    Evaluation of the Implementation of Automotive Mechatronic Programme in Vocational Enterprise Institutions in Nigeria
    (International Journal of Industrial Technology Education, Engineering, Science and Education (IJITESED), 2021) Igwe, C. O.; Abdulkadir, M.; Mustafa, A.; Nma, T. N.; Aliyu, T.; Nma, Y. A.
    The study was designed to evaluate the implementation of automotive mechatronics programme of the Vocational Enterprise Institutions (VEIs) in Nigeria. Two research questions and two null hypotheses guided the study. A descriptive survey research design was employed for the study. The study was conducted in three VEIs offering automotive mechatronics programme in FCT Abuja and Kaduna State. A total of 90 respondents comprising of 14 administrators 32 instructors and 44 technical staff drawn from the three National Board for Technical Education accredited Vocational Enterprise Institutions offering Automotive Mechatronics Programme in Federal Capital Territory, Abuja and Kaduna State was used as a total population for the study, A structured questionnaire titled: Automotive Mechatronics Programme Evaluation Implementation Questionnaire (AMPEIQ) developed by the researchers and validated by three experts from Industrial and Technology Education Department, Federal University of Technology, Minna was used for data collected for the study. The reliability coefficient of the instrument was 0.78 using Cronbach Alpha statistics. Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS Version 23) was used for the data analysis. Mean, standard deviation, frequency and percentage were the statistical tools used for answering research questions while ANOVA Statistics was used to analyze the null hypotheses formulated for the study at 0.05 level of significant. The findings of the study revealed among others that: the available training equipment/facilities were rarely often used and most teaching methods needed for effective implementation of automotive mechatronics programme were rarely often used. Based on the findings it was recommended that: The VEIs in FCT Abuja and Kaduna State should adhere to the NBTE minimum requirement of training equipment/facilities for the implementation of the automotive mechatronics programmes, the available training equipment/facilities in the VEIs in FCT Abuja and Kaduna State should be effectively utilized for the implementation of the automotive mechatronics programmes, the automotive mechatronics instructors/technical staff of the VEIs in FCT Abuja and Kaduna State should be encourage to adopt wide range of teaching methods in teaching automotive mechatronics.

    Implementation of E-Procurement in Public Building Projects of the Federal Capital Territory Administration, Abuja
    (Environmental Technology & Science Journal, 2020-12) Saidu I., Abubakar M.I., Ola-Awo W.A., Oke A.A. & Alumbugu P.O
    The traditional procurement system adopted in the delivery of building construction projects by the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) is frequently challenged with problems of transparency, accountability, fraud, corruption, among others. These have negatively affected the outcome of many construction projects, and thereby calling for eprocurement technology. Thus, this study examined the approaches for implementation of eprocurement in building construction projects in FCTA, with a view to mitigating procurement fraud in the sector. The study adopted a survey design approach using quantitative research method. One hundred and twenty-seven (127) questionnaires were administered to procurement staff of the FCTA secretariat, out of which 125 questionnaires were returned and found valid for analysis. The collected data using a stratified sampling method were analysed using the Mean Item Score (MIS), Relative Importance Index (RII) and Kruskal-Wallis Test. The study found that Good governance in reduction of collusion among bidders (4.65); transparency and openness of information on public procurement (4.54); and Cost and time savings in sending tender evaluation reports to approving authority (4.51), were the main prospects of implementing e-procurement in the FCTA. Among the important action plans for effective implementation of e-procurement system included: Development of a plan and commitment of resources towards the e-procurement project, with RII value of 0.96; Development of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure success against identified procurement goals (RII: 0.87); and Securing executive sponsorship for the e-procurement initiative (0.87). There was consistency in the views of the majority of procurement staff with regards to the responses provided. The research concluded that implementation of eprocurement technology for building projects in the FCTA would translate into a major reduction in procurement fraud in the sector. The study recommended that both the Federal and State Governments should come up with policies and frameworks that will mandate FCTA construction projects to be procured through e-procurement platform.
