Abstract: The main problem faced by the lower income group people is the non accessibility of banking and other financial services, which causes hindrance in their social and economic development. These financial products include insurance, credit etc. The great tragedy lies in the fact that sometimes even though there are certain financial services which are specially designed to meet the needs of these low income group people, these people are not aware of it due to illiteracy or any other reason. Thus lack of awareness also leads to the financial exclusion of these people. For the achievement of financial inclusion, the most important goal is to make the banking facilities available to all the unbanked areas and to each and every household.

Abstract: An examination of the performance of universities around the world indicates that no Nigerian University is rated among the top and reputable universities. There is no gain in saying that the mission statements, goals and expectations of the founders have not been achieved since their global performance, competitiveness and reputation are low. This may be attributed to the fact that modern approaches to learning and teaching that bring students; universities and communities together are not considered in academic curriculum and programs in Nigeria. Universities are ranked based on certain criteria including learning, teaching, and research and to a greater extent community service. Therefore, this article examines an emerging approach to the Nigerian educational............
