The purpose of the study is to examine the effect of environmental insecurity on students’ academic achievement in mathematics among senior secondary school students in Zamfara North Senatorial Zone, Nigeria. The population of the study comprises all the senior secondary school students in Zamfara North Senatorial Zone, which is 22,797. From the population, a sample of 150 students was randomly selected for the study from the entire senior secondary schools in the study. Three objectives, three research questions, and corresponding hypotheses guided the study. The reliability of the instrument was determined using the Kuder-Richardson formula (KR21), and the coefficient was found to be 0.87. The major instrument used for data collection was a structured questionnaire with items on a 4-point Likert scale, which was validated by three experts. The data collected was analysed using SPSS. Descriptive statistics were used to answer research questions, and chi-square statistics were adopted in testing the hypotheses. The findings of the study show that environmental insecurity has negatively affected the students’ academic achievements in mathematics, especially for students from rural areas in the zone. It was recommended that government and non-government organizations provide a new security strategy to schools in the area to reduce its effects on the mathematical academic achievements of students.

This study examines the relationship between high-tech exports, medium-tech manufacturing value addition, and export composition on economic growth in terms of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita in Tanzania. Employing regression analysis revealed statistically significant influences of these variables on GDP per capita. Findings reveal a negative relationship between high-tech exports and GDP per capita, unlocking challenges in technology adoption. Also, the negative impact of medium-tech manufacturing value addition implied inefficiencies in the sector. Moreover, manufacturing exports positively contribute to GDP per capita. This study aligns with global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goals 8 and 9, while providing a framework for developing countries to improve industrialization for sustainable economic growth in terms of GDP per capita, contributing to the global dialogue on industrialization and its societal impacts.

The review focuses on the socio-economic benefits of micro-irrigation technologies (MITs) for smallholder farmers, highlighting their potential to transform agricultural practices and enhance sustainability. The review synthesizes empirical evidence from Africa and Asia, providing a comprehensive overview of how MITs can positively impact smallholder agriculture. Findings reveal that the adoption of MITs leads to significant improvements in agricultural productivity and enhanced water use efficiency, which contributes to reduced operational costs. Additionally, the financial resilience of smallholder farmers improves as they become better equipped to navigate market fluctuations and economic challenges. These benefits not only bolster individual livelihoods but also promote broader economic stability within rural communities. The review recommends several strategies for effective implementation. These include promoting awareness and adoption among farmers, enhancing access to finance, building technical capacity, supporting research and innovation, enacting supportive policies, and establishing models to assess the economic viability of MITs.
