Item 21st Century Public Administration Competencies and the Quest for Sustainable Local Government Administration in Ekiti State, Nigeria (2010-2020)(Lead City University, 2022-12) Rufus Adedire ALADEYELULocal government administration as the third tier of governance implies that a lot is expected from it, if it is to attain development. However, adequate attention has not been given to investigate sustainable Local Government Administration in Nigeria, hence this study analysed sustainable Local Government Administration in Nigeria in the face of 21st Century skills and competencies in selected Local Government Councils in Ekiti State, Nigeria. The study used descriptive research design with the population of 858 respondents. The study used multistage sampling technique. Structured questionnaires were utilized for data collection. Data generated were analysed using descriptive statistics such as percentage, frequency and histogram. The study revealed fostering ethical behavior through staff training on administrative ethics and the local government code of ethics on personal and professional integrity (50.2%). The study also revealed advocating for diverse viewpoints to be considered, finding it out when missing at the extent of community engagement to support good decision making (50.2%). The result showed being aware of and acknowledging culturally significant events for employees and community members at the extent of equity and inclusion (44.2%). Furthermore, the results revealed that creating a positive atmosphere where interactions are based in respect and professionalism of staff effectiveness (50.1%). The study also showed that identifying areas where each employee would like to gain knowledge or skills and developing a plan to acquire those skills and knowledge at the extent of personal resiliency and development (52.2%). The study concluded that there was an established nexus between public administration competencies and sustainable local government administration in selected local government councils of Ekiti State. The study suggests future research on the roles of public officers on sustainable local government administration.

During the last decade increased performance and reduced cost has made them more accessible to larger consumer groups. The price point is still however high, where popular scanners are in the price range of 300,000 NGN-500,000 NGN. The objective of this thesis is to investigate the current 3D scanners in the market, considering both time-of-flight and triangulation in terms of accuracy and limitations and compare there results to build a more cost effective model of the 3D scanner at the end of the thesis. For validation purposes the constructed 3d scanner will be put through tests to measure its accuracy and ability to create realistic representations of its environment. The constructed model produced significantly less accurate results and scanning time was much longer compared to a popular competitor. This was mainly due to the cheaper camera sensor used for the model and not the mechanical construction itself. There are however many applications where higher accuracy is not essential and with some modifications, a low cost solution could have many potential use cases, especially since it only costs 1% of the compared product.

Some recent advances in machine learning made it possible to predict ASD using behavioural, demographic, and medical data, but the choice of optimal algorithms and feature selection techniques remains an open research question. This study used the ASD for children dataset obtained from the University of California, Irvine repository to investigate the performance of the selected machine learning models through a comparative analysis. Eight nonparametric models were compared in total, with four models SVM, KNN, GNB, and MLP being base learners, and the other four ensemble methods RF, XGBoost, Bootstrap Aggregating (Bagging), and Stacking. Hyperparameters of the models were autotuned, and GridSearchCV was employed to choose the model with the best combination of parameters. All base models performed brilliantly, with SVM being the best and most precise in this experiment with a result of 1, amongst all classifiers even before hyperparameter tuning. After hyperparameter tuning, SVM and MLP ranked highest with all metrics returning scores of 100%. KNN returned 96.2% accuracy and recall and GNB trailed at 95.26% for both metrics for the ensemble methods, XGB and Bagging with SVM performed best at 100% for all metrics. RF produced an accuracy and recall of 98.1% while Bagging with KNN and GNB had both metrics at 95.2%. The classification performance of Bagging with MLP and the stacking classifier were equivalent across all metrics though, producing accuracy and recall of 99.5%. Based on the findings, it is recommended that thorough feature selection should be conducted to eliminate features that could lead to overfitting, such as "Q_Chat_10" in this study cross-validation technique was used to assess the generalizability of models to unseen data.

This thesis was carried out through a qualitative research, materials were sourced from both primary and secondary source which include statutory laws, customary laws, books, journal articles and the internet. This thesis examined the laws of succession in Nigeria and the United Kingdom and carried out a comparative analysis and despite the seeming similarities of the laws of succession between the two countries, the laws differ from one another and have distinctive features in terms of uniformity, codification and the rights of testators, spouses, family and dependants. This thesis offer ways on how the estate of a deceased can be properly administered and distributed hindering meddlesome interlopers claiming rights that are not theirs in the first place which is common under the customary law of inheritance. This thesis has carried out a comparative analysis between the laws of succession in Nigeria and the United Kingdom stating similarities and differences and provided solutions to the challenges Keyword: Comparative Analysis, the Laws, Succession in Nigeria, United KingdomItem A Constructive Intervention in Martha Nussbaum’s and Ingrid Robeyns’ Capabilitarianism and its Implications for Sustainable Development in Nigeria (2012-2022)(Lead City University, Ibadan, 2023-12) Ayomide Opeyemi AJIBOYECapability Approach is one of the topics examined in development studies, it emphasizes the understanding that human welfare and giving human beings the opportunity to live a dignified life that is free of limitations is equally important to economic success which can in turn, help to create sustainable development. Creating Sustainable Development is of significant importance as it helps to address the social, economic and environmental challenges faced in Nigeria. However, there has been a major problem in Nigeria towards achieving sustainable development in Nigeria in line with the vision 2030 17 Sustainable Development Goals. This study seeks to do a constructive intervention in Martha Nussbaum’s and Ingrid Robeyns’ Capabilitarianism vis-à- vis solving the problem of sustainable development in Nigeria. It employs a qualitative research design using the method of secondary data collection in order to systematically analyze the data before relevant conclusions are drawn. In achieving sustainable development in Nigeria, especially the SDGs 1, 3, and 5, there is a need for constructive intervention using the capability frameworks of Martha Nussbaum and Ingrid Robeyns. This is done by harnessing the strength of both approaches and doing away with the weaknesses in order to promote human well-being and achieve the sustainable development goals, some of which includes emphasizing the central human capabilities needed to achieve a dignified life, advancing equality and social justice and more through several constructive interventions needed to improve their lives and guarantee a future that is richer and more sustainable. The belief is that society is ultimately human-driven. Thus, if the SDGS 1, 3 and 5 are theoretically pursued and practices, then the developed Nigerians, in turn, fundamentally work towards the institutional development of the Nigerian State.

Word Count: 294Item A Contemporary Perspective to Maternity Leave Regulation: Comparison of Laws in Nigeria, The United Kingdom and Canada(Lead City University, Ibadan, 2025-12) Abiade Olawanle ABIOLAMaternity leave regulations are crucial for protecting the rights of working women during pregnancy and childbirth, ensuring their well-being and that of their new-borns. It is a critical aspect of labour law that ensures the protection of women's rights and promotes gender equality in the workplace. This study explores maternity leave regulation from a contemporary comparative perspective, focusing on Nigeria, the United Kingdom, and Canada. It seeks to analyze the legal and institutional frameworks governing maternity leave in these jurisdictions, assess their effectiveness in promoting gender equity and work-life balance, and identify lessons that can be drawn to inform policy reform. The thesis is grounded in Human Capital Theory and Institutional Theory. Human Capital Theory provides a lens through which the economic implications of maternity leave are understood, particularly how investments in women's health and family life translate into long-term workforce productivity and societal benefit. Institutional Theory, on the other hand, guides the analysis of how social norms, legal structures, and organizational behaviour shape maternity leave policies and their implementation within different national contexts. The interplay of these theories allows for a nuanced understanding of both the economic rationale and institutional constraints that influence maternity leave regulation. The research adopts a qualitative comparative legal methodology. It involves doctrinal analysis of statutes, regulations, and policy instruments, as well as secondary data from government reports, academic literature, international labour conventions, and case law. A cross-country comparative approach is employed to identify key similarities and divergences among the three countries regarding leave duration, eligibility, job protection, and the role of public versus private sector enforcement. Findings indicate that while the United Kingdom and Canada have made progress in providing comprehensive and inclusive maternity leave policies—characterized by relatively long leave periods, wage replacement, and strong legal protections—Nigeria’s framework remains underdeveloped, with limited coverage, shorter leave duration, and weak enforcement mechanisms. In both the UK and Canada, institutional support systems such as employment insurance and government subsidies, play a central role in sustaining maternity leave, whereas Nigeria's regulatory environment lacks such robust institutional backing. The study concludes that Nigeria’s maternity leave regime is inadequate for achieving gender parity and supporting maternal and child health. It recommends legal reform that expands the duration and inclusivity of maternity leave, incorporates parental leave provisions, and strengthens institutional accountability. The thesis underscores the importance of aligning legal norms with economic development goals and evolving social expectations regarding gender roles and family responsibilities.

Specifically, the study critiqued the impact of the United Nations Security Council in maintaining international peace globally and assisting the navigation of difficult path from conflict to peace, the impact of the United Nations Security Council cooperation on social, economic and cultural developments of member nations and ultimate influence on global peace, dimensions of the asymmetric relationship between the permanent members and non-permanent members of the United Nations Security Council in attaining global peace and the activities of United Nations Security Council and how it affects the development of friendly relations among nations on principles of equal rights and self determination to achieve global peace under international law, were all examined by the study. Participants of the study were made up of five (5) respondents from each of the five permanent member countries, this gives a total of Twenty (20) respondents. Descriptive research design which allowed for analysis of content was used in this research work because data were gathered through interviews and this was intended to better understand the subject matter and provide valid data. From the research findings, the respondents revealed that the United Nations Security Council has succeeded in maintaining world peace to a greater extent. The result revealed the extent to which the United Nations security council has maintained international peace in assisting the navigation of the difficult path from conflict to peace. Finally, the study recommends that United Nations Security Council’s roles are to prevent nuclear proliferation, clear landmines, and promote disarmament and also that the United Nations Security Council maintains peace and security by constituting peacekeeping and special political missions.

This study introduces a novel solution that combines Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) and Facial Recognition technologies to create a robust attendance management system. By leveraging the capabilities of both hardware and software components, this system offers a seamless and accurate approach to recording and managing attendance data. The hardware component of the system utilizes Arduino microcontrollers and RFID modules to provide individual identification through RFID cards or tags. Each user is assigned a unique RFID card that triggers the RFID module to record the attendance information. Simultaneously, the system captures facial images using a camera module for facial recognition. A Python program processes the data using Open CV, associating it with the respective user's profile and initiates the facial recognition process. The facial recognition system identifies users by comparing the captured facial features with the pre-stored templates in the database. The system offers several advantages, including high accuracy in attendance recording, enhanced security, and rapid processing of data. Moreover, the combined approach reduces the time spent on proxy attendance, ensuring the integrity of attendance records, and creating options for attendance. The system also provides real-time attendance tracking and generates comprehensive reports for administrative purposes. This research presents a step- by-step implementation guide for setting up the RFID and Facial Recognition Attendance System using Arduino and Python, making it accessible for educational institutions, businesses, and organizations looking to streamline attendance management. The system's effectiveness is demonstrated through extensive testing, highlighting its reliability and robustness. The system represents a cutting-edge solution for modern attendance management needs. By harnessing the capabilities of the technologies adopted, this system offers a secure, accurate, and efficient approach to attendance tracking, paving the way for improved organizational efficiency and data integrity.

These strengths also introduce vulnerabilities, exposing SDN controllers and data planes to anomalies such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) flooding attacks. These attacks threaten availability, degrade performance, and undermine network resilience. This research develops a hybrid anomaly characterisation and sensitivity analysis framework tailored for SDN-enabled Internet of Things (IoT) environments. The DOE-GAN-SA framework integrates design of experiments (DOE), generative adversarial networks (GANs), anomaly detection and characterisation (ADC), and sensitivity analysis (SA), providing a unified methodology for analysing and mitigating anomalous behaviour. The study simulated normal and malicious traffic within an emulated SDN-IoT testbed built with Mininet, Oracle VirtualBox, and Ubuntu Linux. Popular DDoS vectors, including HTTP, TCP, and UDP flooding attacks, were launched with the Low Orbit Ion Cannon (LOIC) tool against custom topologies containing OpenFlow-enabled switches and hosts. Performance indicators such as throughput, jitter, and response time were collected. Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) and GANs were used to augment datasets and ensure statistical robustness. CART supported anomaly detection and classification, while Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) performed global sensitivity analysis. Repeated experiments and hypothesis tests ensured statistical credibility. Results demonstrated that the DOE-GAN-SA framework effectively captured service degradations across both normal and DDoS conditions. The hybrid model achieved 99.93 % accuracy and an F1 score of 1.000 for anomaly detection. Sensitivity analysis produced a mean squared error of 9.14 × 10⁻⁴, confirming that the ANN reliably learned the behaviour of throughput, jitter, and response time under multiple scenarios. Compared with existing methods, the framework delivered higher detection accuracy, improved dataset quality through synthetic augmentation, and reduced computational overhead, supporting its suitability for near real-time SDN-IoT deployment. Key contributions include a unified methodology for anomaly characterisation and sensitivity analysis in SDN, empirical validation of synthetic data augmentation for security studies, and identification of parameters that most influence network resilience. The study offers network administrators and security practitioners proactive tools for anomaly detection and performance optimisation, strengthening the development of resilient and secure SDN-IoT infrastructures. Future work will expand the framework to additional attack types and emerging 5G contexts.

Despite significant efforts in object detection and tracking, an efficient method which provides high computational efficiency has not been developed. Hence, in this work a Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization Convolution Neural Network (CNN-HPSO) technique was developed to improve computational efficiency in object detection and tracking. The video datasets (MP4 and AVi video formats) used in this work were obtained from a conventional online database and on a real-time basis from YouTube. Multiple frames sampled from the video clips were pre-processed and then segmented. An Enhanced Particle Swarm Optimization (HPSO) was formulated from standard PSO and was applied to Convolution Neural Network (CNN). CNN- HPSO technique was used for edge detection and extraction of the boundary of the image and the object tracking was finally carried out. The work was implemented using MatLab R2016 software. The average results of CNN-HPSO, CNN-PSO and CNN on the videos with MP4 format yielded processing time, accuracy, precision, FPR, sensitivity and specificity of 165.89s, 97.08%, 98.41%, 7.75%, 97.82%, and 92.25%; 179.52s, 94.25%, 96.99%, 10.37%, 95.23% and 89.62%; and 189.19s, 89.95%, 93.64%, 15.56%, 91.95.33% and 84.44% respectively. For the videos in AVi format, CNN-HPSO, CNN-PSO and CNN produced similar average results with processing time, accuracy, precision, FPR, sensitivity, and specificity of 185.09s, 96.62%, 98.23%, 7.80%, 97.34% and 92.19%; 198.24s, 94.83%, 97.62%, 8.56%, 95.46% and 91.43%; and 216.59s, 91.30%, 93.98%, 15.09%, 93.67% and 84.91% respectively. In this research, a CNN-HPSO with associated high computational efficiency was developed. The developed technique can be used for solving other related optimization problems.

The negative effects cannot be overemphasized. it is important to protect children in violent homes from the negative effects in order for them to grow up to be responsible adults. Thus, the aim of this study is to appraise and critically examine the legal perspective of domestic violence in the home with a view to enforcing provisions of the law against perpetrators and to propose timely legal intervention for the reduction of domestic violence. This study adopted a qualitative methodology, that is, library-oriented research. It makes use of both primary and secondary sources. The primary sources: for instance includes, the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended, Violence Against Persons Prohibition Act, 2015;The Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015; Protection against Domestic Violence, Lagos State; Ekiti State Gender Base Violence; The Ebonyi State Protection against Domestic Violence Law, 2007; The Cross River Domestic Violence; Maltreatment of Widow’s Prohibition Law, 2014; judicial precedents and opinions of legal scholars on the discourse. This study found out that in order to drastically reduce the menace of domestic violence in Nigeria, different laws have been put in place by the National assembly and the state houses of assemblies. However, the major problem with the laws in place is the enforcement mechanism. This study concluded that the stakeholders and the major actors in the administration of justice must take up their responsibilities and ensure that the menace of domestic violence does not hunt the society by charging, prosecuting and ensuring that the offenders face the wrath of the law.

The importance of medical imaging cannot be overemphasized. In dentistry, dentists often use radiographs, especially in finding hidden dental structure, bone loss, malignant or benign masses, and cavities that cannot be examined during a visual examination. The use of dental radiographs also helps dentists to detect hidden dental diseases early. This study is a continuation of previous work which bothered on the development of an expert system for the diagnosis and prognosis of 20 Common dental diseases using Bayesian network. The work was developed using several symptoms associated with dental disease for diagnosing dental diseases (D1- D20). The study was limited to symptomatic diagnosis which however has some obvious gaps such as the uncertainty in the reasoning associated with Bayes rule, the use of Pain as a parameter among others that were filled through the use of deep learning tools on dental periapical radiographs through an improved model. The improved model was developed integrating mathematical morphology (MM) operations (dilation, erosion, opening and closing) in the convolution layer of CNN, for data preprocessing and quality feature extraction. With its high sense of intelligence (artificial) obtained during training, the system receives dental images and analyses them automatically for various clinical findings with which 6 dental disease problems were solved. With an achieved accuracy of 99.78%, it can be established that this system can be used in dental clinics with high confidence giving very little or no-error-diagnosis. To make this system more scalable and robust, more dental diseases should nbe added through other MM based theory like lattice, topology and random functions other than set theory-based MM used in this study.

More than just aesthetic appeal, these features—like gardens, native plants, water features, and open green areas—improve psychological well-being and create a sense of connectedness to the natural world, which benefits the user experience as a whole. Notwithstanding the well-established benefits of sustainable building, little is known about the precise function of green landscape elements in community sports facilities and how they affect patron happiness and wellbeing. The current study fills this gap by examining the psychological, environmental, and aesthetic impacts of integrating natural components into these institutions' architectural designs. This study used a mixed-methods approach, integrating qualitative interviews with users, architects, and urban planners to better understand how people perceive the value of green features. In sporting facilities with differing degrees of green integration, quantitative surveys evaluate psychological impact, aesthetic appreciation, and user happiness. Results are anticipated to show that establishments with thoughtfully integrated green elements offer a more pleasurable and fulfilling setting, possibly boosting patron loyalty and well-being. In order to include green components in a way that improves sustainability and usability, the study provides architects and urban planners with helpful suggestions. Using native plants to promote biodiversity, establishing open areas for community engagement, and adding water features to enhance atmosphere are among recommended best practices. These insights aim to support the development of sports centres that not only meet functional needs but also promote an ecological and user-centred approach to design. Future research should explore the long-term sustainability of green features in diverse climates and cultural contexts, broadening the applicability of these findings across various environmental and social settings.
