Abstract

The rapid advancement of information technology (IT) requires educational institutions to implement effective IT governance aligned with organizational business strategies and operations. This study aims to evaluate the capability level of IT governance at the Information and Communication Technology Unit (UPT TIK) of Tadulako University using the COBIT 2019 framework, with a focus on two specific processes: APO12 (Managed Risk) and APO13 (Managed Security). A mixed-methods approach was employed, including data collection through observations, interviews, and questionnaires. The Guttman scale and capability level calculations were used for analysis. The findings indicate that the current capability level for APO12 is at level 2, and APO13 is at level 1, whereas the desired target for both is level 4. This significant gap highlights the need for improvements in IT governance. Strategic recommendations based on the COBIT 2019 guidelines are proposed to help the institution achieve its target capability levels.

Abstract

This paper examines media portrayals of children in contexts of conflict and migration, interrogating the narratives, visual representations, and framing strategies employed in both global and local media. Using secondary data, the paper explores how children are often depicted as passive victims, security threats, or symbols of hope, rather than as agents with voices and rights. It investigates whose perspectives dominate the storytelling, whether those of journalists, governments, aid agencies, or the children themselves, and the implications of such representations for public perception, humanitarian response, and policy advocacy. The paper calls for more inclusive, context-sensitive, and child-centred reporting frameworks that recognize children not merely as subjects of pity or fear, but as individuals with agency, resilience, and stories worth telling on their own terms. This paper has shown that mainstream media often depict children through reductive frames, either as passive victims or as security threats, thus stripping them of agency and voice. These portrayals are frequently influenced by geopolitical interests, cultural biases, and editorial agendas that prioritize sensationalism over complexity. While some media efforts attempt to humanize children and highlight their resilience, structural limitations and editorial conventions often impede more balanced storytelling. A child-rights-based and ethical media framework is therefore essential to ensure that children's experiences are accurately and respectfully represented.

Abstract

Misinformation is a problem that is much more prevalent in the social media than the traditional media. The social media is a sphere where individuals are both producers and consumers of information and so because of this a lot of information sent out during the Covid pandemic were sometimes misleading as individuals who sent out these messages have little or no regard for journalistic ethics. The impact of the covid-19 pandemic cannot be overlooked due to the flood of information that was spread about on the social network which could be false or true. The aim of the study is to find out if audiences consider the Covid-19 information from WhatsApp and Facebook as being credible and identify the perception of the audience on forwarded messages on Covid-19. The study adopts the Source Credibility as theoretical framework. The survey research method was adopted using questionnaire as the research instrument. The sample size for this study was 400 respondents selected from the total number of the population in Ikorodu; Maya and Ijede as study areas and only a total of 383 were collated and analyzed. The study used the stratified sampling technique. The findings show that majority of the audience make use of social media a lot and that during the Covid-19 pandemic they majorly got information from their social networks most especially WhatsApp, Twitter and Facebook and findings revealed that audience considers all Covid-19 related messages on their Facebook and WhatsApp pages credible enough and are likely to forward them but in the intent to inform and not deceive. This study recommends that users of social media should properly verify information before forwarding them as this will ensure that the problem of misinformation is curbed in order to avoid individuals making agitated decisions regarding their health as regards the Covid-19 pandemic and other issues arising.

Abstract

The media in a democratic setting exists to inform, educate and entertain the general public. The media are referred to as the Fourth Estate of the nation with oversight functions on the activities of the Executive, Legislature and Judiciary. Despite the return to democratic governance in 1999, Nigeria has witnessed an increase in security challenges, from the Sharia based riots in 1999, Sagamu riots in 2000, the Jos riots in 2008, through the Chibok girls abduction by Boko Haram insurgents in 2014 to the Kaduna Shite clashes with the Army in 2015. Till date, majority of the over 200 secondary school girls abducted at Chibok still remain in captivity. The objective of this study is to examine to what extent the Nigerian media has played the role of agenda setting through media reports that adhere to objectivity, truth and balance. This study adopted the content analysis method of media reports on security challenges and discovered that, such issues as media ownership, poor remuneration of media practitioners, corruption, religion and ethnicity tend to colour media reports which negatively impacts on the quality of and adherence to ethics of media coverage. This results in  the discerning public treating such reports with little or no trust. This report recommends the improvement in the remuneration of media practitioners, effective implementation of freedom of information act, regular media summits on coverage of conflicts, co-operation of the security agencies with the media and a strict adherence to ethics of media as definitive steps that need to be urgently implemented in restoring the lost trust in media coverage of conflicts in Nigeria. In addition, media bodies such as the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) and the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) must lead the fight in ensuring ethical journalism thrives and ownership does not become an albatross to the industry.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to evaluate the impact of Pictionary activities as a pedagogical tool for vocabulary acquisition among middle school learners. The investigative approach employed a quasi-experimental framework involving fifty-eight motivated seventh-grade pupils from MTs Al-Muttaqin Rengging, who were systematically allocated into treatment and comparison cohorts. Information gathering was conducted using initial and final assessments consisting of multiple-choice vocabulary items to monitor learners' academic development precisely. The treatment cohort experienced instruction via dynamic and entertaining Pictionary activities, whereas the comparison cohort followed traditional pedagogical approaches throughout six instructional sessions. The results showed a significant difference between the groups (p = 0.000 < 0.05), with the experimental group's average score (88.50) considerably higher than that of the control group (70.73). Both groups experienced significant improvement, but the experimental group showed greater overall improvement. The conclusion of the study clearly proves that the Pictionary game is significantly more effective than conventional methods in improving students' vocabulary mastery.

Abstract

The 2023 general elections in Nigeria marked a watershed moment in the country’s democratic trajectory, particularly with the adoption of technology-driven electoral management systems such as the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) and the INEC Result Viewing Portal (IReV). While these innovations were introduced to enhance transparency, reduce electoral fraud, and strengthen public trust, their deployment exposed significant challenges that highlighted the shadow side of technology in electoral processes. This study interrogates the effects of technological tools on the credibility, efficiency, and legitimacy of the 2023 elections, drawing on media reports, official election data, and scholarly analyses. The study made use of secondary sources of Data collection. Secondary data were sourced from academic journals, INEC reports, election observer reports, news, articles, and policy papers. Databases such as ResearchGate, Google Scholar, and reputable news outlets were utilized. Findings reveal a paradox: although technology improved aspects of voter accreditation and broadened access to election results, systemic failures, infrastructural limitations, cyber vulnerabilities, and perceived manipulation undermined confidence in the process. The paper argues that the reliance on technology without adequate infrastructural support, legal clarity, and institutional integrity risks deepening public distrust rather than consolidating democratic gains. The study concludes that the 2023 Nigerian general election represents a pivotal case study in the intersection of technology and democracy in a developing nation. The introduction of advanced electoral technologies, such as the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) and the INEC Result Viewing Portal (IReV), was a bold step toward mdernzing Nigeria’s electoral process.
