This study is on assessing the knowledge, attitude and factors affecting team building activities amongst health workers in Nigeria. The objective of this study is to determine the equality on knowledge and attitude of team building activities between health workers of Anambra state and Delta State. The source of data for this study was questionnaire, administered randomly to a sample of 200 workers at Anambra State and a sample of 305 workers at the Delta State. The test statistic used was the permutation method for Hotelling T-squared. The result of the analysis showed that there exist a significant difference on knowledge, attitude and factors affecting team building in Anambra State and Delta State with a test statistic value of 8073.7 and a p-value of 0.00 for 10, 000 permutations. This result indicate that the obtained significant value of 0.00 fall on the rejection region of the hypothesis assuming a significance level of 5% (α = 0.05) and implies that there is significant difference on the knowledge, attitude and factors affecting team building in the two States. Suggestion for the management of health in Anambra State to encourage the practice of team building by either sponsoring training of staff on team building or organizing seminars that will enhance the practice of team building was made since as argued in the present study that the benefit of team building in any organization is to achieves cohesiveness, improve the team attitude, effectiveness and enhances productivity. Studies on assessing the knowledge, attitude and factors affecting team building in other professional sector such as education, finance and environment in Nigeria is seen as an area for future research.

This study examined the variability of physicochemical parameters at Obutu Lake, Ndikelionwu, Anambra State, Nigeria. The objective of the study was to determine the parameters that can adequately explain the variability of the physico-chemical parameters without loss of useful information. The data used in the study was obtained through secondary source. The Factor analysis and rank correlation was used to analyze the data for the study. Findings of the study revealed that inverse relationship exists among temperature and dissolved oxygen, Conductivity, alkalinity, Nitrate-nitrogen concentration, and Phosphate-phosphorus concentration while pH and transparency has positive relationship with temperature. Further result revealed that dissolved oxygen was found to have positive relationship with conductivity, alkalinity, Nitrate-nitrogen concentration and Phosphate-phosphorus concentration while transparency was found to have negative relationship with dissolved oxygen. Four factors were retained using the maximum likelihood extraction approach for the factor analysis because the factors were able to explain above 80% of total variability. Also, Phosphate-phosphorus conc., alkalinity, transparency, dissolved O2, Nitrate-nitrogen Conc. and conductivity were identified as the key physic chemical parameters that explained over 80% of the variability attributed to the model. Hence, Phosphatephosphorus conc., alkalinity, transparency, dissolved O2, Nitratenitrogen Conc. and conductivity are consistent in explaining the physic chemical parameters of Obutu Lake with loss of useful information.

The findings of the study showed that that five factors can be retained since their Eigen values were larger than 1 and they were able to explain about 89.71% of total variability in the model. It was further found that listed companies that explain over 50% of the variability attributed to the model were in the following order dangsugar, dnmeyer,
