    Concerns for corrupt practices among public servants is a global phenomenon, yet not much studies have been carried out in this area in Nigeria especially in virtual perspective. Thus, this study examined the impact of an E-governance initiative, the Integrated Tax Administration System (ITAS), in curbing corruptible tendencies among public servants in Kwara State Internal Revenue Service (KWiRS). The triangulation approach was used where data was collected through an interview and a survey. A total of 40 public servants in Kwara state who use ITAS were surveyed and an interview was conducted with two personnel of KWiRS. The survey assessed the perception of respondents on the impact of ITAS in curbing corruptible tendencies among personnel in KWiRS, while the interview investigated use of ITAS in KWiRS. The survey data was analyzed descriptively and the interview summarized. Findings indicate that ITAS has increased responsiveness and ensured transparency in tax collection in KWiRS. The study recommends that future studies undertake a survey of staff in the taxation unit of KWiRS.

    The media are routinely cited by patients, after physicians and pharmacists, as the key source of information on new treatment for ailments. This underscores the importance of media in engendering the learning of correct health information, changing of health attitudes and values, and the establishment of new health behaviour. This study was undertaken to assess the promotion of alternative medicine on radio and its impact on the health seeking behaviour of men in Ilorin metropolis. Out of 400 copies of the questionnaire distributed, 396 representing 99 percent were returned. The study focused on all three local government areas situated in Ilorin metropolis. Sample was selected at different levels and stages using multistage, stratified, and purposive sampling techniques. Results indicated that men that are heavily exposed to the promotion of alternative medicine on radio seek unorthodox treatment for health ailments. Thus, it is recommended that government and regulatory bodies should monitor and control broadcast of health information on various mass media to ensure that the health information the audience are exposed to are credible and such that would impact their lives positively.
