The study examines Nigeria's resource allocation and usage as the gap in the country's pursuit of sustainable progress. The primary goal of the study is to investigate how Nigeria has struggled to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) due to inefficient use and distribution of financial, human, and material resources. Human and material resources are essential in every aspect of a company. An organization's ability to advance in all directions might be hindered by poorly managed human and material resources. Resources management offers a systematic assessment, requisitioning, and approval process for the evaluation and acquisition of products, equipment, and resources. The goal of resources management is to continuously seek opportunities to reduce costs and improve performance through the cost-effective selection and standardization of products, equipment, and related processes. A successful and efficient local government system will be preceded by well-managed human resources and material resources. while preserving or raising the standard of the services and care that are offered to the public. Subjectivism serves as the ontological orientation in this study, which employs a qualitative approach grounded in interpretivist philosophy. According to the study's findings, corruption, ethnic prejudices, poor governance, a lack of accountability, a lack of transparency, and unnecessary expenditure on pointless activities have all contributed to Nigeria's egregious inefficiency in resource allocation and use. According to the study's conclusion, Nigeria would be headed toward sustainable development if appropriate project planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation were done transparently and resources were used and distributed effectively. Therefore, the report suggests that Nigeria adopt economic and technical efficiencies in the distribution and use of its resources in order to achieve the aims of sustainable development.

This study aims to apply the concept of probability in the assessment system to assess students' eligibility to receive scholarships. By applying a probabilistic approach, especially Bayes' Theorem, this study develops a more objective and data-based evaluation method. The method used is a quantitative approach with probabilistic analysis, allowing the calculation of students' chances of getting scholarships based on factors such as Cumulative Achievement Index (IPK) and Single Tuition Fee (UKT). The data analyzed includes primary data from students applying for scholarships as well as secondary data from historical records of previous scholarship acceptances. The results of the study show that GPA plays a significant role in increasing the chances of receiving a scholarship, where students with higher GPAs are more likely to be accepted. Conversely, students with high UKT tend to have lower chances, indicating that financial conditions are also a major factor in selection. This probability-based approach increases transparency and fairness in the selection system and reduces subjectivity in decision making. This study confirms that a probability-based scoring system can be a fairer and more accurate solution in assessing the eligibility of scholarship recipients. It is hoped that the results of this study can be a reference for educational institutions in developing a more data-based and objective selection system.
