The study examined the status of senior secondary schools’students’achievement in Civic Education and English Language in osun *** also investigated the Civic Education and English Language teachers’characteristics in the state and determined the teaching styles of Civic Education and English Language teachers in the study areas and finally assessed the influence of teachers’characteristics and teaching styles on students’achievement in secondary schools Civic Education and English *** study adopted Discriminant *** study sample consisted of 600 senior secondary school students,30 Civics teachers,and 30 English Language teachers that were selected using multi-stage sampling *** instruments were constructed and validated before *** research questions were asked and answered while one hypothesis was tested and *** results among others showed that more than 50%of the students that participated in the study had high status of achievement in Civic Education while more than 40%of English Language students that participated in the study had low status of *** study also showed that teachers’characteristics pertinent to both Civic Education teachers and English Language teachers were,effective discipline skills(Civics,M=1.20,SD=0.407;English,M=1.40,SD=0.498)and good communication with parents(Civics,M=1.43,SD=0.504;English,M=1.40,SD=0.498).In addition,there was significant influence of teachers’characteristics and teaching styles on students’achievement in Civics and English Language in senior secondary schools(X^2(2)=16.37,poncluded that teachers’characteristics and teaching styles are major determinants of students’achievement in Civic Education and English Language.

The study examined the forms of child labour practices common among market women and food sellers in Ife Central local government area of osun *** also determined the awareness level of market women and food sellers on the existing child labour law in Nigeria and finally examined factors contributing to child labour practices among market women and food *** study employed the descriptive research of the survey *** study population consisted of market women and food sellers in Ife Central local government in osun *** sample consisted of 170 market women and 80 food sellers in conveniently selected five markets in the study *** researchers developed three research instruments for this study,namely:Knowledge of Child Labour Questionnaire(KCLQ),Forms of Child Labour Practices Questionnaire(FCLPQ),and Factors Contributing to Child Labour Questionnaire(FCCLQ).The three instruments were validated by the investigators,using Cronbach alpha which yielded 0.79,0.77,and 0.78 values for KCLQ,FCLPQ,and FCCLQ *** collected were analyzed by using simple percentage and Relative Importance *** results among others showed that domesticlabour ranked the first significantly influential forms of child labour practiced among market women and food sellers in Ife Central local government,osun State with RII analysis of 0.810 and 0.850 *** study therefore concluded that majority of the respondents have low awareness level on the existing child labour law hence government should intensify the creation of awareness of the child labour law among market women and food sellers in Ife Central local government,osun State.

Application of inorganic fertilizers improves crop yields but costs and adverse health effects often discourage their applications. This study therefore aims at evaluating the combined effects of cassava peel compost with poultry manure and mineral fertilizer on growth and yields of Corchorus olitorius. Pots (factorial laid out in a randomized complete block design) and field (split-plot with fertilizer being the main effect and the varieties the sub plot effect) experiments were carried out during rainy season at Ibadan, Nigeria. Treatments consisted of 0, 5, 10 and 20 t/ha composts prepared from cassava peel and poultry manure in ratio 3:1 and mineral fertilizer (NPK 15:15:15) at the rate of 250 kg/ha, using two varieties of C. olitorius. Five and six weeks after planting (WAP), plants were assessed for growth and yields in pot and field experiments respectively, and also in residual studies. Application of compost significantly improved growth (heights) (36.50-41.56 cm), while morphological and dry weight values increased with increase in compost. Marketable yield increase of 13.2%, 22.3%, 32.1% and 29.3% were recorded using 5, 10, 20 t/ha compost and NPK fertilizer respectively in the field. Corresponding increase when ratooned were 40.0%, 42.9%, 57.1% and 52.0%, respectively. Application of compost at the rate of 20 t/ha performed better in the main and residual effect experiments compared to NPK fertilizer and other compost rates. Application of cassavas peels compost at the rate of 20 t/ha proved to be adequate for optimum growth and yield performance of C. olitorius.
