    Continuous burning of wastes at municipal dumpsite constitutes environmental hazards to the surrounding communities and human health. Leachate emanating from these dumpsite infiltrate the soil and sometimes get run off to nearby water resources available for domestic, agricultural and industrial use. This study is to evaluate the quality of groundwater,surface water and soil samples collected in the vicinity of an open municipal dumpsite: Ajakanga solid-waste municipal dumpsite in Oluyole LGA, Ibadan, Oyo State. Sixteen water samples (groundwater and surfacewater samples) and four top soil samples were collected within the vicinity of the dumpsite. The samples were analyzed for physiochemical quality check, potentially toxic elements (PTEs) concentrations and microbiological analysis. The physiochemical properties of the samples were determined using standard method of analysis. The value of physiochemical properties of water and soil samples were below the permissible limit of WHO and NESREA. Except some parameters like TSS, Electrical conductivity, Nitrates, Nitrite in well water and stream water; and chloride in soil sample are above the WHO and NESREA limit. The potentially toxic elements (PTEs) identified are Zn, Cu, Mn, Pb, Fe, Cr, Ni and their concentration were determined using Atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The values obtained for these parameters are within acceptable ranges of WHO except Cu, Mn and Cr which are slightly above WHO limit. The microbial analysis of the samples showed microbial loads of high counts above the WHO limit due to biodegradation and decomposition of solid or food wastes, and presence of feaces on the dumpsite. The parameters checked were E. Coli, Total Coliform, Total Heterotrophic. However, bio-accumulation and bio-magnification of these parameters can poses a dangerous health challenges to the environment and life in the communities closed to the dumpsite.

    Motivational Factors, Organisational Structure and Employee Job Performance In Selected Deposit Money Banks In South-West Nigeria

    This study examines motivational variables, organizational structure and employee job performance in Money Deposit Bank in South West Nigeria. Some banks have failed to recognize the importance of intrinsic motivators such as employee well-being, relationship with co-workers, relationship with managers, organizational policies and extrinsic motivators such as training and career development, good working conditions, compensation, and promotion, which enhance employee performance. A survey research methodology was used in this study. A stratified sampling technique and simple random sampling techniques were used as sampling techniques, and the sample size was determined using Slovin’s Formula with a sample size of 984 was used in this study. A questionnaire was used as the research instrument. Seven hypotheses were formulated and tested based on the research questions. Data analysis was done using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and SmartPLS 3.0. software for Structural Equation Models. The result of the study showed that motivational variables ( Employee wellbeing, Job security, Job promotion, Training & Development and Work-Life Balance) jointly significantly influenced Employee Performance [(R2 = .235; F (5,983) = 60.091; p < .05)] jointly accounted for about 23.5% of the variance observable in Employee Job Performance. The independent contribution of Employee Wellbeing, Job Promotion and Training & Development were positively significant ( = .304; t = 9.079; p< .000), ( = .239; t = 4.403; p< .000) and ( = .109; t = .268; p< .000) while the independent contribution of Job Security and Work-Life Balance were not statistically significant. Furthermore, Organizational structure significantly moderates the functional relationship between motivational variables and employee performance. The study recommends that banks and financial institutions should always put motivational factors in place to encourage employees to do their best.
