Abstract

The development of digital technology has changed the pattern of social interaction, especially among Generation Z who grew up alongside social media. With the existence of social media providing convenience in communication and self-expression, therefore new challenges arise in character building, one of which is the rise of hate speech. This study aims to identify the forms of hate speech committed by Generation Z on social media and examine the challenges of character education in dealing with it. The method used is netnography with a text analysis approach to social media posts and comments that contain hateful content. The results showed that common forms of hate speech include insults, defamation, defamation, unpleasant actions, provocation, incitement, and spreading fake news. This phenomenon shows that low digital literacy and lack of understanding of ethics in social media are serious problems. Other challenges faced in character education include exposure to inappropriate digital content, excessive dependence on technology, and the lack of supervisory role from parents and educators. Therefore, a solution that requires synergy from various parties such as teachers, families, government, and digital platforms to strengthen character education through increasing digital literacy, habituation of postal communication, and social media ethics.

Abstract

Academic libraries are essential components of tertiary institutions and Colleges of Education, serving as the backbone of teaching, learning, and research. This study examines the urgent need to equip academic libraries in some Nigerian tertiary institutions, focusing on their role in enhancing student learning outcomes, supporting academic staff, and promoting digital literacy. This study used a systematic review design to examine literature published between 2020 and 2025. Relevant peer-reviewed articles, reports, and grey literature were sourced from databases such as Google Scholar, JSTOR, ERIC, ResearchGate, and AJOL, using specific keywords. After screening for relevance and quality, eligible studies were reviewed by two independent evaluators. Results reveal persistent challenges, including inadequate funding, outdated resources, insufficient digital infrastructure, and a shortage of trained personnel. These deficiencies significantly hinder the effectiveness of academic libraries and compromise educational quality. The study further explores the implications of these challenges and highlights the necessity for government and institutional support, public-private partnerships, digital library initiatives, and continuous capacity building for library staff. It concludes that equipping academic libraries is not only a strategic investment in higher education but also a critical step toward achieving sustainable development and global competitiveness. The study recommends robust policy interventions and multi-stakeholder collaboration to reposition academic libraries as modern, resource-rich learning environments capable of meeting 21st-century academic demands.

Abstract

Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) are essential components of public health, particularly in urban areas facing rapid population growth and infrastructural challenges. Inadequate WASH services contribute significantly to the burden of disease, environmental degradation, and overall poor quality of life. The study adopted a mixed-method research design to assess integrated Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) practices in Onitsha Urban Area, Anambra State, Nigeria. Onitsha, a major commercial hub, experiences rapid urbanization and infrastructural strain. The study area’s geography, population growth, climate, geology, and economic activities were considered in evaluating WASH services. A sample of 400 residents from Federal Housing Estate was selected using Taro Yamane’s formula. Data were collected via structured questionnaires and field inspections, with instrument reliability confirmed through a pilot study. Analysis involved two-way ANOVA and Principal Component Analysis to identify key factors contributing to poor WASH conditions. Based on the findings, the demographic analysis of (400) respondents showed age distribution as follows: (17%) were 18–28, (28%) aged 29–39, (36%) aged 40–50, and (19%) above 50. Educationally, (8%) had no formal education, (20%) completed primary, (48%) had secondary, and (24%) attained tertiary education. Ethnic composition was largely Igbo at (90.15%), followed by Hausa (3%), Yoruba (1.85%), and others (5%). Household sizes showed (38%) had 1–3 children, (42%) had 4–6, (16%) had 7–9, and (4%) had more than 9. WASH practices revealed strong agreement on clean water prioritization, handwashing, and sanitation, while disagreements emerged on issues like pipe expansion and sustainable water systems. The study highlights the need for integrated policy action, community sensitization, and investment in WASH infrastructure to improve public health outcomes in Onitsha.

Abstract

Nigeria’s economy continues to face structural challenges such as low productivity, inadequate infrastructure, and limited diversification beyond oil. In this context, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has emerged as a potential driver of economic transformation, offering new opportunities for growth, innovation, and competitiveness. The study population comprised 75 people, including 25 UBA Magadisu staff and 50 ATM cardholders. Using stratified random sampling through a hat-drawn method, 20 staff and 34 customers were selected, following Ndagi’s guideline for small populations. Data was sourced from questionnaires (primary) and internet documents (secondary). The questionnaire’s validity was ensured through supervisor review and reliability tested with a pilot study of 10 GTB staff. Data collection was facilitated by the HR manager, with respondents given five days to complete the instrument. Analysis employed mean scores for Likert responses, percentages for demographics, and chi-square to test significance. The results revealed a fairly balanced gender distribution with slightly more females than males, while the majority of respondents were within the 31–50 years age range. Findings showed strong support for the importance of ICT in Nigeria’s economy, with many agreeing that it contributes to growth and development. ICT awareness was also perceived as high, though doubts remained about its usefulness across all economic sectors. Chi-square analysis confirmed ICT’s significant contribution to Nigeria’s economic development. The study concludes that ICT is a transformative driver of progress in Nigeria, but its full potential can only be realized through enhanced awareness, equitable accessibility, and integration across sectors.
