Implementing Fuzzy TOPSIS on Project Risk Variable Ranking by Saiful Husin, Fachrurrazi Fachrurrazi, Maimun Rizalihadi, Mubarak Mubarak

“…Managing construction risks with a large number of risks with small impact can increase the additional effort and cost of inefficient construction. Therefore the variables need to be eliminated. The aim of this study is ranking the risk variable based on its frequency of occurrence by integrating time, cost, and quality criteria simultaneously and selecting the top ten variables with the order of the most significant impact. …”

THE NIGERIAN OIL RESOURCEAND SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUND: AN INTERROGATION by Joshua DANJUMA

“…The paper adopts content analysis of mainly secondary sources to examine the research problem at stake using the resource curse theory. Findings reveal poor political institutions, corruption and lack of accountability, weak executive control of oil resource governance with apparent inadequate checks and balances, and the resultant conflicts and clashes of interests, manipulations, and inflation of oil contracts with favouritism in allocating oil blocs to cronies.Therefore, this articleshades in a newlight by interrogating the Nigerian Sovereign Wealth Fund to ensure optimal benefits of oil wealth to all citizenry; it submits that measures must be adopted in building political institutions, reforming the Niger Delta Development Commission; diversification, building a welfare state, equitable distribution of oil wealth and the imposition of direct tax. …”
