“…Moreover, leadership is perceived as a social influence process, where the leader seeks the voluntary participation of subordinates to achieve organizational goals (Omolayo, 2000). It is characterized as a process in which one person exerts social influence over other group members (Bamigboye, 2000), a mechanism for shaping the activities of individuals or groups toward goal achievement in specific situations (Akanwa, 1997), and a relational concept involving both the influencing agent and the influenced individual (Eze, 1995). Effective leadership is, therefore, gauged by the degree to which a leader consistently and progressively guides and directs followers toward the collectively agreed-upon destination defined by the entire group (Omolayo, 2000).…”

“…Nigeria's sedimentary basins contain a huge quantity of varied kinds of clays and it has been the subject of various studies as its abundance and availability guarantee its sustainability (Eyankware et al 2021, Akanwa and Joe-Ikechebelu 2022, Aromolaran and Adebayo 2022, Tsepav et al 2022. There has been an increasing awareness of the scope and importance of refractory materials in the industrial development of Nigeria (Okoro et al 2022).…”

High-performance materials, systems, and processes have necessitated the exploration of very high-temperature environments. Materials, particularly ceramics, which can withstand these high temperatures, have been extensively studied, even though enough emphasis has not been given to clays sourced locally in Nigeria, where there is an abundance. Also, stochastic optimization techniques has been employed to improve on system or carry out experimentation with minimal spend of resources and very high accuracy. This work extensively explored the refractory properties of blends developed from locally sourced clays (Mayo Ndaga and kachalla Sembe and Kona). The Taguchi optimization technique was employed to determine the effect of various quantities of the clays on the loss on ignition (LOI), refractoriness (RF), and firing shrinkage (FS) of the blends. It was discovered that the optimum (lowest) loss on ignition, highest refractoriness, and lowest firing shrinkage were 11%, 1333°C, and 0.48%, respectively. Analysis of variance also proved the significance of Mayo Ndaga on the refractoriness and firing shrinkage of the blends, with P-values of 0.038 and 0.000 at a 95% confidence level.
