Public services have so far been considered to be far from the expectations and desires of the community. The expected services are services that are fast, precise, easy, transparent, uncomplicated, and professional. The research aims to determine the strategy for improving public services carried out by the Regional Technical Implementation Unit (UPTD) Office of the East Kalimantan Province Regional Revenue Service in Samarinda. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative research. The data analysis used is qualitative data analysis which begins with the process of data collection, data simplification, data presentation, and conclusion. In this research, data collection techniques using literature studies, and field studies are used, namely by collecting data through observation, documentation, and interviews to obtain clearer information on what is needed in the research. The results of the research show that: (1) the strategy to improve public services at the UPTD Office of the Regional Revenue Service of East Kalimantan Province in Samarinda has gone well, namely: building service quality and improving service management, building a culture of awareness of the importance of service quality, providing parking spaces spacious, large warehouse, comfortable waiting room and place to fill out forms for customers, and installation of signboards for procedures or flow in providing services, there are information boards relating to service information; and (2) the inhibiting factor in improving public services at the UPTD Office of the Regional Revenue Service of East Kalimantan Province in Samarinda, namely that there are still some employee errors in providing services, although there are no longer many.</strong></p>2024-03-21T19:44:04+00:00##submission.copyrightStatement##https://gphjournal.org/index.php/ssh/article/view/1293Insurance Investments and Economic Performance in Nigeria2024-03-25T20:35:52+00:00Omiete Victoria Olulu-Briggsomiete.olulu-briggs@uniport.edu.ngFred Vincent Fred-Horsfallfred.horsfall@uniport.edu.ng<p><strong>The study looks at insurance investment and economic performance in Nigeria between 1996: Q1 and 2022:Q4. Secondary series were obtained without bias from the Central Bank of Nigeria's statistical database. At the 95 percent confidence level, the Johansen co-integration, VEC Granger Causality, and VECM were used. The presence of long-run form among the variables is demonstrated by Johansen co-integration; the absence of joint supports for gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) and gross domestic product (GDP) is demonstrated by the VEC Granger Causality (GDP). For VECM, shares and bonds, and real estate and mortgage investment significantly retard GFCF, whereas government securities only significantly reduce GFCF; government securities and shares and bonds are negative but significant to GDP, but real estate and mortgage investment significantly promotes GDP. In addition, we find that errors in the short run are corrected at a rate of 6% and 7.7% in the long run for GFCF and GDP, respectively. In conclusion, insurance investments have a negative impact on Nigeria's economic performance. As a result, we advocate for an increase in the breadth of the Nigerian exchange's product offering; the revitalization of failing and ailing firms in terms of restructuring, where most of the funds of insurance firms have been channeled; and a halt to investment in government securities, which slows economic performance. Furthermore, more funds should be committed to real estate and mortgage in order to stimulate economic progress, as it promotes economic progress infinitesimally.</strong></p>2024-03-25T00:00:00+00:00##submission.copyrightStatement##
