Item Evaluation of Perception of Stakeholders on Key Performance Indicators for U.B.E Building Projects(Journal of Multidisciplinary Engineering Science and Technology (JMEST), 2015-03-02) Alumbugu, Polycarp Olaku, Abdulazeez, Abdulmumin, Saidu, Ibrahim, Ola-Awo, Wasiu Adeniran,Tsado Abel John—A project performance can be measured traditionally by three factors, which are co, time and quality. Researchers however argued that the measure of project success can no longer be restricted to the traditional indicators. Key performance indicators vary from project to project. Despite much work on the subject, there is no commonly agreed framework of performance measurement on projects. To bridge this gap, this research targets to investigate the perception of stakeholders on key performance indicators (KPIs) in the context of Universal Basic Education (U.B.E) building project in Niger state, Nigeria. The study explores key performance indicators in perspective of various stakeholders within (client, consultants, contractors, principal/teacher, parent, pupil/student and member of community) within U.B.E. Data for the study were sourced from a total of seventy (70) structured questionnaire administered to the stakeholders of the selected U.B.E primary school projects using the simple stratified sampling technique. The data collected were analyzed using the descriptive method comprising of the mean score and ranking methods. It was found out that the traditional measures of the iron triangle (on-time, under budget and according to specifications) are most criteria for measuring delivery of projects, it also shows that project executed by U.B.E are delivered within time, on budget and quality. It also revealed that stakeholders are satisfied with the UBE building project.Item Climate Change, Development and the Cities; Perception of the Residents of Minna, Niger State(Centre for Human Settlement and Urban Development Journal(CHSUD Journal), 2013) Dalil Musa; Musa, Haruna D.The level of an individual or communal understanding of climate change would engender any consequential response to planning activities. The assessment of urban residence perception of climate change issues in Minna town was measured based on a field survey conducted using structured questionnaires. A total of 2000 structured questionnaires were administered using systematic random sampling techniques. That’s 80 questionnaires, each was assigned to 25 existing wards covering the entire study area. The result of the field survey analysis reveals that 79.2% of the respondents are aware of changes in the general weather conditions of their environment, but attributed it to an increase in temperature or natural changes(46.4%). The result also shows that 816 of the respondents, representing 81.6%, could not directly link urban planning within the environment with climate change. This research has concluded that though people are aware of the changes in the climate conditions in their environment, the majority of people felt that emissions from vehicles, generators, etc., could not contribute to climate change, but merely cause environmental pollution. The reasons advanced by most of the respondents were that carbon monoxide emitted from cooking stoves and automobiles is too insignificant to have any negative effect on the global climate.
