    Regional Integration and the Neo-functionalist Model: The Brexit Narrative
    (Chin. Polit. Sci. Rev. 5, 2018) Aje Oluwatobi; Chidozie Felix C.
    The socio-economic and political advantages derived as benefits of the integrative project have been the justification for most integrative initiatives. This has also made regional integration a major phenomenon in international relations, both as a field of study and as a sphere of actual relation. Many theories are paraded in scholarly circles explaining the rationale and process of the integrative project. However, little attention is paid to the fact that, on the continuum of integration, retrogression and disengagement is possible as social realities unfold. Using archival research method, the work examines the relevance of the neo-functional model in explaining recent trends on integration, using Brexit as a case study. It contends that the neo-functionalist model still holds analytical purchase in approximating contemporary trends of integration

    Perception on Child Rights Protection and Media Performance Among Kuje Internally Displaced Persons' Camp, Abuja, Nigeria
    (Media and Its Role in Protecting the Rights of Children in Africa, 2020) Chidozie Felix C.; Oghuvbu Augustine Ejiroghene
    This essay examines media and child rights protection in Nigeria, using Kuje IDPs Camp in Abuja, FCT as a case study. It argues that the media has important and indispensable roles to play in enabling the promotion of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and Nigeria's Child Rights Act, 2003. The study adopted the qualitative method through interviews and focus group discussions conducted at the Kuje IDPs Camp. Findings suggest that the Nigerian government is not committed to implementing the prescription of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Child Rights Act, thus further jeopardizing the already fractured rights of the of children in IDPs camps in Nigeria. Similarly, the media is not paying attention to the plight of the displaced children. The prescriptions advanced in this study as well as the conclusions reached are relevant for policy makers at the national, regional, and international levels responsible for the rights of the children, especially the Nigerian child.

    Terrorism in Nigeria
    (Nigerian Politics, 2020-12-04) Joshua Segun; Chidozie Felix C.
    Terrorism has become one of the most attractive concepts in the field of security studies, especially since the international security architecture was radically transformed in 2001 following the 9/11 incident in the United States. Thus, terrorism has acquired a transnational outlook in the global governance agenda. This chapter is an attempt to explore the issues surrounding terrorism in Nigeria, since the recent upsurge in terrorist activities has drawn immense interest from both local and international stakeholders. This chapter is a desk study which borrows heavily from secondary sources of data to examine meaning and feature(s) of terrorism, types of terrorism, theoretical explanations of terrorism in Nigeria, a historical overview of terrorism in Nigeria, cases of terrorists attack and effects of terrorism on the Nigerian economy, politics and diplomatic relations. It argues that the causes of terrorism in Nigeria are multidimensional in nature and scope, suggesting a multi-stakeholder approach to stemming the tide in the polity. It further establishes an inextricable link between terrorism and religious fundamentalism in the Nigeria experience. It concludes that unless the country cooperates with other international actors, especially her immediate neighbours in combating the menace of domestic terrorism, it will remain vulnerable to terrorist activities which have increasingly become globalized in nature and scope.

    Media and the Challenges of Displaced Men in Nigeria: A Case Study of Durumi Area One IDPs Camp, Abuja, FCT
    (Handbook of Research on the Global Impact of Media on Migration Issues, 2020) Chidozie Felix C.; Oghuvbu Augustine Ejiroghene
    This chapter addresses the under-reportage of the challenges confronting the male population of the IDPs by the mainstream media in Nigeria. It argues that the challenges facing the IDPs as a result of the Boko Haram terrorism, natural and man-made disasters, as well as the Hausa-Fulani mayhem, are peculiar to all the IDPs irrespective of demographic disparities. With the aid of 256 copies of questionnaires distributed among the male population of IDPs, recording 100 percent return rate and interviews conducted at Durumi Area One IDPs Camps in Abuja, FCT, the study answered the research questions posed here. Findings show that the plights of the male population of the IDPs ranging from hunger, starvation, water, electricity, accommodation shortages, and lack of sustainable occupation, portend serious human security threats for the country. It proposes policy-relevant actions for the government and other related agencies working with the IDPs; while concluding the role of media in trumpeting the challenges of the male population of the IDPs will mitigate their plights.

    Institutional Framework and the Transition to Green Growth for Sustainable Development in Africa
    (African Journal of Business and Economic Research, 2021-10-04) Akinyemi Opeyemi; Okoli Ikechukwu; Chidozie Felix C.
    This study critically examined the impact of economic and political institutions on Green Growth (GG) transition in Africa based on the premise that weak policies and unfavourable enabling environment can slow down the transition. Using data from 52 countries from 1980 to 2017, the study used a three-panel model combination to estimate the response of the measure of green growth to institutional factors. The results indicate a significant positive relationship between institutions and green growth with the interaction of two institution indicators, showing that economic institutions have to be complemented with strong political institutions. Therefore, a strong institutional framework is necessary for the transition. It is recommended that policymakers in sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries strengthen the reform of political institutions so that they can complement economic institutions in order not to jeopardise ongoing efforts towards driving the transition to green growth for sustainable development.

    Human Factors and Cultism Control in Social Media for Higher Education
    (Handbook of Research on the Role of Human Factors in IT Project Management, 2020) Azeta Ambrose Agbon; Ativie Raymond; Misra Sanjay; Azeta Angela E.; Chidozie Felix C.; Amosu Olufunmilola
    The social media network is one of the trending platforms engaged for communication by students. Regrettably, this system has been used by persons to plan and commit cyber fraud and public vices. Some of the tertiary institutions including secondary and university in Nigeria have been turned to cultist environments resulting in killings and disorder amongst students in the school and environs. This is a situation that has continued to struggle with solutions in most higher institutions in the country, particularly in the government owned institutions. This obviously is a human factor issue that needs to be addressed. The objective of this study is to provide social media-based system that is integrated with anti-cultism component services towards combating cultism on campus. The platform will support interaction and learning on and off campus while at the same time helping to curtail cultism among students through filtering of keywords communicated on social media that are crime-based or cultism-related. In carrying out this study, appropriate research methods and implementation techniques such as modeling, design, server-side programming, database were deployed. The platform provides a dual platform that will enable active students to participate in learning, and also cultism control in the school system.

    Blockchain Framework for Securing E-Learning System
    (International Journal of Advanced Trends in Computer Science and Engineering, 2020-06) Ubaka-Okoye Millicent N.; Azeta Ambrose A.; Oni Aderonke A.; Okagbue Hilary I.; Nicholas-Omoregbe Olanike S; Chidozie Felix C.
    This paper recommends a blockchain framework that secures the e-learning platform. The proposed framework was used to build a widely manageable and safe data delivery facility that will connect to existing educational data. Institutions can simply have amassed their data history without demanding a copy from central servers. The proposed blockchain framework enhances data security and removes trust concerns amongst users or between third-party institutions accessing applications and services. Data distribution can be used with smart contracts to warranty that institutions will continue to be in control of their data entrance, are alert of the source of collected data sources, and are up-to-date when their data is log on by others. Immutable audit logs are generated through data source and contact history to keep institutions informed of the time their data are retrieved. Blockchain has the potential that could provide a system with massive openness, online secure database that e-learning platforms needed. The blockchain can be implemented on different learning platforms based on the information security policies of the institutions.

    Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Organisational Support and Employee Engagement: Case Study Approach
    (Jurnal Akuntansi dan Bisnis: Jurnal Program Studi Akuntansi 8 (1), 2022-05) Olabode Olawale O.; Chidozie Felix C.
    Corporate social responsibility is how committed an organisation is in order to contribute to sustainable economic development by working with all stakeholders to improve quality of life. Today, every society expects a lot from companies to be socially responsible of providing developmental services to the community it operates (i.e., in local palace, ‘giving back to the society’). Many organisations are not practicing it and unwittingly toying with their reputation and probably their bottom line (social, environmental and economic performance). In lieu of this, this study assesses Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), organisational support and employee engagement: Adopting Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), Akure as case study. This study uses primary sources of data through a questionnaire. Twenty-five (25) questionnaire is administered to employees of DPR Akure through a purposive sampling method. However, only 11 questionnaire is correctly filled and returned, which represents 44% response rate, while remaining 14 represents 56%. This low percentage recorded reveals that DPR Akure is an annex of the corporation with few number of employees. Both descriptive statistics (tables, frequencies, percentages) and one-sample ‘t’ test for means statistics are used to analyse the collected data. Recall, n<30. The result, t = 1.51 shows relationship between CSR, organisational support and employee engagement. The paper recommends that organisations should review their CSR policy bi-annually in accordance with best international standard practice on how to promote relationship between stakeholders and to adopt best strategy on how to reduce menace – environmental pollution caused by activities of corporation on immediate employees and society at large.
