NATURE-INSPIRED ALGORITHMS: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OFPARADIGMS, MECHANISMS, AND EMERGING TRENDS IN OPTIMIZATION
type: item
description: Nature-inspired algorithms (NIAs) have emerged as powerful paradigms for solving complex optimization problems that defy traditional mathematical approaches. Drawing inspiration from billions of years of evolutionary refinement, collective intelligence, and adaptive behaviors observed in biological systems, these algorithms have transformed the landscape of computational problemsolving. This article presents a comprehensive review of nature-inspired algorithms, systematically categorizing them into evolutionary algorithms, swarm intelligence, plant-based approaches, and physics-inspired methods. We analyze their foundational mechanisms, particularly the critical exploration-exploitation trade-off that governs their performance. The review examines recent advancements, including hybridization strategies, transfer learning integration, and adaptive parameter control mechanisms. Special attention is given to the underexplored potential of plantinspired algorithms, which constitute only 9.7% of the literature yet demonstrate competitive performance on benchmark problems. Through comparative analysis and visual frameworks, we identify persistent challenges—theoretical foundation gaps, scalability limitations, and the "algorithmic metaphor epidemic"—while proposing future research directions. This work serves as both an introductory guide for new researchers and a critical analysis for practitioners seeking to understand the current landscape and future trajectory of nature-inspired optimization.

EFFECT OF JOB MORALE AND JOB COMMITMENT ON ACADEMICSTAFF PRODUCTIVITY AND QUALITY EDUCATION DELIVERY INPUBLIC AND PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES IN EDO STATE, NIGERIA
type: item
description: his study investigated the influence of job morale and job commitment on academic staff productivity and quality of education delivery in public and private universities in Edo State, Nigeria. Adopting a qualitative phenomenological approach, the research explored the lived experiences, perceptions, and meanings of 30 academic staff across three public universities (University of Benin, Edo State University, Uzairue) and one private university (Igbinedion University, Okada). Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions, designed to elicit insights into motivational drivers, institutional support, and professional engagement. The data were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s (2006) six-step thematic analysis framework, with both inductive coding to capture emergent themes and deductive coding informed by motivation theories, including Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory, Self-Determination Theory, and Expectancy Theory. Four major themes emerged: (1) job morale as a determinant of engagement and productivity, (2) job commitment and its impact on sustained quality education delivery, (3) institutional practices as moderators of morale and commitment, and (4) contextual differences between public and private universities. Findings indicate that intrinsic motivators—such as recognition, autonomy, and professional development—enhance morale, while affective and normative commitment strengthens institutional loyalty and quality teaching. Leadership practices, equitable policies, and resource availability were identified as critical moderators that either reinforce or constrain motivation. Public and private universities exhibited distinct motivational dynamics, underscoring the need for context-specific management strategies. The study provides actionable implications for educational managers and policymakers, advocating for integrated motivational frameworks, participatory leadership, and ta…

EXPLORING THE LEADERSHIP CAPACITY OF MASTER TEACHERS ASINSTRUCTIONAL LEADERS: BASIS FOR A MENTORING PROGRAM
type: item
description: In 21st-century schools, the concept of quality education has changed significantly. Although still based on effective pedagogy, classroom management, assessment, and subject expertise, modern education places a higher priority on equipping students with the skills necessary for the global and digital world in addition to academic knowledge. To fulfill this, the educational community must have top-tier teachers who can carry out their responsibilities to the highest standards. The study investigated the instructional competence and instructional leadership skills of master teachers as assessed by teachers and principals. The findings served as the foundation for developing a focused mentoring program. The outcomes established that both teachers and principals strongly agree on the high competency of master teachers across both instructional and leadership aspects. This highlighted the master teachers’ dual role as highly effective practitioners in the classroom and influential leaders among their peers. They are uniquely stationed to drive school-wide improvement by modeling superior instruction while vigorously guiding the professional growth of their contemporaries. Although principals have consistently provided higher ratings compared to teachers, this is primarily based on the role. Principals require the master teachers to evaluate strategic impact and formal leadership while the teachers assess daily operational effectiveness and collaboration. Statistical analysis further confirmed that these two skill sets possess a highly significant and strong positive correlation, underscoring their inherent interconnectedness. The proposed program will equip master teachers to expand their influence and leadership effectiveness, leveraging their skills to inspire colleagues and drive continuous improvement across the entire educational system.

INTELLIGENT DOCUMENT PROCESSING: AI-POWERED DOCUMENTMANAGEMENT AND ANALYSIS
type: item
description: The rapid growth of digital information has necessitated a transformation in document management practices, giving rise to Intelligent Document Processing (IDP), an AI-powered approach that automates, analyses, and optimizes the handling of organizational documents. Historically, organizations relied on manual or traditional document management systems (DMS), which were often labor-intensive, error-prone, and limited in analytical capabilities. The emergence of IDP has shifted this paradigm, integrating artificial intelligence, machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, and robotic process automation to enable more accurate, efficient, and insightful document workflows. IDP encompasses a range of technologies and systems, including optical character recognition for digitization, NLP for semantic understanding, ML and deep learning for predictive and analytical tasks, and RPA for workflow automation. These systems facilitate automated document capture, classification, indexing, extraction, and retrieval while supporting advanced analytical tasks such as sentiment analysis, entity recognition, pattern detection, and anomaly identification. Compared with traditional DMS, AI-powered IDP offers superior scalability, speed, and the ability to extract actionable insights from unstructured and structured data. Applications of IDP span multiple sectors, including banking, healthcare, legal services, education, and public administration, delivering tangible benefits such as increased efficiency, reduced human errors, cost savings, enhanced data accuracy, and improved compliance. Nonetheless, challenges persist, including data privacy and security concerns, integration with legacy systems, high implementation costs, and AI model bias. Ethical and legal considerations, particularly transparency, accountability, and responsible AI deployment, are critical to the sustainable adoption of IDP. Looking forward, the field is expected to evolve with advances in ge…

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: AN ASSESSMENT OF POLICIES AND GOALS
type: item
description: This paper assesses Sustainable Development Policies and goals. The information on Sustainable Development policies and goals were obtained from secondary sources, mostly from United Nation Development programme reports. The paper revealed that conflict, climate disruption, economic instability and rising geopolitical tension characterized many countries, thereby invalidating investment in SDGs by countries over the years. Equally, that over 800 million people still live in extreme poverty and hunger. Also, that debt service for low and middle-income countries hit 1.4 trillion dollars, draining resources for critical development. Moreover, that only 35 percent of the Sustainable Development Goal targets are on track or making modest progress while 18 percent are actually regressing .In view of these findings, the study recommends that countries should shift from fossil fuel to renewable energy to combat climate change and improve health outcome of citizens. As well, government should adopt sustained Macroeconomic policies for economic well-being of citizens and prioritize gender sensitive budgeting to accelerate development as women are critical to achieving micro income, food security, health and education. Furthermore, that investment in national statistical system for high quality and timely data gathering to monitor progress and identify gaps should be prioritized.

RELATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF MONETARY AND FISCAL POLICIES ONECONOMIC GROWTH IN NIGERIA
type: item
description: This study looks at how well fiscal and monetary policies worked together to boost Nigeria’s economy from 1990 to 2023. It focuses on fiscal policy variables such as taxes and expenditure by the government as well as those of monetary policy like interest rate changes and money supply. The study attempts to determine the best policy for fostering stability and sustained growth by contrasting their effectiveness in various economic circumstances. To investigate the short- and long-term correlations between these variables, the study uses Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) / Error Correction Model (ECM), because it can handle time series data with variables integrated at multiple orders, the ARDL technique is especially well-suited for this kind of analysis. The primary variables under investigation are the dependent variable (GDP growth) and the independent variables (monetary and fiscal policy indicators). The fiscal policy has a more significant and sustained influence on Nigeria’s long-term economic growth. Government taxes and expenditure are key drivers of growth throughout the studied period, especially during recession periods. On the other hand, monetary policy has little impact on long-term growth but has been more successful in handling pressing short-term problems of inflation and currency stabilization. These findings imply that Nigeria’s economic strategy should place a higher priority on fiscal policy, with an emphasis on enacting tax changes and improving the effectiveness of government expenditure. In general, this research offers significant perspectives for decision-makers who aim to encourage steady economic expansion and stability in Nigeria.

type: item
description: The research aims to harness wind renewable energy in Nigeria. The monthly mean wind speed of 20 anemometer stations data was acquired from the archives of the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET) in Oshodi, Lagos, Nigeria, covering the years 1951 to 2012. The descriptive statistical method was used in this study to better comprehend data characteristics and variances using mean wind speed statiscal and mann-kendall’s test and Matlab software. The application aims to detail data behaviors, situations, events, and results from 1951 to 2012 and assess their statistical importance. The coefficients of variations (CV), which range from 19.87% to 50.32%, are large, according to the statistical findings. Higher CV and monthly mean daily wind speeds are typically found in the country's north. According to the findings, the northwestern cities displayed a bimodal maxima that took place in the winter months of December, January, and February as well as in the early summer months of June. The north eastern and north central cities similarly reported the highest wind speeds in March, April, and May. Similarly, the northern region's mimima was observed from late summer (August) to mid-autumn (September, October, and November).The cities in the southwest experienced their highest wind speed in the spring (March and April) and summer (July and August). Their minima was recorded in late autumn (November). The south eastern region recorded maxima during spring (March and April) and the minima occurred in late autumn (November).The northern region recorded the best and highest mean wind speed where Kano recorded the maximum wind speed mean of 7.900 m/s and Yelwa having recorded the minima wind speed mean of 3.524 among the northern region. while the western region recorded the poorest mean wind speed of 2.966 m/s by Oshogbo and their highest recorded mean wind speed is 4.635 m/s recorded by Lagos (Ikeja). Hence, Nigeria’s northern region is a good place to generate wind power

EVALUATION OF THE NIGERIAN SERICULTURE INDUSTRY
type: item
description: This study evaluates the Nigerian sericulture industry with emphasis on its level of development, institutional support, challenges, and future prospects. A descriptive survey research design was adopted, employing a mixed-methods approach to generate both quantitative and qualitative data. Primary data were collected from 300 respondents drawn from six states (Kaduna, Enugu, Osun, Plateau, Borno, and Abia) using structured questionnaires and interviews. The respondents comprised sericulture farmers, extension agents, government officials, researchers, and cooperative members. Purposive and stratified random sampling techniques were used, while data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential tools.Findings reveal high awareness of sericulture (87%) among respondents; however, actual participation across the value chain remains low. Only 41.3% of respondents cultivated mulberry, 36.7% engaged in silkworm rearing, and just 18.7% were involved in silk processing, indicating weak value addition. Government support and extension services were perceived as inadequate, with over 70% of respondents expressing dissatisfaction with policy implementation and access to credit. Major constraints identified include lack of technical training, poor funding, absence of improved silkworm breeds, inadequate processing facilities, and weak extension services.Despite these challenges, the industry shows strong prospects, particularly in rural job creation, women empowerment, export promotion, and textile value addition. The study concludes that sericulture in Nigeria remains underdeveloped but possesses significant potential for economic diversification and rural development. It recommends increased government and private sector investment, targeted training programs, improved access to credit, revitalization of pilot farms, and establishment of processing centers and cooperative clusters to enhance sustainable growth of the industry.

Sustainable Water Resource Management: A Comparative Analysis ofCommunity-Led and Government-Driven Approaches
type: item
description: This study examined sustainable water resource management by comparing community-led and government-driven approaches. A descriptive survey design was adopted, and data were collected from 289 respondents across three districts using the Water Management Assessment Questionnaire (WMAQ). The study population consisted of 1,240 water users, from which a sample of 302 was drawn using Taro Yamane’s formula. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics for research questions and t-test and correlation techniques for hypotheses testing. Findings revealed that community-led water management systems recorded higher community participation and slightly better water service reliability and accessibility compared with government-driven systems. Governance challenges—including funding constraints, inconsistent policy implementation, and decision-making delays—were found to significantly affect sustainability outcomes across both systems. Hypotheses testing confirmed significant differences in participation and service reliability across the two approaches and established a strong positive relationship between governance challenges and sustainability. The study concludes that while community-led models outperform government-driven systems in participation and responsiveness, both require improved governance structures to enhance long-term sustainability. Recommendations include greater community involvement in governmental planning processes, capacity-building for community committees, adoption of hybrid governance models, targeted NGO support, and improved funding mechanisms. The study contributes to water governance research by offering empirical evidence that integrates community participation, reliability, and governance dimensions.
