Monitoring and control is an essential process in construction project management and delivery. It is therefore imperative for construction companies to employ the usage of the most effective monitoring and control techniques available to meet project objectives. This study examined project management techniques employed by Ondo State Agency for Road Maintenance and Construction, a construction company in Ondo State, Nigeria.The research design that was used for this study is the survey method where copies of a well-structured questionnaire were distributed to elicit appropriate information from respondents. The results showed thatthere is a relationship existing between the type of project monitoring and control technique used by a construction company and project delivery/success and that the use of Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) for time/schedule control and Earned Value Management (EVM) (alongside other monitoring and control techniques) for cost control as used by the company are very effective in meeting set project objectives.Based on the findings, a number of recommendations were made. Among these are, that monitoring and control units should be established withinconstruction companies and well-trained workers/professionals should be put in charge of handling these units and the techniques and tools used therein.

 2017

This study assesses the role of legislation in the development of the Nigerian solid mineral sector. The aim of the assessment is to determine how well Nigeria mining companies comply with some key provisions of mining and mineral legislation and also to determine the influence of these legislations on the mining industries. For the purpose of this study, the Mining Act of 2007; The Mining Regulations of 2011; The explosives Act of 1964 and Explosives Regulations of 1967 which are the major legislations governing the activities of mining in Nigeria were reviewed, some specific provisions were extracted and compliance to theses extracted provisions were assessed. Thirty mining firms were assessed with the aid of a questionnaire in order to determine the level of their compliance to the identified provisions of mining legislations. Data acquired and assessed include compliance of these mineral industries with the provisions of the mining legislations on explosives magazines administration; Safety and health requirements; Production reporting and royalty payments. The results indicate that the mining industries assessed comply with most of the requirements on safety and health and also with royalty payments. It is however revealed that most of the provisions of mining legislations on explosives magazine administration are not well complied with.

 Management Information System As A Tool For The Determination Of Legislative Compliance In Nigerian Solid Minerals Industries

 Z. O. Opafunso And O. D. Eniowo

 2006

The study developed a management information system called Q – Analyser software to determine the legislative compliance in Nigerian solid mineral industries taking Edo state as a case study. Data were collected from the field by administering questionnaires to top mineral extractive industries within the study area. These data was thereafter input to software {Q-Analyser} to determine the level of compliance to the provisions of mineral laws and regulations. The findings reveal that only two {2} companies out the thirty {30} companies assessed have defaulted the provisions of the law as regards appropriate royalty payment and only one {1} defaulted as regards prompt royalty payment. However, it was discovered that twenty three {23} companies out of the thirty {30} companies defaulted the provisions of the law as regards the standard required safety distance for situating explosives magazines from dwelling places. It was also discovered that twenty three {23} companies out of the thirty {30} companies assessed engage incompetent personnel in the administration of it explosives magazine contrary to the provision of the law. This indicates that most mineral extractive industries within the study area have challenges to comply with the provisions of the laws of explosives magazine administration.
