abstract = {The primitive extraction procedures of palm oil are still in use in the village today. In order to increase palm oil production, small scale oil production should be encouraged, which has the added benefit of providing an additional source of employment. Modern processing of oil palm fruit bunches into edible oil is practiced using various methods, which may be grouped into four categories according to their degree of complexity. In order to preliminarily find out the acceptability/ profitability or dispositions towards the small scale agro processing of palm oil traditionally, questionnaires were designed and administered. The various results and responses obtained are hereby presented in tabular and chart forms. The questionnaire starts with demographic questions, finding age, gender and marital status. The response shows that 35 percent of those who participated were male while 65 percent are female.

abstract = {The exact combination of leverage utilized to fund a company's assets and activities is referred to as its capital structure. Equity is a much costlier, long-term form of financing with greater financial flexibility from a company standpoint. Borrowing, on the other hand, is a less costly source of capital with a limited term, which legally obliges the company to commit to fixed, promised outflows of funds. These financial choices, that could be influenced by capital structure policies as well as goals established by management and the board of directors, determine a company's capital structure. The sample size is drawn from eight listed oil and gas marketing and producing companies in Nigeria. The ordinary least square method (OLS) of multiple regressions was utilized in this study. The data was then analyzed using econometric tools like multiple regressions to ascertain the impact of capital structure on performance of listed oil and gas companies in Nigeria.It was discovered that all oil and gas firms fund their operations with more debt rather than equity because of the huge capital outlay involved. Additionally, it was discovered that STD, LTD, TDE, and INC had a positive but insignificant impact on Nigeria's quoted oil firms' performance. The study's findings recommend adding more factors to the model when assessing how capital structure affects company performance.

abstract = {This study examines the effect of compacted plastic pellets stabilized lateritic soil to reduce the impact of accidental explosions on underground structures. In this study, lateritic soil and plastic were taken from Ilaro, Ogun State, Nigeria. The plastic wastes were grounded into pellets and substituted with laterite. The tests were conducted in line with BS 1377 (1990) to determine the moisture content and compaction. The results were compared with the simulated results of Olarewaju (2013) in the study of the response of underground structures due to blast loads. In the said work, soil and pipes were modeled; loads from accidental explosions were estimated using Unified Facilities Criteria (2008). Various constituents of blast considered are ground media, pipes, intervening medium, blast, blast characteristics and method of analysis (finite element formulation and solution using ABAQUS/Explicit in ABAQUS). From the results, the lowest dry density value is 0.96kg/m3 and 1.130 kg/m3 respectively at 30% plastic pellets mixed with lateritic soil. In the work of Olarewaju (2013), dimensionless deflection at the crown, invert and spring-line of underground pipes in loose material is low compared to dense material. It is clear that at 30% and above plastic substitution, the density is relatively low and this could as soft backfill material reduce the impact of accidental explosions on underground structures. Consequently, loads arising from various accidental explosions on underground structures would be greatly reduce, if not completely eliminated
