed provides a way for some of them to increase their incomes, and may help close the gap between the cost of housing and labor market earnings. A survey of operators of homeless shelters was conducted to determine the types of work activities that adult homeless men participate in. Self-employment was found to be a common activity for a substantial proportion of adult homeless men; and a preferred mode of employment for many. Advantages and disadvantages of such an approach are discussed. Several program models are described which can be used to enhance …

Why Fiscal Policies Matter In African Countries, M. O. Ojo, T. O. Okunrounmu

Economic and Financial Review

The paper discusses the critical role of fiscal policy in developing African economies. While it is accepted that fiscal management is one of the important functions of a modern state, the nature of the fiscal management in a specific environment determines, to a large extent, the overall effect of such intervention. The Nigerian experience indicates a very narrow revenue base that could not withstand the weight of public expenditure and investment.
