Abstract
Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is the resultant of gender-related power inequalities at both public and private spheres. GBV occurrence in rural and urban areas of Ibadan is the focus of this study. The study evaluated the attitude and factors associated with GBV occurrence among rural and urban households in Ibadan, Nigeria. Data were collected from 200 respondents in Ibadan using interview schedule and structured questionnaire. Descriptive (frequency counts and percentages) and inferential statistics (PPMC and Regression analysis) were used to analyse the data collected. Many of the respondents (53.3%) had a favourable attitude against GBV. Household size (β = 0.204), attitude against GBV (β = -0.394), family influence (β = 0.287), superiority complex (β = 0.633) and substance abuse (β = 0.347) were factors associated with the rate of GBV occurrence. Despite the favourable attitude of people against GBV, the menace is still prevalent in the society. The general public needs enlightenment on the jeopardy associated with GBV. It is therefore recommended that suitable strategies like social media advocacy and entertainment education be put in place to enlighten the populace on the magnitudes of GBV occurrence so as to abate it among inhabitants.

Summary
Effective administration is a sine qua non to the achievement of organizations’ objectives, school inclusive. It is a fact that effective administration of a school is a herculean task because it involves the administration of the human resources (i.e. teachers, non-teachers, and pupils/students); financial resources; physical, as well as the material resources. Issues, such as indiscipline of staff and pupils/students, inadequate financial resources, inadequate and decay infrastructural facilities, inadequate and poor quality teachers, non-commitment of teachers, just to mention a few abound, which are undermining the achievement of the set objectives. Effective management of a school has been observed to transcend the level and capacity of head and staff. The need to achieve a turnaround in the way schools are managed in Nigeria, so that the set objectives can be achieved, necessitated a break from the tradition of allowing only the principal/headteacher to dictate everything in school. There is the need for involvement of other stakeholders, such as government, parents, community members, for the challenges to be surmounted and the objectives of school to be achieved
