“…The species is rare and is not locally common even in most savanna habitats of the country, including some protected areas such as Kainiji Lake National Park (Amusa and Jimoh 2010). Another unnoticed or unreported threat confronting this species is the massive cutting of the tree to make a wooden slate locally called Allo in the Hausa language (Verbal Commons and Field Obs), which is usually used in the Tsangaya School known as Makarantar Allo or traditional Qur'anic school (Idriss and Hamzah 2021). However, Crossopteryx febrifuga was most recently assessed for the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species in 2018.…”

Nigeria is one of the most floristic rich countries on the continent of Africa due to the variation in climate, which favors the growth of several species. Sadly, its biodiversity is one of the most threatened in the world, mainly due to deforestation and various unsustainable land use patterns, which are human activities. However, these anthropogenic activities are more prevalent in Nigeria's northern savanna zone (NSZ). In this study, we present the first regional conservation assessments and red listing of tree species in the northern savanna zone (NSZ) of Nigeria according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) criteria and categories. We recorded 31 tree species as the most utilized in the region. For the assessments, we provided the fundamental taxonomic information of each species, their local names, and their uses. This study provided the extent of occurrence, area of occupancy, population size and trend, description of habitats, and ecological requirements and discussion of the threats affecting each species and their habitats. We further inform conservation actions and research activities needed to ensure the future of the tree species and their sustainable uses. Overall, approximately 97% of the taxa were evaluated as threatened (41% as endangered, 31% as critically endangered, 24% as vulnerable, and 4% as least concerned). Therefore, we recommend the adoption of the risk status of the species to develop sound conservation strategies and measures for the management of flora in this inundated region.

The school principal's assessment is excellent and capable if he can advance the school and accommodate interests related to the surrounding community (Idriss & Hamzah, 2021). The principal has the task of managing the school so that it can cooperate and have close relations with the community.…”

This research is quantitative research with ex post facto research. The variables analyzed were not controlled and modified by the researcher, but the facts were revealed based on measuring the symptoms that have been owned or testing what will happen. The path analysis technique was used to investigate the pattern of relationships between variables to know the direct and indirect effects between endogenous and exogenous factors. Research results indicated that the exogenous component that had more substantial direct effect on the principal’s work motivation was the innovative behavior of the principle, interpersonal communication abilities, and the relatively less influential variable was the school’s organizational culture. Meanwhile, exogenous characteristics that had more substantial direct effect on the success of school principals are the school’s organizational culture, the principal’s work drive, innovative conduct and the lowest interpersonal communication abilities.
