Abstract

The ecosystem in the Niger Delta Region is highly diverse and supports numerous species of rich aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity which serves as the primary source of livelihood for the people. In order to address the oil pollution predicament this has made fishes to extinct and severe impact on human health. Three objectives and two hypotheses were raised to guide the study. Relevant and extant literatures were reviewed. This study is quantitative method and as such the questionnaire instruments was used to extract information from 45, 000 fishers in the core Niger Delta States. The demographic characteristics were analyzed by using simple percentage count and the chi-square statistical tool was used to test the hypotheses to determine the degree of freedom and significant relationship between variables. Based on the analysis, it was discovered that oil spills are usually due to continuous pipelines vandalism, gas flaring and oil drilling in the core Niger Delta States that destroy fishes and other aquatic elements in the environment. The study recommended among others that government and multinational oil companies should provide adequate measures to cushion the effect of pipelines vandalism, gas flaring and oil drilling in the Niger Delta. Government should also create synergy with non-government organizations to provide proactive measures for environmental sustainability in the Niger Delta Region.

Abstract

The pinnacle of every country's literacy and the foundation of knowledge creation and management are Higher Learning Institutions (HLIs). Widespread ethical problems are threatening HLIs. Accepting payment or presents in return for grades, utilizing other forms of academic fraud, harassing faculty, staff, and students in a sexual manner both inside and outside of the classroom, abusing power, and plagiarizing are all examples of academic fraud. These moral issues put HLIs in danger and result in the hiring of students who lack the necessary skills. Tanzania's public HLIs were the subject of this study's investigation of ethical leadership practices. The study's target population consisted of 4863 academic staff members at public HLIs in Tanzania. A sample of 350 respondents was drawn from this group using a stratified simple random sampling technique. The input provided by the respondents was examined using the Microsoft Excel application. Relative index analysis was used in this study to order the criteria according to their relative importance. The calculation of the Relative Relevance Index (RII) is important to this study because the outcome shows the ranking level of relevance. It is especially useful for surveys using a Likert scale. The overall findings demonstrate that ethical leadership behaviors in all areas (role clarity, power sharing, integrity, ethical guidance, and fairness) scored Medium-High (M-H), with the highest overall ranking of 0.7 and above. None of the moral behavior received a Higher (0.8) or higher rating. Seven (7) factors received a Medium (0.6) ranking.

Abstract

In contrast to military control, several countries have adopted democracy in recent years. While some research sees the military as a force for modernisation, other studies see democracy as a stepping stone rather than a result of growth. Tribal divides and inequality grew after Nigeria gained independence in 1960 as a result of the British occupiers' dividing of the country. After then, military involvement changed the political climate in Nigeria. This paper explores Nigeria's military governance and economic deterioration from 1960 to 1999 using historical and descriptive analysis. Along with its accomplishments, the military had to overcome significant obstacles including corruption, economic hardships, and human rights violations. The research places emphasis on how the military has developed into a centre for resource exploitation and corruption. Military commanders accumulated huge private fortunes, dominated industries including banking, agriculture, and real estate, and cemented their power in the economy and politics

Abstract

This article is the first of a two-part assessment of leadership practices in community development processes. In this first part, community leadership practices (CLPs) are established as everyday actions executed by community leaders in the administration of processes to achieve communal development. In which case, community development associations (CDAs) should be agents that facilitate community development. Therefore, the continued disbandment of CDAs by the government of Edo State Nigeria in the past 6 years is odd. Postulating that the prevailing anti-development leadership practices is the reason behind the disbandment, the authors assessed the state of CLPs in the study area to determine the justification or otherwise, for a Biomimetic leadership alternative. The assessment was by observation, news reports and document analysis. This article affirmed that dominant anti-development practices of CDA leaders are critical to lack of development and recommended drawing leadership lessons from resilient bio-communities for application in human communities

Abstract

Together with the influence of globalisation and sustainable development goals, urbanisation profoundly impacts the service delivery capacity of African subnational governments. Unfortunately, in the context of Zimbabwean local authorities, particularly urban councils, these amplified demands were not accompanied by increased capacity. Unsurprisingly, service delivery woes have become the norm. The question that arises is: Are urban local authorities in Zimbabwe, without the involvement and active participation of other stakeholders, able to confront and overcome service delivery challenges, and spearhead local development? In this article, the researchers present the impediments to collaborative governance in Zimbabwe’s urban councils and insights towards an enabling environment for collaborative governance. The researchers gathered evidence to substantiate this line of argument through qualitative desktopresearch.

Abstract

For the purpose of involving communities in primary healthcare, health facility governing committees (HFGCs) were created. This study focused on meeting frequency, feedback techniques, and difficulties to better understand how HFGCs evaluate and approve plans and budgets. A cross-sectional survey was done with 75 HFGC members from 9 sites. The majority of HFGCs (82.6%) met quarterly to improve the delivery of health services, according to descriptive analysis performed using SPSS 20. Common means of getting comments were notice boards (49.4%), village assembly (94.7%), and unofficial gatherings (69.3%). Misunderstandings (78.7%), power dynamics (61.4%), a lack of financing (81.4%), political interference (60%) and knowledge deficits were among the difficulties. Planning and budgeting were enhanced by effective HFGCs with frequent meetings and feedback systems, which in turn improved healthcare delivery

Abstract

This paper aimed to determine the accounting lecturers’ teaching practices at a South African university. Teaching practices are a complex set of ways that lecturers use for instruction. When compromisingly crafted/implemented, they impact on success. In accounting education, teaching practices were found cognitively driven to determine success. Cognitivism learning theory guided the study. It emphasises mental processes, thinking, solving complex problems, and focusing on tasks requiring increased information processing, and procedural rules. The related elements enhance accounting teaching practices. This paper used a qualitative exploratory research methodology, enabling the researcher’s engagement with participants in their natural settings. Participants were purposefully selected for this study. Data was generated through individual semi-structured interviews to determine accounting lecturers’ practices. Issues including participants’ teaching practices and challenges experienced were explored. Data was thematically analysed. Findings suggest that current accounting teaching practices are detriment to performance. Hence this paper suggests that teaching practices require intervention.

Abstract

This study examined the United Nations and the Russia-Ukraine conflict with special focus on the mediation role of the United Nations in the face of the conflict. It painstakingly analyzed the root causes of the Russia-Ukraine Conflict from State, Regional and Global perspectives. The study adopted the historical research design which accounted for the qualitative nature of the data analysis. It also adopted the conflict theoretical framework in analyzing the variables of the study. The study found out that the realpolitik of the 5 permanent (P5) members of the Security Council has rendered the United Nations impotent in resolving conflicts. Amongst others, the study recommends that effort should be made by the United Nations to check the overbearing Cold War mentality between Russia and America. It further recommends that the UN should step down its mediation role and allow other critical actors with relatively neutral posture such as China, Turkey, India, South Africa etc to mediate with a view to achieving rapprochement between Russia and Ukraine

Abstract

The only church Jesus does not commend among the seven churches of Asia is the Church of Laodicea. This is as strange as it calls for a critical look at the problem of the church. As an expansion of the existing studies on the text to Laodicea, this theological study investigates the content of the letter to the church of Laodicea in Revelation 3:14-22 to identify the church’s core problem and the central message it carries. The study examines the theological understanding of the key imagery Jesus employs to describe Laodicea’s church. The main argument is that the major problem of the church is the lack of perception, and the focus of the message lies in the caution that being spiritually indifferent is perilous, but even worse is the peril that lies in being oblivious to one's spiritual state due to a shift of focus from Jesus.

Abstract

The effective and efficient use of resources by public organizations through the force account procurement method lowers the costs of various projects, enhancing the performance of the construction projects undertaken by Local Government Authorities. Despite the benefits obtained from the use of force accounts by procuring entities, there are still challenges facing its implementation in terms of value for money. The study is guided by Resource-based View. A Cross-sectional survey design was employed; Simple random sampling was used to select a sample of 116 secondary schools using force account. Primary data was collected using structured questionnaires and interviews, while secondary data was collected through a documentary review. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to compute percentages and means of school respondents, and Multiple Regression was used for inferential statistics analysis. Qualitative data analysis was conducted using NVivo through Thematic analysis. The findings demonstrate the use of force account method has a positive and significant effect on procurement process compliance. However, secondary schools using the force account method face several challenges, including a lack of qualified personnel, difficulty in achieving intended quality, delay in delivery, inexperienced human resources to run and manage huge construction projects, poor record keeping, poor supervision, and top management interference. The study recommends capacity-building training for all force account users, a maximum threshold amount for force account usage, competent project implementation teams, or supervisors based on profession, expertise, and experience and the enforcement of ethical practices in procurement projects. Keywords: Force account, local government authorities, value for money, compliance.
