Accountancy, Society and Economic Development
(Obafemi Awolowo University Press, 1977-04-26) Samaratunga, Y. A. D. S.
Accountancy, society and economic development charted, in as yet somewhat uncharted seas on the frontiers of accounting territory, the role of accountancy in relation to society in general and to economic development in particular. Therefore, brought into focus the potential uses of the accounting methodology not only as a vital instrument of economic development per se, but also as a social force which should, increasingly in the years to come, help to improve the 'quality of life' of mankind in the widest possible context.

Africa and the Middle East: the Politics of Asymmetry
(Obafemi Awolowo University Press, 1997-06-10) Olusola, Ojo
The operation of the contemporary international system involves a very complex web, of relationships among states and the other actors 'in the system. The scope, intensity, regularity and tile nature of each state's relationships With and, within the system are a function of many variables, Geography, the quantity and quality of resources both human and natural technological development, shared history and shared values go a long way in determining each state's stake in the system, as well as the degree to which these stakes are pursued and the strategies for pursuing them. And because resources and capabilities are not evenly 'shared by the members of the international system, there are disparities in the amount of influence members wield in the, system. These' disparities create a relationship of dependency between the 'have' and the .have-nets' which oftentimes develop into an asymmetrical relationship: They follow the basis of the categorization of states into super, big, middle-ranked and small powers. However, irrespective of their status, states are dependent on other ,members of the system in one way or the other as no, state has enough resources to satisfy its needs. In other words, in order to achieve their objectives - whether defined in terms of political, economic, cultural, social or technological - states have to interact with one another.' The need to satisfy these interests has led members of tile system to devise strategies for collaboration and for the management of conflict, In all of tile relationships, a basic tenet of interaction is tile equality of members. In reality, however, this is more legal than political: relations are often lopsided, hierarchical, unequal or asymmetrical. In a relationship of asymmetry, tile extent to which the component members of the system share in the conditions and concerns of tile system 'vary widely, even to tile point that one can question whether a system actually exists. In this situation, it is often difficult to discern interests their could be clearly considered mutual. Each component unit would 'have about it a unique feature or set of features which separate ill important ways. Its inquests from those of any other state or the system considered as a whole. Clear lines of division would be necessary and jealously guarded insofar as these unique interests are concerned. Consequently. the dominant 'states pursue their goals with little or no difference to the Interests and concerns .of the other members of the system. (Tarlton, 1965). '

All Flesh is Grass
(Obafemi Awolowo University Press, 1973) Adegbola, A.A
Livestock production in Nigeria is possible within the context of an overall improvement in all other aspects of agricultural development. Just as there is a need for grain surplus as a basis for development in pigs and poultry production; so there is a need for adequate soil management and water conservation practices to keep soils productive; good storage facilities and a cheap and efficient processing technique for crop and animal products, good roads and communications for fast transportation of highly perishable products and efficient distribution at low costs to consumers. There is a need to develop adequate organization for getting scientific information to the farmer. But above all, there is a need to guarantee adequate returns to farmers and to provide incentives like good water supply, adequate housing and rural electrification to farming communities. It is only in this context that we can truly develop the capacity necessary to convert all grass to flesh for the benefit of all in Nigeria.

AN ODYSSEY INTO THE WORLD OF ENZYMES
(Obafemi Awolowo University Press., 2023-03-14) Adewale, Isaac Olusanjo
Enzymes are biological macromolecules capable of accelerating the rate of reactions by factors as much as a million or more over the uncatalyzed reactions and are themselves not consumed in the process. Enzymes drive processes of life in all living things because most reactions in living things do not take place at an appreciable rate without enzymes. With some exceptions, living things are organized structures capable of life forms - movement, reproduction, nutrition, response to stimuli, growth and excretion; and all these functions are made possible through catalytic activities of enzymes. Life is about chemical reactions and chemical reactions in living organisms are about life, all of which are catalyzed by enzymes.
