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.

(Lead City University Ibadan, 2023) Olukotun, S.A; Adediran, A
This article examined the impact of land tenure regularization of Oyo State government on formal land transactions and beneficiaries level of investment during the period 2017-2022. Both primary and secondary data were explored for the study. Primary data were sourced from the beneficiaries of the policy. Secondary data were sourced from lands registry Oyo state ministry of Lands Housing and Urban Development's file, records and publications. In-Depth Interview were held with land registrar with the aid of questionnaire and information such as number of land transactions registered during the period 2017-2022 and transactions registered five years before tenure regularization policy intervention (2012-2016) were also sourced for the purpose of comparative analysis. Also, Focus Group Discussions and mobile data collection methods were used to collect information on demographic characteristics, their perceptions, tenure security and type of investment embarked upon after regularization, sources of funds and security for the fund sourced from financial institutions. One thousand beneficiaries were interviewed. However, 800 copies of questionnaire forms were retrieved for final analysis. The primary data were analyzed using the descriptive statistics such as frequency and percentage tables. The formulated hypothesis was analyzed using Students' T-test statistics. The result showed that out of 800 respondents, the majority applied for loan 96% of the beneficiaries applied for loans from various financial institutions and 41% of the respondent invested on residential building, 17.5% on large scale agriculture and 8.9% on commercial. The collateral for the loan granted was the regularized titled documents. The findings also showed that there is significant difference in formal transaction registered in 2012-2016 and 2017-2022. The calculated t-value was 3.800 and critical t value was 1.900. Since the calculated t-value is greater than critical t-value (t-cal>t-critical) and p-value 0.04 is less than the level of significance 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis which state that there is statistical significant difference in land transaction registered between the two periods. Comparison of transaction between the periods shows that activities on formal transactions have increased by 133%. Hence, we can infer that to improve land transaction and investment, there will be need to improve the efficiency of land tenure regularization method.

Food Security and Sustainable Agricultural Development in Nigeria Through Healthy and Environmental Best Practices of Farmers
(Lead City University Ibadan, 2023) Eunice Oluchi INNOCENT-ENE
This paper discussed sustainable food security in Nigeria through farmers' involvement in healthy and environmental best practices. Farmers' health directly correlates with productivity which results in food sufficiency and security. Engaging in healthy and environmental best practices improves health and supports farmers to stay healthy, enhances their attendance as well as productivity at work. This paper noted that one of the factors that cause unproductivity at work is ill-health; ill-health can result in presenteeism (workers who are physically present at work but not performing at their best); and absenteeism (workers not being present at work at all). The paper further argued that farmers' ill-health if not properly managed can result to food insecurity. To avert the incidence of food insecurity, farmers need to produce sufficient food and affordable for use by the people. The paper reasoned that sustainability can be enhanced by healthy and environmental practices of farmers in the course of food production. These practices are activities and lifestyles that can reduce ill-health and improve health of farmers; and activities that can reduce negative effects of agriculture on the environment. Due to farmers' poor personal health profiles, and ignorance to seek proper medical attention when the need arises, the paper concluded that that there is need to bring health literacy and environmental hygiene to the door steps of farmers; and advocated for health education through physical, environmental, reproductive as well as sexual health. The paper also suggested alternating bio-fertilizers and pesticides with chemical-fertilizer and pesticides to avoid over-use of chemicals on the farm. And also crop rotation, organic farming, conservative agriculture to alternate the highly chemicalized system of agriculture in practice at the moment.

(Lead City University Ibadan, 2023) Tahir Tayo MUSTAPHA
It is well established that there is no nation that can enjoy a true sustainable development without justice, peace and security. Based on this view, religion as a complete way of life, Islam left no aspect of human life untouched, being spiritual and materials, economic and political, individual and social, educational and cultural, national and international. Therefore, this paper presents the challenge of injustice, fear and insecurity in Nigeria and prescribed some Islamic measures which if taken, harmony, peace, security and sustainable development are ensured in this county, where fear and social vices will be things of the past. In order to achieve these goals, historical and positioned systems of data collection were adopted. The study discovered that the only solution to these problems in Nigeria is to subject the leaders and followers to embark on the law promulgated by the Creator of the universe and total submission to Him alone can solve the problems. The paper recommended that, every Nigerian citizen should be made to understand the true contents of their religious books to actualize the love, tolerance and togetherness embedded therein for peaceful co-existence. More so there is need for dialogue between the various religious leaders in the county for the exchange of ideas, views and opinions to bridge the gap between the faiths.
