Abstract. Electoral reforms have been considered as sustainable means of improving on the quality of elections in Nigeria, this is especially as it avails the country, tremendous opportunities in admitting new policies such as new techniques, technologies and improved systems of protecting the welfare of electorates. It is evident from the literature that, public relations overtime has been a unifying factor in accelerating Nigeria's democracy and sustaining its need for periodic elections and encouraging the conduct of free, fair and transparent elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Based on the level of malpractices and issues associated with the conduct of elections in Nigeria, it was concluded in this paper that, there are several benefits attached to the process of electoral reforms in Nigeria, hence, it gives government the opportunity to revamp its electoral policies through campaigns, introduction of new technologies, voting and more importantly, the nature of conducting elections bearing in mind that, poorly adopted electoral policies normally lead to the outbreak of crisis from aggrieved parties. It is recommended amongst others that, government at all levels should consider periodic electoral reforms as a strategy for development and as such; they should ensure that only people with credibility are charged with the mandate of presiding over electoral reform committees (ERC).Keywords.

The paper assessed academic commitment and household responsibilities among Married Female Students (MFS) in Nigerian Tertiary Institutions. MFS in Nigerian tertiary institutions face a unique set of challenges as they strive to juggle their academic activities with domestic responsibilities. This balancing act often tips towards the domestic sphere, posing significant hurdles for their educational endeavours. This paper adopts a secondary data generation method, relying on empirical literature to gather information for analysis. The content analysis technique was employed to derive themes, aggregate scholarly viewpoints, and subsequently analyse the data. The findings of this paper reveal that a majority of MFS encounter domestic-related challenges that inevitably impact their academic performance. Based on a comprehensive review of the literature, these domestic challenges manifest in various ways, such as irregular lecture attendance, diminished concentration in class, and limited study hours. Unsurprisingly, these issues often result in poor academic performance and, in some cases, lead to dropouts from their educational pursuits. In light of these findings, several recommendations emerge. First and foremost, MFS needs to adopt effective time management strategies while attending tertiary institutions. This can be accomplished by creating a well-structured timetable that accommodates both domestic and academic responsibilities. Such an approach can help MFS maintain a successful academic career while fostering a harmonious and peaceful matrimonial home.
