This study explores the intricate interplay of diversity, unity, and sustainable growth in Nigeria, a nation that is a microcosm of Africa's cultural richness. This study explored this diversity's historical, social, economic, and political dimensions, acknowledging its role in shaping the nation's identity while addressing its challenges. It emphasizes the crucial importance of unity in achieving sustainable growth and national development. Challenges arising from Nigeria's diversity, including ethnic tensions, regional imbalances, and historical grievances, are dissected to comprehensively understand the nation's hurdles. Opportunities for unity are illuminated, focusing on cultural exchange, education as a unifying force, and economic inclusivity. The study further delves into empowering marginalized groups, advocating for inclusive economic policies, and the role of education as a catalyst for national cohesion. The paper concludes by providing actionable recommendations, emphasizing the need for national inclusivity initiatives, equitable economic policies, and strategic infrastructure development.</p>2025-04-03T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://ecsenet.com/index.php/2576-6759/article/view/353Determinants of Budget Implementation in Nigeria2025-04-05T16:02:53+00:00Joseph Seun KOLAWOLEkolawolejs@pg.abuad.edu.ngAdeyemi Wasiu ALABIalabi0696@babcock.edu.ngGbenga Ayodele FALANAfalanaga@pg.abuad.edu.ng<p>The below-par performance of budget implementation (BI) in Nigeria has contributed to the country’s economic instability and public distrust in fiscal policies. This study primarily investigates the determinants of BI in Nigeria by focusing on foreign exchange rates (FEXR), inflation rates (INFR), interest rates (INTR), and corruption control (CINR). Using annual data from 2008 to 2024, this study employs time series analysis to examine the causal relationships between key macroeconomic variables and BI. Findings reveal that FEXR significantly influences BI, underscoring Nigeria’s fiscal vulnerability to FEXR fluctuations. INTR also exhibits a significant impact on BI, highlighting the importance of INTR policies in BI. Conversely, INFR has no direct effect on BI, suggesting that inflation’s influence on fiscal performance is secondary. The study concludes that Nigeria’s BI is usually undermined and disrupted by FEXR and INTR instability. The study recommends that the Nigerian government prioritize FEXR stability through sound monetary policies to mitigate currency-related fiscal risks. Furthermore, the Central Bank of Nigeria should implement measures to maintain favorable INTR, ensuring that borrowing costs do not hinder BI. Strengthening institutional accountability is essential to minimizing corruption’s negative effects on fiscal performance. These findings provide valuable insights for policymakers seeking to enhance budget efficiency and promote sustainable economic development in Nigeria.</p>2025-04-05T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://ecsenet.com/index.php/2576-6759/article/view/355Measuring Supply Chain Performance2025-04-07T16:33:48+00:00Ahmad Esoud Alkhawaldehbalama1998@yahoo.com<p>The purpose of this study is to review the theoretical framework in performance measurement systems in the context of the supply chain.
