PANEL STUDY OF CREDIT MANAGEMENT DIMENSIONS AND LOAN PERFORMANCE OF NIGERIAN BANKS by Oloruntoba Oyedele, A. O Ahmed

“…The study, therefore, recommends that Nigerian banks should apply efficient and effective credit risk management that will ensure that loans are matched with ability to repay, loan defaults are projected accordingly, and relevant measures taken to minimise the same. Nigerian banks should also enhance periodic credit risk monitoring of their loan portfolio to increase the loan performance …”

Plant cover and hydrological response in a seasonally dry tropical forest (SDTF) by Eunice Maia Andrade, Maria Elinalda Ribeiro Costa, Júlio César Neves dos Santos, Helba Araujo de Queiroz Palácio, Jacques Carvalho Ribeiro Filho

“…The scarcity of information on the processes of rainfall-flow limits understanding of the hydrology of dry regions of the world. In order to minimise the problem, this study was developed to investigate the influence of the characteristics of rainfall events and plant cover on the effective precipitation (Pe) in a seasonally dry tropical forest (SDTF) in the Northeast of Brazil. …”
