Investigating the Activities of Economic Financial Crime Commission in Nigeria (2010-2019)
(Lead City University, 2022-12-01) Ayoade OJETUNDE
iv Abstract Corruption remains a pervasive problem in Nigeria, undermining public trust, serving as an obstacle to economic development, and eroding the social fabric of the nation. The whistleblower policy, implemented to encourage citizens to report corrupt practices, is a central anti-corruption strategy being used by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) in Nigeria. This study delves into the issues plaguing its implementation, including the fear of reprisals, inadequate protection for whistleblowers, and systemic barriers to reporting. Moreover, the research identifies a significant knowledge gap in the understanding of how the whistleblower policy operates in practice, as well as its overall impact on curbing corruption in Nigeria. In terms of methodology, the study used secondary sources of data collection such as newspaper editorials, journals articles, industry reports and existing information collected by other researchers. The findings of the study reveal that the pervasive nature of corruption across various sectors, hindering the nation's progress and tarnishing its reputation. Despite the implementation of a whistleblowing policy, fear of retaliation and lack of trust in authorities deterred potential informants. The study conclude that the current legal framework and enforcement mechanisms exhibited weaknesses that allowed corrupt practices to persist. The study recommend that the federal government should establish dedicated channels for reporting, ensuring that the identity of informants remains confidential throughout the investigation process.

(Lead City University Ibadan, 2023) Olaoye, Gabriel Ogunyemi; Onamade, Akintunde Olaniyi; Chukwuka Obianuju Patience; Adeola, Ademola
The field of architecture plays a pivotal role in shaping the physical environment and tackling the challenges posed by natural disasters and unsustainable practices. However, conventional architectural training programs often lack comprehensive education on disaster mitigation and sustainable reconstruction. This research paper aims to delve into the pressing need to integrate disaster mitigation and sustainable reconstruction into Nigeria's architectural training curriculum. By scrutinizing the existing gaps in architectural education, exploring the advantages of merging these disciplines, and proposing pivotal strategies for curriculum transformation, this study seeks to contribute to the advancement of architectural education. The findings of this research project will provide guidance to educators, professionals, and policymakers in their endeavours to develop a more holistic and responsive architectural training curriculum.

Change in Value System: Undermining Academic Integrity and Innovative Research
(Lead City University Ibadan, 2023) Lawrence AKANDE
Innovative research is an extension of quality education through academic integrity, and academic integrity is a product of societal value systems. In this study, academic integrity is examined, as it relates to global society. The value system of society is the key factor in building academic integrity, which will, in the long run, affect the quality of education for sustainable development. The question is, to what extent society affects academic integrity? This study applies the Virtue Theory of Ethics in a qualitative methodology of an evaluation research design, using a thematic analysis instrument to answer the question. In any society, certain things are compromised once the value system changes. To imbibe the culture of academic integrity, societal values must promote a system for such to thrive. If not, everyone wants things for the wrong reasons. This leads to a dearth of ability to perform, even innovative research. Then, all the values of academic integrity become scarce commodities, and it becomes difficult to cope with the required values of honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility, and courage whether as students, teachers, researchers, workers, or leaders; this affects the quality of education for innovative research and sustainable development. To imbibe the culture of academic integrity in everyone, societal values must change from just having a certificate to having the ability to perform duties innovatively as demanded by whatever the work requires

(Lead City University Ibadan, 2023) Adebimpe Rukayat OLALERE; Solomon Adekunle ADEYANJU; Olawale Oluwaseun OLADAPO
Swimming performance is a diverse activity combining energy, kinetic, motor control, anthropometrics, and swimming strength. The use of dry land training for swimmers has received little to no attention in several Nigerian researches. Therefore, this study interest was to examine the effects of a 6-week dry-land resistance training on swimming endurance of swimmers in Lead City International School Ibadan. Pretest-posttest control group experimental research design using matched participants with a 2x2 factorial matrix was adopted for this study. Fifty-two swimmers were selected to take part in the study. The participants were assigned into control group (26) and experimental group (26). Experimental group were made to go through six weeks dry-land resistance training Programme, while the control group were made to undergo 20 minutes of benefits of exercise lesson for six weeks. Data was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics of Analysis of Co-variance (ANCOVA). The result revealed that there was a significant main effect of treatment on 2 swimming endurance(F =102.087, p<0.05, ç =0.676) of swimmers. Also, there was no significant (1,49) 2 main effect of sex on swimming endurance(F =0.718, p>0.05, ç =0.401). Furthermore, there was no (1,49) significant interaction effect of treatment by sex on swimming Endurance(F =5.524, p<0.05, (1,47) 2 ç =0.023). It was concluded that resistance training on dry-land improved swimmers' swimming abilities. Therefore, it was suggested that coaches be taught on the advantages of adopting dry-land training to enhance swimming performance. Also, dry-land resistance training should be used by swimming instructor so as to reduce swimming injuries.
