“…Considering that Nigeria suffers massively from an infrastructural deficiency (Adenikinju, 2003(Adenikinju, , 2005Mohammed et al, 2013), it is not surprising that the respondents attached great significance to these resources provided by iDEA. Part of the capability approach's aim is to emphasize contextual differences because these have a significant effect on a person's opportunity to achieve valuable functionings.…”

“…This situation is further highlighted by Nwekeaku (2013) who described the poor state of infrastructure in Nigerian universities as worrisome and as such cannot support the newly introduced entrepreneurship education. Because of these severe infrastructural deficiencies, the Nigerian environment is not conducive for start-up businesses (Adenikinju, 2003(Adenikinju, , 2005Mohammed et al, 2013;Okafor, 2008) so that the students are unable to translate entrepreneurial learnings into business ventures. A recent publication by World Bank (2016) revealed that Nigeria ranks 169 in ease of doing business, a one-point improvement from its previous 170th position.…”

Purpose -As a way of dealing with Nigeria's macroeconomic challenge of unemployment and its concomitant socio-economic problems, the federal government, in 2006, made entrepreneurship study a compulsory course for all higher education students irrespective of their area of specialization. However, studies have shown that the programme is yet to achieve its goals as many Nigerian graduates still remain unemployed long after graduation. Using Sen's capability approach, this paper aims to investigate business incubation as an effective tool for enhancing entrepreneurial capabilities beyond entrepreneurship education. Design/methodology/approach -This study has engaged both quantitative (survey questionnaire) and qualitative methodologies (semi-structured interview). Findings -The result shows that through business incubation, budding entrepreneurs have increased access to infrastructures and resources necessary for entrepreneurial success, thereby enhancing their real opportunities (capabilities) for success. Practical implications -For greater effectiveness, business incubation should be integrated into the current entrepreneurship education programme in Nigeria. Originality/value -This study is a debut of research endeavours which theoretically assess entrepreneurship programmes via the capability approach lens. It has developed a conceptual model for assessing business incubation using the capability approach.

“…A few studies have attempted to assess the energy sector reform in Nigeria (see Adenikinju 2003;Oke 2008;Okoro and Chikuni 2007;Sanyaolu 2008;Tallapragada and Adebusuyi 2008;Idris et al 2013;and Joseph 2014). Some have focused on the investment opportunities and pitfalls associated with the reform (David-West 2014; Onochie, Egware, and Eyakwanor 2015).…”

ForewordSustainable energy transitions involve the shift of resources between competing industrial sectors and political constituencies. Stakeholders in this process have varying degrees of political and economic power, and understanding how political economic factors influence clean energy transitions is crucial to effective policy formulation and facilitating transitions to sustainable energy systems. In partnership with the Joint Institute for Strategic Energy Analysis (JISEA), UNU-WIDER gathered together a substantial group of experts from around the world-from both developed and developing countries-to launch a multidisciplinary research project seeking to contribute to our enhanced understanding of these factors. The project sought to facilitate an energy transition that will generate very large environmental and economic benefits, particularly over the long run. The beneficiaries of clean energy transitions are highly diffuse and include future generations not yet born. This book is the distilled essence of the cross-cutting academic project. I express my sincere and professional appreciation to the large group of expert authors for their dedication to the project, and to my fellow editors in helping bring together the book for readers to enjoy and absorb along with the findings and policy implications.

“…Persistent unsolved epileptic power supply and the growing economy have led to increase in the rate of petroleum products consumption in Nigeria (Adenikinju, 2003). The air emissions of sulphur dioxide (SO 2 ) and its environmental and health impacts from the consumption of refined petroleum products with nonuniformity in sulphur contents in Nigeria could be mitigated, provided there is proper and consistence investigation.…”

The contribution of SO 2 emissions from the consumption of petroleum products to Nigerian airshed has been of great concern over the years because of the resulting adverse environmental and health effects. It is in the light of this that air emissions of SO 2 from gasoline and diesel consumed in the Southwestern States of Nigeria were estimated in this study. Lagos state being the highest consumer of gasoline and diesel in Southwestern Nigeria emitted the highest quantity.
