The non-parametric Chi-Square test and Analysis of variance (ANOVA) statistical tools were used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The key findings of the study shows that women entrepreneurship has impacted on employment generation. Also, that women entrepreneurship skill and learning has impacted on wealth creation. The study further discovered that women social status has impacted on the community/social development. The report suggests that the government implement measures to promote women as sources or drivers of entrepreneurship to support economic growth. As the majority of women entrepreneurs develop their businesses as micro and small enterprises, often viewing them as family enterprises likely stemming from their motivation to generate income for family sustenance they require marketing, financial, and managerial skills for the effective management of these entrepreneurial operations. Women social status should not be abused as most people even in community might use it to allocate resources unequally thereby introducing inequality and injustice in the distribution of resources especially in our communities

Causal Effects of Tax Revenue and Budget Implementation in Nigeria
Full text linkThis study examines the causal relationship between taxation and budget implementation in Nigeria from 2000 to 2022, addressing the persistent challenge of aligning tax revenues with fiscal policy outcomes. Despite Nigeria's reliance on tax revenue, its impact on budget execution remains unclear, creating a knowledge gap in fiscal management. The research aims to assess the Granger causality between company income tax (CIT), value-added tax (VAT), and budget implementation, measured by capital expenditure. Time series data from the CBN Statistical Bulletin and World Development Indicators were analyzed. The findings revealed no Granger causality between CIT and budget implementation, while a significant Granger causality exists between VAT and capital expenditure, indicating that VAT revenue influences budget execution. The study recommends improved fiscal and monetary policy coordination to ensure VAT revenues are effectively channeled toward capital expenditure, fostering economic development
Causality Nexus of Foreign Direct Investment and Economic Growth in Tanzania: An Empirical Investigation
Full text linkThis paper sought to examine the causality nexus of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Economics Growth in Tanzania. Specifically, the research aim to assess the impact of FDI to manufacturing, agricultural and service sectors. Moreover, the study employed time series data from 1993 to 2023. FDI inflow is always considered an important economic growth catalyst in developing economies. Neoclassical growth theories proposed that FDI enhances economic growth by augmenting capital stock and technology. According to the neoclassical models, FDI does not enhance the long-run growth rate but instead is related to the output level. Autoregressive Distributed Lags (ARDL) models was employed to determine the long-run and causal relationship between variables of interest in all three models of the study. The findings of the manufacturing output model suggest that FDI has positive and statistically significance effect to manufacturing sector in both short run and long run. In agriculture and service sector models only short run estimation was captured due to lack of co-integration pattern among variables. The findings indicated a positive and statistical significant unidirectional causality running from FDI to both agricultural and service sectors output. Based on the findings of the study the policy implication is that Tanzania should emphasize FDI-led growth policies to enhance sustainable economic growth to realize the desired economic objectives at the macro level
