The study investigated strategic innovation and sustainable economic performance of manufacturing sector in Rivers State. It adopted the correlational research design and operationalized the innovation into the variables of product innovation, technological innovation, and social innovation with sustainable economic performance as the dependent variable. The population of the study was 150 which consisted of staff of manufacturing companies operating in Rivers State. The sample size of 150 was used adopting the census sampling technique in which the entire population was used. A questionnaire instrument tagged, Strategic Innovation and Sustainable Economic Performance (SISEP) was used and calibrated into modified Likert scale of Very High Extent (4), High Extent (3), Low Extent (2), Very Low Extent (1). The three research questions were answered using Mean and Standard Deviation at mean criterion of 2.5, while the null hypotheses were tested using Pearson Product Correlation Coefficient (PPMC) at .05 significance level. The findings of the study showed that the variables of strategic innovation significantly relate to sustainable economic performance in manufacturing companies in Rivers State. The study concluded that if marketing innovative measures of product design or innovation, appropriate technology and social innovation are applied sustainably, will lead to improved economic performance of manufacturing companies in Rivers State. It recommended among others that, manufacturing companies in Rivers State should from time-to-time train and retrain their staff on modern technological innovations to improve on their economic performance.

Dance drama, as one of the oldest art forms, is always appreciated due to its rich aesthetic values. This work is set to analyze and evaluate the aesthetic values associated with dance drama. One of the entertainment genres, dance drama, has provided prerequisite aesthetic pleasures to the audience over time. We Are Rivers is one of the performances that popularizes the creative presence and chronicles issues and activities of Rivers State from the pre-colonial, colonial, and post-colonial eras. The cardinal aim of this paper is to examine the aesthetic values, such as gestures, dance steps, costumes, body movements, and symbols, amongst others, that characterized the dance drama. Dance drama does not only provide entertainment and relaxation to the audience alone; it engages in communicating ideas and emotions and feelings as well as documenting and presenting historical activities. This is quite evident in Julie Okoh’s We Are Rivers. The work employs Rudolf Laban’s dance theory as a roadmap of critical analysis of the topic under examination. The modest recommendation of this paper is that playwrights and institutions of arts and culture should write and present dance drama performances to the audience, as it goes a long way in reviving the dance dramatic genre as one of the vibrant art forms. This unique art form, when sufficiently explored, becomes a vibrant vehicle for entertainment, information, and education for society.

Nigeria’s economy has undergone periods of turbulence, influenced by factors like volatile oil prices, rising inflation, and fluctuations in the exchange rate. The focus of the study was to analyze the role of macroeconomic variables and institutional quality in attracting foreign direct investment in Nigeria from 1996 to 2023. Various econometric and statistical techniques were employed Considering the behavioral pattern of the variables used for estimation, this study adopted Autoregressive Distributed Lagged model (ARDL). The findings of the analysis show that the lagged values of FDI positively influence current FDI levels, the exchange rate (EXR)) has a negative and significant effect suggesting that past exchange rate values negatively impact FDI, Inflation (INF) and interest rate (INT) coefficients are not statistically significant, indicating they do not have a strong direct influence on FDI, Institutional quality (IQ) shows a mixed impact, with the current value, and its lagged value approaching significance but not quite reaching it. In the light of the findings and analysis of this research, the researcher recommends that given the negative and significant impact of exchange rate on FDI, policymakers should prioritize stabilizing the exchange rate. This can be achieved through prudent monetary and fiscal policies, as well as interventions in the foreign exchange market when necessary. Stabilizing the exchange rate will reduce investment uncertainty and create a more conducive environment for foreign investors.

This two-season field experiment investigated the impact of spacing and variety on maize (Zea mays L.) growth and yield in Makurdi, Nigeria. Two maize varieties (Sammaz 51 and Sammaz 14) were evaluated at three spacing regimes (15, 20, and 25 cm). A randomized complete block design with three replications was employed. Physiological and yield-related traits were assessed, including, plant height, the number of leaves, stem diameter, and adventitious roots per plant, were measured. Other characters like stem girth, Adventurous root, Cob length, Cob diameter, Number of line per cob, Number of cob/plant, number of seed per cob, Shelling (%), 1000 seed weight and Yield (t/ha) were also recorded. The results of the investigation revealed that maize generally responded to both spacing and variety. All the parameters studies have significantly (P ≤ 0.05) responded to varietal effects, the use of Sammaz 14 was observed to perform higher in both growth character such plant height(123.30), the number of leaves (16.27), stem girth (5.98), adventitious roots per plant (6.10), Cob length (14.67), Cob diameter (9.22), Number of line per cob (15.30), Number of cob per plant (2.74), number of seed per cob (620.43), Shelling (80.92 %), 1000 seed weight(952.43g) and Yield (5.42t/ha) Maize grown in spacing 15cm outgrows those cultivated in spacing 20 and 25cm in both vegetative and reproductive character such as plant height (137.54), the number of leaves (16.24), stem girth (5.00), Adventurous root (6.01), Cob length (15.21), Cob diameter (9.73), Number of line per cob (16.54), Number of cob per plant (2.90), number of seed per cob (621.32), Shelling (85%), 1000 seed weight (901.65g) and Yield (5.54t/ha). On seasonal effect the cultivation of maize in 2024 remained superior in all the parameters under consideration. Optimal maize production in Makurdi can be achieved using 15 cm spacing and Sammaz 14. Based on the results obtained it can be suggested that famers in the location can use spacing 15cm and Sammaz 14 boast maize production for optimum yield.
