Economic empowerment and mental health are interdependent facets of sustainable well-being. This paper explores the intersection of financial literacy, psychological mindset, and strategic planning, proposing a multidisciplinary framework for addressing mental health challenges and fostering economic stability. Financial literacy equips individuals with the knowledge and skills to make informed financial decisions, reducing economic stress and its adverse effects on mental health. Similarly, a growth-oriented psychological mindset promotes resilience and adaptability, enabling individuals to navigate financial challenges effectively.

Strategic planning, encompassing long-term financial goals and mental health management, provides a structured pathway to achieving sustainable well-being. By integrating these three dimensions, this study highlights their collective potential to mitigate mental health risks, enhance economic security, and improve overall quality of life.

Using a combination of data analysis, case studies, and theoretical insights, the paper underscores the need for interdisciplinary collaboration among policymakers, educators, mental health professionals, and financial advisors. A proposed integrated framework demonstrates how these components interact to create a holistic approach to personal and societal well-being.

Visual data, including comparative tables and trend graphs, reinforce the analysis, illustrating correlations between financial literacy levels, psychological well-being, and strategic planning outcomes. The findings advocate for widespread implementation of educational programs and policies designed to empower individuals with the tools and mindset necessary for sustained economic and mental health resilience.

This multidisciplinary approach not only addresses immediate challenges but also provides a roadmap for long-term societal transformation toward greater well-being and economic equity.

The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of operational guidelines on cargo dwell time in Nigerian ports. Inefficient cargo dwell times have long hindered port efficiency, contributing to delays, increased costs, and reduced competitiveness in global trade. This study addresses a critical gap in the literature by specifically examining how adherence to standardized operational procedures influences cargo processing times. A cross-sectional survey design was employed, gathering data from 129 respondents across major Nigerian ports, including Apapa Port, Tin Can Island Port, and Port Harcourt Port. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analyses. The findings reveal a strong positive correlation (r = 0.635, p < 0.01) between adherence to operational guidelines and reduced cargo dwell time. Regression analysis indicates that operational guidelines explain 40.3% of the variation in dwell time (R² = 0.403), with a unit increase in adherence associated with a 0.582-day reduction in dwell time. This study addresses a significant gap in the literature, which often generalizes inefficiencies in cargo dwell time without isolating the role of operational guidelines. By providing empirical evidence of this relationship, the research underscores the importance of clear, consistent, and enforced operational procedures in improving port efficiency. These findings have practical implications for port management and policymakers, suggesting that adherence to operational guidelines, supported by technology and infrastructure improvements, can enhance the efficiency of Nigerian ports.

The study investigated the interplay among liquidity management measures and bank profitability in Nigeria, focusing on market liquidity, reserve management liquidity, and cashflow management. Using an ex post facto research design, the study analyzes secondary data from the audited financial reports of 10 commercial banks quoted on the Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX). These banks were selected based on their regulatory compliance and transparent reporting. Regression and correlation analyses were employed to test the hypotheses regarding the relationship between liquidity management and bank profitability, specifically profit after tax (PAT). The findings reveal an unfavourable and insignificant interplay among market liquidity and PAT, while reserve management liquidity and cashflow management show positive and significant relationships with PAT. The study concludes that effective reserve and cashflow management positively influences bank performance, while market liquidity strategies require reassessment. These results highlight the importance of prioritizing reserve and cashflow management to enhance profitability in Nigerian banks.

The study examined the impact of strike action on employee performance in public University in Bayelsa State. The study adopted descriptive survey design. The population of 150 employees which comprises academic staff of Niger Delta University Amassoma, Bayelsa State. 135 sample size was determined using Taro Yamene formula. Data collected from the respondents via questionnaire were analyzed using sample frequency distribution, while hypotheses were tested using chi-square (x2) formula at 0.05 probability level. Findings revealed that the causes of strike actions in tertiary institutions arise due to unnecessary protocols imposed by those in the accounts department or salaries lodged in personal accounts for interests. The study also revealed that wage reductions, resulting from several sources such as taxes, government policies, management initiated institutional welfare etc remain vital reasons for strike actions in institutions of higher learning. Based on the findings, the study concluded that strike action is an ongoing trend in institutions and eradicative measures could be used painstakingly, but possible, and when adopted could bring about a relief in industrial peace and stability in tertiary institutions like Niger Delta University. The study therefore, recommends amongst others that autonomy of tertiary institutions should be an issue that demands urgent approval to avoid unnecessary interference of government in the internal affairs of tertiary institutions.
