Abstract

It is the saying that it is better to pay a good cook than to pay a doctor and also it is essential to eat one meal like a medicine. This quote necessitates the fact that consuming well-processed food is essential for healthy living. However, it has been observed that garri which is considered a staple food in Nigeria, produced from cassava, is often poorly processed (half-baked) in some parts of Nigeria, not concerned with the medical dangers and implications. It is concerning that this study tends to adopt a hybrid method of study in examining consumer awareness concerning the health and legal implications of consuming poorly processed garri. In this regard, 247 questionnaires were distributed to respondents residing within Edo North, Edo State. The data obtained was analyse using a descriptive and analytical method of approach. The study found that most of the garri processes within the region are half-bake, which often contain some cyanide content. The study also found that the majority of consumers are unaware of the health implications of consuming half-baked garri containing cyanide, poorly processed and preserved. Concerning this, the study therefore concludes and recommends that to curb the incidence of poorly processed garri, there is a need spring legal framework to ensure effective enforcement and compliance against poorly processed food. Furthermore, there is also a need for sensitization on the dangers of consuming half-baked garri.

Abstract

The Uganda government has taken legal and institutional measures (such as the Uganda constitution, National Environmental Act and the Climate Change Act) to ensure clean and healthy environment and resolving major environmental issues. However, the rate of street trading within the terrain of Uganda, has resulted in the illegal dumping of refuse. It suffices to state that illegal dumping of refuse could generate major environmental issues such as flood, soil pollution, water pollution, air pollution, and destruction of habitat. This study embarks on a hybrid method of study in examining the need to combat the threat of street trading associated with the illegal dumping of waste. 290 questionnaires were sent to respondents residing in the various regions of Uganda. The data obtained through the questionnaire was analyzed using a descriptive and analytical method of research. The study therefore found that, there are unchecked incidents of street trading which often result in illegal dumping of refuse. Furthermore, the continuous dumping of refuse as a result of street trading could result in severe environmental pollution. The study therefore concludes and recommends that for a sustainable environment free from any form of pollution, there is a need for the Uganda government to through institutional measures reinforce the laws against illegal dumping of refuse resulting from street trading.

Abstract

Digital technology has reshaped various sectors of the world so that tasks are executed seamlessly within the shortest period through digital technology. It suffices to state that Uganda has also incorporated the same in enhancing virtually all sectors. For example, in recent times, buying, selling goods, and negotiating contracts are done majorly through digital technology. However, despite the prospect of e-commerce, some challenges may limit its viability in Uganda. In this regard, the study examines the legal and socio-economic issues concerning the adoption of digital commerce in Uganda. A hybrid method was used, and 304 questionnaires were distributed (through Google form) to respondents residing in Uganda. The data obtained were analysed using a descriptive and analytical approach. The study found that adopting e-commerce has greatly enhanced the commercial sector. However, despite the advantages of e-commerce, there are challenges, which include Data security and privacy, regulatory compliance, consumer protection from internet fraudsters and unfair trade practices, illiteracy of consumers, and poor and high cost of internet access. The study, therefore, concludes and recommends that e-commerce is a good innovation that could enhance and lead to further economic development in Uganda. In this regard, for smooth e-commerce operations in Uganda, there is a need for effective mechanisms in ensuring legal compliance and prosecution of anyone involved in data privacy breaches and internet fraudster. Furthermore, active and cost reduction of internet access could aid in enhancing the operation of e-commerce in Uganda. This research builds upon existing knowledge by discovering the legal and social-economic factors prohibiting the adoption of e-commerce in Uganda followed by specific recommendations and ensuring internet accessibility improvement in improving the country's digital economy.

Abstract

It is apt to state that there are numerous rights and obligations guardians or parents owe to their children or children in their custody. Although several laws seem to secure the right of children against child labour in Nigeria, however, it has been observed that there has been a recurrent increase in child labour, which is becoming a major challenge truncating the features of most children. In this regard, this study adopts a hybrid method of research in ascertaining if the Nigerian government takes custody of a child experiencing child labour could aid in curtailing the major challenge of child labour. In this regard, the study employs an online questionnaire sent to 307 respondents who reside in Nigeria. The study, therefore, found that, though several international and local laws tend to discourage child labour in Nigeria, there is still an increase in child labour. The study further found that several factors are often the root causes of child labour, and third-party custody of children suffering from child labour is a better solution. The study, therefore, concluded and recommended that to curb the major challenge of child labour, the Nigerian government needs to take a proactive step in assuming custody of children experiencing child labour. Hence, this study contributes to knowledge by determining if third-party custody is a possible consideration by the Nigerian government in legal-social intervention regarding diminished child labour and enforcing gaps left in existing child protection structures.

Abstract

The concept of human rights has gained global recognition over time, and the international community and virtually all countries consider everyone equal and deserving of equal treatment. However, advancing gender balance in rights is a critical challenge in Nigeria, where constitutional and legal frameworks come short of equity. Hence, the study focuses on Nigeria's slow progress in addressing systemic gender imbalances that are further complicated by cultural and institutional barriers to women's full participation in the economic, political, and social arenas. The research will analyze how constitutional and legal reforms can advance gender balance rights in Nigeria by learning from Uganda, a country that is attributed with remarkable achievements in gender inclusivity. This study employed a doctrinal method utilising a comparative approach that analyzed primary legal documents, policies, and secondary sources between the two countries for the best practices and challenges. Findings reveal that Uganda's deliberate constitutional recognition of gender equity, affirmative action policies, and strong institutional frameworks have reduced gender disparity significantly. On the other hand, it is Nigeria's fragmented and under-enforced gender-related laws, and the non-express constitutional provision of gender equal participation contribute to continued inequalities. The study recommends extensive constitutional amendments, the establishment of gender-monitoring institutions, and raising awareness amongst the public in Nigeria to duplicate Uganda's successes in making gender balance a core national development agenda.

Concerning this, the Nigeria and the Uganda governments had sought to enhance and facilitate tuition fees of tertiary education of peasant citizens, by enacting the Student Loan Act, Unlike the Uganda Education Loan Act, there seems to be a gridlock in accessing education loans in Nigeria. Purpose/Study Objectives: In this regard, this study examines the issues concerning the Nigeria and Uganda tertiary education loan act, with a view of taking a leap from the Uganda student loan act in improving on the Nigeria student loan act. Design/Methodology/Approach: In this regard, the study adopts a hybrid study method, 406 questionnaires were sent to respondents residing in Nigeria and Uganda. The results obtained were analyzed using a descriptive and analytical method. Findings: The study identified significant flaws in the Nigeria Loan Act that risk undermining its intended purpose, whereas the Uganda Tertiary Education Loan Act offers a more effective framework, granting students better access to loans and scholarships. Consequently, the study concludes that Nigeria should adopt key aspects of Uganda’s model, particularly its student-friendly provisions, to improve access to educational financing. It therefore recommends that Nigerian policymakers reform the existing loan system by integrating successful elements from Uganda’s approach, ensuring greater equity and efficiency in supporting students’ academic pursuits.

Abstract

The Metaverse offered a novel and immersive platform where Nigerian users engaged with virtual environments that mirrored the physical world or even transcended its confines, similar to Singapore's adoption in its economy. This digital realm provided a unique opportunity for individuals and organizations to simulate and visualize the environmental consequences of human activities, thereby deepening awareness of ecological issues. Virtual reality simulations and immersive educational experiences empowered users to witness the ramifications of environmental degradation, motivating them to adopt eco-friendly practices in their daily lives. However, the realization of the Metaverse's potential for promoting environmental awareness and sustainable practices faced various legal challenges. This research employed a hybrid research approach, combining both doctrinal and non-doctrinal methods, to assess the prospects and legal issues surrounding the use of the Metaverse as a catalyst for environmental awareness and sustainability. A total of 304 questionnaires were distributed to Nigerian respondents, and data were analyzed using descriptive and analytical methods. The findings revealed that the burgeoning Metaverse had the potential to play a pivotal role in advancing environmental awareness and sustainable practices, contributing to the mitigation of climate change. Nonetheless, several challenges, such as data privacy, security issues, regulatory concerns related to the Metaverse, digital illiteracy, and insufficient funding for incorporating Metaverse technology, might hinder its effective utilization for promoting environmental awareness and sustainability. It was concluded that the Metaverse possessed transformative power to enhance environmental awareness and sustainable practices in Nigeria. Furthermore, drawing insights from Singapore's experiences in the Metaverse highlighted potential lessons and inspiration for Nigeria as it embarked on this journey of environmental awareness and sustainability through immersive digital experiences.

Abstract

The Nigeria Higher Institution Loan Act of 2023 serves as a pivotal framework for addressing financial accessibility to higher education. The Act's objectives center on providing interest-free loans to students for tuition fees and ensuring access to education for all Nigerians. However, despite the relevance of the Nigeria Higher Institution Loan Act of 2023 in addressing educational financial challenges, there seem to be legal and socioeconomic challenges generated by the said law. It is in this regard that this study adopts a hybrid method of study in examining the legal and socioeconomic issues inherent in the Nigeria Higher Institution Loan Act of 2023. Concerning this, 303 questionnaire were sent to respondents residing in Nigeria. A descriptive and analytical method was adopted in analyzing the result. The study found that the Act focused on ensuring loans reach those with genuine financial needs, but inadvertently excluded certain groups, raising questions of fairness. The requirement of guarantors, each meeting specific qualifications, adds another legal dimension to the Act and raises socioeconomic issues surrounding the accessibility of suitable guarantors. Furthermore, the Act underscores the importance of responsible loan management but also highlights the potential harshness of penalties, especially for economically disadvantaged borrowers. It was therefore concluded and recommended that the Higher Institution Loan Act of Nigeria brings together legal and socioeconomic elements, striving to provide financial accessibility to higher education while maintaining accountability. Evaluating and addressing these complex legal and socioeconomic issues is vital to ensure the Act fulfills its intended purpose of promoting equitable access to education for all Nigerians.
