The examined the effect of structural adjustment programme on the performance of small and medium scale enterprises in Nigeria. The research design adopted for the study is ex-post facto and the population of this is all the small and medium scale enterprises in Nigeria. The population of the study is 72838 and was used as the sample size. Structural adjustment programme was measured by import substitution policy and export promotion policy and small and medium scale enterprise performance was measured by SMEs output. The study covered a period of 32 years from 1986-2017. The statistical tools adopted in this study were descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, unit root test and Regression.

The study also found that LIM has a positive and significant effect on LSMEOPT in Nigeria. Also, LEX has a negative and significant effect on LSMEOPT in Nigeria.

The study assessed China- Nigeria trade relations covering a period of 29 years from 1990 to 2018. The study adopted the ex-post facto research design and obtained data for export and import transactions from the Central Bank of Nigeria statistical bulletin. The study used T-test, charts, and tables to address the engagement of China-Nigeria trade relations. The study used Microsoft excel software package and statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 20 to analysis the data. The study found that Nigeria has not gained from trade relations with China from 1990 to 2018 and it is only China that benefited from trade relations with Nigeria from 1990 to 2018. The study recommended that the Nigerian Government should re-strategise its industrial sector to enable the country to manufacture industrial goods and manufactured consumable goods as well as medical equipment to export to China. They should try to discover what type of industrial goods that China does not well produce and should re-strategise to produce it with low labour and low capital. The Chinese Government should continue to import goods to Nigeria since they are the ones benefiting from trade relations in Nigeria from 1990 to 2018. They should also encourage the Nigerian government to produce and manufacture industrial goods so that they can face a little competitive with Nigeria in the future for improvement of their products.

The term strategy and structure is said to be a result of decision making by managers through analysing the firm's performance, market, segmenting the market, selecting the market, positioning themselves and using resources to implement the process. The paper seeks to examine the effects of strategy and structure on organizational performance using exploratory analysis of data of Remou Oil Nig. Ltd with an interview with management staff. The population is 50 and sample size is based on purposive sampling which are 10. It is discovered that strategy and structure are interdependent variables that firms must always consider when introducing new action or plan. It was also found that there is a positive relationship between structure and strategy that determine firm's performance in terms of net profit. Therefore, if a firm's structure change, strategies will also changes with changing demand and that structure affects strategy and the two variables determine the performance of a firm if properly matched and monitored. The recommendation is that: Remou Oil Nigeria Limited should use both structure and strategy as a source of increasing organizational performance in terms of profit since positive relationship exists between line structure and product differentiation strategy in Remou Oil Nig. Ltd. They should try to combine these variables together to enhance returns in terms of investment, equity, asset and net profit.
