Wijewardhana BVN, Rajaneththige S – December 2019 Page No.: 01-08
Within the causes of family relationships both males and females maintain specific tasks and positions based on the gender perspectives since the historic epoch in Sri Lanka. According to sociologists, the tasks are merely divided on gender based decisions. Child births, socialization, fulfill husbands’’ needs, and manage the economy with series of other vigorous activities of the family unit to be fulfilled by the married woman. In this context family disputes were unavoidable when challenges occurred due to ineffective control of family matters. Owing to changes occurred in the society transformation of the role and tasks of women too, were happened resulting that women represent comparatively to the men in the current labour market. The continuation of uninterrupted family system within the said composition is still a task coming under the purview of women. Married women are accustomed to perform the tasks within the family units while accomplishing the status of male-female gender aspirations.
Women who are enduring penalties being imprisoners in contradictory to their bestowed tasks and status based on the gender related matters at domestic level, this study attempts to emphasize the causes affected them to be guilty on some offenses and also to analyze whether influences were there or not from their husbands, if so, in what nature and which form of influences was the problem to be determined through this research. Accordingly, 63 married women prisoners were selected from different age categories and from mixed religious backgrounds. The research was launched through discussions, using questionnaire, observations, and case studies and via focused group discussions, too. The investigations revealed that 79.66% of informants were in the opinion that main cause behind their offensiveness was the muddles involved by their husbands. It was also disclosed that husbands’ direct involvement on drug related actions, abusing women, murder, theft and burglary were candidly affected them to face the current situation. The research findings endorsed the need of mandatory as well as socially adapted amendments targeted on the family system which could endorse an intelligible community that ensures healthy relationship between husband and wife and within the family units.

Exploring the Application, Dimensionality and Factor Structure of Organizational Citizenship Behavior Scale among Local Government Employees in Lagos, Nigeria
Ikenna Jennifer Amaka, Siti Noormi Alias and Mohd Ashraff Mohd Anuar – December 2019 Page No.: 28-35
Previous studies have observed a paradigm shift in the debate concerning the dimensionality of organizational citizenship behavior. Building on organizational citizenship behavior literature, the present study in intends to validate the dimensionality of the organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) scale developed by Smith et al., (1983) who proposed a 2 dimensional16-item instrument. Data was collected through a survey questionnaire using systematic random sampling technique to employees of local government in Lagos State, Nigeria. A total of 400 questionnaires were administered and 393 valid responses were obtained over a period of 4-weeks. Factor analysis and reliability analysis were conducted to confirm that the instrument is valid within the context of local government employees. The implication of this current study is that OCB scale developed by smith et al., (1983) has revealed two-dimensional structures comprising of; altruism and generalized compliance. The instrument was found to be valid and reliable scale for OCB measurement among employees of public organization, particularly Local Government employees in Lagos, Nigeria.

Hope and Positive Development in the Third Decade of Life. A Theoretical Perspective on Tertiary Education Students in Cameroon
Akom Delbert Afumbom- December 2019 Page No.: 36-41
University is relatively considered a stressful moment in the life of students due to numerous academic workloads and academic activities. The situation is further aggravated by the fact that some university students are in emerging adulthood, a developmental period which is psychologically fraught with uncertainty, instability and identity issues among others. Added to these, the context of most universities like Cameroon which is marred with political, economic and social turbulence common to other developing societies in the sub Saharan region makes life unbearable. Looking at the challenges that confront tertiary education students in the third decade of life, increases possibilities of fears that they will founder thus narrowing the route to a blossomed transition into adulthood and through the university from home into the world of work. However, observations reveal that some have remained hopeful as they continuously believe in themselves and their worth. As such, they have resiliently shrugged off the vast burden placed on them by the adult society as they struggle intentionally with continuous efforts to succeed. Being hopeful and self-efficacy beliefs are observed to be some of the effective drivers that pull emerging adults through the storms of university transition thus facilitating positive development into subsequent life stages. Unfortunately just a paucity of literature albeit theoretically actually narrates via scholarly corridors the monumental successes recorded by students as they sail flourishingly through university in the midst of storms an in the third decade of life. This paper examines and addresses the foregoing through the lenses of some theories.

Results and Discussion: Distribution of total digital patterns in Bini showed that on the left hand they had the following: Ridge Ending 4399(17.1%), Ridge Crossing 2335 (9.0%), Bridge 1979(7.7%), Lake 2077(8.1%), Bifurcation 5283(20.5%), Double Bifurcation 2021 (7.8%), Dot 2015 (7.8%), Trifurcation 1938 (7.5%), Opposed Bifurcation 2029 (7.9%), Island 1723 (6.6%), while on the right hand the distributions were: Ridge Ending 4415 (17.2%), Ridge Crossing 2323 (9.0%), Bridge 1999(7.7%), Lake 2065(8.0%), Bifurcation 5303(20.6%), Double Bifurcation 2005 (7.7%), Dot 2025 (7.8%), Trifurcation 1915 (7.4%), Opposed Bifurcation 2044 (7.9%), Island 1709 (6.7%).
Conclusion: The descriptive cross-sectional study of minutiae pattern has revealed the following trend of patterns: Bifurcation 5283 (20.5%) > Ridge ending 4399(17.1%) > Ridge crossing 2335 (9.0%) on the left whereas on the right hand thus: Bifurcation 5303(20.6%) > Ridge ending 4415 (17.2%) > Ridge crossing 2323 (9.0%). This trend is in line with the stated trends for Africa, this study provides a baseline data on level 2 patterns or minutiae for the Bini people of Southern Nigeria.

Implementation of Vision 20:2020 Agricultural Policy and Food Production in Nigeria, 2007-2015
Ofozoba Chinonso Anthony – December 2019 Page No.: 42-64
The study set out to examine the implementation of the vision 20:2020 agricultural policy by the Federal Government and its effect on food production in Nigeria between 2007 and 2015. The qualitative method of data collection and analysis and the Marxian instrumentalist theory were adopted for the study. The study established that the implementation of the Vision 20:2020 did not effectively improve and modernize production systems in Nigeria between 2007 and 2015. Again, the implementation of Vision 20:2020 did not impact effectively on the production of tubers, grains and livestock in Nigeria between 2007 and 2015. The “improved seed projects”, Agricultural Credit Support Scheme (ACSS) as well as Commercial Agricultural Credit Scheme (CACS), and some stated subsidy packages (including that of acquisition of tractors, fast yielding crops, etc) could not be accessed by most farmers. Irrigation and efficient extension schemes, as well as use of highly disease resistant livestock campaign were not implemented. Adequate funds were not released for agricultural research institutes thus leading to low adaptability to modern farming techniques. Worse still, rural farmers lacked information on modern farming techniques, as monies meant for farmers’ enlightenment programmes were embezzled. Therefore, production of tubers, grains and livestock has either declined from 129947000 tons in 2006 (i.e. prior to implementation period) or recorded insignificant increases subsequently as against the policy goal of 100 percent increase in production. The study recommended that the government should match the Vision 20:2020 agricultural policy with commensurate funding and corrupt practices must also be checked at the level of policy implementation so as to achieve good result. The government should also advance workable strategy of attracting meaningful contribution from the private sector under the public-private partnership (PPP) framework.

Collaboration and Commercialization of University and Industry in Public Universities in South East, Nigeria
Uzonwune, Jovita Onyinye & G.G. Kpee (Ph.D.)- December 2019 Page No.: 65-71
The study investigated collaboration and commercialization of university and industry in public universities in south east, Nigeria. Two research questions and two null hypotheses guided the study. This study adopted a descriptive survey design. The population for the study is two thousand, three hundred and seventy-three (2373). This is made up of 668 administrative staff and 1705 Chief Executive Officers. The study was a descriptive survey design. The sample size was 894 (467 administrative staff and 427 CEOs). The sample was drawn through multistage sampling procedure using cluster and disproportionate stratified random sampling techniques. Collaboration and Commercialization in University-Industry Questionnaire (CCUIQ) was used for data collection. Face and content validities were ensured by experts. Internal consistency through Cronbach alpha gave reliability coefficient of 0.89 for CCUIQ. Mean, standard deviation and z-test were used for data analysis. It was found among others that the ways collaborative training programmes can contribute to funding of universities are: industrial funding of training programmes for staff of universities. Moreso, the ways commercialization of research from universities to industries contributes to university funding are through: sale of research findings; sale of intellectual property right; licensing of intellectual property (patent licensing); payment of royalties and Sell of products of technologies developed by industries. The universities should develop functional websites where they can advertise and market their research findings; intellectual property and sell of products of technologies to industries. The university should always sign a memorandum of understanding with any industry of interest on the modus operandi in order not to have a bridge of contract.

Influence of Product Development Strategy on Performance of Middle Level Chain Stores
Carolyn Mwongeli Kyalo, Dr. Elishiba Murigi – December 2019 Page No.: 72-74
This study sought to determine the influence of product development strategy on performance of middle level chain stores. The research did adopt a descriptive research design. The population of the study comprised of three middle level retail stores. The retail stores selected for this study include Uchumi, Tuskys and Naivas supermarkets. A questionnaire was used to collect data. The population of study was chain stores in Nairobi City County that are operational. This consisted of 65 respondents who are the employees of the chain stores. A census was conduct in the study. The primary data was collected by use of self-administered semi-structured questionnaire. Data analysis was done by use of descriptive statistics such as frequencies, percentages, mean scores and standard deviation with the aid of SPSS and presented through tables, charts, graphs, frequencies and percentages. The study established that product development strategies employed by middle level retail chain stores in Nairobi City County positively and significantly influenced their performance. It was concluded that the retail chain stores were performing except Uchumi whose financial status is still poor. Further the study concluded that the firms engaged similar strategies and shared market segments. The study recommends that the middle level retail chain stores need to improve their branding, packing and perceived new product development through rebranding to enhance their sales performance. The study recommends that the firms need to regulate their pricing strategy to avoid plunging them to negative performance. The study recommends further that the firms need to enhance employment of the promotional mix to advertise their products and improve their sales.

ZAHAF Djemaa, Aminurraasyid Bin Yatiban, Abd al-Fattah El-Awaisi – December 2019 Page No.: 75-79
The State of Israel is one of the settler states which seek to eliminate the indigenous population to acquire land to form a Jewish state. With its capital in the eastern part of the city of Jerusalem and to achieve the purpose trying to eliminate the identity of the city and the identity of its inhabitants. However, the eastern part of the city of Jerusalem that has 323,700 population is governed by international law, but the reality is very different. Israeli settlement colonialism carries out racist and inhumane policies towards Palestinians. This reflected negative impact on their societal security. This research examines the impact of Israeli colonial policies on the identity of Palestinians in the eastern part of the city of Jerusalem. This study uses both primary and secondary data. The primary data gathered from the in-depth interviews with the informants from the heterogeneous group. The secondary data contain books, journal articles, magazines, reports etc. This study finds that the identity crisis, the impact on the language, and the Palestinian relations are among the most important factors that suffered by Palestinians in the eastern part of the city of Jerusalem.

Seacoast Smuggling of Rice and Economic Development in Nigeria: Assessment of 2006-2016
Abegunde, O. and Fabiyi, R. – December 2019 Page No.: 80-86
This research investigates smuggling of rice on Nigerian seacoasts and its effects on economic development. The Lagos state and Ogun State seacoasts were used as case study. The study covers the period between 2006 and 2016.This period can relatively be considered to have recorded high rate of smuggling through Nigerian seacoasts. Both primary and secondary data were used for the research and snowball sampling technique was used to collect primary data from actual smugglers, former smugglers, and traders of smuggled goods in the studied areas. Simple percentage was used in analysing data generated from the primary sources while content utilisation was used in analysing data generated through secondary sources. Smuggling of rice was confirmed to occur on high frequency on Nigerian seacoasts between 2006 and 2016. Smuggling of items on Nigerian seacoasts increased between 2006 and 2016 due to high unemployment rate, endemic poverty in the country, individual financial greed, general economic hardship, harsh and detrimental government policies, and love for foreign goods. Seacoast smuggling in Nigeria from 2006 to 2016 negatively affects economic development through economic sabotage of local industries, threat to food security, revenue loss for the government, and health hazard to the residents. Efforts to curb smuggling especially rice on Nigerian seacoasts between 2006 and 2016 were largely ineffective. New measures and improvements on existing measures were recommended to curb smuggling of rice and other smuggled items on Nigerian seacoasts were reduction of port duties, creation of a new anti-smuggling security agency or department from the existing relevant agencies, financial motivation for anti-smuggling security agents, equipping security agents with modern equipment, creation of gainful employment for the youth, establishment youth-targeted economic empowerment programmes, training and retraining of anti-smuggling security agents, conscious fostering of international cooperation. Smuggling can be reduced to a manageable level if the government demonstrate the will and make its policies and programmes citizens oriented.

Ethnic Prejudice and the Challenges of Nation Building in Contemporary Nigeria
Mustapha Salihu, Yahaya Yakubu – December 2019 Page No.: 87-90
Multi ethnic societies such as Nigeria have spent a better part of their existence trying to integrate various groups in a bid to foster the actualization of a supra-national identity. The inability of the state to manage diversity in amongst other factors, upholds the prevailing prejudice and antagonism that characterizes ethnic-groups interaction. Too often ethnic-based agitations have averted meaningful efforts at national integration thereby fostering favoritism, exclusion and discrimination to mention but a few. Hence, prevailing policies and institutions aimed fostering national integration should be reviewed in lieu of their inability to attain predetermined results.

Non-Academic Determinants Influencing Academic Performance: A Study of Services and Facilities at the University of Dhaka
Pronita Dutta – December 2019 Page No.: 91-96
Universities are the bedrock for higher learning, creative thinking and innovation. Universities need to offer the desired infrastructure to create an enabling environment for learning, teaching and research to reach global standards in education. In Bangladesh, only a few studies have explored education quality of universities and most of these are on private ones and no study has been undertaken to assess basic infrastructural conditions in public universities, especially the Dhaka University. This paper intends to fill the gap by inquiring into the extent Dhaka University has made its physical infrastructure convenient for students and researchers and what resources are available for their learning.

Institutional Quality and Economic Welfare Nexus: Evidence from Panel ARDL Models
Christopher Eho Olong, Dobdinga Cletus Fonchamyo, Molem C. Sama – December 2019 Page No.: 97-111
The development agenda for many African countries in the last few decades has been geared towards improving their quality of institutions and economic transformation through human development. This paper investigates the relationship between formal and informal institutional quality on human development using the Auto Regression Distribution Lag (ARDL) models. The paper makes use of secondary data collected from, Heritage Foundation, World Development Indicators, United Nations Development Program and Transparency International, from 2001 to 2018. The study reveals a long-run robust inverse relationship between institutional quality and human development with an adjustment speed of 10% for any deviation from equilibrium. The formal institutional quality (economic freedom) has a direct and significant relationship with economic welfare while informal institutional quality (corruption) has a significant inverse relationship with economic welfare. To mitigate the effect of institutional quality on human development, it is recommended that governments in African should enact laws to effectively fight corruption but should also allow some level of corruption to exist since this significantly increases entrepreneurial activity in the short-run.

Female Students’ Perceptions on Physical Education and Sport Curriculum: A Case of Two Higher Learning Institutions in Masvingo, Zimbabwe
Jenet Mudekunye, Tafara Mufanechiya, Albert Mufanechiya- December 2019 Page No.: 112-119
The aim of this study was to establish the influence of female students’ perceptions on their participation in Physical Education and Sport (PES) in higher learning institutions of Masvingo, Zimbabwe. The study employed a qualitative case study. In-depth interviews and focus group discussions were used as data collection instruments. Data were presented in narrative form and analyses were done in line with the aim of the study. The sample comprised twenty female students who were purposively sampled from two institutions of higher learning. The study disclosed that the participation of female students in PES, in institutions of higher learning was, to a larger extent, influenced by stereotypical perceptions based on socialisation backgrounds, cultural norms and beliefs based on the idea that PES is for males, not females. The study also found that perceptions about injuries, muscularity and keeping up appearances in preparation for marriage contributed to the negative perceptions about PES participation amongst female students. The study, further revealed that some female students, though a minority group, had positive perceptions on their participation in PES and believed that PES participation empowered them, improved their self-esteem and helped them to live health lifestyles. The study recommended the need for government gender policies, conventions and declarations to focus on PES programs that might help change the perceptions of female students towards the development of their athletic potential. The study also suggested that institutions of higher learning introduce sensitisation programs where parents are involved as a way of transforming those perceptions that hinder the participation of female students in PES.

Gustia Haryati, Andayani, Atikah Anindyarini – December 2019 Page No.: 151-155
The Indonesian language is experiencing very rapid development, not only in Indonesia but also abroad. This is evidenced by a large number of foreign speakers who are interested in learning Indonesian, or what is known as BIPA, namely Indonesian for Foreign Speakers. One of the interests of foreign students coming to Indonesia is because Indonesia has a diversity of cultures. Culture is the most important factor that must be taught to foreign students. This study aims to explain and illustrate the manifestation of local culture in BIPA textbooks that are focused on textbooks namely the Indonesian Sahabatku and Keren textbooks. The form of research used is content analysis with a qualitative approach by recording symbols or messages systematically and interpretatively, the source of the data is the BIPA textbook. Data was collected using observations and in-depth interviews with several BIPA experts to support data analysis. The results of this study found that the form of local culture is an important aspect for students in the success of BIPA learning. The material presented about culture can increase students’ motivation and goals in learning BIPA because learning the language of the nation is the same as learning culture in the global era.

Comparing Sensory Processing Abilities of age-Matched Atypical and Typical School Going Children in Pakistan
Jawaria. S, Rizwana.W, Imran.A, Nighat. T- December 2019 Page No.: 156-160
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in sensory processing abilities among age-matched children between ages 3 to 9 years with atypical children i.e. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) & Cerebral palsy (CP), and those who are typically developing i.e. School going children in Pakistan.
METHOD: Reported sensory processing abilities of 150 children with ASD and CP were compared to age-matched peers who were typically developing, using the Short Sensory Profile (SSP). Data was collected through the survey. Forms were distributed and then recollected from different mainstream schools to collect the data of typical children and special schools and institutions in Karachi for data collection of atypical children.
RESULTS: Data gave the clear evidence that there are more sensory issues in children with disabilities as compared to typical developing children.
CONCLUSION: The findings of the study confirm the prevalence and types of sensory processing impairments in atypical children. Further research is needed to more clearly define patterns of sensory processing problems in children with ASD and CP as well as school going children.

Jackson Luvusi, Dr. Murigi Elishiba Muthoni – December 2019 Page No.: 175-178
The environmental conditions of many companies have changed rapidly. This resulted to serious competition among telecommunication companies in Kenya, which caused Telkom Kenya Limited to seek for effective marketing expansion strategies that could differentiate itself from others in order to enhance its performance. Therefore, this study aimed at investigating the influence of market penetration strategy on the performance of Telkom Kenya Limited in Nairobi City County. The study adopted a descriptive research design. The selected target population was Telkom Kenya Limited in Nairobi Region. The total population was 75 respondents comprising of 5 marketing managers and 70 support staff. This study carried out a census of 75 respondents. Primary data was collected using questionnaires comprising of both structured and unstructured questions. Questionnaires were piloted to 10 respondents who were not included in the final study to assess the validity and reliability of the instruments. Validity was assessed using content validity and reliability was tested using Cronbach Alpha test. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation and presented using tables, figures and charts. Inferential statistics were analysed using correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. The study examined that market penetration strategy had a significant influence on the performance of Telkom Kenya Limited. The study concluded that Telkom Kenya takes advantage of low prices to increase product demand and increase market share through market penetration strategy. The study recommended that for effective implementation of market penetration strategy, Telkom Kenya should keep on adjusting the price to increase sales as lowering prices is an effective tactic to attract potential customers.

The Scientific facts in the holy Qur’an (With Particular Reference to Astronomy and Embryology)
Tijani Ahmad Ashimi – December 2019 Page No.: 179-184
The holy Qur’an, the main source of Islamic faith is a book believed by Muslims to be of completely divine origin. Muslims believe the Quran to be the book of divine guidance revealed from God to Muhammad through the angel Gabriel over a period of twenty-three years and view the Quran as God’s final revelation to humanity. As such, Quran has solutions to all the problems of humanity irrespective of how complex they may be and in what age they occur. It deals with all human life from cradle to death. While some worldview highly depend on human experience to have solution for scientific knowledge, and while some religious tradition only rely on scientific method (observation, experiment, skepticism, hypothesis and theory)to obtain the knowledge of natural phenomenon, the scripture of Islam (Qur’an) which is also a book of knowledge and science seems to have already proven these scientific fact for long centuries. Thus, this humble paper by adopting textual approach will examine the scientific knowledge vis-à-vis in the Qur’an, with particular reference to Embryology and astronomy.

From Cambridge Analytica to ‘O To Ge’ (Enough is Enough): The Dynamics of Political Canvassing and Elections in a Social Media Environment
Prof. Dr. Kemal Ozden, Abubakar Rakiya Tanko – December 2019 Page No.: 185-193
This study examined the socio-political dynamics surrounding the use of digital and social media platforms in political canvassing. Specifically, the research explored the platforms’ prospects for promotion of dialogue between elected officials and the population; as well as mass voter engagement. The prospects were however observed to be marred by challenges such as the implication on political reality arising out of the spread of fake news in social media; as well as the nuances of government regulation and oversight of social media platforms and its effects on privacy and civil liberties. These nuances were deconstructed using case studies of President Obama’s use of digital platforms to bypass traditional media and engage directly with youths during the 2008 American presidential elections; Russia’s influence operations via deployment of fake social media accounts to affect the outcome of the 2016 American presidential elections; and the datamining efforts of Cambridge Analytica, the British political consulting company, in gauging perceptions towards generation of targeted messaging to affect the outcome of the same election. Other case studies explored included President Trump’s use of Tweeter to shape the political narrative in his own image as well as the ‘O to Ge’ (Enough is Enough) movement in Kwara State, Nigeria – amplified to epic proportions via social media – reflected a political earthquake of seismic proportions in demystifying the Saraki political dynasty. It was concluded that while social media holds out promises of greater political engagement, it nevertheless holds greater danger to aspects of civil liberties and political reality arising from the medium’s sheer ubiquity.

Symbolic Representation and Conflict Management in Africa
Elias Nankap Lamle, Felix Ogbewe Aigbovbioisa – December 2019 Page No.: 194-204
Symbols have enabled a smooth flow of communication in precolonial Africa. It was the major means for which history was stored. Creative artistry works were used by the Africans to communicate their values and educate their people. Symbols were not just a mere aspect of African culture but the major means for which order was reached and formed the bases for enforcement where the need arose. Therefore, this work provides an explanation on symbolic representation and how it was used in time past and still being used by the indigenous Africans to manage conflict and for consensus building within the society. To this end, qualitative method was used to generate data where related literatures were reviewed to elucidate facts with conclusion and recommendations made for the benefit for further researches.

The Use of Block Plays in Enhancing the Acquisition of Mathematical Concepts and Skills in Early Childhood Education: A Study of ECD Centres in Eldoret West Sub-County, Kenya
Busienei Rose Chepketer – December 2019 Page No.: 205-210
Children have a right to receive education, and Early Childhood Education (ECDE) should be considered part of this right. An interesting challenge in the field of early education is the use of block plays in teaching and learning of children to promote thinking and learning in many areas including mathematics. Block play activities have been identified as to have a significant impact on the acquisition of mathematical concepts and skills in Early Childhood Education. The main purpose of this study was to assess the use of Block play in enhancing the acquisition of Mathematical concepts and skills in ECDE pupils in Eldoret West Sub-county, Kenya. This study was guided by Jean Piaget’s theory of cognitive development in children. The study adopted the descriptive survey research design. The target population was 181 public ECDE centres with 181 ECDE mathematics teachers and 3620 ECDE pupils. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 54 public ECDE centres and 362 pupils respectively. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 54 top class mathematics teachers. The research instruments for data collection were questionnaires, observation schedule and checklist which were validated and piloted before the use. The study findings established that the variety of shapes and sizes in block play toys enables children through construction and experiment to discover the basic structure of mathematics, under geometry and spatial sense. The study recommends that the government through the Ministry of Education needs to come up with clear policy guidelines regarding play in pre-school centers and clearly define the play activities according to the developmental stages of children. The government should enhance provision of early childhood play materials to enable pre-school children develop holistically.

Lateral Transfers and Organizational Commitment of Deposit Money Banks in Port Harcourt, Nigeria
Graham-Douglas, Diekumo Soala and Dr. J.M.O. Gabriel – December 2019 Page No.: 211-217
This study examined the lateral transfers and organizational commitment in Deposit Money Banks in Port Harcourt. The study adopted a cross sectional survey design. Primary data was collected using structured questionnaire. The population for the study was 131 full-time and permanent employees of five selected Deposit Money Banks in Port Harcourt. The sample size of 99 was determined using the Taro Yamane sample size determination formula. The reliability was achieved using the Cronbach Alpha Cofficeint with all items being above the 0.70 acceptance benchmark set by Nunnally (1970). After data cleaning, data for 87 respondents were suitable for used for data analysis. The hypotheses were tested using Spearman Rank Order Correlation Coefficient with the aid of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 23.0. The study finding revealed that there is a significant relationship between lateral transfers and organizational commitment in Deposit Money Banks in Port Harcourt. The study concludes that by practicing lateral transfers, the Deposit Money Banks in Port Harcourt can boost the levels of their affective, normative and continuance commitment. The study thus recommends that Deposit Money Banks should seek out ways to integrate work flow and departments through lateral transfers. By such transfers, workers are exposed to the work processes and operations of related units and are able to bring alongside their expectations, previous experiences in previous roles which will enable them perform better and enjoy such change in positions.

The Dagomba, Gonja and Bulsa Political Systems and the Concept of Democracy, Myth or Reality?
Dominic Alimbey Dery (Phd), Jacob Ibrahim Abdu, Adam Bawa Yussif (Phd)- December 2019 Page No.: 218-223
The west has always assumed the aura of supremacy when it comes to the practice of democracy. What however, will be contested is any attempt at describe Africans as new entrants to the practice of At best, democracy is no more than a system of government, but in western democracies it has acquired a sacred status, and it is taboo to question it. Democracy, which is the gravamen of this paper. This is what Bhikhu Parekh says of liberalism: Unless, we assume that liberalism represents the final truth about human beings, we cannot indiscriminately condemn societies that do not conform to it. For example, recent Archaeological findings about the existence of functional states in the pre-colonial era, point to the fact that contrary to the age old belief of Africans, these pre-colonial African states were innovative and well organized political institutions of power. States like the Ashanti kingdom, the Zulu kingdom, the Great Zimbabwe, Mapungubwe and Thulamela in South Africa. The study was basically a qualitative one. The study used an ethnographic approach; it is based on how people go about their daily lives. The study was conducted across three different districts and three different ethnic groups. A purposive sample of 50 respondents was purposively sampled, with a breakdown as follows: key informants (5) from each of the three paramountcies making (15), king makers (5) from each of the three paramountcies making (15), kings/chiefs (5) from each of the three paramountcies making (15) and governance experts (5) all adding up to a total of fifty (50) respondents. Because the focus was on chieftaincy, we considered chiefs and king makers as the main actors in the chieftaincy institution. Data were recorded on an audio recorder and in some cases video alongside writing by the researcher. The respondents were assured that this was only to ensure that no details were left out. The key findings are as follows: chieftaincy in the three kingdoms it was revealed practised devolution of power, also decisions were taken in consultation with the chiefs in Council. Council was normally composed of ‘trusted and wise’ chiefs and finally chieftaincy allowed for participation of the ruled. These chiefs will normally create for a where local interest issues were debated and finally accepted before they were promulgated as laws.

Social Media and Political Mobilisation in Nigeria
Fasunwon Adebayo Folorunso Phd. – December 2019 Page No.: 224-230
The media is one of the key gents of political socialization. However, with the intensification of globalisation, and the embrace of culture of social media, political socialization and mobilisation has taken a new form and expression. The reach of social media transcends the traditional reach and form of the old media, with diverse consequences. Using a combination of strategy and functional theories, this study argues that the social media has become a viable and veritable tool of political mobilisation, sensitization, and socialization. The study discovered that government, activists, citizens, politicians, and political parties are able to interact and mobilize the masses, educating them on their grievances, programmes and policies through social media platforms. However, given the uncensored information, and technological manipulations of facts disseminated globally, social media has also become an avenue for broadcasting news and ideas that have mobilized people into violent political activities. This study recommends that while the positive aspects of social media, should be embraced, accepted, and enhanced by nations of the world, there is a need to control its usage in dissemination of violent prone texts and images that may lead to social and political disorders.

Resonating the Unheard Voice through Ammu in Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things: A Postcolonial Feminist Study
Tasnia Talukder, Md. Aminul Haque – December 2019 Page No.: 231-233
This paper focuses on the mechanism of patriarchy -the cultural mindset of society as a barrier to female and social identity formation in society in Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things through Ammu. The author from postcolonial contexts portrays female character Ammu who struggles with the normative gender identity and eventually eliminates the traditions and conventions of Victorian stereotype ‘angel’ woman to provide voices to the silenced women in her contemporary society. Roy’s protagonist Ammu suffers through the strictly rigid patriarchal norms for female power and social identity formation. Based on the postcolonial feminist perspective, this study analyzes how Ammu breaks the double –bind of patriarchy and colonial legacy by voicing up her desires against all the odds of a male-dominated society and try to form her own identity according to her preferences. Nevertheless, Ammu finally tries to confront the existing social inequalities to bring about a social change despite the post-colonial power structure of the society merely by her involvement in different issues. It further exposes the universal parameters of highly conventional society which Ammu faces as a subaltern and compels her to resonate with her unheard voice.

Soffia Pudji Estiasih, Lulus Margiati, Tri Titut Rahayu Ningsih, Rahaju Saraswati – December 2019 Page No.: 241-247
As Indonesia’s favorite food, Tempe-making centers can be found in almost every region. No exception in Surabaya, East Java. One of the biggest tempe centers in the City of Heroes is in the Tenggilis District. Tenggilis Kauman, an area in the east of Surabaya, has been a long time until now many of its citizens produce tempeh so that the area is known as a village of tempe. It is estimated that there are approximately 20 MSMEs (Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises) that produce tempe. The problem often faced by tempe entrepreneurs in Trenggilis Kauman is an inefficient production system, there is still a lot of waste and non value added activity that occurs in the tempe value chain flow. Waste waiting, defective products, excess production and inventory still occur frequently. Because of this condition, researchers conducted lean manufacturing studies and tempe business models to revitalize the small-scale Tempe Industry in Trenggilis Kauman Surabaya. The purpose of this study is to identify wasteworkshop and minimize activities that have no added value to the tempe production system in Trenggilis Kauman Surabaya.
The method used in this research is Waste workshop identification, Value Stream Analysis Tool (VALSAT) and Canvas Business Model. Waste workshopquestionnaire is used to identify the type of waste that often occurs in the process of production of tempe in the village of Tempe Trenggilis Kauman Surabaya. Value Stream analysis Toll is used to determine the mapping tool that will be used to map activities, lead time, demand, production quantities, defective products in the tempe production system. While the CANVAS business model is used to restructure the tempe business process in Trenggilis KaumanSurabaya.
Based on the workshop waste questionnaire, it is known that the most frequent waste in the tempe production system in Trenggilis Kauman Surabaya is the type of waste waiting and excessive transportation activities.Based on the process activity mapping in the tempe production process above it is known that the value-added activity is 62.5 %, while the non-value added activity for the tempe production process in Trenggilis Surabaya is 37.5 %.For the tempe business model in Trenggilis Kauman Surabaya, it is necessary to continuously innovate to adjust to the conditions of the Tempe business competition level both in Indonesia and in the World

Agu, Stephen Ikechukwu; Dr. Okegbe, Theophilius Okonkwo – December 2019 Page No.: 248-255
This study examines the interplay between corporate eco-efficiency and financial performance of Guinness Nigeria Plc. An ex –post facto research design approach was adopted for the study. Using a series data for the period of seven (7) years 2011 to 2017, Guinness Nigeria Plc was studied based on the firms’ position as one largest brewing companies and one of the key players in the industry. Secondary data were obtained from the annual /sustainability reports of the company from 2011 to 2017 financial year. Three hypotheses were formulated and tested in the course of this study. Regression analysis by aid of SPSS v.21 was used to test for statistical significance and relationship between corporate eco-efficiency and financial performance. The results showed that there is significant positive relationship between energy efficiency and financial performance of Guinness Nigeria Plc.This study further revealed that there is a statistical significant and positive relationship between water utilization efficiency (WUE) and financial performance of Guinness Nigeria Plc.Finally, the result also established that there is a statistical positive and significant relationship between the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission management and financial performance of Guinness Nigeria Plc.Based on the findings, this study recommends among others; that the management of Brewers should improve energy efficiency by the use of gas-powered generators, economizers on its boilers and compressors. Brewers should consider the installation of water guns to reduce water flow rate, installation of flow meters for effective data capturing, monitoring & controls. The management of CO2 emission in Brewery firms should accommodate among others; using less fossil fuel for energy and steam generation as well as increased application of solar-powered street lighting.

Study on Bank Efficiency in Bangladesh: A Panel Data Analysis
Md. Nezum Uddin – December 2019 Page No.: 256-261
This research aims to assess the efficiency of commercial banks in Bangladesh using a Z score methodology where Z score (efficiency ratio) is the dependent variable constructed by the proportion of total operating expenses and net operating income of banks. Z score is regressed on some other indices. Panel data estimation technique is used from 2015 to 2017. Two models are constructed in this regard while 6(six) explanatory variables comprise in model-1 and in model-2 an additional independent variable along with previous six variables is added. According to the fashion of panel data estimation, two effect models(fixed effect and random effect) are also estimated. For both models, the random effect is found to be suitable. According to the random effect, three variables have found to be a negative effect, and three variables have observed the positive impact on the Z score in model-1. By the same token in model-2 three indices have a negative, and four indices have a positive effect on the Z score. Remarkably GDP growth rate has found a profoundly positive impact of efficiency ratio in both models.

Prosperity Gospel: Social and Economic Corruption in Disguise
Serah Madiiga Kitsiiri – December 2019 Page No.: 262-266
Prosperity Gospel has spread very fast from its origin to the rest of the world. However, it has done more harm than good to people involved through depriving the subjects and enriching the preachers. Basing on the fact that psychological motivation and giving sacrificially can lead to blessings, victims have increased day by day. The purpose of this paper is to empirically discuss prosperity gospel as corruption in disguise in the church. In a nutshell, the victims and the governments have failed to bring to a stop this debacle that has propagated both social and economic corruption.

Strategies for Social Engagement: The University of Zambia Student Unrests
Brian Chanda Chiluba – December 2019 Page No.: 267-271
Students in higher institutions of learning have several needs to satisfy. At that level of education, they are impatient to end their dependence and strive for autonomy, to take on responsibility in various sectors of the society. This study uses a normative approach, the study of which refers to university unrests contained in different documents including; newspaper reports, published materials and views of students. Therefore, both primary and secondary data techniques were carried out by means of online research, interviews and observations. Data analysis was qualitative. The root causes of student unrest at the University of Zambia were due to accumulation of the unsolved issues. A combination of causes and the recurrence of these cases have contributed to student’s impatience. The analysis model used showed that in managing and resolving students’ unrest, the involvement of university management, government and students body is pertinent. The lack of early warning mechanism to detect problems and take immediate steps as soon as the symptoms of student’s unrest emerged caught the university unaware of what would happen.

Assessing the Effectiveness of Voluntary Retirement among Civil Servants: The Case of Colleges of Education in Ashanti-Brong Ahafo (ASHBA) Regions
Nicholas Aning Boadu, Armstrong Ephraim Awinbugri – December 2019 Page No.: 272-275
The study perused the effectiveness of voluntary retirement amongst civil servants in Colleges of Education, within Ashanti and Brong Ahafo Regions(ASHBA). Quantitative and qualitative research approaches in the form of closed and open ended research questions were used in conducting the study.
The research population was 200, out of which 156 respondents were purposively selected as the sample size from thirteen (13) Colleges of Education, nine (9) in Ashanti and four(4) in BrongAhafo regions respectively.
The research unraveled that voluntary retirement is not effective amongst civil servants in Ghana. One hundred and thirty one (131) respondents, representing 84% believed voluntary retirement was not effective amongst civil servants. This is evidenced by the fact that, within the last ten(10) years, no civil servant went on voluntary retirement within the researched organizations. The researchers thus recommended that greater incentives should be put in place to entice people to go on voluntary retirement just like Malaysia that has lower cost of housing and living so that employment avenues could be engineered for the younger generation.

An Investigation of Academic Performance of Grade 9 Learners of Computer Studies: A Case of Chamunda Secondary School of Masaiti District, Zambia
Beatrice Mwaba-Chiluba, Akakandelwa Akakandelwa, Brian Chanda Chiluba – December 2019 Page No.: 276-282
Development and teaching of Computer Studies in African secondary schools is vital if the continent is to reduce the knowledge, technological and economic gaps between itself and the rest of the world. But there had been few or no studies conducted to establish the performance of learners in Computer Studies subject so as to determine the worthiness of integrating it in school curriculum. There is a significant gap within the current bodies of research, most research does not focus on performance of learners in Computer Studies. This research aimed to fill this gap by addressing the performance of learners in Computer Studies since it was introduced in Secondary Schools in Zambia. A mixed method was adopted, using a convergent concurrent parallel design. The qualitative methods used interviews, while the quantitative used a descriptive cross sectional study. A 100 Pupils were randomly selected to respond to the questionnaire and 13 staffs that included the Head teacher and teachers teaching computer studies were interviewed, making a total sample of 113. Fewer teachers were found teaching computer studies, while the Examination Council of Zambia archives of Grade 9 results for 2015, 2016 and 2017 showed a decreasing trend in performance. The pass rate in 2015 was 56%. In 2016 the pass rate was 38%. In 2017 the pass rate was 23%. Boys performed better than girls over the years. The study revealed a third of the learners had positive perception, with a dominance of males towards. Students challenges were computer accessibility and those that never had access were (65%). These results suggested that simply increasing the educational input on computers at school may not produce the desired effect; instead, the quality of teaching also matters. Integrating computer use into effective instructional activities plays a more important role in influencing student academic performance.

The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) and Jurisdictional Issues
Hakeem Olugbolahan Dawodu – December 2019 Page No.: 283-288
International Criminal Law seeks to make certain crimes punishable at the international level by bringing such crimes within the purview of international Courts or Tribunals. The international court or tribunal so created therefore assumes jurisdiction for the trial of persons accused in this regard. This jurisdiction is without prejudice to the National Courts’ power to try such cases and or individual accused persons. This exercise of Jurisdiction may pose a problem even where the international court or tribunal has been vested with what is termed as jurisdictional primacy. This paper examines this issue and possible conflicts inherent in this arrangement and proffers possible solutions in resolving its consequential logjam using the ICTR set up in 1994 to try cases arising out of the crisis in that country in 1993 as a case study.

Restructuring School Education in Rural Nigeria: Issues and Challenges
Abdulkarim Alhaji Isa, Mohammed Lawan Bashayi, Shettima Alhaji Umar, and Ahmad Babayo – December 2019 Page No.: 289-291
The poor state of the rural schools and their predicament accompanied by unfavourable government education policies towards the rural area was the key factor that attract this research. Nigeria, as one of the largest economy among the African countries, is still a developing nation, this indicates the need for reforms that will bring about technological development. For Nigeria to become a developed nation there is a need for improvement in the quality of education especially in the rural areas where a large chunk of the Nigerian population resides. The schools in rural areas lack the necessary infrastructure, such as teaching aid, conducive atmosphere, qualified teachers and other necessary needs for improving this sector. This made the residence of the rural areas feel neglected and consider education as waste of time. The present study makes a cursory reading of the national policy on education and makes a comparison with what is actually happening in the rural areas by making an interview with the stakeholders and recommends an urgent need of special educational policy to be formulated, the government should modify its policy on education so as to improve education in rural areas. The colonial system of education should be abandon or modify to suit the current need for technological development everywhere.

The Teaching Constraints of Indonesian as a Foreign Language in Thailand
Dian Ratna Putriningtyas D, Irawan Suntoro, Sowiyah – December 2019 Page No.: 303-306
This study aims to describe the constraints of teaching Indonesian for Thai students in the Southeast Asian program. Data collection is done by observation and note-taking techniques and sees competent or interview involved. The data that has been obtained is then analyzed. The results of this study are presented informally or use words from the author’s description. The results of this study have constraints in linguistic and non-linguistic aspects. The results of the analysis show that non-linguistic constraints consist of problems of cultural differences between Indonesia and Thailand, environmental influences that cause disruption, and the negative impact of the Internet use, especially when students use google translation. Meanwhile, linguistic constraints include several aspects of language in Indonesian linguistic forms such as the acquisition of pronunciation, acquisition of grammar, and acquisition of vocabulary related to the first language (Thai) and second language (English).

Predicting Strategic Planning on Job Effectiveness of Academic Heads of Tertiary Institutions in North Central, Nigeria
Ubi, Ije Ubana, Okongo, John Nsor & Arikpo, Nneoyi Nnana – December 2019 Page No.: 315-321
The study focused on Predicting Strategic Planning on Job Effectiveness of Academic Heads of Tertiary Institutions in North Central. Two research questions and hypotheses were adopted for the study and the adopted the descriptive survey design. Data were collected from a sample of 372 academic head of departments (HODs) from six tertiary institutions in North Central, Nigeria using a structured researchers’ developed instrument titled “Strategic Planning and Job Effectiveness Questionnaires (SPJEQ). Data collected were analyzed using simple regression analysis. The findings revealed that mission statement and core values can highly predict job performance in the study area. Also most institutions do not see the need for adequately accepting and working toward the attainment of the mission, vision statement and core values of the organization which in-turn promotes excellence in job performance by academic heads. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that factors related to strategic planning should be well articulated to management and staff of the tertiary institution. Also, the vision, mission statement and core value of the organization should be clearly spelt out in the organization.

Primary School Students and Teachers’ Perceptions on the Role of Teachers as Moral Role Models
Timotheo Elinihaki – December 2019 Page No.: 333-336
Moral values and ethical values are mostly used interchangeably by most of the people. However, there is slight difference between the two terms. Moral values are the social, cultural and religious beliefs which tell us what is right or wrong (Encyclopedia Encarta, 2019). Moral contain rules and standards to be followed by a society or a culture as right. Certain rules or standards in one culture may be considered as right while in another may seen wrong. Ethics is the branch of philosophy that deals with the principles of conduct; it works as a guiding principle as to decide what is good or bad (Begley, 2017). Ethical values are abstract and the same regardless of any culture, religion or society. Some of the ethical values are truthfulness, honesty, loyalty, respect, fairness and integrity (Binder, 2015).

Status of the Brackish Water Fishery in Anawasala in Kalpitiya Divisional Secretariat, Sri Lanka
M.D.K.L.Gunathilaka – December 2019 Page No.: 343-346
Brackish water fishery is one of the segments of the fishery industry in Sri Lanka. Lagoon environments are the most appropriate areas for brackish water fishery worldwide. Kalpitiya is well known for brackish water fishery based on Puttalam lagoon. Generally, the small-scale fishery has dominant constraints. The objective of the study is to identify the issues associated with small-scale fishery (SSF) in Anaiwasala fishing village. To fulfil the aim of the study questionnaire survey and non-structured interviews based on random sampling method was performed with visual encounter survey for one year to obtain primary data. The available literature on small-scale fishery was studied to get secondary data.MS Excel 2016 version was used to analyse the data and perform the relevant mapping. The results show the SSF in the village has different constraints. Saccostrea spp, Merefrixcasta, Penaeusindicus, Scylla serrata and Epinephalu ssp are the dominant species in the area. 16.6% of Tungusnet usage in the area is illegal. Dragnet and push net are identified illegal fishing methods while few of fishermen used secret illegal fishing methods.13% of teppam (log raft) generally carried out illegal dragnets. More than 80% of fishermen seasonally engaged in crab harvesting.80% of residents only have secondary education is a direct threat for the SSF. Unawareness has contributed to destruct associated surface ecosystems and benthic ecosystem. Non-target species catching also existed in the area. Increase of the number of fishermen and inadequate fish species population is also affected to have a standard SSF industry in Anaiwasala. To overcome the issues awareness programmes and enforcement of the legal framework should be applied in Anaiwasala fishing village for the utmost existence of SSF community.

Contemporary Gospel Music Debate: Transformative (Conservatives) or Confirmative (Liberals) Perspective
Serah Madiiga Kitsiiri – December 2019 Page No.: 347-350
Music has been for long time perceived to be powerful and its impact on human beings cannot be doubted. However, Christians argue on the way gospel music is being packaged. The conservatives have held the view that gospel music should stick to the biblical standards without emulating what secular music portrays. On the contrary, the liberals feel that emulating what secular music portrays gives room to reach the people for purposes of transformation. The Purpose of this paper is to discuss the two perspectives concerning gospel music which have been a point of debate of late. To achieve this, the paper reviews the existing literature on the subject matter.

Three research questions and three hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. Data were collected using a 25-item pretest, and a 25-item post-test which also served as a retention test and had a reliability index of 0.85 by Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient Statistic. The Subjects were 140 senior Secondary students purposively drawn from a population of 1257 in the Local Government Area of Study. The 4 teachers received orientation two, each on the use of MLS and the expository methods as embodied in the lesson plans developed and validated for the study. After the 4 week of experimental treatment data were collected on the achievement test while the data for retention were collected 3 weeks later.
For the research questions, means and standard deviations were used to analyze the data while Analysis of Covariance was used to analyze the data on the hypotheses. The study revealed that the experimental group taught using MLS performed significantly beer than the control group both in achievement and retention. The female students scored higher than the males in the experimental group. The implications of the study were highlighted.

Flood Disaster Vulnerability in North Central Nigeria
BAMIDELE, Owemidu Femi, BADIORA, Adewumi Israel – December 2019 Page No.: 364-371
The vulnerability of residents and their livelihoods to flood disaster was examined in this study.
In order to achieve this, the study was conducted using questionnaire and field observation. The data obtained were analysed using descriptive and statistical analysis. It was revealed through findings that residents had high level of awareness of flood occurrence. It was also revealed that flood frequency in the study area was high mainly especially in the highly espoused zones. Moreover, vulnerability to flood disaster varies significantly (p< 0.05) across the 12 selected Neighbourhoods in the study area. The Neighbourhood with the highest vulnerability was Felele (0.35), followed by Adankolo (1.35), Sabo (1.71), Rijia (2.31), Marine (2.71), and so on while GRA had the lowest (5.15) vulnerability. Although flood frequency was highest in Rijia (38.94), vulnerability in the area is only fourth highest because it has a relatively strong coping capacity (1.5) compared to Felele (1.2), Adankolo (0.8) and Sabo (0.5).To reduce the impact of floods, it is very important to identify and understand the socioeconomic, physical and environmental factors that determine people’s exposure, sensitivity and ability to cope with stress or change.

Economic Implications of Tobacco Usage on Sustainable Development in South and West African Region
JOSEPH, Afolabi Ibikunle Ph.D. – December 2019 Page No.: 383-389
National development and invariably regional development is a pre–requisite to sustainable development. However, the role of youth in sustainable development in any country cannot be downplayed especially in terms of labour supply, human capital development, future revenue generation and future hope of parent as a long run return. Incidentally, substance use such as cocaine, heroin, cannabis sativa, tobacco and in the most recent psychoactive drugs like benerlyne with codeine, toilet sneezing and shisha have become so rampant among the youth with their devastating health effect such as cancer, mental illness, psychosis, tuberculosis but more importantly, the negative social behavior and even death affects development. This paper therefore, examines the economic implications of tobacco use on sustainable development in South and West African. Applying the descriptive and situational analysis, the study reveals that tobacco use as well as tobacco – related deaths is on the increase and has devastating effects on the long run in reducing human capital and loss of revenue to the economy. The study therefore recommends that an outright ban of tobacco use in public place be enforced and high taxes be imposed on tobacco and related goods in order to reduce its massive consumption by youth.

Extrapolative Analysis of the Economic Implications of Tobacco Use in Central and East Africa
JOSEPH, Afolabi Ibikunle Ph.D. – December 2019 Page No.: 390-397
Tobacco related diseases are threat to public health all over the world, with more than 7 million deaths recorded annually. More than 6 million of those deaths are fallouts of direct tobacco consumption while about 890,000 are from passive smoking. Most of these victims, as existing studies reveals are youths. Coincidentally, the role of youths in sustainable development cannot be underestimated. Youths are the source of the human capital that create wealth for the nation and the foundation of any sustainability. Incidentally, rampant abuse of tobacco, with its attendant health problems like cancer and most importantly the negative social behavior and death significantly affect economic growth. Given the relative significance to economic growth therefore, this paper sets out toexamine the economic implications of tobacco use on sustainable development in Central and East Africa. Applying the descriptive and situational analysis, the study reveals that tobacco use as well as tobacco – related deaths is on the increase. Hence, tobacco use stands as impediment towards achieving SDGs in sub-Saharan Africa. The study therefore recommends that high tariff be imposed on tobacco in order to discourage its massive consumption by youth so as to keep them healthy for the attainment of SDGs.

The Challenges of Knowledge Age and Transformational Leadership in Higher Education Institutions
Muftahu Jibirin Salihu – December 2019 Page No.: 405-409
This study is intended to explore the concept of ‘challenges’ in the context of workplace with specific attention to higher education institutions through the industrial era, knowledge age, and the present globalisation time. Similarly, with the philosophy that the greater the quality of leadership, the higher the possibility of an institution to overcome its challenges, this paper decides to examine how to address these challenges from the leadership point of view by theorising the various approaches of organisational transformation and organisational leadership, their characteristics, and types with a case study on how these theories, characteristics, and types can remarkably transform organisations from challenges into success and contextualise their application to higher education institutions towards a better educational system for sustainable tomorrow.
