Authors: BabalolaAtinuke (Ph. D)
Abstract: It is overtly important to note that early childhood education is the starting point for children as citizens and their general development is a basic foundation for subsequent levels of education; hence, a lot is expected from their teachers. The study aimed to assess whether teachers’ conditions of service could have any significant influence on their job performance and productivity in public early childhood education in Bwari LGA, Abuja. To achieve the objectives of the study, the study raised two research questions and two hypotheses. A descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. A simple random sampling technique was used to select a sample of24 head teachers, 168 teachers, and 32 educational officials from the targeted population. Descriptive statistical tools
were used: mean ( ) and standard deviation (S.D).
The hypotheses were analyzed using mean ) and
standard deviation (S.D ) on a five point Likert scale.
Findings indicated that a conducive and serene school environment and regular and periodic staff training and development enhance teacher job performance and productivity in public early childhood education. Hence, it is recommended that enhancing and securing the school and learning environment and adequate regular training programs are important for teachers’ productivity.
Description: Early Childhood (EC) generally refers to the initial eight years of a child‘s life. Unequivocally, this is the period when early school begins for children aged 3 to 5. In essence, early childhood education (ECE) includes crèches, nursery, and kindergarten, while primary education indicates education given to children between ages 610 years and above. This period is seen as an important aspect for child development in building human capital needed for educational achievement. Early Childhood Education is also a vital preventive measure aimed at reducing the occurrence of remedialclasses,classrepetition,beingassignedforspeciallearningclasses,andafterwarddroppingoutofschoo2023-07-07T00:00:00ZDecolonizing Nigerian Educational System as an Impetus for a Holistic DevelopmentOdunayo Tolulope Ojo, Atinuke Titilope Babalola (PhD)Babatunde Joshua Omotosho, (PhD)http://repository.fuoye.edu.ng:80/handle/123456789/23952024-03-05T14:07:29Z2023-06-16T00:00:00ZTitle: Decolonizing Nigerian Educational System as an Impetus for a Holistic Development
Authors: Odunayo Tolulope Ojo, Atinuke Titilope Babalola (PhD); Babatunde Joshua Omotosho, (PhD)
Abstract: The importance of education in the development of individuals and society as a
whole cannot be overemphasised. But when it is not indigenised, some of the aims may become
defeated as traditional norms are destroyed and social productivity is curtailed. Studies have
therefore advocated for a decolonised education as the probable solution to the socio-cultural and
economic challenges facing the continent of Africa. Consequently, this paper examined
decolonised education in Nigeria as an impetus for a holistic development. In addressing the
subject, the paper examined decolonized education in Nigeria; the impacts of western education
on Nigeria and indigenous education; and the importance of decolonising education for African
centred development. The paper further argued that while the structure for a decolonised
education exits in the country, nothing much has been done in the area of implementation in recent
times. The paper therefore recommended that concerted efforts must be made to decolonise
education at all levels in order to pave way for a holistic and Nigerian centred development.

Authors: Asuzu, I. U; Maxwell, I. Ezeja; Aruh O., Anaga
Abstract: Ethnopharmacological relevance: Gouania longipetala leaves are commonly used in folkloric medicine in
Africa and other parts of the world for treatment of edema, febrifuges, veneral diseases, lumbago, heart
diseases, diabetes mellitus malaria, etc. This study therefore evaluated safety profile of the methanol leaf
extract of the plant using acute and sub-chronic studies in rat model.
Materials and methods: Acute toxicity test of the plant lasted for 48 h with oral administration of graded
doses (100–4000 mg/kg) of Gouania longipetala extract (GLE) in rats. The rats were observed for signs of
toxicity and death. The sub-chronic toxicity was evaluated by administration of different doses (2.5, 5 and
10 mg/kg) of GLE daily in feed for 90 days. On days, 30, 60 and 90, blood samples collected from the
retro-orbital plexus of the eye of the rats were used for evaluation of serum biochemistry, hematology,
lipid peroxidation and in vivo antioxidant activities. Histopathological evaluations of the kidney, liver,
lungs and heart were also done.
Results: The acute toxicity test revealed no observable signs of toxicity or morbidity. Sub-chronic study
showed that GLE significantly (po0.05) increased relative liver weight on day 90 at 10 mg/kg. There
were no significant variations in the hematological parameters of both GLE treated and untreated rats.
The extract significantly (po0.05) reduced total cholesterol, triglycerides, very low density lipoproteins
and increased high density lipoproteins which was more prominent on day 90 at the dose of 10 mg/kg.
The extract significantly (po0.05) increased liver enzyme markers at the doses used. GLE also
significantly (po0.05) increased serum urea at the dose of 10 mg/kg on day 90. The extract caused
dose-dependent and significant (po0.05) increase in superoxide dismutase and decrease in malondiadehyde.
Histopathological studies revealed degenerative changes in the kidney and liver.
Conclusion: The results of the study suggest that Gouania longipetala is well tolerated in short term
therapies, but may have long term toxic effects on the kidney and liver. vc@fuoye.edu.ng2013-10-31T00:00:00ZThe antiinflammatory activity of extracts from the root of Combretum dolichopetalumAsuzu, I.

Abstract: The methanol and chloroform extracts of the root of Combretum dolichopetalum were obtained and
gave yields of 6.48%
w/w and 0.38% w/w respectively. The methanol extract significantly inhibited car
ageenin-induced mouse paw edema in a dose-dependent manner after an oral treatment.
The maximum
effect was achieved at a dose of 600 mg/kg and the result was comparable to that of indomethacin (10
mg/kg). The antiinflammatory activity of the chloroform extract against croton-oil induced mouse ear
edema was significant (p
< 0.001) and increased with the dose. The maximum effect (93%) was
achieved with 1.0 mg of the extract per ear. vc@fuoye.edu.ng1998-04-05T00:00:00ZThe antiinflammatory activity of extracts from the root of Combretum dolichopetalumAsuzu, I. UAdimorah, R.

Authors: Asuzu, I. U; Ode, O.J.
Abstract: The anti-snake venom activities of the methanolic extract of the bulb of Crinum jagus plant (Amaryllidaceae) were
investigated in vitro and in vivo against the venoms of three notable snake species: Echis ocellatus, Bitis arietans and Naja
nigricollis. The extract was prepared by cold marceration in 50% methanol at 37 1C with intermittent shaking for 48 h. An
yield of 12.8% w/w dry extract was obtained. Oral administration of C. jagus extract (1000 mg/kg) protected 50% of mice,
while injection of a 30 min pre-incubated mixture of the same dose of extract and venom gave 100% protection against the
lethal effects of E. ocellatus venom (10 mg/kg, i.m.). The intraperitoneal administration of the extract at 250 mg/kg, 30 min
before the injection of E. ocellatus venom (10 mg/kg, i.m.), significantly (po0.05) prolonged the death time of poisoned
mice. C. jagus extract (500 mg/kg, per os), gave 50% protection against B. arietans venom (9.5 mg/kg, i.m.) in mice while
the pre-incubation of a mixture of the same dose of venom and extract (500 mg/kg), prior to injection (i.p.) of the mixture,
gave only 33.3% protection. The pre-incubation of 500 mg/kg of C. jagus extract with N. nigricollis venom (6 mg/kg) prior
to i.p. injection of the mixture protected 50% of the treated mice. There were generally no significant differences in the
death times of mice that were given the same dose of the extract orally 30 min before injection of the venoms and those
administered with the pre-incubated mixtures of venom and extract. The pre-incubation of the extract and E. ocellatus
venom (5 mg/kg) for 30 min, before the i.m. injection of the mixture, significantly reduced infiltration of inflammatory cells
to the site of injection 4 h post treatment. The concentrations of plasma creatine kinase in poisoned mice were significantly
(po0.01 or po0.05) reduced after the injection (i.p.) of C. jagus extract (1000 mg/kg) pre-incubated with E. ocellatus
(5 mg/kg) or B. arietans (7 mg/kg) venom, respectively. The bulb extract of C. jagus blocked the haemorrhagic activity of a
standard haemorrhagic dose (2.8 mg/ml) of E. ocellatus venom at various concentrations (1.7, 3.3 and 6.7 mg/ml). The
methanolic bulb extract of C. jagus was therefore able to significantly protect mice from death, myonecrosis and
haemorrhage induced by the lethal effects of venoms of notable snake species in Nigeria. vc@fuoye.edu.ng2006-06-27T00:00:00ZThe antisnake venom activities of Parkia biglobosa (Mimosaceae) stem bark extractAsuzu, I.

Abstract: Snake bites in rural Nigeria are commonly treated with plant extracts. We have studied the ability of one such traditionally
used plant (Parkia biglobosa; [Jacq.] Benth., Mimosaceae) to reduce the effects of two snake venoms (Naja nigricollis, and
Echis ocellatus) in several experimental models. A water-methanol extract of P. biglobosa stem bark significantly ðp , 0:001Þ
protected the chick biventer cervicis (cbc) muscle preparation from N. nigricollis venom-induced inhibition of neurally evoked
twitches when it was added to the bath 3–5 min before or after the venom. The extract also reduced the loss of responses to
acetylcholine (Ach), carbachol and KCl, which are normally blocked by N. nigricollis venom, and significantly reduced the
contractures of the preparation induced by venom. P. biglobosa extract (75, 150 and 300 mg/ml) significantly ðp , 0:05Þ

murine muscle cells in culture against the cytotoxic effects of N. nigricollis and E. ocellatus venoms. The
extract protected egg embryos exposed to lethal concentrations of E. ocellatus venom for more than 12 h and completely
blocked the haemorrhagic activity of the venom at concentrations of 5 and 10 mg/1.5 ml. P. biglobosa extract (400 mg/kg) did
not protect mice injected i.p. with 5 and 2.5 mg/kg of E. ocellatus and N. nigricollis venoms, respectively. It, however, protected
40% of the mice from death caused by E. ocellatus venom after the extract and venom were pre-incubated for 30 min before
injecting the mixture. vc@fuoye.edu.ng2003-10-06T00:00:00ZThe anthelmintic activity of D-3-O-methylchiroinositol isolated from Piliostigma thonningii stem barkAsuzu, I.
