Abstract

The reliability of aptitude tests is critical for ensuring fair and valid selection of candidates for higher education. This study investigated the reliability of the Abstract Aptitude Sub-Scale of a developed and validated aptitude test for UTME selection in Nigeria. Specifically, the study examined both internal consistency and test–retest reliability of the sub-scale. The research adopted a descriptive survey design and involved a sample of 200 senior secondary school students drawn from public and private schools in Delta State using purposive sampling. Data were collected through the 25-item Abstract Aptitude Sub-Scale and analyzed using Kuder-Richardson Formula 20 (KR-20), Cronbach’s alpha, item-total correlations, and Pearson correlation coefficient for test–retest reliability. Findings revealed that the sub-scale demonstrated high internal consistency, with KR-20 = 0.87 and Cronbach’s alpha = 0.88. Item-total correlations ranged from 0.35 to 0.58, indicating that all items contributed positively to the measurement of abstract reasoning. Additionally, the test–retest reliability was found to be excellent, with Pearson’s r = 0.89 and a low standard error of measurement (SEM = 1.1), demonstrating temporal stability over a two-week interval. These results confirm that the Abstract Aptitude Sub-Scale is a psychometrically sound instrument, capable of consistently and accurately assessing abstract reasoning ability among UTME candidates. The study concludes that the sub-scale is suitable for high-stakes educational assessment and recommends its adoption for national selection purposes, with periodic review to maintain its reliability. Further research is suggested to examine the predictive validity of the sub-scale in relation to academic performance in tertiary institutions.

Abstract

Female circumcision is a very controversial subject on the African continent and, apparently, across the globe. Whether you are in Kinshasa or Obudu, Nigeria, there seems to be a spectrum of traditional belief systems that justify female circumcision as a panacea to feminine promiscuity, which still suffers the taboo element despite 21st-century development. In this paper, research shows that female circumcision is still rampant. However, the legal framework set up by the international community has a huge role to play in curbing the pandemic. Nevertheless, is the legal framework robust enough to end the threat to womanhood caused by mutilation of the female principal reproductive organ? We opine that more needs to be done, and we utilize real-life experiences from two African communities (the Odo Community of Bayelsa State and the Kassena Nankana region of Northern Ghana) to cement the findings made herein. Our recommendations are straightforward: entrench the legal framework in local communities through the knowledge economy while seriously prosecuting perpetrators of female circumcision, then seal off the opportunities for continuation of these practices by using local chiefs and rulers to enforce compliance. If FGM must end, then myths must be countered with proper sensitization and lies of promiscuity must be countered with evidence to the contrary.

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive philosophical examination of how epistemic injustice becomes embedded within the institutional architecture of social scientific research, using Nigeria as a paradigmatic case study. Moving beyond Miranda Fricker's foundational framework, we argue that epistemic injustice in postcolonial research contexts operates not merely as interpersonal ethical failure but as systematically reproduced structural violence enabled by what we term “epistemic extraction regimes.” Through detailed analysis of Nigeria's research ecosystem, encompassing ethics review boards, funding mechanisms, methodological protocols, and knowledge dissemination practices, we demonstrate how testimonial and hermeneutical injustices become normalized through institutional procedures that privilege Northern epistemological frameworks while marginalizing indigenous knowledge systems. The paper develops the original concepts of “hermeneutical foreclosure” and “testimonial instrumentalization” to describe how institutional practices actively preclude alternative ways of knowing. Drawing extensively from Nigerian philosophical traditions, including Yoruba epistemology, Igbo metaphysical systems, and contemporary African philosophical discourse, We propose a radical reimagining of social research grounded in what we call “epistemic consociation”, a framework for knowledge production that honors epistemological pluralism while maintaining rigorous scholarly standards. The argument contributes to both social epistemology and philosophy of social science by demonstrating how institutional structures actively constitute, rather than merely mediate, epistemic relations in postcolonial research contexts.

Abstract

The Niger Delta region of Nigeria, long synonymous with petroleum extraction and environmental degradation, possesses vast untapped potential for eco-tourism, centered on its unique mangrove ecosystems, rich biodiversity, and cultural heritage. This paper argues that a strategically developed, community-based eco-tourism model can serve as a catalyst for sustainable development, providing an alternative livelihood to mitigate poverty and reduce dependence on extractive industries. Through a mixed-methods approach incorporating stakeholder interviews, geographic surveys, and case study analysis, the research assesses the current state of eco-tourism initiatives in the region, identifies key ecological and cultural assets, and examines the major barriers to development including infrastructure deficits, security concerns, and lack of local capacity. The study concludes by proposing a integrative framework for eco-tourism development that prioritizes community ownership, ecological preservation, and pro-poor economic benefits, thereby contributing to the broader goals of environmental restoration and social stability in the Niger Delta

Abstract

This study investigated FADAMA III programme and food security in Akwa Ibom and Cross River States. The population of the study consists of the entire staff and household beneficiaries of FADAMA III programme in Akwa Ibom and Cross River States numbering 8,040. This study applied both stratified and quota sampling techniques. 400 respondents drawn from the staff and household beneficiaries of FADAMA III programme was used as the sample size. 67 respondents were selected from the six senatorial districts in Akwa Ibom and Cross River States. The instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire. The data collected were analysed using chi-square statistical analysis to test the null hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance; and the result of the analysis revealed that: FADAMA III programme has a significant effect on food availability, food affordability, food accessibility and food acceptability in Cross River and Akwa Ibom States, Nigeria. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended, among others, that the government of Akwa Ibom and Cross River States should expand the scope of the FADAMA III Agriculture Development Programme beyond cultivation, rearing and production of agricultural produce and also include agro-business to boost the income of farmers and beneficiaries.

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive assessment of ‘Operation Yaki,’ a joint border patrol initiative between Nigeria and Niger, established to combat transborder crime and insecurity in the volatile Sahel region. Set against a backdrop of chronic insecurity characterized by terrorism, arms smuggling, human trafficking, and banditry, the operation represents a critical case study in bilateral security cooperation in Africa. The research investigates the operational efficacy of the joint patrols in suppressing cross-border criminal activities and, with equal emphasis, analyzes their multifaceted impact on community-state relations and inter-communal dynamics along the borderlands. Employing a qualitative methodology that synthesizes policy analysis, security reports, and secondary ethnographic accounts, the paper argues that while Operation Yaki has achieved measurable tactical successes in disrupting criminal logistics and enhancing real-time intelligence sharing, its overall strategic impact is significantly mediated by deep-seated socio-political and structural factors. These include the historical legacy of the colonial border, complex ethnic and kinship ties that transcend state boundaries, local community perceptions of state security forces, and the persistent socio-economic drivers of crime. Findings suggest that the operation, though a necessary and innovative response, often functions within a paradigm of securitization that can inadvertently marginalize border communities, potentially fueling resentment and undermining long-term security. The paper concludes that the efficacy of joint border patrols cannot be judged solely on crime statistics but must be evaluated within a holistic framework that considers community engagement, human security, and developmental interventions. It recommends a recalibration of Operation Yaki towards a more integrated, community-sensitive model of border governance that leverages trust, addresses root causes of instability, and aligns with broader regional security architectures like the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) and the G5 Sahel.

Abstract

This paper undertakes a Christian critique of woman-to-woman marriage, a cultural institution allowing women to assume the social role of husband to other women for purposes of lineage preservation among the Udenu people of Enugu State, Nigeria. The work examines the general concept of woman-to-woman marriage, investigates its specific manifestation among the Udenu people, identifies the socio-cultural factors that inform the practice, and evaluates the moral questions it raises from a Christian perspective. Using phenomenological and evaluative research methods, the study draws on primary data gathered through oral interviews with traditional rulers, community leaders, and elders, supplemented by published academic sources. The findings contribute to debates about the relationship between African traditional practices and Christian moral frameworks, offering insights into how indigenous institutions navigate tensions between cultural rationality and religious doctrine. The study proposes solutions grounded in Christian theology while acknowledging the legitimate cultural concerns that gave rise to the practice. This work provides valuable knowledge for understanding woman-to-woman marriage at both traditional and theological levels and serves as a resource for addressing the complexities of cultural practice and religious belief in contemporary African societies.

Abstract

As climate change intensifies, governments worldwide are adopting “managed retreat” policies’ the strategic relocation of communities away from areas rendered uninhabitable by sea-level rise, flooding, and other climate impacts. While often framed as a pragmatic and protective adaptation strategy, these policies create profound ethical dilemmas that existing legal and policy frameworks are ill-equipped to address. The binary distinction between “voluntary” and “forced” migration obscures a complex grey zone of structural pressure where state action can render continued habitation impossible without issuing an explicit eviction order. This paper develops a theoretical framework for evaluating the ethical legitimacy of state-led climate relocation programs. Drawing on liberal political philosophy (Isaiah Berlin's concepts of negative and positive liberty; Philip Pettit's theory of non-domination), the Capabilities Approach (Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum), and social science literature on place attachment, the paper constructs a typology of pressures faced by climate-vulnerable communities. It distinguishes between: (1) Environmental Push (biophysical forces making life untenable), (2) Structural Constraint (the withdrawal of state services and infrastructure to incentivize departure), and (3) Direct Coercion (forced eviction under the guise of safety). The paper argues that the ethical legitimacy of managed retreat hinges on the preservation of what it terms the “Capability to Stay” ‘ the substantive freedom to remain in one's chosen place while maintaining access to basic rights and dignified living conditions. Using illustrative examples from coastal West Africa (Nigeria, Ghana), the United States Gulf Coast (Louisiana, Texas), and the Pacific Islands (Fiji, Vanuatu), the paper demonstrates how current policies often blur the line between protection and dispossession. It concludes by proposing an enhanced ethical framework for policymakers: “FPIC-Plus” (Free, Prior, and Informed Consent with a binding Capability Impact Assessment), adapted from Indigenous rights law, to govern climate relocation and ensure that the right to stay is not extinguished by the duty to go.

Abstract

Salt deposit is one of the mineral deposits that are found in different parts of Igboland before the colonial administration. Its contributions to the economic development of the people are drawn from its extraction, processing and distribution. The study was anchored on Linkage Theory developed by Albert Hirschman. This theory suggests that a leading sector, such as the salt industry can drive economic growth and development through its linkage with other sectors. Data were generated from primary and secondary sources. They were analysed qualitatively, using content analysis to identify that the industry was an important source of revenue and employment to numerous residents of the communities that are presently captured as Ebonyi State, including areas that are not limited to communities of Afikpo, Edda, Ezza, Okposi, and Uburu. Acknowledging its impact on the economy of the state, its negative effects, such as environmental and health risks, and challenges were investigated. It is discovered that the management practices, involving use of local skills, manual mining approach, and active involvement of aged women are inadequate and could not sustain a long-term extraction, processing, and distribution of the wealth for sustainable profit maximization. So, the enterprise requires a thoughtful and problem-solving policy that could create a conducive environment for achieving profit-oriented salt mining. Implementation of such a scheme would involve active participation of entrepreneurs (vibrant males and females) with decisive support from the government in areas of policy-making and subsidizing the cost of mechanising the industry.

Abstract

Leadership development has emerged as a critical organizational strategy for enhancing performance, fostering innovation, and ensuring long-term sustainability in an increasingly complex global business environment. Among the most prominent approaches to developing leadership capabilities are coaching and mentoring, which facilitate learning, reflection, and behavioral change. This paper critically examines the roles of coaching and mentorship in leadership development through a comprehensive review of theoretical and empirical literature. The study explores the conceptual foundations, mechanisms, and outcomes associated with these developmental interventions while highlighting the consequences of inadequate leadership development in organizations. Key findings suggest that coaching and mentoring, though distinct in their approaches, offer complementary benefits: coaching enhances performance through goal-oriented feedback and self-reflection, while mentoring provides career guidance, psychosocial support, and long-term developmental relationships. The paper discusses the theoretical underpinnings, including experiential learning theory, self-determination theory, and social learning theory, which explain the effectiveness of these interventions. Additionally, the study examines challenges in implementation, practical implications for organizations, and recommendations for integrating coaching and mentoring into comprehensive leadership development frameworks. The paper concludes by emphasizing that organizations seeking sustainable competitive advantage must institutionalize coaching and mentoring as strategic leadership development interventions.
