Abstract

The advent of information and communication technology (ICT) and the internet in Nigeria offer endless opportunities and also raise a lot of concerns bothering on cybercrime, cyberterrorism, information and human security. Recently, Nigeria has experienced an unprecedented surge in cybercrime, with potentially disastrous consequences for the country's socioeconomic and sustainable growth. Consequently, the complexities and horrific nature of cyberterrorism in recent times have increased proportionately which calls for prompt action. This study therefore, examines the effects of cyberterrorism on information and human security in Nigeria. Anchored on the technology-enabled crime and risk society theory and integrative literature review approach, the study revealed that, aside from the fact that information security is important for the continued existence of individuals, organisations and government in Nigeria, different terrorist and secessionist groups in Nigeria such as Boko Haram have been using the Nigeria’s cyberspace to mobilize and train its members, raise funds as well as propagate their nefarious agenda. The study however recommends among many things that, the Nigerian government should strengthen the Cybercrime Prohibition and Prevention Act 2015 while also ensuring the establishment of strong legal, institutional and security frameworks in line with the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2341 (2017) and the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy (GCTS) in order to fight cyberterrorism in Nigeria.

Abstract

This research investigated the awareness, knowledge, and attitude to information concerning tyre safety use among commercial drivers in Taraba State, Nigeria. The study employed a mixed research method and focused on commercial drivers who are members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in Taraba State. Data were gathered by administering a questionnaire to 360 respondents and three Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with six members in each group. Descriptive statistics and thematic analysis were used for data analysis. The results show a high level of awareness regarding tyre inflation pressure (72.5%) and tyre tread information (71.4%) among the respondents. However, awareness levels are lower for regular tyre service, ageing information, and load and speed information. The primary sources of tyre safety information for the respondents are vulcanizers (33.6%), peers (21.6%), and tyre sellers (20%). However, knowledge about most aspects of tyre safety information is generally low, except for tyre tread and inflation pressure. Furthermore, the study revealed a negative attitude towards most aspects of tyre safety information, except for tyre tread and inflation pressure. The study recommended that the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) enhance tyre safety awareness campaigns and monitoring in Taraba State using multi-channels of communication and targeting vulcanizers, tyre sellers, and opinion leaders such as NURTW officials and religious institutions.

Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of cooperative learning strategy on secondary school students' academic achievement in physics. Guided by two research questions and three hypotheses, the study employed a quasi-experimental design and was conducted with a sample of 60 Senior Secondary School year two (SS2) physics students from Government Senior Secondary School Girei, Adamawa State. The Physics Achievement Test (PAT) was used to collect data, which were then analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed a significant mean score difference of 13.78333 (p < 0.001) favoring the cooperative learning group over the conventional group. Gender differences were significant in the conventional group (t-statistic = -20.696, p < 0.001), with males scoring higher, but not in the cooperative group (t-statistic = -35.658, p = 0.425). Thus, cooperative learning appears to reduce the gender gap in physics achievement. It is recommended that workshops be held to train teachers on effective cooperative learning strategies.

Abstract

This study examined audience perceptions of radio coverage of Lassa fever in Adamawa and Taraba States, focusing on Adamawa Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) radio and Taraba State Broadcasting Services (TSBS) radio. The study was anchored in the Agenda-Setting Theory and employed a descriptive survey approach. A valid sample of 327 respondents was used to collect quantitative data via a questionnaire, which were analyzed using descriptive statistical tools. The findings revealed that, despite the widespread availability of radio stations, listeners in Yola and Jalingo had limited exposure to programs addressing Lassa fever. The study further found that the audience generally perceived radio messages on Lassa fever as informative; however, there was a preval_ent reluctance among radio listeners to adopt the recommended preventive measures against Lassa fever as advocated in the radio programs. The study also identified various challenges encountered by the audience, including disinterest in campaign messages, language barriers, technical complexity of the content, inappropriate timing of broadcasts, and socioeconomic constraints. Based on these findings, the study recommends that radio stations dedicate more programs and time to creating awareness about Lassa fever, make content more engaging and interactive, address language barriers, optimize the timing of broadcasts, consider socioeconomic constraints, and leverage multi-channel communication approaches.
