“…The development of the structured questionnaire was informed by a comprehensive assessment of relevant literature. The questionnaire was designed by using a 5-point Likert Scale, which allows respondents to indicate the extent to which they disagree or agree with the statements or opinion stated in the items (Olu, Yusuf, Ojo, & Ajibulu, 2022). According to Yasmin and Ferdaous (2023) and Malhotra and Dash (2011), the advantage of utilising scale is its appropriateness in the application of various statistical tools used in research studies.…”

This study aimed to investigate the perspective of Nigeria North-eastern federal tertiary institution employees on the Nigeria PRA 2014, as well as the behavioural factors that influence their selection of Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs). The data was collected from 307 respondents using a well-structured questionnaire. This study incorporates various behavioural factors, including retirement planning behaviour, risk tolerance, attitude towards the future, and financial literacy, along with employees’ perspectives on the PRA 2014. This objective considered the influence of these factors on the employee choice of PFAs. The findings reveal that employee perspective on PRA 2014 and employee choice of PFA share a significant relationship. Additionally, the results of the multiple regression revealed that behavioural factors have a significant impact on employees' selection of PFAs. The model that investigates the effect of education qualification on the behavioural factors influencing the employees’ choice of PFA reveals that educational qualification does not significantly affect behavioural factors towards employees' choice of PFAs. The employees' opinion on the PRA of 2014, as it relates to addressing issues with the pension scheme, and the influence of behavioural factors have a notable impact on the selection of Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs) by employees.

The knowledge of anyone about the environment will be the basis in determining how he/she acts regarding environmental hazards. With environmental health been promoted, threats subsist mainly because of individual’s behavior and practices in reaction to likely health hazards. This study aims at assessing University of Abuja undergraduate students' (those living outside the school hostel) level of knowledge and associated practices of environmental health with their day-to-day activities. The data for the study was collected using 3 sections (demographic attribute, Knowledge of the Students about the Environment and Environment Practices by the Students) well-structured questionnaire. The findings shows that participants lack general knowledge concerning environmental health-related challenges. The male gender scores (M=69.91, SD=9.9) and Female (M=70.31, SD=10.3) were found not to be significant, t(238) = -0.309, p > 0.05 with their environmental health knowledge. The interconnection between environment knowledge and practices shares a positive correlation between them (r = 0.206, n = 240, p =0 .05) and statistically significant. It could be submitted that the undergraduate students in this study do not have much knowledge about the environment. Since knowledge influence an individual’s style and practice, persisting efforts and dedication in environmental health education ought to be more pronounce and reflect identified environmental health practices and ways to improve

With an agency established to oversee and regulate GMOs, the extent to which field practitioners align with the biosafety and biosecurity measures of GMOs in Nigeria remains a critical question. This study seeks to explore the perspectives of field practitioners with GMOs concerns with the technology, political and safety aspects within the Nigerian context. This research evaluation was conducted over four months (March to June 2022). It involved the distribution of questionnaires to 234 individuals, encompassing biosafety, biotechnology, and biosecurity practitioners in Abuja, Nigeria. The loadings of items have intrinsic consistency within the range of 0.733 to 0.875. Majority of the respondents expressed the view that Nigeria politicians and public interest groups were concerned about the potential allergenicity and antimicrobial resistance associated with GMOs. Three predictors: Perception on GMOs (Wald=0.031), GMOs safety assessment (Wald=0.674), and Regulation of GMOs (Wald=0.004) at df=1 have no significant effects on attacks related to GMOs as 92.3% of the respondents claimed not to suffer any attack related to GMOs products. Working experience [F (4, 233) =0.228, p=0.923] interaction with perception on GMOs was statistically not significant. The political class and public interest groups worries about GMOs products (Covariance= 5.509) share positive but not significant correlation at p=0.057 with Regulation of GMOs (Covariance= 7.841). Finally, GMOs and their products exist in Nigeria alongside a reliable regulatory body which had put up biosafety and biosecurity guidelines in controlling all GMOs related activities in order to make the environment safer and boost the populace confidence in GMOs
