Unbiased Gender Education as a Remedy for Social Inequality in Nigeria

Gender biases exist in form of laws and customs that continue to impede female access to make imputes into developmental process Economic and domestic workloads also impose severe time burden on the feminine gender Educationally feminine gender have mostly affected by these negative factors as the National literacy rate for female is lower compared to that of males In certain states of the federation the female literacy enrolment and achievement rates are much lower This is against the fact that education is a basic and fundamental right of all citizens This study examines whether or not gender roles assigned to feminine gender affect their school performance the extent gender is used to discriminate feminine gender for access to school Findings from this study include Assisting in rearing the going ones is time consuming and it affects educationally performance of girl child or no payment of school fees and sexual harassment For gender social equality to be achieved and sustained there is the need for female education to fill the gap Negative cultures should be adjusted teachers should stop devaluing girls by and gender equality should be adhered to in any society ridiculing them and enhancement of women educatio

Solving the Pro Bono Mismatch

The pro bono interests of law firm lawyers tend to differ from the actual legal needs of the poor. This difference results in the mismatch problem or the incongruence between the interests of firm lawyers and the needs of the poor. Today, the mismatch problem has resulted in law firm lawyers\u27 increased demand of immigration matters while legal needs are greatest in housing and family law. This leaves nonprofit legal services organizations scrambling to find pro bono representation for poor clients or otherwise relying on very limited resources to represent poor clients. The literature on the mismatch problem is lacking in important ways. First, there is a lack of understanding about how the interests of individual lawyers factor into the selection of pro bono matters. Second, there is no understanding about how law firm culture impacts the choice of pro bono work for firms and individual lawyers. Third, the literature does not include how the political climate impacts the choice of pro bono work within firms. Finally, the literature is devoid of normative suggestions to remedy the problem. Through an interview-based empirical exploration, this research explains how individual lawyers impact the choice of pro bono work, how law firm culture impacts pro bono choices, and how the political climate directly shapes what lawyers choose to do for pro bono legal representation. To solve the pro bono mismatch, I make three proposals: (1) modification of the language of the American Bar Association\u27s Model Rule of Professional Conduct 6.1, which provides that lawyers have a professional responsibility to provide pro bono legal services; (2) creation and implementation of macro-level pay for preference; and (3) creation and implementation of micro-level \u27ay for preference regimes in law firms to nudge lawyers to consider the greatest legal needs in their choices of pro bono legal representatio

Racial Allies

Racial allies are white individuals and institutions that actively work to dismantle systems of racial inequality and the consequences of poverty that disproportionately impact communities of color and that are willing to both confer and share power with members of subjugated groups. There is no other sector of the legal profession that professes to be racial allies more than individuals and institutions within the public interest law sector. Yet, these institutions that address structural racism and disproportionately serve communities of color appear not to share power with racial and ethnic minorities. The public interest law sector has been at the forefront of economic and racial justice both historically and in modern times, including as abolitionist lawyers, civil rights lawyers, and lawyers challenging economic inequality, the eviction crisis, and immigration. Probably because of their perceived roles as racial allies, there has been scholarly and practitioner neglect to examine their allyship. In this Article, I make a number of groundbreaking contributions to the literature. First, I conduct the first systemic investigation of race and ethnicity using the largest dataset of the individuals and groups with relative power in the public interest law sector—CEOs, boards of directors, and large-firm pro bono partners and counsel. The novel dataset contains 650 institutions and over 10,000 individuals. I also interviewed a subset of CEOs and board members. With these data, I show—for the first time—the lack of racial and ethnic diversity among the CEOs of public interest legal organizations (PILOs), PILO boards of directors, and pro bono partners and counsel who lead the public interest sector. Second, although there may be other reasons, I highlight five possible explanations for the problem. Third, I suggest potential policy responses for each of the identified theories. I also advance reasons why racial diversity in public interest law is important and highlight areas for further research on diversity in the sector

Response of shooting hormones on the stem cuttings of Khaya ivorensis A. Chev.

The study investigated the effect of different hormones on the stem cuttings of Khaya ivorensis. The experiment was made up of five treatments which are (treatment one) Benzyl Amino Purine at 0.01gm/m level of concentration, (treatment two) kinetin at 0.01gm/m level of concentration, (treatment three) combination of both kinetin and benzyl amino purine, (treatment four) coconut water, and (treatment five) distilled water. The experimental design was completely randomized design (CRD). The result obtained showed that kinetin at 0.01gm/m level of concentration had the best performance of shoot height (13.04cm) while the least was the distilled water (4.27cm), combination of both kinetin and benzyl amino purine (6.54) gave the best performance in terms of number of leaves and the least was distilled water (4.68). For stem diameter, kinetin had the best performance (0.34mm) while the least was coconut water and distilled water (0.26mm). Based on the result of this study, it is concluded that kinetin is the best hormone for raising Khaya ivorensis and further study is recommended to be carried out at higher concentrations to determine the best concentration of hormones for optimal growth.Keywords: Phyto-hormones, vegetative propagation, stem cuttings, Khaya ivorensi

Policy and Agricultural Extension Programs: Implication for Improved Agricultural Production in Nigeria

The Nigerian agricultural sector is said to be the supposed highest employer of labour and also gives the country a huge earnings but it presents a mixed result of good and not-too-good scenarios given the expected fortune which is compounded by mirage of challenges, ranging from poor or lack of knowledge and information needed by the rural farmers who are the majority in the agricultural production chain. This problem has therefore raised the need for the integration of Agricultural Extension Programs/Workers for of a result driven agricultural production. Given this position, this paper examines the interconnectivity between a holistic policy framework that addresses agricultural extension program and the application of same in the enhancement of agricultural production for improved individual, national earnings, and food security. It also appreciates the fact that Nigeria’s agricultural sector presents a formidable environment for improved productivity when the place of policies are systematically developed to cater for the need of the rural farmers who are the core actors in the country’s agricultural production process through a workable agricultural extension programs. Data were sourced from the internet, journals, government papers and were subjected to thematic analysis. The paper recommends amongst other things, that; a workable environment should be created by government where the agricultural extension workers can objectively undertake the various extension programs and policies that will impact positively on the rural farmers whose productivity is consequent upon the quality of information and knowledge available to them.

Disclosing Corporate Diversity

This Article’s central claim is that disclosures can be used instrumentally to increase diversity in corporate America in terms of race, gender, sexual orientation, and disability. Until recently, scholars and policymakers have underappreciated this possibility because diversity was often omitted from the larger Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) disclosures context, even though, as this Article empirically shows, public companies make diversity disclosures in that context. Diversity disclosures are important not only for shareholders’ interests in transparency, but also for the benefit of other stakeholders, including employees, customers, and the communities in which companies operate, who want to know whether companies are diverse to determine where to work, what brands to buy, and what companies value. The literature has yet to explore the significance of diversity disclosures for the benefit of all these stakeholders. This Article argues that legal reform is needed to use disclosures to improve corporate diversity for the benefit of all stakeholders. Policy-makers must go beyond the confines of the securities laws to translate disclosure into societal change. This Article examines contemporary law and policy approaches that fall short of having forward-looking provisions that would have an impact on improving diversity. It proposes disclosure rules with statistical and forward-looking provisions and mechanisms that shareholder and employee activists, and others, can use to pressure companies to improve diversity incrementally
