ABSTRACT   
Motivation of the workforce has been identified as the key factor that produces super productivity and increased profitability in modern organizations. There are several ways by which an organization can motivate its workforce.  Some of these ways include; salary increase to workers, promotion, attractive fringe benefits and through other non-financial incentives, such as commendation, award and expression of appreciation. Motivation is essential to propel the workforce to improved productivity thereby making it possible for the organization to achieve its set goals and objectives. When an employee is sufficiently motivated, he or she will have increased
zeal to perform organizational tasks. This article adopted survey research design. Questionnaire carefully designed by the author was used to gather primary data for the article.  The sample size used was 40 respondents made up of human resources practitioners from two corporate organizations.  The data gathered were analyzed using tables and percentages.  The hypothesis of the article was tested using chi-square inferential statistical tool to establish its validity.  The author found that the Alternative hypothesis obtained was 20.25 as against the Null hypothesis of 9.49.

A SURVEY OF THE AWARENESS OF VACCINATING LOCAL CHICKENS ( Gallus domesticus) WITHIN THE CENTRAL ZONE OF PLATEAU STATE Biyal, D.H., Deshi, M.B; and Gochuk, Z.D. Plateau State College of Agriculture, Garkawa, Plateau State, Nigeria ABSTRACT The research was conducted to access the level of awareness and use of vaccines on local chickens (Gallus domesticus) within the central zone of Plateau State. Five (5) districts were randomly selected, one from each of the five LGA’s that make up the central zone of Plateau State. 400 questionnaires were distributed, filled and retrieved from the 5 LGAs, each with 80. The data was analyzed using simple percentage. Result showed that 177 (44.25%) of the respondents were poor subsistent farmers and civil servants make up only 80 (20.00%) that raise local chickens.

SCIENCE TEACHER EDUCATION: A PANACEA FOR CLIMATE CHANGE AND IMPLICATION FOR MATHEMATICS TEACHER EDUCATION

SCIENCE TEACHER EDUCATION: A PANACEA FOR CLIMATE CHANGE AND IMPLICATION FOR MATHEMATICS TEACHER EDUCATION Aliyu M. Waziri, Udonsa A. Ezekiel and 3 Esaduwha S. Obukohwo 1&2 Department of Mathematics and 3 Department of Physics Federal College of Education, Yola, Adamawa State, Nigeria ABSTRACT In this paper, mathematics is used for describing, predicting and communicating climate change. We used the perspective of critical mathematics education to examine how mathematics is constructed in reporting climate change. We took into consideration the importance of mathematical modelling. Our discussion is referenced by a newspaper report and a policy document. In ourargument, human mathematical activity and the role of human activity in causing climate change are all largely invisible.  Mathematics education has an important role to play in making the invisible visible. Keywords: Climate, Mathematics Education, Mathematics Modelling.
