FROM LAGOS TO GULF: A STUDY ON MIGRATION PHENOMΕΝΟΝ OF NIGERIAN CROSS BORDERS TRAFFICKERS IN ARABIAN GCC STATES
(Department Of Islamic Studies, University Of Abuja, 2025) Ibraheem Mikail Abiola
Lagos to Gulf is a phenomenon that denotes illegal migration, human trafficking and drug dealings of some Nigerians in the Arabian Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states. The concept is unique going by its criminality hoer and dilute with economic activities. This paper is going to use multiple and innovative means of data collection to tie disparate date to decipher the unofficial trafficking, kidnapping and drug dealing system. This paper hopes that modern technology and informational system could be used in checkmating the gaps connected with tackling the operational systems of these cross bording security and drug dealing. Meanwhile, this paper concludes that the major livelihood option of Nigerians in the GCC states include street hawking, driving, guide services for pilgrims, lecturing, heavy goods packing and loading small scale and large scale, import and export business

Social Workers and Rural Development
(College Press, Lead City University, 2019) Lawal, M. O.; Akor S. J.
Different scholars have defined Social Work on the basis of the perspectives from which the concept is appreciated. To some, Social Work is viewed as a profession concerned with helping individuals, families, groups and communities to enhance their individual and collective well-being. It is also seen as an endeavour that aims at assisting people to develop their skills and abilities so as to use their own resources and those of the communities within which they reside to resolve day-to-day problems. Dhavaleshwar (2016) defined Social Work as an organised profession for extending helping hands to an individual, group or community for their betterment and to sustain them to help themselves by adopting varied professional strategies. According to him, the disadvantaged sections of the society like the weaker sections, the downtrodden, orphans, etc. are considered to be in need of the profession. Social workers do provide psychological counseling, guidance and assistance in the form of helping the people’s sustainable livelihoods. A professional who works with people so that they can manage their daily lives with respect and dignity is called a ‘social worker’.

Spatial Dynamics of Traffic Delay and Man-hour Loss along Major Corridors in Ilorin, Nigeria
(Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Federal University Technology, Akure, Nigeria, 2023-04) Aduloju O.T.B.; Suleiman, A. R.; Anofi A.O.; Agboola B.D.
The ubiquitous traffic congestion and delays have led to colossal resource loss from travel time delays, increased fuel consumption and carbon emissions, and heat waves. The paper accounts for man-hour loss in three (3) selected major corridors-Tanke-University,Ilorin-Ajase Ipo, and lIlorin- Share corridors of the study area. The corridors werecarefully evaluated and selected due to the pronounced traffic delays, traffic generators,and the absence of workable spatial walking theory. Mixed sampling methods were adopted, including a convenience sampling of commuters using unusual on-the-spot focus interview sessions by trained field assistants cum commuters. Using the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), no significant differences in traffic characteristics were observed among the corridors. Consequently, the study recorded an average annual man-hour loss of 7.66 man-hours daily (116 days, 11 hours, 52 minutes, annually) per commuter acrossthe three corridors, resulting from the complex interplay of congestion and delays. The paper, therefore, recommends policies that stifle reliance on automobile dependency, improve traffic management at road intersections, and create open penetrative campaigns through the diverse interest groups in the city to address prostitution in these corridors. Concerted intersectoral linkages must be initiated between the three tiers of government to increase road capacities.
