Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to unravel not only the effect of job satisfaction on millennial managers engagement but also the moderating effect of structural empowerment and gender in predicting engagement. Data collection is based on an online survey sent to managers of selected companies. 142 questionnaires were analysed using hierarchical regression analysis. Results suggest that job satisfaction positively relates to millennial managers engagement. The effect of job satisfaction on engagement is significantly moderated by structural empowerment. However, gender does not moderate the effect of job satisfaction on millennial managers engagement. Considering that job satisfaction is important for millennials’ managers level of engagement, organisations must incorporate all motivational factors (e.g., advancement and professional development opportunities, possibility to use their knowledge in the work) to sustain Job satisfaction and a higher level of engagement. Future studies should examine the growing network of relationships (mediating and moderating) among job satisfaction, empowerment and millennial managers engagement.

Abstract
The study’s goal was to assess the influence of the 2013 Central Bank of Nigeria MSMEs fund on the growth of entrepreneurship in some Nigerian states. The study used a quantitative approach to data gathering and analysis as an exploratory study. To reflect the six geopolitical zones of the nation, primary data from 720 MSMEs in six states were gathered and analyzed using SPSS 23. Results demonstrated a strong positive association between the growth of entrepreneurship in a few Nigerian States and the CBN MSMEs fund. Conditions for MSMEs in Nigeria to obtain CBN funds are another crucial aspect that propels the growth of entrepreneurship in the nation. The study suggests, among other things, that: a vigorous campaign be used to inform MSMEs’ operators of the fund’s existence in order for majority of them to benefit from it; sufficient funds be granted to some businesses, especially the micro and small ones, in order to meet their operational working capital needs; and the time between documentation and the release of funds by participating banks be shortened.

Abstract
The problem of corruption is considered as one of the most emerging issues, which poses serious challenges to national development in Nigeria. Corruption is so endemic in Nigeria in such a way that the entire fabric of the society is affected. The myriads of issues associated with corruption which has permeated both public and private sectors have almost run Nigeria socially and economically grounded. That between 1960 – 2022 corruption costs Nigeria over $30 billion in financial loss. Many private sectors, individuals and organisations act in connivance with public servants to steal or divert public funds in billions of Naira. In the public sector, public funds and properties are routinely cornered by well- placed officers who wind up owning stupendous wealth while the majority of Nigerian masses suffer from object poverty, lack of infrastructure and absence of other social services. This research work tries to look at corruption and industrial development: and the way forward in Nigeria with particular focus on Northeast Zone. The overall objectives of this research work are to uncover the acceptable role model that would curb corruption, which paves ways for bringing rapid industrial development in Nigeria and in particular, Northeast Zone. The researchers used both questionnaire and documentation as methods of data collection in generating information concerning the topic in question. The sources of data were both primary and secondary. The primary data was sourced through the administration of questionnaires to targeted individuals and groups, especially, Industrialist, public members, and officials of both public and private sectors in order to have relevant information. It is recommended among others that there should be reasonable payment to civil servants and public officers a living wage that can take care of their needs. Employment in both public and private sectors should be based on merit so as to engage credible and competent manpower to man our organisations. Give full support and granting autonomy to the already existing Anti-corruption Agencies to enable them curb corrupt practices that would encourage faithfulness in implementing development programs/projects that promote rapid development nationwide.

Abstract
Traditionally, the primary function of a product’s package was to contain and protect a product but recent packaging trend and emergence has seen increased competition and clutter on retail store shelves make packaging an important marketing tool. This, by implication, means that packages must now perform many sales tasks ranging from attracting attention, describing the product, to making the sale. This study examined two product packaging variables (colour and design) and their impacts on sales volume of consumer shopping goods. The study adopted survey research design and the population comprised of the retail stores selling consumer shopping goods in Bida from which 25 were selected using convenience sampling. Well-structured questionnaire was carefully designed to elicit information from the selected retail outlets and they were analysed using SPSS and path analysis with two models. The results of the study indicated that packaging colour has a positive and significant impact on sales volume of consumer shopping goods; it also showed that packaging design has a positive and significant impact on sales volume of consumer shopping goods. It was therefore concluded that all the established relationships between product packaging and sales volume of consumer shopping goods were positive and significant thereby leading to the rejection of the claimed hypotheses (H1 and H2) and acceptance of alternative ones. It was therefore recommended that marketers and producers should ensure they design attractive and cost-effective packages to serve as a selling point for their products. Also, management of firms should make sure that their product packages are not deceptive to customers.

Microfinance banks in Nigeria have been considered as the most vibrant financial institutions in driving down the goal of financial inclusion. The role of microfinance banks in credit mobilization cannot be underestimated in members’ welfare maximization as well as economic growth and development of Nigeria. However, microfinance banks have been confronted with the activities of fraudsters resulting in loss of financial assets and confidence of both customers and members.

With respect to this, the impact of forensic accounting techniques was examined on the prevention of fraud in microfinance institutions in Anambra state, Nigeria. Specifically, assessment of relative size factor, data mining and ratio analysis was evaluated on the prevention of fraud in microfinance institutions. Quantitative approach was used on the survey of 69 participants of audit and account staffs of the microfinance institutions. Regression technique was used to evaluated the objective of the study where the findings discovered showed that relative size factor has positive and insignificant impact; data mining has positive and significant impact while ratio analysis has positive and insignificant impact on microfinance institutions fraud prevention. Based on this, the study suggests that the management of microfinance institutions should increase the use of relative size factor technique in fraud prevention.

Motivational Theories of Entrepreneurship and Its Impact on Inculcating Entrepreneurial Spirit in Nigerian Youths

Abstract
Nigeria is blessed with abundant natural resources but still suffers from low levels of human development (UNDP, 2018) and is rank 142nd among the 177 countries in 2018. This is deterring the need for a huge effort by the government and stakeholders to make more effort in boosting national human capital, part of which could be achieved through innovation and creativity. To offset these deficiencies key measures taken in Nigeria include the establishment of the first African Institute of Science and accreditation standards and the mandatory scheme for entrepreneurship education across state universities by the National Universities Commission (NUC). These “high-end” initiatives supplement the numerous training programs referred to above suggesting the importance of multiple forms of entrepreneurial support activity necessary for an aspiring and developing economy. In the Americas and Europe, young people are creating million-dollar businesses out of their ideas, and Nigerian youths are just as creative as other young folks in other climes. This paper examines the arguments put forward by three popular theories in entrepreneurship literature, namely, the neo-classic motivation theory of entrepreneurship, the innovation theory, and the alert theory of entrepreneurship, and posits that the assertions made in these theories serve as a source of motivation and inculcate entrepreneurial spirits in the unemployed Nigerian youths.

A Review of Termination of Employment in the Private Sector in Nigeria
Barr Nzewi Chino Nnenne
Department of Business Administration, Federal Polytechnic Oko
Abstract
Over the years, the common law has maintained the at-will doctrine which is to the effect that an employer can terminate an employment contract with an employee for good reason, bad reason or no reason at all. By virtue of Nigeria‟s historical ties with the common-law, it adopted this position. The ILO Convention No. 158 on Termination of Employment makes an attempt to put an end to the common-law employment-at-will doctrine by stating that an employer is now required to give valid reasons before termination. In Nigeria, employment in the private sector usually involves that of a master-servant relationship and accordingly, an employer can terminate an employment relationship with an employee by merely giving notice, or payment of salary in lieu of notice, irrespective of the motive. Unfortunately however, this harsh position has worked an untold hardship on employees because of their obvious weaker bargaining power when negotiating employment contracts. The National Industrial Court of Nigeria (the NIC) which is vested with exclusive jurisdiction on labour and employment matters has recently applied the ILO Convention 158 to so decide matters against unfair termination. In the same vein, the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal, both superior courts have decided certain termination of employment cases relying on the common-law doctrine. This has raised several academic debates particularly as Nigeria has signed the convention but is yet to domesticate it. In light of the above, this paper seeks to review the framework for the termination of employment contracts in the private sector and the applicability of the ILO Convention 158 under the Nigerian constitutional framework. This paper will conclude by suggesting the need for the superior courts to take a definitive position as it relates to termination of employment contracts in the private sector.

Abstract
The main objective of the study is to unravel the link between petroleum profit tax and revenue generation in Nigeria. This has become important since the impact of the revenue from the oil sector has not been felt as expected in the country. The study covered the period between 1994 to 2021. The co-integration technique and its correction model (ECM) was used in analyzing the data. The Johansen Co-integration test result indicate the existence of a long run equilibrium relationship among the variables. The parsimonious ECM result shows that petroleum profit tax had a positive but insignificant impact on the Real Gross Domestic Product (RGDP). The result indicates that the company income tax had a significant and positive impact with the RGDP. The Value Added Tax had a positive and significant impact on the RGDP. On the basis of these findings, the study recommends amongst others a proper monitoring of figures declared by multinational companies and other operators in the oil industry as petroleum profit.
