Gender identities are expressions of masculine or feminine natures and interpreted within socio-cultural contexts. In this study, gender identities, domestic space utilisation and gender roles among staff of Osun State University, Osogbo, Nigeria were identified and analysed. With the aid of pre-tested questionnaires, primary data were collected using multi-stage sampling technique from 222 out of 675 staff members of Osun State University Osogbo. Secondary data were obtained from the Academic Planning Unit of the University and Osun State Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning. Descriptive statistics such as frequency and percentage tables, cross tabulation, and Bem Androgyny Model were utilized for the analysis of data obtained. Findings on individual gender identities showed that 1.3% of the respondents were masculine, 36% were feminine while 62.7% of the respondents were androgynous. Majority of the males and females were androgynous however some males were feminine although no female was masculine. Remarkably, only 2.2% of the males were masculine. These findings further confirm that most individuals possess a combination of feminine and masculine traits known as androgyny, and that individuals? gender identities do not necessarily correspond with their biological sex. Results also showed that domestic space utilisation and domestic gender roles varied with individual gender identities rather than just gender (being male or female). The study concluded that gender identities are important to the concept of gender-integrated housing design. Therefore gender-responsive housing designed to equitably meet the needs of men and women should be encouraged.

The study deals with the possibility of reducing higher ratio of dependence on importation of food through the replacement of foreign products with locally produced and processed food products. In order to accomplish the objectives of the study, both primary and secondary data had been used. Accordingly, a multi-stage sampling technique was utilized to select the sample size. Descriptive and inferential statistics were eventually applied to the primary data collected. The results indicated undoubtedly that the locally produced and processed salad competed favourably and suitably with foreign salad products in terms of colour, odour, taste, and other sensory parameters evaluated accordingly. The orthodox budget analysis indicated that garden egg salad was more profitable than imported cabbage salad. The correlation outcome value of +1 indicated that local salad stands as a perfect substitute for foreign salad. Therefore, the phasing out of foreign salad so as to replace it with locally sourced salad is quite feasible. It had therefore been obviously and clearly established in this study that imported cabbage could be replaced with locally produced garden egg salad, thereby indicating that reducing the degree of dependence on food importation is absolutely viable.

This paper assesses the effectiveness of Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) in Ghana’s Northern Region in mobilising internally generated funds (IGF) to finance development projects. The study gathered both primary and secondary data from three MMDAs: Tamale Metropolitan Assembly, Yendi Municipal Assembly and Saboba District Assembly. It employed a multi-stage sampling technique of questionnaires, interviews, focus groups and key informant interviews to collect data from respondents and obtain a snapshot of their situation in the 2013 fiscal year. It established that fines, property rates, licences, annual rates, investment income, permits, sales of tender documents, and business taxes were potential sources of revenue for the assemblies. Also, the study identified a range of strategies employed by assemblies to raise revenue: engagement of revenue collectors, use of a mobile revenue taskforce, registration of businesses, visits to markets and business centres, commission payments for revenue collectors, security checkpoints, incentivisation of revenue collectors, establishment of revenue collection points, and rotation of revenue collectors. Nevertheless, the study found that the MMDAs studied could not meet their IGF revenue targets for the 2013 fiscal year, with all three falling below 50%. This poor performance was attributed to: inadequate logistics to support effective IGF mobilisation; under-declaring of revenues; not enough revenue collectors; poor supervision and monitoring; poor compliance by ratepayers; corruption; political interference; inadequate knowledge and skills among revenue collectors; poor service delivery by the assemblies; ineffective collaboration; and lack of revenue data.
