“…In general, this practice has led to poor standards of living in the country (Abu and Staniewski, 2019). However, the government have been making efforts to reduce the corruption rate, but greed, ostentatious lifestyle, customs, tribalism and the attitude of citizens still make the practice to persistently increase in the country (Akindola, 2017).…”

PurposeIn this paper, we investigate the impact of remittances on control of corruption in Nigeria for a period of 1986–2016.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses ARDL modeling framework, dynamic OLS estimation, variance decomposition and impulse response analysis to examine the relationship between the two variables.FindingsThe study finds that remittances significantly improve the control of corruption in Nigeria. We further examine the robustness test of the results using dynamic OLS estimation, variance decomposition and impulse response analysis. Our results remain significant and consistent to the earlier one reported in ARDL framework which supports the extant literature.Practical implicationsOur study suggests that international remittances can be used, through the cross-border transfer of norms and practices, to significantly impact the socioeconomic progresses of a country by reducing corruption.Originality/valueThe existing studies on the relationship between corruption and remittances document conflicting results. In addition, study on corruption - remittances nexus that specifically focuses on any African country is largely absent despite the fact that most of the countries in the region are recognized as highly corrupt. This paper provides insights on how remittances can be used as part of tool kits to control corruption in African nation.

“…Nigeria sets a good context for investigating students' perception of CSR because of its infamous reputation for corruption 2 . The country's polity is characterized by acts of nepotism, which often divides the citizenry along the lines of tribe, region, and religion (Akindola & Ehinomen, 2017; Carnegie Endowment, 2019). Public officials often demand bribes from businesses and individuals who need the services or the protection of government institutions (UNODC, 2019).…”

Studies on students' perception of corporate social responsibility (CSR) have been growing in western scholarship. For students in African countries, such as Nigeria, there is little that is known about how and whether gender, level of study, and being enrolled in business education courses impact their perception of and disposition towards CSR. This study explores the significance of gender, academic status or level of study, and exposure to business ethics education (BEE) on Nigerian students' perception of CSR as a veritable business ethic. Specifically, the effects of these factors on students' perception of CSR are examined using analysis of variance. The results show a significant effect of exposure to BEE and gender on CSR‐sensitivity, and a mild, but significant effect of academic status. This implies that male students and female students had different perspectives on CSR issues. Students who took ethics courses and those who did not would run businesses differently. However, age and experience on campus did not influence students' perception or position on CSR. The study recommends that more behavioral models be estimated with the inclusion of more demographic and socioeconomic variables to elicit more robust results.

This study investigated the relationship between household food insecurity and nutrition status with a focus on the implications for child survival. Data were collected on 746 women of child-bearing age (15 -49 years) in five states in south western Nigeria. The study finds that household food security increased with income and education. The findings show that child survival is not only about improving nutrition status in the household or improving household food security, but also activities that mothers undertake to enhance child survival. Contribution/ OriginalityThis study is important in that information on the effects of household food insecurity will benefit policy makers who are currently interested in strategies for improving household food availability, accessibility and safety. The study will also bring the current information about the most vulnerable group of people in the household, "the very young ones".
