The black cotton (expansive) soil was obtained from a borrow pit on the sedimentary formation at Idogo in Ogun State, South-Western Nigeria. The borrow site lies within the coordinates 6⁰ 50' 6" N and 2⁰ 58' 42" E. The black cotton soils used in the study were collected from depths between 0.3-1.0m below ground level. The palm kernel shell wastes were taken from palm oil producing plant along Ilaro-Owode Road, Ilaro, Ogun State, Nigeria. The quantity of water which was used to obtain optimum moisture content and maximum dry density for black cotton soil (i. e. control, 0%) was determined. This water was then used to run 90% consolidation tests. The palm kernel shells were broken into pieces passing through 5mm sieve and then substituted for black cotton soil from 0% to 50% at 10% intervals while 0% palm kernel shell substitution served as control experiment. In line with BS 1377 (1990) and other relevant codes, consolidation tests were conducted on the saturated and unsaturated composite materials of black cotton on sedimentary formation mixed varying degrees of palm kernel shells for the determination of consolidation parameters and possible settlement potentials. This will help to find a way of incorporating solid palm kernel shells into engineering advantage thereby helping to reduce the nuisance and menace caused by solid palm kernel shell waste in the environment and leading to a more stable environment.

The results indicated that for the 1hour soaked sample, the value of the coefficient of consolidation is within the range of 1.22 at 50% substitution to 1.68 at 10% substitution, while the range is 0.63 at 50% substitution to 1.60 at 20% substitution. Finally, from the results, coefficient of consolidation reduces as the percentage eggshell powder substitution increases.

It is against this background that it is been used as a stabilizing agent on problematic lateritic soil. The laterite soil was obtained from a borrow pit at Ajegunle along Ilaro-Papalanto road, Yewa South Local Government Area in Ogun State, Nigeria. The borrow pit site lies within the coordinates 6°53’11.81”N and 3°7’44.88”E.The eggshells were obtained from Obasanjo Farms Nigeria Limited, Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria and grounded to powder. In line with BS 1377 (1990) and other relevant codes of practice, consolidation tests on 1hour and 24hours soaked samples were conducted to determine the relevant consolidation parameters and settlement indices. Eggshell powder was substituted in the lateritic soil (sedimentary formation) in range of 0% to 50% with 0% serving as control experiment for both the 1-hour soaked and 24-hour soaked samples. The results indicated that for the 1hour soaked sample, the value of the coefficient of consolidation is within the range of 1.22 at 50% substitution to 1.68 at 10% substitution, while the range is 0.63 at 50% substitution to 1.60 at 20% substitution. Finally, from the results, coefficient of consolidation reduces as the percentage eggshell powder substitution increases.

The study aims to determine water use efficiency, as well as the effect of water stress on the yield of pepper under drip irrigation system. The study was conducted at the Agricultural and Bio-environmental Engineering Research Farm of the Federal Polytechnic Ilaro, Ogun State, Nigeria. Four irrigation treatments were investigated. The experiment had four irrigation levels. The first irrigation application treatment (A) consists of 100% of actual crop evapotranspiration (ET). The second (B) was 75% ET. The third (C) was 50% ET and fourth (D) consist of 25% ET. The experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications and 2 varieties of pepper: Capsicum annum and Capsicum frutescens. Irrigation applications were applied for 3 weeks after transplanting and thereafter continued for the whole growing season. Parameters such as such soil, agronomic and crop’s consumption water use were measured and the results subjected to statistical analysis. The results indicated that there was a significant difference between the WUE, yields and growth parameters under different levels of irrigation in the two pepper varieties. The results showed that water use efficiency, yields and other agronomic parameters such as plant height, number of leaves and fruit length and weight were higher during the studies periods for both pepper varieties under treatments A and B compared with other treatments C and D respectively. However, there was no significant difference in WUE of treatments A and B. Statistical analysis among the agronomic parameters showed a significant difference (p<0.05) in all the treatments. It was concluded that irrigating at 75% ET in the study area will result in water saving and maximum sustainable production of these pepper varieties.

In this study, internal control was measured by three components whereas organizational performance was measured through performance. The financial statements of the sample banks for a period of five years were used. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS). The statistical methods of correlation and one-way ANOVA were used for the testing of the research hypotheses. The results showed that control environment as a proxy for internal control had a significant positive effect on the performance of deposit money banks in Nigeria. The results further showed that the risk management as a proxy for internal control had a significant positive effect on efficiency of deposit money banks in Nigeria. In addition, the results showed that the information and communication system as a proxy for internal control had a significant positive effect on efficiency of deposit money banks in Nigeria. Hence it was concluded that internal control effectiveness has a positive relationship with the financial performance of the Deposits Money Banks. The detailed evaluation and understanding of the internal control system effectiveness and its components provided valuable insights to managers and employees of how they could manage or improve their control systems in order to achieve greater operational as well as organizational performance.

The study revealed that the five most preferred brands of malt drinks in Lagos State are Dubic Malt, Malta Guinness, Maltina, Amstel Malta and Beta Malt, in that order. The study also showed that the most influential factors in consumers’ decision to stick to their preferred brands are the perceived high brand quality and advertising. The study equally revealed that most of the consumers of branded malt drinks in Lagos State would not want to buy any other brand of malt drink even in the absence of their preferred brand. Based on the results of the study, it is very clear that brand loyalty exists among consumers of branded malt drinks in Lagos State.
