Abstract: The crises of product and service innovation in most organisations due to global competition and the need for scientific research in the project portfolio management discipline were factors that motivated this research. The purpose of this study is to investigate how project portfolio management(ppm) contributes to product and service innovation. A questionnaire was developed to gather data to compare the PPM methods used, PPM performance and resulting new product success measures in sixty Nigeria organisations in a diverse range of service and manufacturing industries. The study findings indicated that PPM practices have a greater impact in the new product and services success rate. Also, business strategy method result in better alignment of the projects in the portfolio.

| Title | : | Fiscal Federalism and Resource Control in Nigeria |
| Country | : | Nigeria |
| Authors | : | Ngozi Nwogwugwu, PhD. || Adewale K. Kupoluyi |
Abstract: Fiscal federalism has occupied the front burner of political discourse in Nigeria, since the return to civilian rule. The oil producing states of Niger delta region have been very vocal in their agitations for restructuring of the parameters for sharing the wealth of the nation which is located within their domain. Other southern states joined the agitations for resource control, which is believed would make more resources available to the various states to ensure development. The agitations have arisen because a larger portion of the national wealth is allocated to the federal government at the detriment of the oil producing states. The paper examined the genesis of fiscal centralization and decentralization
