Curriculum Internationalisation in Nigerian Higher Education: A Strategic Approach to Global Practice
(CENTRE FOR INTERNALISATION AND STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP (CISP), University Of Ilorin, Nigeria, 2026-07) IBRAHEEM Lateef Onireti; OYEKULEHIN Ridwan Oyekulehin
The internationalisation of curricula in Nigerian higher education is essential for aligning academic programmes with global standards and equipping graduates with the skills needed to thrive in an interconnected world. However, challenges such as outdated curricula, limited international collaborations, and inadequate policy frameworks hinder this progress. This study examined the significance of curriculum internationalisation, focusing on key elements of internationalisation, such as global partnerships, student and faculty mobility, multilingual education, and the integration of international perspectives into teaching and research. To achieve its objectives, the study proposed a strategic framework that included policy reforms, curriculum development, transnational education programmes, and the adoption of digital and multilingual content. By implementing these strategies, Nigerian universities can enhance their global competitiveness, bridge the gap between local and international educational standards, and produce graduates who are well equipped for diverse professional environments.

The study investigated maternal knowledge of exclusive breastfeeding and the nutritional status of infants (0-6 months) in the Ilorin South Local Government Area, Ilorin, Kwara State. Five research questions were raised, and two null hypotheses were formulated. A descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study, with the population comprising 2,754 lactating mothers from whom two hundred (200) were selected using multistage sampling. A structured questionnaire was used as the instrument for data collection, which had a reliability coefficient of .952. Findings of the study revealed that 172 (86%) of the respondents (3.18) were aware of exclusive breastfeeding; 120 (60%) of the respondents (2.79) practised exclusive breastfeeding; and 118 infants had B.M.I. values below 18.5, indicating that they were undernourished. 140 (70%) of the respondents (2.84) agreed that maternal knowledge on exclusive breastfeeding influenced their willingness and practice of exclusive breastfeeding. There is a significant difference between the nutritional status of exclusively and non-exclusively breastfed infants (p < 0.05), and the level of maternal knowledge significantly influences exclusive breastfeeding (p < 0.05). The study concluded that a majority of breastfeeding mothers have knowledge of exclusive breastfeeding. It is recommended that lactating mothers practice exclusive breastfeeding.

Strategies for Promoting Gender Equality in Basic Schools in Nigeria
(CENTRE FOR INTERNALISATION AND STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP (CISP), University Of Ilorin, Nigeria, 2026-07) AKINTOLA Mubarak Akinsegun; ODUTAYO Olayide Adesegun; ADEBAYO Abdullateef Adeshina
The discourse on gender equality has increasingly gained traction among education policymakers over the years. This study examined effective strategies for promoting gender equality among basic school pupils in Ibadan metropolis, Oyo state, Nigeria. Descriptive design was employed in this study. The study population consisted of all basic schools in rural communities in Ibadan, Oyo State. A sample of 150 teachers was selected for this study, using probability random sampling techniques. Data gathered in the survey were analysed using percentages, mean, and standard deviation to answer the research questions. The findings revealed a significantly poor perception of gender inequity at the basic school level, with teachers observing high incidences of unequal treatment between boys and girls. Consequently, the study outlined strategies to address these issues, including emphasising education on gender equality, enforcing protective laws, ensuring equal access to leadership roles, and promoting gender-equitable school policies and activities.

Navigating Cultural Diversity in Globalised Education Systems: An Empirical Analysis of Leadership Practices among Student Unions
(Centre for Internationalisation and Strategic Partnership (CISP), University of Ilorin, Nigeria, 2026-07) YUSUF Habibat Abubakar
Abstract As education becomes increasingly globalised, higher institutions have become a hub for cultural exchange where individuals from different cultures, languages, and ethnic groups interact. In addition to academics, the institutions are places where students from many backgrounds can share their perspectives and experiences. Against this backdrop, educational leaders face the complex challenges of navigating diversity and fostering inclusivity where academic excellence thrives. This study employed a descriptive survey research design, focusing on undergraduate students at Al-Hikmah University. A sample of 200 students was selected from the population of 6,852 undergraduate students at the institution through simple random sampling to gather insights into their perceptions of the influence of culturally responsive leadership on student union leaders' practices. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire titled “Culturally Responsive Leadership and Students’ Participation Scale” (CRLSPS). The analysis involved descriptive statistics to summarise the data and inferential statistics, including regression analysis, to test the formulated hypotheses at a 0.05 significance level. Findings revealed that student leaders demonstrated a high level of culturally responsive leadership, with an overall mean score indicating effective cultural awareness and inclusive practices, as well as high participation in various campus activities. Based on the findings, the study recommends that universities implement training programs focused on culturally responsive leadership to equip student leaders with the skills needed to foster inclusivity. Additionally, institutions should create supportive environments that encourage active participation from all students, ensuring that campus activities reflect the diverse cultural identities of the student body. Keywords: Inclusiveness, Globalisation, Culture, Leadership practices.

Empowering Sustainable e-Commerce through Digital Education: Bridging Knowledge Gaps for Green Consumerism
(Centre for Internationalisation and Strategic Partnership (CISP), University of Ilorin, Nigeria, 2026-07) MAHAUR Deepak; KUMAR Susheel
Abstract Digital education is crucial in promoting sustainable e-commerce since it enables consumers and businesses with the knowledge required in green consumerism. This research filled knowledge gaps regarding ethical consumption and environmentally-friendly business operations via the utilisation of digital education. Secondary data was used to evaluate the effectiveness of digital literacy projects and sustainability-oriented learning platforms. The results indicated that although digital infrastructure is growing, there is lack of sustainability-related material within the digital education in mainstream. The inclusion of such materials, especially by using the AI-based and locally based modes of learning, can greatly promote the awareness of green consumer behaviour and sustainability of supply chains. The research illustrated that policy formulation, curriculum exchange, and local area centered interventions are necessary tools that can enable communities to obtain the digital assessments necessary to support responsible e-commerce. Keywords: Digital Education, Eco-Friendly Business Practices, Green Consumerism, Sustainable e-Commerce.
