“…Planting of TPS can also be done directly in the field. Okonkwo et al (2009) recommended that seedlings should be raised in the nursery in seed beds, seed trays or pots before transplanting.…”

An experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of planting date and growth environment on the production of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) seed tubers from true potato seed (TPS) in Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria in the year 2019. A completely randomised design was used, consisting of three planting dates (May 10, May 25, June 9, 2019) and three growth environments (shaded field, open field and greenhouse), giving a total of nine treatment combinations in three replicates. Data collected were subjected to analysis of variance using the statistical software SAS, 9.0 version. The means were separated using the least significant difference. The results showed that planting date had significant (p<0.05) effect on mean establishment count, number of leaves at all sampling dates except at 104, 118 and 146 days after planting (DAP); plant height at all sampling dates except at 62, 118 and 132 DAP; mean number and weight of tubers at harvest. Growth environment had significant (p<0.05) effect on mean number of leaves produced at 132 to 174 DAP; plant height at all sampling dates except at 62 and 132 DAP, mean number and weight of tubers at harvest. Interaction of planting dates and growth environment was significant on mean plant height at 132 to 174 DAP. It is concluded that early planting, shading and open growth environment enhanced seed tuber production from true potato seed.

“…To advance restructuring in Nigeria, El‐Rufai (2017) has argued that the federal government needs to devolve more economic powers to the states, and the states to the local governments. Okonkwo (2018) contended that economic restructuring is to change an existing status quo to make it more useful and functional in terms of wealth generation and management. Economic restructuring in that light is a significant alteration, reorganization, reformation, and rearrangement of the existing economic structure to make it improved, effective, efficient, and functionally competent (Nwafor‐Orizu & Eze, 2018).…”

Nigeria has consistently been ranked over the years as one of the poorest nations of the world in spite of her abundant natural and human resources. Solutions to this intractable problem are being sought and restructuring the country's constitution to grant more economic power to state and local governments is suggested as a catalyst that could usher in development and prosperity. This paper aims to address whether restructuring economic aspects of Nigeria's constitution will help usher in prosperity in the country. A qualitative content analysis model was employed in this study. This research finds evidence that if genuinely pursued, economic restructuring has the potential to bring in significant economic progress/prosperity and development without breaking up the polity. It is recommended that to achieve these goals, the process of amending the national constitution must be made easier by the parliament and mutual trust among ethnic nationalities across the country must be cultivated and harvested.

“…2 In Nigeria however, sweetpotato has been identified to be the fourth most vital root crop after Cassava, Yam, and Cocoyam. 3 Orange-fleshed sweetpotato (OFSP) is now becoming an important member of the tropical root crops having huge potentials as a dependable source of vitamin A. 4 The young leaves and shoots are sometimes eaten green for its anthocyanin pigments which have anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic properties.…”
