. Petanque is a relatively new sport at the moment. This pétanque sport includes games where the props are an iron ball (BOSI) and a wooden ball (BOKA). In this game the target is to throw the iron ball so that it is closest to the wooden ball. This research was conducted to find out how developed the sport of pétanque is among school students. The method used in this research is by conducting outreach to students in grades 4 and 5 of elementary school. This article was created to provide insight and knowledge about the sport of pétanque to elementary school students. This is done so that it can produce outstanding pétanque athletes.

In order to reduce poverty and inequality and increase economic growth and productivity, the paper examines the importance of financial inclusion and national development in Nigeria, with a focus on Niger State. It does this by assisting individuals and businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), in saving and investing, managing financial risks, and facilitating smooth consumption. This study identifies major supply-side and demand-side obstacles to financial inclusion as well as structural barriers, and it draws attention to Niger's relative behind other WAEMU nations in terms of youth and women's use of formal financial services. In order to assist the nation's development goal, it lays out major targets for Niger to harness the potential of increased financial inclusion. These include initiatives to address inadequate financial literacy, encourage digitization, and address informality.

<p><em>Over an extended duration, small-scale farmers have been contending with the persistent issue of electricity scarcity, which adversely affects crop production, particularly during dry seasons. The dependence on generators, despite being expensive and environmentally harmful due to oil spillage and Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, remains a prevalent yet unsustainable solution. Wind energy emerges as a promising alternative with diverse benefits for farmers, addressing concerns related to irrigation, storage, and water management, ultimately leading to significant yield increases during dry periods. This study investigates the performance of a small-scale wind energy conversion system tailored for the irrigation needs of farmers in arid regions, focusing on Zaria Local Government, Kaduna State, Nigeria as a case study. Utilizing wind speed data from the Nigeria Meteorological Agency (NIMET), the system's electrical parameters, including voltage, current, frequency, and power, were analyzed to assess fluctuations resulting from wind speed variations. Results show significant variability in electrical parameters: wind speed ranged from 3.10 m/s to 9.83 m/s, resulting in fluctuations in generated voltage (98 volts to 250 volts), current (51 amps to 103 amps), frequency (39 Hz to 65 Hz), and power (5.1 kW to 20.6 kW). Converter systems were found effective in stabilizing output for grid integration: the AC/DC converter converted fluctuating AC signals into stable DC output (200 volts, 93 amps), while the subsequent DC/AC inverter produced non-fluctuating AC output (voltage: 200 volts, current: 92 amps, frequency: 50 Hz, power: 18.3 kW). These findings emphasize feasibility of implementing wind energy solutions in remote agricultural areas.</em></p>
