    Using a teaching model framework, we systematically review empirical evidence on the impact of entrepreneurship education (EE) in higher education on a range of entrepreneurial outcomes, analyzing 159 published articles from 2004 to 2016. The teaching model framework allows us for the first time to start rigorously examining relationships between pedagogical methods and specific outcomes. Reconfirming past reviews and meta-analyses, we find that EE impact research still predominantly focuses on short-term and subjective outcome measures and tends to severely underdescribe the actual pedagogies being tested. Moreover, we use our review to provide an up-to-date and empirically rooted call for less obvious, yet greatly promising, new or underemphasized directions for future research on the impact of university-based entrepreneurship education. This includes, for example, the use of novel impact indicators related to emotion and mind-set, focus on the impact indicators related to the intention-to-behavior transition, and exploring the reasons for some contradictory findings in impact studies including person-, context-, and pedagogical model-specific moderator

    The adoption of electronic government (or e-government) by any country is a direct implication that the majority of its citizens; if not all must possess high level of computer literacy. This paper therefore investigates the computer literacy levels of primary school teachers in Bida with a view to find out their degree of acceptance of e-governance as a system. The study uses descriptive survey of a hundred (100) teachers who were randomly selected from 10 schools in Bida as respondents. The research instrument used was a selfreporting questionnaire titled: Teachers Computer Literacy Questionnaire (TCLQ) with internal consistency of 0.65. The result, which was presented using group percentages and barcharts, shows that there is high level of computer literacy among the teachers as well as revealing highest percentage of respondents with positive feelings for e-products- a factor of acceptance of e-governance

    People increasingly embark on tourism because of the huge economic benefits, which it accrues on daily basis without considering the impact on the tourism sites, which are always ecologically fragile. The study examined the management ethics and strategies adopted and maintained to harmonize income generation, conservation, ecological impact, visitor number, quality of visitor's experience and chances of citing games at the Jos Wildlife Park (JWLP) which have enabled it to remain open since the year 1977 till date. Data for the study were obtained through observations, in-depth interviews and review of records. Results show that species are subjected to intensive, semi intensive and extensive systems of management. Jos Wildlife Park is rich in various endangered, rare, vulnerable and abundant species of wildlife. Irrespective of season, games are viewed at ease in the park from 10.00am to 6.00pm everyday. Some animal species are managed under more than one system. The park is congested and polluted during festivities. Many animal species such as the Lion (Panthera leo), Pigmy hippopotamus (Choeropsis liberiensis), Derby eland (Taurotragus derbianus), Leopard (Panthera pardus), etc. have bred in the park. The park was gazzetted in 1972 for the purposes of conservation, education and tourism. Thus suggestions have been made towards ensuring that the conservation objectives are not compromised in the face of increasing revenue generation.
