    (Jalingo Journal of Social and Management Sciences, Faculty of Social and Management Sciences, Taraba State University, Jalingo, 2021-08) Yusuf, Tajudeen; Udende, Patrick; Azeez, Adesina Lukuman; Olaboye, Ghaniyah Olaide
    Advancement in technology has presented unprecedented opportunities for staff and undergraduates to utilize paperless information and communication as tool of internal communication. This has triggered interest in scholarship on paperless information and communication. Despite interest among scholars and researchers on paperless studies, little is written on Nigerian setting and more specifically staff and students of Universities. Against this background, a study was undertaken to investigate level of adoption of paperless communication information system among staff and students of University of Ilorin, Nigeria. Based on Morgan’s published table, a sample size of 380 was drawn from the entire population (50,484) while instrument of data collection was the questionnaire. The findings from the study revealed among other things that use of paperless communication ensures easy access to document backup and recovery as well as highly reliable working software that allows proper management of information. The study concludes that paperless communication and information system is essential tool for internal commination strategy. The study recommends among other things, sustained use of paperless which is a transition to an era of technology that calls for commitment for both staff and students.

    Social Media and Changing Political Behaviors among the Youth in Kwara State of Nigeria
    (Democratic Communiqué, 2023-01) Mustapha, Lambe Kayode; Olufadi, Olamide Hameed; Azeez, Adesina Lukuman; Udende, Patrick; Mustapha, Maryam Lasisi
    Diminishing youth’s political engagement has been a subject of concern to political stakeholders thus becoming a fertile field of inquiry by scholars in political science, political communication and electoral studies. Being a global phenomenon resulting from multiplicity of causations, youth civic and political engagements receive attention from multi-theoretical and cross-disciplinary perspectives with diversifying prognoses. From the political communication viewpoint, the quantum and quality of political information in the mediated public sphere as well as representation in and access to the media have remained important factors predicting limited youth political participation and civic engagement. A corpus of studies, mostly from advanced democratic climes, has, however, challenged the notion that youth’s mainstream media exclusion, in terms of access to and representation in media, precipitates political malaise. Premised on the social media affordance, these alternative positions believe that youth may not be engaging in electoral politics, they are exploiting other political participation repertoires created by the new communication ecology. Giving these mixed findings, that are mostly Western-centric, we explore the forms of political behaviors of young people in Kwara State (N=381), North-central Nigeria within the theoretical prism of Civic Volunteerism Model. Findings revealed that social media political campaigns have positive relationships with both online and offline political participation, with online participation being higher, even after controlling for political knowledge and political efficacy. The results have practical and policy implications that need to be addressed to guarantee the future of participatory political culture in youth-dominated democracies like Nigeria.
