Published: October 2024

ASHA workers have been facing deprivation in the context of remuneration. The incentive paid to the ASHA workers is not sufficient for the amount of work ASHA workers are performing in the fields tirelessly. Several newspapers like The Times of India, Deccan Herald, and The Hindu etc., have covered the issues that ASHA workers have raised despite their dedication towards their services. ASHA workers have also gone for strikes citing their poor conditions. Jain et al. (2022) have constructed an earnings projection model and incentive structure that affect the motivation of community health workers. The ground-level issues pertain to challenges such as lack of motivation due to less incentive for the tasks performed. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Community health workers continued to provide services ranging from vaccinations to folic tablets to pregnant women. This paper discusses the plight of the community health workers (ASHA) in the select villages of Bageshwar district in Uttarakhand. The cross-sectional study was conducted from Feb 2021 to Aug 2023 in Bilonasera, Kathayatbara, and Manyura Mafi of Bageshwar districts. The field study discusses the narratives of the challenges and issues faced by grassroots-level workers. The study highlights the case –studies of the issues faced by the community health workers. Further, content analysis of the newspapers was done to explore the issue and reach the investigation. The study also presents recommendations on reforms in the wage structure and benefits to the accredited social health activists (ASHA).

Published: October 2024

The study examines the gendered path to the agricultural credit of legume farmers in Nigeria using a decision-making theory. Multistage sampling procedure was adopted which arrives at 1,137 female legume farmers for the study. Data were collected using interview schedule of a household head using Open data kit (ODK). It is then subjected to descriptive and inferential statistic (Logit regression). Credit institution availability in the respondents’ locality and Group membership were found to be positively significant (P≤0.01 and P≤ 0.1) respectively in influencing males to demand for credit. While only Credit institution availability in the respondents’ locality and age were found to be positively significant (P≤0.01 and P≤ 0.1) respectively in influencing females’ demand for credit The study further revealed that majority (84.16%) of males received agricultural credit through their friends and most (93.4%) of females received it through friends. few (13.4% of males and also 13.1% of female legume farmers) requested for agricultural credit in the study area. Also, among those that didn’t demanded for agricultural credit they did it for a reason, lack of money lenders accounted for 30% and 20.39% of males and females respectively. Lack of money lenders accounted for 30% and 20.39% of males and females respectively reason for refusing to request for agricultural credit. More so, majority (70% and 79.61% of males and female legume farmers) were in need of the credit but didn’t apply for some reasons. The study also revealed that out of 13.4% of males and also 13.1% of female legume farmers that requested for agricultural credit, majority (78.3 and 82.6% of male and females) got it. It is concluded that both gender have access to agricultural credit mostly through their friends. It is hence recommended that informal lenders should be encouraged through the appropriate policy framework to act as community level agents serving as intermediaries between borrowers in farming communities and the formal financial institutions based in the cities and towns across the country.

Published: October 2024

This paper examines the impact of inflation on compensation for crops and economic trees on land compulsorily acquired for public purposes in Niger State of Nigeria. The study utilised secondary data obtained from the Niger State Ministry of Lands and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). These include the current compensation rates for crops in the State, applicable since 2018 and food inflation rates in the country from 2018 when the compensation rates for crops and economic trees in the state were last reviewed till date. It argues that the current compensation rates payable by the government for crops in the State do not incorporate the impact of inflation in its computation and as such cannot adequately compensate the claimants (farmers) in the present inflationary economy. It found that the overall proportion of compensation for crops lost to inflation by farmers in the State is about 148.56% of the actual compensation approved by the government. The variation between the approved compensation and inflation – adjusted compensation was also found to be statistically significant for crops ( ) and economic trees ( ) respectively. It concludes that compensation for crops and economic trees on farmlands in the State compulsorily acquired by the government for overriding public purposes should be computed based on inflation – adjusted compensation rates (IACR) so as to adequately compensate the farmers for the compulsory acquisition of their crops and economic trees in an inflationary economy and to enable them reinvest their capital in alternative agricultural investments elsewhere.

Published: October 2024

The study examines the impact of economic infrastructure investment on economic growth in Nigeria using data from 1980 to 2021. Real gross domestic product was used as proxy for economic growth. The RGDP was specified as a function of government expenditure on road transportation infrastructure, telecommunication infrastructure, electricity infrastructure and water supply infrastructure. An Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model was applied with 4 lags on the maximum dependent variables and co-integration to examined the impact and the long run relationship between dependent and independent variables. The stationarity test carried out, using Augment Dickey-Fuller (ADF) revealed that all the variables were all stationary at first difference 1(1), implying that the variables contains unit root and statistically significant at both 1 percent and 5 percent level of significance. Results of the parameter estimates based on the most consistent and efficient estimation; it was discovered that road transportation infrastructure were found to have positive but statistically insignificant with the estimated coefficient of 0.075947 (p=0.043 <0.05). It was equally discovered that telecommunication and water supply infrastructure were found to have strong positive and statistically significant with estimated coefficient of 0.077978 (p= 0.033<0.05 and 0.076723 (p=0.134>0.05) respectively. While electricity infrastructure was found to have a negative and insignificant relationship with economic growth with estimated coefficient of -0.051186 (p=0.044 <0.05). The estimation showed that all the variables are co-integrated; meaning that there exists long run equilibrium relationship among the variables. Thus, it was recommended that for Nigeria to achieved infrastructure development to triggered economic growth and development, government should increase its budgetary allocation on the various components of infrastructures for development.

Published: October 2024

The experiment was carried out at the Teaching and Research Farm, Department of Animal Production, ATBU Bauchi, to study the effects of five industrial feeds on the growth performance, carcass yields and cost benefit of broiler chickens. Two hundred and twenty-five (225) day old broiler chicks were randomly allotted to the five diets in a completely randomized design (CRD) with forty five (45) chicks per diet in three replicates of fifteen (15) chicks each. Feed and water were supplied ad-libitum and the feeding trial lasted for 6 weeks. The proximate compositions of the selected feeds indicated that all of the feeds meet the nutritional requirements of broiler chickens. The crude protein contents of the starter feeds ranges from 19 to 23 and that of finisher ranges between 17 to 20. Results of starter phase showed high significant difference (P<0.01) on daily feed intake (65.29-75.15g) and daily weight gain (40.99-53.86g). However, daily feed intake at finisher phase were highly significant (P<0.001) with values ranging between 157.10 - 177.74g on diets D1 and D2 respectively. Also, the overall performance showed a significant (P<0.05) difference on feed conversion ratio (1.60-1.94). There is no significant (P>0.05) difference on most of the carcass parameters except on lungs weight (0.48-0.69%) and abdominal fat (0.71-156%) which were significant at P<0.05 and P<0.001 respectively. The best feed cost per kg gain of ₦852.37 was obtained on D5 with the highest total weight gain (2.91kg). Based on the result of this study, industrial feeds enhanced growth performance and carcass yield without negative impact on broiler birds. However, D5 was most economical and recommended for poultry producers in the study area.
