Item 206 Test Anxiety as a Factor in Undergraduates’ Academic Performance at the Nigerian Premier University of Education(Journal of Capital Development in Behavioural Sciences, 2014-10) Toyobo, Oluwole MajekodunmiThis study investigates test anxiety as a factor in academic performance. The aim was to determine whether students’ academic performance has any bearing on the level of their test anxiety. Four hundred students were randomly selected from the four colleges in Nigeria’s premier university of education: (1) College of Applied Education & Vocational (2) College of Humanities (3) College of Social Management Studies and (4) College of Applied Sciences. One hundred students were randomly selected from each College. Students’ Test Anxiety Questionnaire (STAQ) was designed and used to collect data. Data was analysed using Pearson Product Moment Correction and t-test. The result of the data analysis showed a high negative correlation between test anxiety and academic performance. Test anxiety experienced levels of male and female students also differ significantly. Regular periodic programmes to reduce test anxiety should be organised by the University Counselling Centre, while parents should help female students prepare better for examinations in order to reduce test anxiety. KeyWords: Test anxiety, academic performance, examinationsItem 32 Trends in the WASSCE Performance of Students in Physics in Oyo State Nigeria (2004 to 2010)(Journal of Capital Development in Behavioural Sciences, 2014-10) Akuche, Ukamaka Evelyn; Okunola, Opeoluwa MotunrayoAs important as Physics is to the technological advancement of a nation, students still perform below standard in the subject. Over the years, researches have been carried out and the process is still on to address the perceived causes of poor performance in Physics. The instrument used for this study was West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) Physics results, 2004 to 2010. The trend of Physics students’ performance for a period of seven (7) years was considered. The findings revealed that the performance of students in Physics is still very low. The trend in performance is not consistent. It is recommended that Colleges and Universities of Education utilize the recommendations proffered in different researches that addressed poor performance in Physics to improve students’ learning outcomes. Keywords: Performance in Physics, Trends, WASSCE ResultItem A Constructive Intervention in Martha Nussbaum and Ingrid Robeyns’ Capabilitarianism and its Implications for Sustainable Development in Nigeria (2012-2022)(International Journal of Contemporary Research in Humanities, 2024) Ayomide AJIBOYE, PhD; Ronald Olufemi BADRU, PhD; Peter Ayoola ODERINDE, PhDCapability Approach is one of the topics examined in development studies; it emphasises the understanding that human welfare and access to unlimited opportunities is important to economic success and this can in turn help to create sustainable development. Creating sustainable development is of significance to addressing the social, economic, and environmental challenges faced in Nigeria. However, there has been a major problem in Nigeria militating against the achievement of sustainable development goals in line with the Vision 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study seeks to carry out a constructive intervention in Martha Nussbaum’s and Ingrid Robeyns’ Capabilitarianism to solve the problem of sustainable development in Nigeria. It employs a qualitative research design using the method of secondary data collection to analyse the data. To achieve sustainable development in Nigeria, especially the SDGs, there is a need for constructive intervention using the capability frameworks of Martha Nussbaum and Ingrid Robeyns to advance social justice, equity, improve quality of lives and guarantee a more sustainable future.

Nigeria, the most populous African state with a burgeoning digital landscape, has witnessed a transformation in its governance dynamics owing to the pervasive influence of social media platforms. Social media has emerged as a potent tool for citizen engagement, political mobilization, and information dissemination in Nigeria. It has enabled citizens to voice their opinions, hold leaders accountable, and participate in democratic processes more actively than ever before. However, the impact of social media on governance in Nigeria is not without challenges. The dissemination of misinformation, hate speech, and fake news poses significant threats to political stability and social cohesion. The unchecked spread of rumours and inflammatory content on social media platforms has fueled ethnic tensions, religious conflicts, and political polarization in the country. Thus, the paper explores the pros and cons of social media on governance in Nigeria and investigate the nexus between governance and social media in Nigeria with the aid of Technological Determinism as a theoretical framework. Adopting a qualitative approach with the use of secondary data sources such as academic journals, government reports, and media reports, the study critically analyse the impact of social media on governance in Nigeria. The study finds that social media has democratized access to information in Nigeria. The study recommends the implementation of specific laws and regulations that govern social media usage to ensure accountability and responsible behaviour online. Meanwhile, on the part of the Nigerian authorities, the study recommends collaborating with social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to develop and enforce community guidelines that can help mitigate the spread of harmful content.Item A Historical Background of Proliferation of Churches in Nigeria(International Journal of Contemporary Research in Humanities, 2024) Yaro Moses SHOK; Solomon KYOM, PhD; Bitrus Irimiya ABBASThe paper discusses the historical background of proliferation of churches in Nigeria. The study is informed by the alarming rate at which churches are springing up in Nigeria. The paper aims at tracing back to the root of church proliferation. The research utilizes a multidisciplinary approach, drawing on historical data, and adopts the primary and secondary sources, including religious texts, theological treatises, scholarly articles, and archival records. The records are examined to reconstruct the historical trajectory of the proliferation of churches in Nigeria. The study reveals that the history of church proliferation in Nigeria is divided into five periods which are: the period of introducing Latin Christianity in the 15th and 16th Centuries; the period of denominationalism and missionary activities in the 19th Century from 1842 onward; the period of evolution of independent Churches; the period of indigenous African churches; and the period of the birth of Charismatic and Pentecostal churches. Amongst others, it is established in this paper that the proliferation of churches in Nigeria is caused by selfish motive for financial prosperity, doctrinal disagreements and the quest for position and power. The work recommends that, instead of establishing more churches in the nation without tangible impact on the morality of members, pastors and church leaders should focus on preaching the gospel of Christ for the purpose of building the moral and spiritual lives of her members. More so, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) should wake up to their responsibilities of controlling, regulating and punishing churches that contravene the set goals to the association. The study concludes that, although church proliferation has its positive impacts, the negative effects brought about by the proliferation of churches are overriding the good side of it which is reflecting in the current situation in the country where corruption and moral decadence are the order of the day.

Its recent surge globally, including in Nigeria, has profoundly impacted various facets of society, such as economies, governments, and civil societies. This transformation, characterized by its speed and profound consequences, necessitates a comprehensive understanding and intentional, inclusive design to ensure equitable participation. This transformation is crucial for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs). In Nigeria, digital transformation can reduce emissions through energy efficiency, the adoption low-emission technologies, and the creation of new market opportunities. However, it raises sustainability concerns such as the use of rare material, inequalities in technology access, and employment opportunities. It intersects with global environmental challenges like climate change, waste management and environmental pollution. The aim of this study is to review issues and challenges hindering digital transformation in achieving multiple SDGs, focusing on Nigeria. This study made use of secondary data and adopted content analysis by reviewing existing literature to ascertain the interaction between digital transformation and sustainable development. Findings highlight digital technology's transformative potential in economies, governance, and the environment, aiding emission reduction and creating market opportunities. The study recommends strategic digital frameworks prioritizing inclusivity and sustainability to reshape Nigeria's approach to achieving the UNSDGs.Item A Review of the Role of Social Media in Nigerian Youth Participation in Elections(International Journal of Contemporary Research in Humanities (, 2024) A. M. IDIALU; J. G. AKPOKOThe youth’s seeming apathy towards politics has continued to resonate among researchers, policy makers and other stakeholders. However, the emergence of social media has opened up new frontiers for citizens, especially the youths who are known to be the most populous social media natives. The main purpose of this study is to explore how social media serves as a tool for political sensitisation, mobilisation and influence on participation of Nigerian youths in the electoral process. The study relied on desk review of existing secondary data to establish youths’ utilization of social media and participation in the electoral process. It presents perspectives on media, social media, youths, youth participation, challenges of social media usage in the electoral processes and recommendations. The study is also hinged on technological determinism theory. Findings of study reveal that, with the right enablement, the Nigerian youth will be actively involved in the political process. It also reveals that lack of professionalism, fake news and hate speeches are some challenges of social media usage for political activities and recommends that laws to punish erring users of social media be considered seriously when promoting the use of social media among the youths. Keywords: Youth, Nigerian, Social Media, Participation and Electoral ProcessItem Academic Library Support in a Blended Learning Environment: The Place of Embedded Librarianship(2022-02-10) Oladokun, Taofeek Abiodun; Bakare-Fatugase, Oluwabunmi Dorcas; Jatto, Victor OmeizaTechnology advancement has led to significant paradigm changes in education. The tradition face-to-face learning is now being supplemented, or in some case, replaced by virtual learning leveraging on modern information technology tools. This practice of mixing traditional and technology in teaching and learning is referred to as blended learning. Academic libraries as designated support institutions for academic activities are also expected to come up with strategies to ensure that both teachers and learners have the necessary support to effectively carry out their teaching, learning and research activities as usual. One of the strategies that have been suggested by scholars is embedded librarianship. This paper explores the strategies that can be adopted by librarians in Nigerian academic libraries to ensure that relevant library information resources and services to both students and lecturers, are embedded into the evolving learning environment for both lecturers and students in tertiary institutions.Item Achieving Sustainable Development Goals through Effective Flood Management in Nigeria: Lessons from the Netherlands(International Journal of Contemporary Research in Humanities, 2024) Oluwabusayo Olayinka OLUSOLA-ILORIIt is a known fact that, from time immemorial, flood has been ravaging many communities across the globe, and Nigeria is no exception. Flooding comes with many devastating effects and could negatively affect the laudable sustainable development goals (SDGs). The paper was an attempt to find lasting solution to the challenge of perennial flooding in Nigeria. The paper examined some of the causes, the consequences and reviewed some of the government interventions on flooding in Nigeria. There was a comparative review of several articles on flood management in Nigeria and the Netherlands. Three findings were deduced from the materials reviewed on flood management in Netherlands Spatial Planning; Flood Defenses Mechanism; and Flood Forecasts, Alerts and Evacuation. These findings and implications were discussed within the purview of general systems theory (GST) towards effective flood management in Nigeria. And the following were recommended: government agencies should carry out the sensitisation and enforcement of policies for people to desist from blocking waterways and buildings on flood plains; proactivity and investment in flood mitigation methods such as dam building, dredging rivers, clearing of drainages and natural canals; and finally, relevant flood prevention agencies should be well funded and monitored to avoid mismanagement.

FaniranTerrorist attacks in Nigeria were formerly almost exclusively carried out by two separate and distinct militant groups: the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) and the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB). Another militant group, Boko Haram, an Islamist sect, has now emerged and is at the moment carrying out deadly attacks on Nigerians, on foreign nationals and on public agencies and institutions like the police, the army, and public and private schools. While the Federal Government has to a large extent successfully used force to curtail the violent activities of MEND and MASSOB, its employment of that strategy in dealing with the Boko Haram sect has largely failed. This position paper briefly discusses the history of terrorism in Nigeria, the advent of Boko Haram, its meaning and origins, its terrorist attacks and their impacts, and the various ways and strategies being suggested to bring the Islamist sect’s insurgency to an end. Finally, the paper contends that, in addition to the various suggested strategies, writers too have a role in ending this dreaded sect’s murderous activities. keywords: attacks, terrorism, militant, movement, emancipation.Item Administrative Communication and Employee Engagement(LCU, 2025-04) Gabriel Oladotun OLATOYE; Moyosore O. BECKLEY; Anthony Apeh AMEDUIn contemporary organisations, administrative communication is a vital component of managerial effectiveness, organisational cohesion, and employee performance. It encompasses the structured transmission of information within an organisation, including top-down directives, bottom-up feedback, and lateral exchanges across departments. Simultaneously, employee engagement, defined as the psychological and emotional commitment employees have to their work and organisation, has gained prominence as a key determinant of productivity, innovation, and retention. This paper examines the interplay between administrative communication and employee engagement, exploring how communication strategies impact organisational outcomes. Effective administrative communication promotes transparency, aligns individual and organisational goals, and fosters a culture of trust and collaboration. When employees are well- informed, encouraged to provide input, and feel that their contributions are valued, they are more likely to be engaged. Transparent and consistent communication helps reduce ambiguity, while feedback loops and inclusive dialogue enhance a sense of ownership and participation. The paper also discusses common challenges, such as information overload, inconsistent messaging, and resistance to upward feedback, which can hinder employee engagement. Through case studies of organisations like Google and Zappos, the paper illustrates best practices in leveraging communication to build an engaged workforce. Finally, it presents strategic recommendations for improving communication systems, including leadership visibility, manager training, and performance measurement. In conclusion, administrative communication is not merely operational; it is a strategic function that directly influences employee engagement and, by extension, organisational success.Item Advancement of the potentials of Codices Video Game for Senior Secondary School Mathematics learning in Kwara State(Journal of Capital Development in Behavioural Sciences Vol. 13 Issue 1 (March, 2025), 2025-03) Anthony Taiwo OGUNDELE; Medinat Folorunsho SALMAN; Jacob Gbemiga AROWOLOTeachers’inability to incorporate variety of instructional schemes has been reported in studies as major factors for the disappointing performance of students in Mathematics or science. This paper examined the development and usage of Codice Video Games (CVG) to teach and enhancestudents cognitive learning processes in Mathematics. The prospect of CVG to support learning and several researchers’ efforts to assist learnersto overcome challenges related to mathematics were explored. A quasi-experimental-control group design was adopted. Four purposively selected senior secondary schools from the population with intact classes consisting of 50 SS II students were assigned to experimental and 60 others to control groups respectively in Irepodun local government area of Kwara State. The development and efficacy of a CVG on probability was conducted. A CVG rating scale whose reliability coefficient was determined through Kendall’s concordance that yielded 0.76 index was used for data collection. Data obtained from the test scores of students were analysed, which revealed that students taught with CVG had higher mean gain score than those taught with the conventional method in Probability, the interaction effect of CVG on gender favoured female than male students, CVG usage was loaded with potentials more effective for students’ probability learning. Therefore, it was suggested that considerable attention should be given to the use of CVG in learning Mathematical concepts, and learner characteristics in Mathematics.Item Advocacy of 4IR Agenda in Selected Feature Films: An Analysis of Aneesh Chaganty’s Searching and Nicholas D. Johnson & Will Merick’s Missing(The International Journal of Contemporary Research in Humanities (INJOCORH), 2023) Monsuru Oladotun OLAJIDE; Samson O. EBE; Adebayo J. BADEJIA film contains images that are projected on the screen to generate chimera of movements. It is a visual story-telling type of entertainment which can also serve as a tool of edification. Film is also used to probe vital social issues. It is deployed to make the audience take note of a development, learn about a new culture, and experience dissimilar perspectives on a given subject matter. Genre of films include; historical, science-fiction, comedy, drama, thriller, drama, adventure, crime, gangster, horror, western and musical. The genus of film that brings controversial discourse to the consciousness of its audience is referred to as advocacy film. Advocacy film also allows its audience to examine issues from different perspectives. Existing studies on films with advocacy are mostly documentary films. However, scant attention has been paid to advocacy feature-length films. Guided by Emerson Kim’s Media Advocacy Theory, this study investigates how the Fourth Industrial Revolution agenda were established in Aneesh Chaganty’s film; Searching and Nicholas D. Johnson & Will Merick’s film; Missing. The study concludes that film is not entertainment only; it could also serve as a means to display/situate social, political, cultural, economic and technological discourses in the age of industry 4.0. Keywords: Film, Genre, Advocacy Film, Fourth Industrial RevolutionItem An Examination of the Use of Special Effects Make-Up in the Nigerian Film Industry (Nollywood)(The International Journal of Contemporary Research in Humanities (INJOCORH), 2023) Toluwalope Mofoluwaso, AJAYIMake-up is one important aspect of theatre that helps to build the director’s conceptualization. It involves the use of cosmetics and other materials to help transform an actor into the character he or she is meant to play. Simply put, it interprets the role of a character alongside costume. Special Effects Make-up is one of the four types of theatre make-up. This aspect is one which requires special training and skillfulness. Make-up is taught alongside costume design but does not receive much attention in schools. As a result, students who choose to be make-up artists do not have adequate information and experience in the field. Some of the problems faced by special effects make-up artists include short time-frame, unavailability of materials, poor lighting and environmental factors. This research work is limited to the analytical breakdown of the six selected films, drawing out the special effects make-up deployed in them, although references will be made to other films when and where necessary. This study serves as a resource text for researchers and scholars interested in Nollywood, especially in the area of makeup. It also hopes to fill the lapse in the application and development of special effects make-up in Nollywood. This research employs the qualitative method of research using analysis of related literature such as text books, journals, online materials, articles, and six selected films were consulted to obtain relevant information. The films are Maami, October 1, Figurine, Igodo, Koto Orun, and The Meeting. They were all monitored on DVDs. The Symbolism theory will be used to define the viewpoint of this study. Findings made during this research include lack of skill and professional training, unavailability of materials, blending, environmental factors, short time-frame and insufficient academic training. Keywords: Make-up, Nollywood, Special Efects, SymbolismItem Analysis of Development Prospect and Security Crisis in Nigeria(LCU, 2023-06) AKINDOYIN, Dare IsaacElucidating development and security crisis in Sub-Sahara Africa with a bird eye view on Nigeria has been an issue worthy of consideration. This result from conflicts, insurgencies, and internal wars that characterise Nigeria as well as Post-Colonial African States. The study investigate development prospect and security crisis in Nigeria. The research paper affirms that the prevailing security challenges confronting the Nigerian state are structurally entrenched and deeply rooted in development crises. This vacuum has led to societal maladies such as economic disparities, ethno-religious divides, inequality, unemployment, poverty, and marginalisation, to mention a few thus, transcending into a national security problem, which now seems to threaten the unity of the State. Adopting the methodology of qualitative approach with the use of secondary data and content analysis, the research adopts the Political Instability Theory in analysing development prospect and security crises in Nigeria. The study finds that institutional corruption, economic disparities, ethno-religious divide are some of the factors enhancing development and security crises in Nigeria. The study concludes that the problems of development and security crises will persist in Nigeria so far security problems are treated differently from developmental challenges. The research paper recommends the tackling the problem of unemployment in Nigeria, collaboration with the international community as a means of litigating development problems and security crises in the Nigerian state.Item Apologia as a Crisis Communication Strategy: A Case Study of IBEDC'S Public Engagements(LCU, 2025-04) Atinuke Ibironke FANIMOKUN; Alade MOYOSOREThis study investigates how corporate organisations, particularly the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC), utilize apologia strategies to manage public perception. Guided by Benoit’s Image Repair Theory and Situational Crisis Communication Theory (SCCT), the research aimed to examine the nature, implementation, and effectiveness of apologia strategies in restoring trust and maintaining corporate reputation. A mixed-method research design was employed, comprising qualitative in-depth interviews with five IBEDC communication personnel and quantitative content analysis of 41 apologia press statements and interviews from various corporate entities in Nigeria and other countries. Data collection instruments included an interview guide for qualitative responses and coding sheets for content analysis. NVivo 12 was used for thematic analysis of interview data, while descriptive statistics (frequency and percentage) was used for the content analysis. The study found that IBEDC predominantly employed bolstering, corrective action, differentiation, and mortification as its core apologia strategies, this is partially in line with the result of the content analysis; of the 44 corporate statements analysed, 27.3% used corrective action, 18.2% used denial and evasion of responsibility, and 13.6% used mortification. All the participants emphasised timeliness, message clarity, and channel diversity (radio, SMS, social media) as key to effective crisis response. The study concludes that strategic, ethical, and multi-channel communication paired with actionable follow-through is central to successful corporate crisis management. It is then recommended that IBEDC... and similar organisations should continue to utilise a combination of traditional media (radio, SMS) and digital platforms (social media) toensure inclusive and timely communication with diverse audiences during crises, while, a commitment to fixing issues and regular progress updates is critical to sustaining public trust.Item Artificial Intelligence and Christianity: Navigating Ethical Challenges and Opportunities in the Techno-Scientific Era in Nigeria(International Journal of Contemporary Research in Humanities, 2024) Samson Obaloluwa OJOWith the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) in this techno-scientific era, there are growing concerns among scholars and religious practitioners regarding its effects on religion and society. This paper explores the complex interplay between AI and Christianity, investigating whether AI fosters harmony or discord within religious practices and beliefs. The study addresses ethical concerns and challenges posed by AI, specifically its potential to either enhance or challenge traditional religious doctrines. Using a qualitative methodology, the paper examines historical perspectives on religion and technology, alongside case studies of the intersection of AI with religious practices. The findings reveal a nuanced relationship between AI and religion, with both positive and negative impacts. While AI offers opportunities to enhance religious experiences, it raises ethical dilemmas and challenges established theological frameworks. The paper concludes by recommending that religious institutions should embrace technological advancements cautiously, balancing innovation with the preservation of core values. Furthermore, interdisciplinary research and educational initiatives should be encouraged to foster a more ethical approach to the development and deployment of AI. Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Religion, Society, Techno-Scientific Era, EthicsItem Assessment of Industrial Revolution on Building Production Management(The International Journal of Contemporary Research in Humanities (INJOCORH), 2023) Ayodele Christianah AJAO; John Adekunle AREMU; Sherifat Omowumi SIYANBOLA; Kabiru Okegere TIJANIIndustrial Revolution (IR) has caused tremendous changes in technology which have greatly affected the construction industry and her products. With the current changes in technology, the mode of operation of construction industry has been changed. The efforts put in place in meeting the demand for the products of construction industry particularly building has revealed the extent at which the construction of building has adapted to technological changes brought about by industrial revolution. All the construction processes of building are no longer with stress, but at ease with the use of machines and other means of intelligent networking and the use of managerial policy in order to improve the quality of the building. This paper aims at assessing the evolution of industrial revolution, its impact on building production management and challenges confronting the evolution. The paper adopted literature review and finds that, though, introduction of industrial related technology in management of building production harnesses effective use of resources and improved the quality of building produced in terms of cost, time and workmanship, there are some challenges slowing down the full processes in building production. The paper concludes that all construction stakeholders should implement industrial revolution techniques, system and application so as to drive production system of the industry to match with the other industries by improving education and training so as to meet up with the demand of modern technologies. Keywords: Industrial Revolution, Construction, Building, Production, ManagementItem Assessment of Public Relations Strategies in Crisis Management During the 2020 #ENDSARS Protest and “Lekki Shooting” in Lagos, Nigeria(LCU, 2024-04-02) Taye BABALEYE, PhDPublic relations strategies are sacrosanct to crisis management. Governments often use public relations strategies to maintain peace in the society. The study assessed the perception of students of tertiary institutions in Lagos on the State Government's public relations strategies in managing the Lekki Shooting during the #ENDSARS protests in October 2020. Data were gathered using quantitative and qualitative research methods. Research instrument was administered on 353 students of four universities, while four key informants from the public sector were interviewed. Findings show that the public relations strategies deployed by Lagos State Government were Community Relations (Mean = 2.44), Media Relations (Mean = 2.43), Corporate Social Responsibility (Mean = 2.28) and Government Relations (Mean = 2.27) and they were found to be effective. However, Community Relations and Media Relations strategies were most effective. The study reveals that the strategic public relations efforts of State Government Journal of Communication and Media Technology Vol 6(1&2) 2 underestimated the power of digital media in stoking the embers of violence. Thus, there was loophole in the strategies adopted. The study therefore recommended that the Lagos State Government should integrate digital media in its public relations strategies and intensify its strategic community relations to build goodwill among the youths to forestall further crisis in future. The study also recommended that government should draw on the goodwill of the people to prevent future breakdown of law and order.Item Assessment of Radio Jingles (OGBC FM 90.5) in Eradicating Malaria in Abeokuta North Local Government Area of Ogun State(LCU, 2024-04) ABIOYE Adegboyega Lukman; Omolara Oluwatoyin IDEHENREThere is a belief that media has the overreaching power to influence the perception and behavior of the public by sharing health-related information from various platforms which can ultimately impact the success of health and sustainability initiatives. Hence, this study assessed radio jingles (OGBC FM 90.5) in eradicating Malaria in Abeokuta North Local Government Area of Ogun State. The study's general objective was to measure the perception of Abeokuta North residents on the role of OGBC FM in disseminating information about malaria prevention and control and to assess ways through which OGBC Jingles has shaped Abeokuta North residents' knowledge, attitude, and practice to malaria prevention and treatment. The study adopted the Social Responsibility Theory and employed a survey research design. The study population comprised residents of Abeokuta North Local Government Area whose estimated population in the year 2022 was 338,100 (NPC, NBS, 2022). Stratified and simple random sampling techniques were used to select respondents across the 16 wards of the Local Government Area. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze data using SPSS. Findings revealed that positive and favourable perception of the role of OGBC in disseminating information about malaria prevention and control as agreed by the majority 79%. It was discovered that the jingles have also Journal of Communication and Media Technology Vol 6(1&2) 100 helped to dispel myths and misconceptions about malaria and its treatment as acknowledged by the majority 69%. The result also showed that the jingles have encouraged the majority 85% of people to adopt preventive measures such as sleeping under insecticide-treated nets and keeping the environment clean, which has led to a reduction in the incidence of malaria in the area. Findings also revealed the effectiveness of OGBC jingles on in majority 75% malaria prevention and control that changed behaviour since they were exposed to it. The study concluded that the employment of radio jingles, fliers, and posters has been a part of community awareness campaigns on malaria management and eradication. It is crucial to carry out these initiatives and look into fresh approaches to combat malaria in the area.
