Abstract

The efficient utilization of fly-overs and express roads in Africa is pivotal for enhancing transportation networks, alleviating congestion, and driving economic development. This review paper examines the factors influencing the utilization of these infrastructures across the continent from 2010 to 2024. By synthesizing findings from various empirical studies, the paper identifies key factors such as economic conditions, urbanization, policy frameworks, and technological advancements that impact the effectiveness of fly-overs and express roads. The study reveals that suboptimal design, inadequate maintenance, economic constraints, and governance issues are major challenges faced by many African countries. These factors often lead to underutilized infrastructures, which do not fully meet the needs of the population. The paper highlights the importance of addressing these challenges through comprehensive urban planning, policy development, and technological integration. Recommendations include enhancing economic stability, strengthening governance, improving urban planning strategies, and investing in smart transportation technologies. The study provides valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders to improve infrastructure projects and contribute to sustainable economic growth in Africa. Future research should delve into case studies and the impact of emerging technologies on infrastructure efficiency to offer more nuanced perspectives. The findings contribute to the broader discourse on infrastructure management and urban planning, emphasizing the need for coordinated efforts to optimize the utilization of fly-overs and express roads.

Abstract

This study discusses the importance of investing in human capital for a nation's socio-economic development. It highlights how human resources are more critical to a country's growth than natural resources or physical capital. It is an asset that contributes to economic stability, growth, and worldwide recognition. Nigeria, with its abundant human and natural resources, has the potential for sustained economic progress. However, the country also experiences various forms of international migration, with many Nigerians migrating to other countries for education and work opportunities. The Diaspora community comprises a significant number of skilled professionals that contribute to the growth and development of their host countries. The objective of the study is to examine the nature and causes of the migration of human capital, and brain drain in Nigeria. The study adopts the push-pull theory that was propounded in 1966 by Everett Spurgeon Lee. Also, data was collected using qualitative method and 11 interviewees were interviewed while data were also collected from secondary sources. The result of the study reveals that the government's neglect of human capital investment has reduced economic growth and caused citizens to seek opportunities abroad. The study concludes by emphasizing the need for investment in human capital development through employment, training, healthcare, infrastructural development and technological advancement to eradicate brain drain and foster a more inclusive society. This study recommends the diversification of its economy, reduce corruption and invest in human capital development.

Abstract

This paper provided an in-depth analysis of the impact of digital disruption on the Nigerian Postal Industry, with a particular focus on the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST). Over the past few years, the advent of digital technology has significantly transformed the way the postal industry operates; this has disrupted traditional postal services, leading to a decline in demand for traditional postal services worldwide. Against this backdrop, this paper aimed at: determining the frequency of respondents` patronage of NIPOST`s services; examining the extent to which modern technologies have disrupted and impacted the traditional activities of NIPOST, and investigating the pace at which NIPOST has been adopting digital technologies. This study was anchored on the Diffusion of Innovations theory. The researchers employed a descriptive survey approach. The population of the study is the 1,100 Post Office box owners and operators in Ughelli, Delta State, Nigeria. A sample size of 285 was drawn from the population through the use of the Australian calculator for the determination of sample size. Questionnaire was utilised as the instrument for data collection. The findings revealed that respondents rarely patronise NIPOST`s for services. Also, findings indicated that NIPOST has been significantly affected by digital disruption, and that NIPOST has been slow in adopting digital technologies. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended, among others, that Nigerians should massively patronise NIPOSTs services so as to keep the postal industry afloat. Likewise, NIPOST should speedily leverage digital innovations to enhance its operations and services, so as to improve customer satisfaction.

Abstract

The objective of this study was to assess the influence of consumer behavior towards sustainable products and its implications for entrepreneurs with focus on developing countries. The study is survey research sampling the opinion of 100 consumers and entrepreneurs from Nigeria and Indonesia by online questionnaire to gather data on consumer attitudes and behaviors towards sustainable products, as well as entrepreneurs' experiences and challenges with sustainable business practices. The data obtained was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics, correlation and regression analysis. The findings revealed that Entrepreneurs show moderate levels of motivation to adopt sustainable practices, driven potentially by regulatory compliance, customer demands, or ethical values. Also, Consumers often express concern for sustainability but don't consistently act on it, constrained by factors like price, convenience, or skepticism. Equally, consumers are increasingly demanding sustainable products, driven by environmental concerns, social responsibility, and personal values. However, entrepreneurs face challenges in implementing sustainable business practices, including higher costs, lack of expertise, and difficulty getting the materials needed. The study therefore among others recommended that Entrepreneurs in developing countries need to integrate sustainability into their core strategies to mitigate challenges and align with market demands. Also, Policymakers and industry advisors should focus on reducing entry barriers, such as offering financial incentives or technical support for measuring and implementing sustainability. They should also develop and implement policies that support sustainable business practices, provide education and training programs for businesses, and promote sustainability awareness and education among consumers and the society in line with United Nations SDG 12 (Responsible consumption and Production).

Abstract

The Nile Basin remains one of Africa's most contested transboundary water systems, characterized by downstream hydro-hegemony rooted in colonial-era agreements (1929 and 1959) that allocated nearly all flows to Egypt and Sudan while excluding upstream rights. The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), Ethiopia's flagship hydropower project, has intensified tensions by challenging historic claims and introducing perceived zero-sum risks to downstream water security. This study examines the paradigm shift from a zero-sum hydro-political framework, focused on fixed volumetric allocations and securitized narratives, to a hydro-economic approach emphasizing system optimization, benefit-sharing, and positive-sum outcomes. Drawing on hydrological modeling, economic valuation, and institutional analysis, the research evaluates coordinated GERD–Aswan High Dam operations, water-energy swap mechanisms, drought and filling protocols, joint augmentation projects, and trilateral institutional architecture under African Union mediation. Novelty lies in reframing the GERD as a regional asset rather than a threat: upstream regulation reduces evaporation losses, attenuates floods, buffers droughts, traps sediment, and anchors clean energy exports via regional grids. Coordinated scenarios yield basin-wide gains, minimized downstream deficits, enhanced hydropower efficiency (up to 35% increase), expanded irrigation, and annual economic benefits exceeding $3 billion, transforming interdependence into mutual prosperity. Findings demonstrate that equitable cooperation outperforms unilateralism, with adaptive protocols and trust-building mechanisms (real-time data sharing, joint modeling, dispute prevention) enabling resilience amid climate variability. The Nile can serve as a model for pan-African transboundary governance, aligning with Agenda 2063 and the Silencing the Guns initiative. In conclusion, the choice is not between Ethiopian development and Egyptian security, but between perpetuating conflict and embracing shared prosperity. Recommendations include establishing a Joint Nile Commission, formalizing water-energy swaps, adopting trigger-based protocols, pursuing joint infrastructure, and leveraging AU guarantees for implementation.
