This paper investigates the impact of economic recession on job performance of academic staff in higher education institutions in Rivers State. The study adopted correlation research design; the population consisted of 3,315 academic staff of six higher education institutions in Rivers State. The sample size consisted of 34 academic staff randomly and systematically selected from the population.A five point Liker-type scale was used to elicit data from the respondents. The instruments were validated by two experts in Business Education and one expert in measurement and evaluation. The reliability of the research instruments was tested using test-re-test method which gave a coefficient (r) value of 0.75. The data collected were analysed using mean scores and standard deviation while analysis of variance (ANOVA) and F-ratio were used to test the null hypothesis (Ho) at 2 and 397 degrees of freedom. The null hypothesis was accepted at 0.05level of significance since the table value of the F-ratio was greater than the calculated value. The study revealed that economic recession has a very high impact on the job performance of academic staff in higher education institutions. The researchers recommended that special trust fund, interest-free loans, and other palliative measures be provided to cushion the impact of economic recession on academic staff in higher education institutions in Rivers State.

It is one thing to make money (income) and another thing entirely to manage (expend) the money in such a way that the money will be useful and the business sustained. The financial management of the private schools in Obio-Akpor was the main investigation of this research work. A total of seventy eight (78) proprietors/administrators formed the sample population of this study which is a descriptive survey. The respondents reacted to the three research questions that guided the research work via a well structured fifteen (15) item research questionnaire. The work was also guided by a null hypothesis that stated that there is no significant relationship between accountancy education and proper financial management of private primary schools in Obio-Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State. The statistical tools used for this research work were Mean, Standard Deviation, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and F-ratio at P > 0.05 level of significance. The results showed that most of the private primary schools in Obio-Akpor Local Government Area do not utilize basic accounting principles but are in concordance with the benefits from utilizing basic accounting principles and procedures. A slightly higher number agreed that employing accountancy education graduates as members of the school management team will go a long way to aid the financial management of the school and in turn promote the growth of the school. The researcher thus recommended among others that Private primary schools that can afford to employ accountancy education graduates should employ them into the school's management team to give a touch of professionalism to their accounting system.
