ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Eine Lingua franca aus afrikanischen Quellen fur Nigeria: der heutige Stand Durch innenpolitische Hemmnisse ist es bisher nicht gelungen, aus der Vielzahl der vorgeschlagenen afrikanischen Sprachen eine als Nationalsprache Nigerias auszuwählen. Der Artikel erörtert die Suche nach einer nigerianischen Nationalsprache seit der Unabhängigkeit 1960 und analysiert verschiedene Faktoren, die eine Einigung bisher verhindert haben. Die Entscheidung für eine der vorhandenen afrikanischen Sprachen hätte das politische Gleichgewicht in Nigeria in Gefahr gebracht. Englisch oder ein modernisiertes und genormtes Nigerianisches Pidgin würden sich eignen. RESUMO Interlingvo el afrikaj fontoj en Nigerio: la vojo gis nun Enlanda politiko blokis gis nun la elekton de nigeria nacia lingvo el inter la multaj afrikaj lingvoj proponitaj por tiu rolo. La artikolo prezentas la serčon de nigeria nacia lingvo depost la sendependigo de la lando en 1960 kaj analizas la diversajn faktorojn, kiuj malebligis interkonsenton.

Nigeria and Malaysia have almost similar historical background; both had sultan as spiritual and government leader in their major areas, colonized by British and got independence in 1960 and 1957 respectively. Presently, Malaysia has recorded human development increments from 1980 to date and aspire to be a developed country in 2020. While Nigeria has recorded poverty increments from 1980 to date and it may likely be among underdeveloped countries in 2020. The purpose of this study was to make judgments about Technical and Vocational Education and training (TVET) systems of Malaysia and Nigeria. The idea was to see what makes Malaysian system successful and how Nigeria addressed its TVET problems. The methodology employed in this paper was analytical method of study that involved evaluation based on critical reading and review of materials which include Nigeria and Malaysia education philosophies, policies, TVET curriculums, employability skills, Malaysian Human Development Index and Nigeria’s Poverty Incidence. Findings revealed that education philosophy and education policy of Malaysia is intellectually, spiritually, emotionally and physically balanced based on firm belief and devotion to God while Nigerian education philosophy and policy are limited to intellectual and physical development. Malaysia TVET curriculum is equipped with employability skills including core skills, generic skills and personal attributes which are likely contributed to Malaysian human development and full employment of TVET graduates. Malaysia has recorded increments in human and economic developments from 1980 to date while Nigeria TVET curriculum has not been integrated with employability skills which are likely contributed to Nigeria’s poverty incidence and high Nigerian unemployment rate across all educational levels including TVET graduates at both secondary and tertiary levels. Nigeria has recorded steady increase of poverty incidence from 1980 to date.

That Nigeria is unstable is no longer a secret. That its instability is connected to Nigerian citizens who feel no belonging to the Nigerian entity is not to be disputed. Seeing a stable new Nigeria, with which one can identify, remains the desire of many Nigerians. By discussing the Nigerian personality, this article has been able to examine the major causes of instability in the country. Watching videos being a major means of relaxation in Nigeria, this article postulates the translation of movies as a real tool to reconstruct the Nigerian personality towards one who would feel Nigerian and therefore experience the desire to see a Nigeria that works. The scopos theory served as a theoretical framework for this research. It was discovered that translating movies can help Nigerians to understand and see themselves as Nigerian and therefore stop instability.

Nigeria-China trade and investment relations are claimed to move to the advantage of China. Hence, the more their trade relation flourishes, the more Nigeria experiences trade deficits, and the more China records trade surpluses. In this scenario, Nigeria depends more on imports from China than China. That is why Nigerian market is overflowed with Chinese made products such as cell phones, television sets and so forth. The study examined how Nigeria-China relations impact on the manufacturing sector in Nigeria. The study employed secondary source of data collection and relied on ‘content analysis’ as a technique for data analysis. There has been recorded failure of Nigeria to compete favourably with China in terms of import and export of manufactured products. The manufacturing sector in Nigeria remains far behind to commensurately compete with China’s. Over concentration on the oil sector is directly linked to over reliance of the Nigerian economy on oil sector. The study draws a paradigm shift from the argument that China relations with Nigeria is imperialistic, to a hypothesis that the failure of the Nigerian government to adequately reposition Nigerian manufacturing to a globally competitive status through research and development as well as human capacity building, is thus, mainly responsible. The disarticulated economic structures Nigeria is currently maintaining is less capable of guaranteeing the development of the manufacturing sector that can enjoy competitive advantages in the international markets. Policy actions that are geared towards human capacity building and provision of sustainable incentives to local investors are needed.

In most developing countries, several cases of collapses or failure in the banking sector were witnessed. Nigeria had witnessed several cases and collapsed in the banking sector. This study investigated the effects of corporate governance on the financial performance of commercial banks in Nigeria. The study used the survey research design. A secondary source of data was used for this research. The data were collected from financial statements of the five (5) commercial banks selected from the Nigerian Stock Exchange listing for fourteen financial years (2003 – 2017). The study utilized the panel Least Squares Regression Analysis as the method. The result indicated that board size had significant effects on financial performance (ROA) of commercial banks in Nigeria, board composition had significant effects on financial performance (ROA) of commercial banks in Nigeria, board gender diversity had significant effects on financial performance (ROA) of commercial banks in Nigeria, the audit committee has no significant effects on financial performance (ROA) of commercial banks in Nigeria, and board independence had significant effects on financial performance (ROA) of commercial banks in Nigeria. The study, therefore, concludes that the weak corporate governance structure in Nigeria contributed immensely to the recent crisis experienced in the Nigerian banking sector. The study recommended that banks develop and implement strategic training for board members and senior bank managers. Nigerian banks should appropriately adopt the international codes of corporate governance to meet the need of the Nigerian environment, among other recommendations.

Nigeria is at the brink of failure as a state partly because of its inability to control the activities of armed non-state actors. In reality, armed bandits now run their own government in parts of Nigeria; they compel citizens to pay tax, seek permission to work on their farms, and sell their goods at the market. This parallel government system operating in many states in Nigeria have not had equal state-actor forces against them. Extant studies on government response to banditry have extensively examined roles played by security agencies, whereas how the idiosyncrasies of the Nigerian president stimulate the surge in insecurity in Nigeria has been hardly investigated. The article examines this while utilizing qualitative method that relies on desktop reviews. Findings indicated that despite the military background of the Nigerian president, the country and its citizens have hardly felt safe under his current administration. Also, President Buhari’s approach to end banditry has widely been criticized in Nigeria. It concludes that banditry in Nigeria could have been a thing of the past if the Nigerian president effectively enforced his political will.

The paper carries out a review of the environmental problems associated with atmospheric pollution, air quality emissions and applicable control mechanisms in the detection and evaluation in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria in the light of global trends and best practices given the magnitude of gas flaring taking place in Nigeria’s Niger Delta daily. This is flowing from the findings that gas flaring continues to be a major health hazard to humanity, domestic and global environment. Also considered are the Challenges facing air quality and carbon management in Nigeria and the place of the ongoing National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) funded research on air quality and carbon management and the recent release of the twin regulations of: the Flare Gas (Prevention Of Waste And Pollution) Regulations, 2018 and the Nigerian Gas Flare Commercialization Programme (NGFCP) by the Federal Government Of Nigeria aimed at stopping gas flares in the year, 2020. The paper adopts an admixture of the historical, comparative, the law and development and empirical approaches in appropriate cases.

SOMMAIRE Le Guosa: Un code linguistique inconnu au Nigeria Cet article examine le propos d'Alex Igbinéwékâ d'utiliser le Guosa comme langue indigène nationale au Nigéria. C'est une langue qu'il a même construite des mots et formes de mots issus des langues principales et secondaires nigérianes. Bien que l'auteur reconnaisse l'idée d'une telle langue, il rejette cependant son acceptabilité comme langue codifiée, reconnue et utilisée par les Nigérians. Il est suggéré que la tentative de construire de façon démocratique une lingua franca indigène à partir d'environ quatre cents langues reconnaissables au Nigeria sans aucun appui scientifique revient à une sur-démocratisation. L'auteur conclut, pour dire le mieux, que le Guosa n'est qu'une proposition embryonnaire. RESUMO Guosa: nekonata lingva kodo en Nigerio Alex Igbinéwékâ proponis utiligon de Guosa, lingvo kiun li konstruis el vortoj kaj vorto-formoj en cefaj kaj malgrandaj nigeriaj lingvoj, kiel indigena nacia lingvo de Nigerio. Kvankam la aŭtoro principe akceptas tian lingvon, li ne akceptas la aserton ke Guosa estas akceptebla planlingvo en Nigerio kaj ke gi estas konata kaj uzata de nigerianoj. Provo konstrui demokrate indigenan interlingvon el proksimume kvarcent rekoneblaj lingvoj en Nigerio sen gvidaj prin-cipoj au sciencaj metodoj konsistigas trodemokratigon. En plej bona okazo, Guosa ne estas pli ol embria propono.

Earnings Management, discretionary accruals, IFRS adoption, consumer goods firms, Nigeria. The study looked at earnings management practices in Nigerian consumer goods firms between pre and post-adoption of IFRS and earnings management in Nigeria. It involved twenty-one Nigerian firms in the Nigeria Exchange Group, with nine being sampled due to data availability. The Modified Jones Model, a well-known profits management model created by Dechow, Sloan, and Sweeney in 1995, was used. This research examined how IFRS has affected the way companies in Nigeria control their earnings from 2012 to 2022. The study examined earnings management practices in Nigerian consumer goods companies using an ex-post facto research design and non-parametric tests. Results showed no significant change in earnings management practices due to the adoption of IFRS.

Political instability has been a consistent feature in Nigeria long before the current wave of military rule. Thus, the average Nigerian has not known peace and has been in consistent search of stability and predictability in the political sphere for a long time. Political instability has now attained alarming proportions, with spill over effects that have turned Nigeria into a refugee-producing country. Three contributing factors of the Nigerian government in generating refugees have been the continual rewriting of the Nigerian Constitution, the seemingly-endless creation of states, and warped government policies and programs.

Le delta littoral du Niger est une plaine de basse altitude (20 m maximum) et de grande étendu par rapport aux autres deltas en Afrique. Il couvre 36. 269 kilomètres carré mais faiblement peuple, environ 5. 069. 00 h (projection 1989) avec une densité d'environ 140h au kilomètre carré. Il occupe la majeure partie du plateau bas continental nigérian qui plonge de Lagos au Cameroun. Il se situe entre les longitudes 5 et 6 04' e et les latitudes 8 48' n et 4 7' s et limite par les fleuves Bénin à l'ouest et Bonny à l'est.

The delta spreads over the main part of the low Nigerian continental shelf which runs from Lagos to Cameroon. It is situated between longitudes 5w and 6 04' e and the latitudes 8 48' n and 4 7' s and is bounded by the Benin river (to the west) and the Bonny river (to the east). The main problems of development, expansion, planning and equipping the delta towns concern the topography, the geography as well as the human aspect. However, our research aims to throw light on the expansion possibilities of the delta towns according to the planning guidelines (which will take into account the local economic situations) and to the delta's administrative organization

The question of ethnicity has been one of the most topical subjects of study by social scientists. The controversies around this phenomenon seem to have been heated up by the high visibility of mobilized and politicized ethnic groups in most multi-ethnic states. Therefore, the extent to which ethnic nationalities are able to effectively manage the interplay of ethnic differences determines to what extent a multi-ethnic nation develops without crisis. Historically Nigeria has come a long way from multi-ethnic entity with political differences and background to the amalgamation of 1914 till the present structure of thirty-six states. Ethnicity, no doubt has contributed immensely to ethnic conflicts in Nigeria because of long standing revulsion or resentments towards ethnic groups different from one’s own or fear of domination which can as well lead ethnic groups to resort to violence as a means to protect and preserve the existing ethnic groups. Significantly ethnicity in Nigeria, is a product inequality among the various ethnic groups orchestrated by a long period of colonialism; a period which witnessed the ascendancy of three major ethnic groups to the socio-political domination of other ethnic groups and a period when the three major ethnic groups were used as a pedestal for the distribution of socio-political goods, resulting in the inability of other ethnic groups to access these socio-political goods. This situation has continued to impact negatively on the forces of national integration and cohesion in ethnically divided Nigeria. Considering the relationship between ethnicity and development; socio-political exclusion is not only ethically dangerous to development but also economically unproductive. It deprives groups and individuals of the opportunity for the necessary development that can be beneficial to the society. Thus, it is important to develop an integrative socio-political frame-work that explicitly recognizes the participatory role of every ethnic group in governance. Hence, there is a need for the adoption of inclusive governance to manage ethnicity in Nigeria. Notwithstanding, ethnic conflict still persists and an attempt will be made in this study to identify the reasons. Central to socio-political sustainability in Nigeria is a system that should recognize that differences are important to development and encompass notions of equality. Such a system should acknowledge the socio-political and economic power of every ethnic group and promote a system devoid of ethnocentric and exclusionary socio-political and economic policies.

This study is directed toward the relationship between population growth and socioeconomic development in Nigeria for the period 1960-1984. A controlled population growth would positively affect every segment of the economic and social environment. With hunger and starvation, disease, poverty and illiteracy plaguing large portions of the world, Nigeria's limited resources would best be utilized if shared among a smaller population, Nigeria, like other developing African countries, does not have an official population control policy. The diversity in the Nigerian culture, the controversial nature of the subject of population control, and possibly, implementation difficulties, account for the absence of a population control policy in Nigeria. This study offers in its concluding section some policy recommendations on how to tackle Nigeria's population problem.

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimitedThis thesis examines how U.S.-Nigerian relations can be optimized to reduce the growing insecurity in Nigeria and reestablish Nigeria in the strategic calculus of ensuring Africa’s regional stability. It analyzes why U.S. security programs are not achieving their desired outcomes despite increased U.S. assistance. It also assesses the 2012 U.S. Strategy for Sub-Saharan Africa and U.S. security programs with respect to Nigeria’s security challenges. The thesis reveals that poor outcomes are not due to program-problem mismatch, but due to the U.S. bureaucratic bottlenecks in Washington and the incapacity of the Nigerian security agencies. The underlying causes of insecurity in Nigeria, such as low literacy rates, poverty, and weak institutions, also impinge on the program. The remedies lie in repositioning Nigeria’s security agencies and building Nigeria’s institutions to address the underlying causes of insecurity. The U.S. government also needs to prioritize its humanitarian programs to address more specific problems.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Le complexe deltaïque du Niger situé sur la marge africaine du golfe de Guinée est très étendu, de forme arquée, de type destructif et dominé par les vagues. Ce delta prograde durant tout le cenozoïque suivant une direction NE-SW sur plus de 450 km dans l'axe du fleuve actuel du Niger. Dans la partie distale du delta, cinq unités lithostratigraphiques ont été définies à partir de l'étude diagraphique. Leur âge est compris entre 16 Ma et l'actuel. Elles forment une mégaséquence deltaïque régressive, Stratocroissante et granocroissante comprenant successivement un pro-delta, un avant delta, un front de delta et une plaine deltaïque. L'existence de failles synsédimentaires (failles de croissance) et l'influence des variations eustatiques ont été mises en évidence. La subsidence résiduelle du sommet de la formation Akata cumule l'enfoncement propre du socle et la compaction des sédiments. Les accélerations de cette subsidence est provoquée par les remontées eustatiques et l'augmentation des apports sédimentaires. La subsidence résiduelle du sommet de la croûte représente 32 à 39% de l'enfoncement total. Elle montre la présence d'une croûte de type continental sous le delta avec un taux d'amincissement crustal de 1,75 a 2,1. Ces résultats pourraient s'expliquer par une phase de subsidence tectonique (rifting crétacé inférieur) suivie par une phase de subsidence thermique de la lithosphère. Le flux de chaleur au niveau du delta varie de 45 a 85 mwm##2. La valeur minimale du flux géothermique dans sa partie centrale est due à la faible conductivité thermique des argiles. Par contre le flux élevé dans sa partie NW ne peut pas être expliqué uniquement par l'amincissement crustal. Un autre phénomène intervient probablement (radioactivité, flux anormal dans le manteau). Une épaisseur minimale de la croûte de 17 km a été obtenue à partir de la modélisation gravimétrique.

This study identified the media frames that dominate Thisday newspaper's coverage of China's engagement with Nigeria and relate these frames to frame sponsors, who articulate and contest these framings. Frame analysis is applied to a sample of 40 news, feature and opinion articles between the sample period of 1 November 2011 and 31 December 2012. The study analysed media content from Thisday newspapers, drawing on the four dimensions of frames identified by Entman: define problems, diagnose causes, evaluate causal agents and their effects, and recommend treatment (Entman 1993). Using an inductive approach to frame analysis, the study identified two overarching mega frames, contested among the ruling elites who sponsor their views on China in the media, which define China's engagement with Nigeria; partner/role model and predator. The two mega frames mirror the broad characterisation prevalent in the academic literature on China in Africa. The primary partner/role model mega frame constructs China's engagement with Nigeria as a mutually beneficial economic partnership while on the other hand the predator mega frame constructs it as unequal and exploitative. The study identified the activities of frame sponsors who are articulating and promoting their views on China's engagement with Nigeria in the media as primarily responsible for these framings. The study also identified the activities of frame sponsors (ruling and economic elites) was key to the exclusion of ordinary peoples' voices, civic organisations, trade unions and human rights organisation in the text. However, the study also attributes the exclusion of ordinary voices, human rights, democracy and civic engagements in the text to the weakness of Thisday journalism in mediating the framings of China being promoted and articulated by elite frame sponsors. This is, however, symptomatic of the fault lines of journalism practice in Nigeria.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Pidgins and creoles are hybrid languages that evolve from situations of language contact (e.g. slave trade); creoles are traditionally regarded as pidgins that have acquired native speakers. Since the 1960s, the contemporary study of pidgins and creoles has grown from strength to strength, and has earned much-deserved academic recognition and respect in the field of linguistics, the subject area being now known as pidginistics and creolistics. Strangely, while some progress appears to have been made in the quest to define, classify and better understood their linguistic-structural dispositions (and possible applications), precious little study has been conducted on the anatomy of social attitudes toward such languages, in spite of the stigmatized statuses they traditionally suffer. To compound this point, equally relatively few language attitude studies have been conducted in Africa. This survey hopes to fill some of the current gap. Consequently, it was decided that a sociopsychological survey would be undertaken on Anglo-Nigerian Pidgin (ANP), a contact variety, which is said to have derived from initial contacts with Portuguese sailors in the 15th century and the diverse ethnicities along the coastline of the geopolitical area now called 'Nigeria', and probably underwent processes of relexification/adlexification with intensified contacts with the British, especially in the 18th century (Hancock, 1968). The findings on ANP appear to demonstrate that social attitudes are mainly based on pragmatic issues of formal and informal instrumentality, as would be the case with any other ('natural') language, and not on sociomoral considerations. The survey also throws up three possibly-viable hypotheses on language attitude orientations (Age of Contact Hypothesis; Source of Contact Hypothesis; and, Language Competence Hypothesis).

This chapter wittingly examines the framing of oil pollution news stories among newspapers in Nigeria. Evidence abounds in the literature showing that oil pollution in Nigeria’s Niger Delta has generated both local and international outrage and condemnation over many decades. The direct impacts cum problems resulting from oil pollution have led to economic depravations, destruction of farmlands, and livelihood of the people. This chapter explores the problems of oil pollution in the Niger Delta, the roles of newspapers in the coverage of oil pollution in Nigeria, environmental communication in Nigeria, and framing oil pollution in Nigerian newspapers.

Abstract Objective and scope This paper aims to establish that proper resource management and governance within the Nigerian oil and gas industry, more specifically, her local participation policy, which focuses on adequately addressing the social and economic concerns of the host communities in oil producing regions of Nigeria, particularly in the Niger Delta, will ultimately lead to more secure and sustainable economic development and a more attractive investment climate for Nigeria. Methods Procedure, process This research study will employ an analytical approach, more specifically qualitative analysis, in analyzing the interplay between the various factors which have birthed low oil and gas productivity in the Niger delta region of Nigeria and how proper application of Nigeria's local participation policy can influence the circumstances and yield positive result. The research study will rely heavily on available literature and legislative enactments, as well as available case law on the issues concerned. The primary sources in the collection of materials for this paper will comprise of journals, books, and articles which address the relevant research questions guiding the scope of this paper. Results, Observation, conclusion Nigeria's local content policy, just like many other governmental policies in Nigeria, has been criticized as being vulnerable to corruption as a result of the manifest lack of transparency in the Nigerian oil and gas industry, and local content has already been labelled as a potential victim of capture as a result of this dearth in transparency. It is imperative that the broad discretionary powers granted to the local content monitoring board, and the minister of petroleum by the provisions of the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development Act, be utilized in a manner devoid of parochial ethnic sentiments or political interest, in order for Nigeria to properly take advantage of the economic development benefits provided by the proper implementation of local content policy. The long term benefits of local content policy such as technology transfer, long term fiscal incentives, and the growth of local commerce and industry, will go a long way in setting Nigeria on a plain path to sustainable economic growth and better resource management. It is important that the Nigerian government play its role in driving local content policy by facilitating Nigerian enterprises to take active part in the local content programs, as well as keep tabs and monitor the effectiveness of local content policy in achieving its targets. New or additive information to the industry Proper implementation of Local Content policy in Nigeria will be beneficial, not just for the host communities but for the rest of the country, as well as for all investors in the Nigerian oil and gas industry, by providing thousands of employment opportunities for the locals, as well as providing a much needed technology transfer which will result in a structural transformation of not just the local manufacturing industries in Nigeria but the entire Nigerian oil and gas industry as well; thus addressing a major aspect of the social and economic concerns of the local people, and also giving Nigeria's economy a much needed boost towards achieving sustainable development in her natural resources sector.

Abstract The global economy has increased CCUS technology development programmes to attain its commercial deployment, which is expected to be beneficial for developing countries such as Nigeria. This paper aims to examine the barriers to CCUS implementation in Nigeria by investigating the differences between global CCUS and Nigerian status, evaluating the perspectives of industry and government practitioners on the economic barriers to CCUS implementation, and identifying policy and industry strategies to deepen the adoption of CCUS. Study participants were selected using a purposive sampling technique to explore the opinions of personnel working in three oil-related agencies: Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Ministry of Petroleum Resources and Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas. Information collected from existing literature and related reports on CCUS were critically analysed, whereas data from semi-structured interviews were generated by audio-recording of participants’ responses. These responses were transcribed from audio recordings for each participant and quality controlled by ensuring that transcripts matched the respective responses. Transcripts were analysed using thematic analysis, exploring the research theme using both theory and practice. The theoretical framework utilised PESTEL and SWOT analyses to evaluate the macro environment and the internal and external environment of CCUS implementation in Nigeria. PESTEL analysis showed that CCUS implementation in Nigeria is driven by various regulatory and policy frameworks, lack of adequate capital, public acceptance and infrastructure. Similarly, the SWOT analysis showed that Nigeria has enough coal reserves that could serve as a potential for CCUS implementation. However, Nigeria’s weaknesses include lack of expertise in CCUS technology, inadequate capital for CCUS investment and policy summersaults by successive governments. Nigeria should thus consider the introduction of subsidies to mitigate various barriers and challenges that hinder CCUS implementation, e.g., low tax rate for enterprises involved in CCUS implementation. There is also urgent need to improve funding of CCUS implementation through foreign direct investment or by the equity market. Furthermore, the importance for an enhanced technology to deepen the adoption of CCUS in Nigeria can not be overemphasized as the world moves towards decarbonisation and Net Zero.

In this present Globalized World, Science and Technology is the benchmark on which national progress and development is measured. This scientific research work clearly reveals that no Nation can be competitive in the modern world without properly harnessing and developing its Science and Technology potentials. The research work shows that Nigeria’s current ranking in the world makes Nigerian Vision (NV) 20:2020 look bleak or totally impossible hence we extend the horizon of targeted socio-economic might to match the Global Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2030 to which many countries currently align. The research emphasizes that Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) World Fact book ranked Nigerian as the 41st on the list of development economies based on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for 2007. For the same year, World Bank ranked Nigeria 40th on the Group Description of Knowledge Index. Nigeria ranked 66th among the Lagging Followers Group. On Global Competitiveness ranking, Nigeria ranked 95th. This research dwells extensively and specifically on the way forward (Science Governance) through Project Ogodometirics International (POI) WSSD +22 in Songhai-Delta, Amukpe-Sapele, Delta State, Nigeria by investing in Advanced Manufacturing Technologies (AMT) which made the Chinese to become the fourth growth zone along with the U.S, Japan and Germany. The research expresses the beliefs that though it took Britain 58 years to double its Per Capital Output, China has been doing it every 7 years in the last 2 decades by thinking and doing things differently. The research concludes that Science and Technology can diversify the Nation Economy through one strategy of Emerging Technologies Project Ogodometrics International (POI) WSSD +22 in Songhai-Delta, Amukpe-Sapele, Delta State, Nigeria. The research recommends that a Scientific/Technical Adviser under the Presidency is the only option for Nigeria using Science Governance of Project Ogodometrics International (POI) WSSD +22 in Songhai-Delta, Amukpe- Sapele, Delta State, Nigeria in order to facilitate the required synergy to realize the nexus between Science and the National economy to bring 154 International Standards Organization (ISO) Countries to Songhai-Delta, Amukpe- Sapele, Delta State, Nigeria to sign a MOU with the Nigerian Government via Final Investment Decision (FID) of Technology Transfer Agreement (TTA) of Ogodo Intellectual Property Rights (OIPR).

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Abstract Global propylene demand increases year on year, conventional sources of propylene production like steam crackers, refinery fluid catalytic cracker (FCC) are unable to meet global demand for propylene and this has necessitated the use of "On-Purpose" sources for propylene production like propane dehydrogenation (PDH). The PDH and its impact in the propylene mix of the Nigerian petrochemical industry is what this work is centered on. The need for PDH technology in Nigeria stems from the reality that, Nigeria currently has no refinery with operational fluid catalytic cracker nor sufficient steam crackers to meet an estimated propylene demand gap of about 140 KTA (2016/2017) despite propylene production from a major player in Nigeria (at present, demand gap is expected to be more). This work involves analysis of Nigeria's petrochemical import and export, petrochemical market size, exposition to the PDH trendand technology focusing on UOP Oleflex technology (chemistry and operation/process flow) and how this technology can help close the current propylene demand gap in Nigeria especially as Nigeria enters its decade of gas. Petrochemical companies in Asia have been able to use this PDH technology to manufacture propylene thereby significantly closing the propylene demand gap, constructing the most PDH plants in the last 5 years in the process. This also can be replicated in Nigeria and aid in closing propylene demand gap, and with surplus, begin to export propylene to the West African market to generate revenue, improving GDP.

Abstract The World energy council (WEC) of which Nigeria is a member share a common belief that guaranteeing a sustainable supply of affordable energy is one of the best ways to address poverty, inequality and environmental degradation everywhere on the plant. So many natural gas pipeline projects exist at different implementation stages in Nigeria and many of its projects have struggled to achieve sustainability throughout their lifecycle. Specifically, natural gas pipeline construction projects have neglected to consider economic, environmental, and social factors, resulting in inefficiencies and a continued lack of energy access in the country. This research focused on examining the relationship between project life cycle costing and the sustainability of natural gas pipeline construction projects in Nigeria. The study employed literature reviews, document analysis, and case studies, employing both descriptive and explanatory research designs. Nigerian gas pipelines used for power generation, cement production, and other purposes served as the case study. The findings revealed that initial costs significantly influenced the sustainability of natural gas pipeline construction projects. Additionally, maintenance costs and end-life costs were found to impact the sustainability of such projects in the Niger Delta region. Moreover, the research demonstrated that operational costs played a crucial role in explaining natural gas pipeline construction projects in the Niger Delta.

Abstract Nigerian oil and gas industry have over the years witnessed incessant conflicts between the stakeholders, particularly the host communities in Niger Delta region and the oil and gas companies in partnership with the Federal Government. Conflict which is here defined as manifestation of disagreement between individual and groups arising from differing and mutually incompatible interests has both positive and negative effects depending on how it was managed. Managing conflicts is all about limiting the negative aspects. The study examined conflicts management in Nigeria oil and gas industry and how best the positive elements of conflicts can be maximally exploited for the mutual benefit of both oil and gas company and the host communities in Niger Delta. The study adopted the multidisciplinary approach, literature review, case study and relied on secondary sources using analytical method of data analysis. The study findings revealed that the major factors that precipitate conflicts between the oil and gas industry and host communities in Niger Delta include economic, social, political, and ecological factors. There are available strategies that can be used in conflict management. These include avoiding, accommodating, or smoothing, competing, or forcing, compromising, and collaborating. Any of these strategies can be used to manage conflict depending on the situation, the environment factor, and the nature of the conflict. The problem is that the oil and gas companies in partnership with the Nigerian government often adopted the wrong approach in dealing with the conflict with host communities, using avoiding or forcing strategies. The study recommends collaboration strategy which ensues long term-term solution to mutual benefits.

Abstract Nigeria is the 2nd biggest natural gas producer in Africa, with much of it exported as LNG, some re-injected while a small fraction serves the domestic market. The volume supplied to the domestic market plays an outsized role in the energy mix and economy of Nigeria with over 90% supplied to thermal power plants and industrial clusters. As huge upstream gas projects continue to take Final Investment Decision, pipeline takeaway capacity grows and demand increases, the dependence on natural gas and preponderance in the energy mix will likely persist. Natural gas is the present and future of Nigeria's energy needs. The domestic gas industry is evolving but has been fraught with challenges. Oil and gas infrastructure are often disrupted and production shut-in, mostly triggered by infrastructure unavailablity, environmental concerns and prioritisation of hydro power generation during River Niger's white and black floods, all of which come at a cost to upstream producers. Gas producers are often compelled to curtail production of gas plants (associated and non-associated) to avoid environmental disasters and prohibitive gas flare penalties. Can underground gas storage (UGS) be an opportunity for gas producers to guarantee continued operations during disruptions and provide buffer for national strategic benefits? This paper seeks to explore the potential technical and economic dynamics of underground natural gas storage in Nigeria in the context of extant technical regulations, seasonal demand variations, gas flare penalties and local operating environment. The paper presents types of underground storages and recommends the most suitable, considers options for optimal location of UGS in Nigeria and undertakes an economic evaluation of a UGS project. The findings are further presented alongside the critical technical, regulatory and fiscal factors that may facilitate future investments and growth of underground gas storage in Nigeria.

Abstract Over the years, immediate action has been required to prevent climate change effects through clean energy. However, this step represents a threat of existence to third-world countries such as Nigeria, which relies heavily on royalties and tax revenues from oil and gas reserves. The Nigerian government is a signatory to the Paris Agreement, but as part of that decarbonization project and the transition to net-zero, issues of gas come up, and we talk of just and equitable transition. It is thus important to consider the various realities of developing economies. This paper discussed Nigeria's role in a fair and balanced global energy transition towards achieving net-zero by 2050, without jeopardizing the lives of millions. In this study, the prospects, and challenges of using natural gas as a driver of sustainability and energy transition to leverage the massive gas potential across the country is also presented to build an economy that can support a sustainable energy future.

Nigeria has a significant number of people in Africa without access to electricity. Achieving universal electricity access in Nigeria will have a significant impact on a large number of people’s lives. Currently, Nigeria’s main barriers to universal energy access is rural electrification and unreliable electricity from the grid. Both have significantly influenced the productivity of Nigeria’s economy, which points to the potentially significant economic growth impact that reliable and universal electricity access will have in Nigeria. Access to clean cooking is another challenge faced in Nigeria. More than 80% of households do not have access to clean energy for cooking. In addition to limited access to electricity, other socio-economic factors such as increasing poverty rate, inflation and the poor distribution network for LPG have contributed to the low access to clean energy for cooking. In order to come up with recommendations to increase electricity access in Nigeria, a feasibility study was evaluated using Ikate, Lagos State, Nigeria as the target location. This pilot project demonstrated that electrification via solar home systems and mini-grids is a good starting point for increasing energy access for rural and urban areas in Nigeria. The proposed solution is to use Off-Grid and Mini-Grid Renewable Energy to tackle the problem of access to electricity. The results showed that with a combination of a Solar PV and Generator, only the case of 100kWh/person/year would be affordable by the residents of the community, but will still require some significant capital outlay. A net metering policy that will clarify how customers who generate electricity from renewable energy can manage the excess energy they generate, thus encouraging private participation in renewable energy generation. In addition, we address pathways to improve access to clean cooking across households in Nigeria. Combined with pathways for improving access to electricity forms a basis for a roadmap to ensuring universal energy access in Nigeria.

Adopting Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the construction industry can improve construction processes, enhance competitiveness and boost the overall performance of the industry. However, the use of AI in the construction industry particularly in developing countries such as Nigeria is limited. This study examined the critical success factors for the diffusion of AI in the Nigerian construction industry. The study adopted a quantitative research design with the use of a questionnaire to elicit information from construction professionals in Lagos Island, Lagos, Nigeria. Data from the survey were analyzed with appropriate descriptive and inferential statistical tools. The study shows that institutional factors, behavioral factors, and cost factors were the most critical success factors for the diffusion of AI in Nigerian construction. Other factors included knowledge factors, infrastructure factors, technical factors, and trust factors. The study offers some insights into the critical success factors for the diffusion of AI in a developing country such as Nigeria.

Nigeria is faced with substantial economic and health burdens caused by tobacco smoking. The economic burden of smoking accounts for approximately 1.3 per cent of Nigeria's GDP. In terms of its health impact, 4.9 per cent of all deaths in 2019 were attributed to smokingrelated diseases. The thousands of Nigerians that die annually from tobacco-induced diseases are no longer able to contribute productively to the economy. Tobacco taxation is one very effective mechanism for reducing the burden of smoking. This paper measures and benchmarks the economic gains and the number of lives that could be saved through increased tobacco taxation in Nigeria. Should the government of Nigeria increase the excise tax to 240 Naira per pack (together with an ad valorem tax of 50 per cent of the CIF/ex-works price), our model predicts that, over 30 years, nearly 150,000 premature deaths could be avoided. This is in addition to the more than 150 per cent increase in government revenue that would also result. The model indicates that the larger the increase in the excise tax, the greater would be its fiscal and public health impact.

Nigeria faces immense internal security challenges, including the Boko-Haram crisis in the northeast and violent farmer-herder conflicts in the southwest and north-central states. Across the Nigerian federation, pockets of violent clashes have sprung and escalated in new locales in the last decade. Community responses to these violent crises have been diverse and included the establishment of armed groups to supplement or act in parallel to the security efforts of the Nigerian state—in some cases with backing from federal or state governments. These local security assemblages, community-based armed groups (CBAGs), are on the one hand contributors to local order, and normative conceptions of peace and security. On the other hand, these groups are often a pernicious actor within the broader security landscape, undermining intercommunal peace and drivers of violence and human rights abuses. This Policy Note focuses on the characteristics, challenges, and opportunities of Amotekun, a recently formed CBAG in Southwest Nigeria. Drawing from the experiences of similar Nigerian groups, the Note details recommendations that may facilitate greater success and lessen poten al risk associated with Amotekun’s formation. These recommendations are aimed primarily at Nigerian government and civil society actors and describe areas where external support could potentially improve local capacity to conduct oversight of Amotekun and similar groups.

The United Nations Development Programme states that women’s political participation is a necessary ingredient for a peaceful and resilient society, yet large gender gaps obstinately persist in many countries around the globe. With a focus on Nigeria and using an analysis of data from Nigeria’s 2015 and 2019 General Elections and Afrobarometer’s 2018 Nigeria Round 7 survey, this paper explores variations of women’s political participation across Southern and Northern Nigeria. In recent times, Northern Nigeria has experienced extensive conflict, and Southern Nigeria outperforms the north in terms of women’s education, participation in paid employment and control of earnings. Given these factors, conventional wisdom among policy actors and researchers would predict that women in Southern Nigeria should have considerably higher rates of political participation than those in Northern Nigeria. However, digging deeper into the available data on political participation, the paper suggests that factors such as education and employment do not predict the dimensions of women’s political participation or can predict the unexpected. The paper concludes that policymakers may need to look beyond these conventional factors when supporting programmes on women’s political participation in Nigeria. More research is needed into contextual factors to better understand what lies behind the varying levels of women’s political participation in Northern and Southern Nigeria.
