Forest conservation is the practice of planting and maintaining forested areas for the benefit and sustainability of future generations. Forest conservation involves the upkeep of the natural resources within a forest that are beneficial to both humans and the environment. This paper attempts an insightful look at the contributions of forest conservation in Ngongbaa on agricultural land use change and how it affects crop production and subsequently the population. This approach considers forest as an important asset to the entire rural community and forest conservation as an obstacle to their development. The methodology used consisted of data collection through interviews, questionnaire administration, participant observation and on-the-spot appraisal. The findings revealed that forest conservation is hindering crop production which directly affects the provision of basic needs like food, clothing and home heating. There is the need for creating an enabling environment which will assist indigenes without making them become miserable such as; encouraging indigenes to carryout apicultural activities in and out of the forest, promote and encourage farmers to carry out agroforestry activities, as well as encouraging indigenes through financial aid to carry out small and medium size trade. This will help to boost their income and diversify their rural activities.

Industrial actions are all forms of work dissatisfaction that can manifest in several ways like absenteeism, strike, high labour turnover among others. This has posed a lot of threats to all sectors of the economy and affected Nigeria society socially, economically and politically. Two theoretical postulations were used to investigate the perceived causes and effects of industrial actions in South West Nigeria. Survey research which involved 400 respondents from four randomly selected local governments was employed in the study. Data, which were sourced from both primary and secondary sources, were analysed using quantitative and qualitative methods. From the findings, the respondents revealed that hike petroleum price (85.3%), poor working conditions (66.3%), labour union interest (72.6%), members’ welfare (64.2%) and failure of management to keep to agreement (73.7%) were some of the factors responsible for industrial actions in Nigeria. Also, the respondents confirmed that undeveloped economy (70.6%), political stability (53.7%), development of entrepreneurial skills (66.3%), improved government administrative efficiency (70.5%), brain drain (80%), and increased poverty (60%) were the perceived outcomes of industrial actions on Nigeria political economy. On the efficacy of strike actions, respondents affirmed that labour union objectives are usually attained during strike (64.2%), and there were increases on wage labour (65.3%). Based on the findings, strike favours the workers, and negatively affects the nation and government in the long run. Thus, it was recommended that, there is need for stable labour-management relations between the government, industries and employees that will enhance a good bargaining environment. Also, there is need to improve on minimum wage policy of the government for the employees so as to improve the welfare of the employees and reduce the incidences of strike actions.
