This study examined the role of public relations in the image management of candidates during general elections in Nigeria. The study was motivated by the increasing use of public relations strategies, social media campaigns, political branding, and image-building techniques by political candidates seeking electoral support. Specifically, the study investigated the extent to which candidates' projected images align with their actual interactions with voters, the effectiveness of public relations strategies in influencing public perception, and the factors responsible for the image-reality gap often observed after elections. The study adopted a quantitative survey research design. A structured questionnaire based on a five-point Likert scale was used to collect data from a population of 300 respondents comprising voters, political party members, campaign officials, and members of the public. Data were analyzed using frequency tables, percentages, and mean scores. The findings revealed that public relations play a significant role in shaping the public image of political candidates during elections. The study found that many candidates project favorable personalities on social media that do not always correspond with their physical interactions at the grassroots level. The findings further showed that political public relations strategies are increasingly focused on digital campaigns and image projection, while communication and engagement often decline after electoral victory. Respondents also perceived unfulfilled campaign promises, black public relations, and excessive political branding as major contributors to public distrust and the image-reality gap in Nigerian politics. The study concluded that although public relations is essential for effective political communication and voter engagement, its credibility depends on consistency between campaign promises, projected images, and actual performance in office.

The unemployment of motor vehicle technology graduates in Nigeria is chiefly accredited to skills divergence between what is taught in technical colleges and what is demanded by the automobile industry. This study assessed the practical skills required of motor vehicle technology graduates for employment in Ondo State. Three research questions steered the study. A descriptive survey design was adopted. The population comprised 85 motor vehicle technology instructors and 142 automobile industry employers in Ondo State. The entire population of 227 was used for the study. Data were collected using a 21-item questionnaire (PSRMVTG) with reliability coefficient of 0.70 using Cronbatch Alpha. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer research questions. Findings revealed that engine mechanics skills are highly required and possessed by graduates of motor vehicle technology. Major skills required by employers include: trouble shooting with On Board Diagnostics, Version 2 (OBD-II) scanner, servicing of mechatronics systems and customer service/digital record keeping the result indicated a relative skill gap in modern diagnostic equipment which industries demanded currently. It was recommended that, Government and NBTE should equip technical colleges and workshops in Ondo State with modern OBD-II scanners, hybrid vehicle trainers and mechatronics kits. Retraining of instructors should be organized on ECU diagnostics, hybrid/electric vehicles and robotics to bridge the identified skill gaps.

The digital age necessitates Technical Education to turn out graduates with competencies for industry. This study assessed infrastructure, pedagogy and policy for revitalizing technical education in Ondo State. Five research questions guided the study. A descriptive survey design was adopted. The population of 144 instructors in the 5 State owned Government Technical Colleges in Ondo State was used. Data were collected with a 40-item questionnaire (QIPPRTE) with reliability coefficient of 0.72.Mean, standard deviation and frequency counts were used for analysis. Findings revealed that College management should ensure proper implementation and monitoring of digitalization policies. Government should encourage public-private partnership with industry to provide modern equipment. Major challenges are inadequate funding, poor power supply and lack of infrastructure. Key strategies are provision of funding, regular training and stable power. It was concluded that technical education in Ondo State is not ready for the digital age. It was recommended that College management should ensure proper implementation and monitoring of digitalization policies. Government should encourage public-private partnership with industry to provide modern equipment.

This study examines the effects of restrictive measures implemented during the Ebola outbreak on the activities of women engaged in informal cross-border trade between the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Rwanda within the African Great Lakes region. A survey was conducted among 338 women cross-border traders in Goma and Bukavu. The findings reveal that 59.8% of the respondents managed to continue their business activities under difficult conditions, while 66% experienced a significant decline in their monthly profits, as confirmed by a Chi-square test (p < 0.001). Border closures also disrupted supply chains, increased purchase prices, and raised transaction costs. To sustain their businesses, 66.3% of the women adopted a collective procurement (group purchasing) system, thereby confirming the hypothesis that collective action constitutes an effective resilience strategy. Despite this adaptive response, the traders faced delivery delays, reduced control over their goods, and limited institutional support. The study concludes that regional mechanisms capable of balancing public health protection with the continuity of cross-border trade are essential to strengthening the economic resilience of women traders in the African Great Lakes region.
