Assessing the Impact of Airline Deregulation on the Growth and Performance of Nigeria’s Aviation Industry

  • Survival Analysis of Airlines

    • Given the high failure rate (53%), you could conduct a Kaplan-Meier survival analysis to examine the lifespan of airlines in Nigeria.
    • Variables needed: Year of establishment, year of closure (if applicable), and operational status (active/inactive).

  • Regression Analysis on Airfare Reduction & Passenger Growth

    • A linear regression could assess the relationship between airfare reductions (independent variable) and passenger traffic growth (dependent variable).
    • Hypothesis: Lower fares significantly increase passenger numbers.
    • Data needed: Yearly airfare prices and corresponding passenger traffic.

  • ANOVA for Flight Delays & Economic Losses

    • One-way ANOVA could determine if there are significant differences in flight delay times across different airlines.
    • Dependent variable: Average flight delay time per airline.
    • Independent variable: Airline group (e.g., domestic vs. international, low-cost vs. full-service).

  • Correlation Between Airline Failures & Economic Factors

    • A Pearson correlation could test whether factors like fuel costs, GDP growth, or currency exchange rates are linked to airline failures.
    • Data needed: Historical airline failures, aviation fuel prices, and macroeconomic indicators.

Design and Automation of Online Examination and Evaluation System

Computers are widely recognized for their diverse applications, particularly in scientific and mathematical domains. However, limited attention has been given to developing a comprehensive and efficient online examination system within this context. This gap highlights the necessity of designing and implementing an online examination and evaluation system. At present, online examination systems play a crucial role in higher education institutions worldwide, as traditional manual examination processes are associated with numerous challenges. These issues can be effectively addressed by leveraging Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to improve the administration and management of examinations within academic institutions.

The implementation of an online examination system will greatly benefit both the institution and the students. It will provide students with a more convenient and efficient way to take assessments while ensuring instant result generation with complete accuracy and security. This research project aims to assist university examination boards in organizing, conducting, and managing examinations in a more reliable, fast, and sustainable manner compared to conventional manual methods.

Traditional examination systems present several challenges, including delays in result processing, time-consuming question paper creation, difficulties in verifying correct and incorrect answers, and the high risk of data loss. Additionally, retrieving records in a manual system is often slow and cumbersome. The primary objective of this project is to develop an online examination system that allows students to take tests and instantly access their results. A key advantage of this system is its ability to enable students to sit for examinations remotely while receiving immediate feedback. This feature helps eliminate concerns about unfair grading, a common issue in traditional examination methods.
