Trade Union Politics in Nigeria – A Case Study of 2023 General Election in Nigeria
Full text linkAhead of the 2023 general election, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has asked all its state chapters to activate their political committees at local government levels to sensitise workers and the public on the need to vote for the Labour Party (LP) candidates in all elective positions in the 2023 general election. This showcases the relevance of trade unions as seen in the contemporary society in many ways. So far, we have stressed that it is imperative for trade unions to actively participate in the political process so as to further safeguard the interest of members as seen during the 2023 general elections in Nigeria. To some extent, trade unions in Nigeria have over the years fulfilled this laudable objective. This is attested to by their involvement in several political issues especially when the wellbeing of the working class is affected. An overall assessment of the role of trade unions in the political process in Nigeria would show that there is still more to be done in this direction. Specifically, trade unions have some constraints which limit their effectiveness in the performance of their functions. These include among others, poor leadership, lack of internal democracy, government intervention, tribalism and nepotism, poor economic climate, internal factionalism and apathetic attitude, as most unions depend largely on check-offs from their members which is generally insufficient. In addition, is the problem of low participation of members in union activities. It is hereby suggested that Nigerian government should allow free trade unionism as a way of strengthening the current democratic dispensation; and that, in view of the paramount role played by trade unions in the political process in Nigeria, it would be imperative to advocate that all the stakeholders in the nation’s industrial relations should take practical measures aimed at strengthening trade union movement in the country
India at the International Level
Full text linkIndia's status as the largest democracy in the world and a country that values peace shapes its strategic role in international affairs. India has embraced democracy and non-violence despite its colonial background, and it actively promotes world peace through its participation in institutions like the UN, SAARC, and ASEAN. But India's foreign policy approaches, especially when it comes to dealing with global concerns like economic growth and terrorism, show weaknesses in striking a balance between regional leadership and wider global influence. This article examines India's foreign policy by examining its peacekeeping missions and international affiliations. The results indicate that India remains a significant player in promoting stability and peace in the world because of its dedication to democratic principles and non-violence, which serves as a model for other developing countries
Large Class Size and Tertiary Institutions in Nigeria
Full text linkThis paper discussed the impact of large class sizes on tertiary institutions in Nigeria. Secondary data were used in the paper. The data were collected from print and online publications. The paper concluded that large class sizes in tertiary institutions have negatively affected the implementation of teaching programmes, research programmes, and student’s academic performance and have led to brain-drain in the various institutions across the country. Based on the findings, of the paper, the study recommended among others that, the federal and state governments of Nigeria should ensure that the lecturer-student ratio policy of the government is strictly adhered to. The suggested solution will increase student academic performance and the quality of students the tertiary institutions are graduating

Digital Technology and MSME Product Maximization (A Comprehensive Quantitative Study)
Full text linkThe rapid evolution of digital technology has profoundly reshaped business strategies, especially within the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) sector. This study explores the impact of digital marketing on enhancing product performance, customer satisfaction, and sales growth among MSMEs. A quantitative descriptive method was employed, involving 30 respondents selected through accidental sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires measured on a Likert scale and analyzed using Partial Least Squares (PLS) via Smart-PLS software. The findings reveal digital marketing directly influences product image and indirectly drives sales growth through the mediating effects of product image and customer satisfaction. All constructs in the model exhibit strong validity and reliability, as evidenced by outer loadings, AVE, composite reliability, and discriminant validity analyses. Additionally, the model demonstrates good predictive relevance and acceptable fit indices. These findings highlight the strategic importance of digital marketing in enhancing MSMEs competitiveness and sustaining business performance. Practical implications suggest that MSMEs should leverage digital tools to build product image and strengthen customer engagement as a pathway to increased business growth
