Abstract:

Nigeria remains the most populous country in Africa and the seventh globally. The country has estimated population of 198 million. The recent World Population Prospect predicts that by 2050, Nigeria will become the third most populated country in the world. The country’s average annual population growth rate is 6.5 per cent without commensurate increase in social amenities. Currently, Nigerian cities host wide spread poverty, under-employment, unemployment and insecurity.  Ideally it is the duty of the state to regulate population growth in accord with economic development.

Abstract:

The domestic Muscovy duck (Cairina moschata) provide unique genetic resources patterned by both tropical environmental conditions and human activities, the evaluation of their genetic diversity and population structure will shade light on the mechanism of their remarkable adaptive capacities. We therefore analyzed the variation in mtDNA cytochrome b and nuclear DNA CYP2U1 sequences of 378 Nigerian Muscovy ducks (comprising of 287 de novo and 91 downloaded) plus 80 published sequences of Muscovy ducks from India. The results showed high haplotype diversity (0.800 ± 0.023) among Nigerian Muscovy

AbstractHere we provide an update of the 2013 report on the Nigerian Twin and Sibling Registry (NTSR). The major aim of the NTSR is to understand genetic and environmental influences and their interplay in psychological and mental health development in Nigerian children and adolescents. Africans have the highest twin birth rates among all human populations, and Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa. Due to its combination of large population and high twin birth rates, Nigeria has one of the largest twin populations in the world. In this article, we provide current updates on the NTSR

This study examines the impact of government expenditure on economic growth in Nigeria using time series data spanning from 1980-2020. Variables used includes real gdp, government final consumption expenditure and population growth rate. Augmented Dickey Fuller and Philips-Perron unit root test for stationary of the variable, Johansen Co integration, Vector Error Correction and Granger Causality tests were estimated. Johansen co integration test result indicates the existence of long run relationship while the error corrections model reveals the absence of shot run relation among the variable.

Abstract:

This paper aims to examine the current state of psychology in Nigeria, focusing specifically on its role in modern education and practice. It presents a thorough review of existing literature, highlighting the necessity to reconsider the field of psychology to tackle the unique challenges within the Nigerian context. The contemporary landscape of psychology education and practice in Nigeria is undergoing significant transformation, influenced by both global trends and local needs. This review assesses the current state of psychology as a discipline within Nigerian academia and professional pra

Abstract:

As the Nigerian population increasingly becomes urban; the situation has had harmful societal, environmental, health and infrastructural effects on the urban centres. The situation is exacerbated by the fact that the rate of land urbanisation in the country is moving at a slower pace; thereby placing pressure on the existing urban centres. Research conducted on urbanisation in Nigeria has revealed that the rate of urbanisation is unsustainable, serves as a constraint on economic development, and Nigeria’s cities are among the worst to live in.

Abstract:

The situation in Nigeria is rapid population growth with high level of unemployment rate. The theoretical proposition of the Okun’s law suggests an indirect relationship existing between unemployment and output growth. This study tests the validity of Okun’s law by examining the impact of youth employment generation on sustainable growth in the Nigerian economy. We modeled real gross domestic product against unemployment rate, population growth, labour and government expenditure between 1986 and 2017. The empirical findings show that there is short- and long- run relationship existing between

Abstract:

As the Nigerian population continues to increase, so does the number of youth. The population of youth (18-35 years) in Nigeria is 52.2 million (i.e. about 28% of total population) and more than the entire population of Ghana, London and Benin Republic put together. In spite of the prospects that this number holds, young people in Nigeria are largely marginalized from governance, leaving them helpless to counter their continued exclusion. This is evidenced by the lower percentage of youth that hold political and leadership positions in the country. The purpose of this study was to examine the

Abstract:

The challenge of ensuring food security, which concerns not only the availability of food products but also their nutritional quality, is particularly important for modern Nigeria. The diet of the population lacks sufficient animal protein, which entails many health problems. Nigeria’s livestock sector, despite its considerable size, is not able to satisfy the demand of the rapidly growing population for animal protein. The steady development of animal husbandry in Nigeria is hindered by the escalating conflict between farmers and pastoralists, which causes loss of life, destruction of crops a

Existing data on genes relevant to drug response, so far generated for the population, indeed confirm the prevalence of some clinically significant pharmacogenes. These reports detail prevailing genetic alleles and metabolic phenotypes of vital drug metabolizing monooxygenases, transferases and drug transporters.

Though numerous youth empowerment programs have been put in place by the Nigerian government, those programs lack sustainability. Today, the sad reality is that most of the youths in Nigeria are

This paper discusses the concept of poverty and relates it to Nigerian situation and looks at various poverty reduction strategies by successive governments in Nigeria and agrees that such strategies did not yield the desired results as more than half of the country’s population still wallows in poverty. The paper looks at the experience of the Libyan government under the administration of Muammar Gaddafi in fighting poverty as an example that can be replicated in fighting poverty in Nigeria.
