    Globalising Education: Strategies, Challenges, and Sustainability
    (Centre for Internationalisation and Strategic Partnership (CISP), University of Ilorin, Nigeria, 2026-07) OLADIPO Francisca Onaolapo; ARULOGUN Tayo; AIMAS-LOVE Lily
    This study addressed global disparities in AI education through curriculum internationalisation. Analysing AI educational frameworks across 12 countries on six continents, we identified key barriers: algorithmic colonialism, culturally homogeneous training data, English-language dominance, and context-insensitive pedagogies. The study proposed the Culturally Responsive AI Education (CRAE) framework featuring three dimensions: pluralistic epistemological foundations integrating diverse knowledge traditions, localised dataset development, reflecting regional priorities, and multilingual programming environments, reducing linguistic barriers. Our 30-month mixed-methods study examined curriculum documents from 38 institutions, conducted 54 faculty interviews, and analysed instructional materials, using comparative methods. Implementation across universities in Nigeria, Brazil, India, and Germany showed enhanced student engagement and technical mastery through connecting AI concepts to locally meaningful problems. Results indicated that the CRAE framework facilitates genuine knowledge exchange between Western and Global South institutions and has the potential to reshape the global AI development landscape to address diverse regional priorities. This research contributed to advancing educational practices that can help democratise AI innovation while preparing students to work effectively across cultural boundaries in an increasingly interconnected technological landscape. By fundamentally reconsidering how AI is taught and applied across diverse cultural contexts, this study contributed to a more equitable distribution of AI benefits globally. Keywords: Internationalization, Curriculum, Artificial Intelligence Education, Cross-cultural Education.

    (Centre for Internationalisation and Strategic Partnership (CISP), University of Ilorin, Nigeria, 2026-07) ABEGUNDE, Ifeoluwa Tunrayo,; FALOPE Blessing Gbemishola; IBRAHIM Adebowale Ibukun
    Abstract This study focused on the incorporation of multimedia in special needs education, with Kwara State’s School of Special Needs in view. The objectives of the study were to examine the extent of the incorporation, perceived benefits and challenges of the use of multimedia technology in special needs education. Piaget's theory of cognitive development underlined the research work. Semi-structured interview questions were administered to the participants of this study, using a snowball sampling approach, and their responses were analysed thematically. The results showed a high level of multimedia incorporation in special needs education in the case study of this research. However, there are several impediments to its adoption. The study recommended that training and re-training for educators must be prioritised; infrastructure must be improved; and policies should be reviewed to enable a guided use of mobile learning devices and locally multimedia contents. Keywords: Multimedia, Education, Special needs, Piaget’s theory of cognitive development.

    Street begging poses public health and social sustainability challenges, especially in low- and middle-income countries like Nigeria. Its local causes and effects are underexplored. It is against this background that this study sought to assess perceived causes, consequences, and mitigation strategies for street begging among adults in Sango, Ilorin, Nigeria. The study adopted a cross-sectional design with 460 adults selected through a multistage sampling procedure for a structured interview, using a semi-structured interviewer administered questionnaire. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics and chi-square tests at p<0.05. Poverty, disability, and family breakdown were found to be the key causes of street begging, while consequences included sexual violence and assault. The study recommended that street begging reflects deep-rooted social vulnerabilities needing sustainable policy solutions like the establishment of destitute centres and the provision of financial aid for the destitute and disabled.

    Access to and Utilisation of Agricultural Extension Services Among Small-Scale Farmers in Asa Local Government Area, Kwara State, Nigeria: Challenges and Policy Implications
    (Centre for Internationalisation and Strategic Partnership (CISP), University of Ilorin, Nigeria, 2026-07) DOLAPO Tawakalitu Abiola; EGBEWOLE, Olayinka Halimah; IJALUWOYE Frances Oluwabukunmi
    Small-scale farmers in Nigeria rely on agriculture for their livelihoods but face significant barriers in accessing effective extension services. This study examined these challenges using a mixed-methods approach involving qualitative and quantitative tools. Findings revealed that while extension services exist, they are underutilised. Radio, farmer cooperatives, and local networks were the primary information sources. Core services included advisory support and market information, while training programmes and workshops were least accessed. Key benefits noted were improved market access, productivity, and knowledge transfer. However, challenges such as inadequate funding, limited training, poor infrastructure, and restricted access to technology hindered effective utilisation. The study recommended increased funding, tailored training, infrastructural improvements, and stronger cooperatives. These strategies are essential for empowering smallscale farmers and promoting sustainable agricultural development in Nigeria.

    Global Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance: Advocating for a sustainable future
    (2027-07) OLORUNTOBA Wonder Olaonipekun; ZAKARIYAH Rahmat Folashade
    Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) causes treatment failures, prolonged sickness, and higher mortality. The integration of a "One Health Approach" in the human, animal, and environmental health sectors through multisectoral collaboration is vital for AMR surveillance. This review highlighted the current AMR surveillance efforts. Tracking the trends of resistant infections across populations and regions is made easier by advocating sustainable educational initiatives of AMR surveillance. Some ongoing surveillance efforts include "the World AMR Awareness Week (WAAW), the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS), the ResistanceMap, and the UK’s Fleming Fund". The WHO’s GLASS offers a unified framework for countries to track the progress of existing and emerging national surveillance systems.

    (Centre for Internationalisation and Strategic Partnership (CISP), University of Ilorin, Nigeria, 2026-07) SAGAYA Abdulquadri; LATEEF Adebola Azeez; TIAMIYU Bashir Bolaji; ABDULRAHAMAN, Abdullahi Alanamu
    Luffa, a genus of tropical and subtropical vines in the cucumber family, shows morphological variation influenced by environmental factors. However, scientific data on the thermal and mechanical properties of Luffa fibres remain limited. This study investigated the leaf morpho-anatomical characteristics and fibre quality of Luffa cylindrica and Luffa acutangula, using mature fruits collected from eight local government areas in Kwara State, Nigeria. Seeds were cultivated in a randomised complete block design. Morphological analysis revealed greater variability in L. cylindrica for stem girth, leaf size, and qualitative traits. Anatomically, both species were amphistomatic, with L. cylindrica bearing trichomes on both surfaces, unlike L. acutangula. Mechanical testing showed that L. cylindrica had superior tensile strength, modulus, flexural strength, and hardness, whereas L. acutangula exhibited higher impact energy and elongation. These findings suggested L. cylindrica is better suited for industrial fiber applications, supporting the need for its cultivation and promotion for commercial use.

    Reimagining Leisure Education Through Freire: A Comprehensive Guide
    (Centre for Internationalisation and Strategic Partnership (CISP), University of Ilorin, Nigeria, 2026-07) BELLO Muhinat Bolanle
    This paper examines Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed as a transformative framework for leisure and recreation education. Traditional pedagogical approaches in leisure studies remain rooted in hierarchical, banking models that reinforce systemic oppression, including Whiteness, monoculturalism, and exclusion. Drawing on Freire's concepts of critical consciousness, dialogical action, and problem-posing education, we argue that leisure educators must move beyond performative inclusion toward genuinely liberatory practices. We analyse how current pedagogies perpetuate oppression through White Institutional Presence and anti-dialogical actions such as conquest, divide and rule, manipulation, and cultural invasion. We then demonstrate how Freirean dialogical actions, cooperation, unity,organisation, and cultural synthesis can address these inequities through cocreation,praxis, and decolonised pedagogy. Practical strategies include codesigned syllabi, community-engaged projects, and integration of Indigenous knowledge systems. By cultivating critical consciousness and embedding dialogical action, leisure educators can position education as a practice of freedom, challenging dominant ideologies and creating more inclusive, just learning environments.

    Empowering Visually Impaired Students: Developing Educational Assistive Technologies for Inclusion in the Nigerian University System
    (Centre for Internationalisation and Strategic Partnership (CISP), University of Ilorin, Nigeria, 2026-07) AROKOYO, Bolanle Elizabeth; FAHM AbdulGafar Olawale; OGUNGBADE, Oyelakin Kunmi; ADEPOJU, Grace Feyisayo; NWOSU Florence Chika; ADIO, Adedayo Omobolanle; HUSSAINI, Kabiru
    Students with visual impairments in Nigerian universities continue to encounter significant barriers to learning, including inaccessible educational materials, inadequate assistive technologies, insufficient institutional support, and limited educator preparedness for inclusive teaching. This paper presented a conceptual framework for promoting educational inclusion through the development of localised assistive technologies, accessible learning resources, educator capacity-building, and institutional policy reform. Drawing on Inclusive Education Theory, the Social Model of Disability, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and the Capability Approach, the paper proposed an integrated model to enhance access to higher education for students with visual impairments. Central to the framework is EVISVision, an assistive mobile learning application designed to support independent access to educational content through text-to-speech, optical character recognition, voice navigation, and offline functionality. The framework also emphasised the conversion of academic materials into Braille, audio, large-print, and screen-reader-compatible formats, as well as systematic staff training and policy implementation. The paper contributed to the ongoing discourse on inclusive higher education and offered practical recommendations for advancing Sustainable Development Goals 4 and 10 through equitable access to quality university education in Nigeria. Keywords: Inclusive Education, Assistive Technologies, Accessibility, Policy Reform

    Glocalisation of Africa's Untapped Heritage from Primary to Tertiary Education: Community Service of Higher Education
    (Centre for Internationalisation and Strategic Partnership (CISP), University of Ilorin, Nigeria, 2026-07) ADEDOKUN-SHITTU Nafisat Afolake; ABDUL RAHEEM, Modinah Adenike Oladayo; AJANI, Hammed Adedeji; NUHU, Muritala Kehinde; MEJABI, Omenogo Veronica
    Higher education is the bridge that connects town and gown; they delve into the corners to turn ideas into opportunities. Higher education instruction should, therefore, encourage pupils to experiment. To preserve the slowly deteriorating cultural values and increase the chances of cooperative inquiry based learning, creative problem-solving, and creative activities, the GLOCALISE strategy, which combines global and local values, should be employed. When youngsters are not exposed to a culture, it dies too soon. As a result, all educational levels should incorporate the idea of glocalisation into their curricula. At the primary level, this should take the form of a role playing or storytelling approach; at the secondary level, it should be project based; and at the tertiary level, it should be problem-solving. Each level's various concepts ought to be connected to a proverb, idiom, artefact, antique, custom, or culture. Contextualised learning makes a lot of sense; it is enjoyable for students and fosters critical thinking and teamwork. Therefore, this paper examined how the GLOCALISE strategy is using crowdsourcing to explore some African cultural heritages globally (locally and globally) while creating tools for teaching and student involvement that are available to educators, parents, and other interested stakeholders. GLOCAL professionals update and validate the curriculum, assessment, and instructional materials. It is envisaged that this strategy will foster the creative minds of Africans and turn unexplored African history into invaluable gems for the world.

    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.

    Influence of Income Replacement on Management of Chronic Diseases among Retirees in Ilorin South Local Government, Kwara State
    (CENTRE FOR INTERNALISATION AND STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP (CISP), University Of Ilorin, Nigeria, 2026-07) KAREEM, Muritala Bolaji; GBADEBO Christiana Teniola; BABAYEJU Adeshola Ajoke; ABDULKADIR, Shakirat Odunayo
    The study investigated the influence of income replacement on the management of chronic diseases among retirees in Ilorin South local government. Six (6) research questions were raised, and six (6) research hypotheses were formulated. A survey research design was adopted, and the population for the study included all the retirees in Ilorin South Local Government Area of Kwara State. The study adopted stratified and purposive sampling techniques to select Ilorin South from the sixteen (16) local governments in Kwara state. Three (3) wards were selected from the local government using a purposive sampling technique, and two hundred (200) respondents were selected from these wards. The Income Replacement and Chronic Diseases Management Questionnaire and scorecard (IRCDMQ) was the instrument used for data collection. The research questions were analysed using frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations. The hypothesis was tested with a t-test and linear regression at a 0.05 level of significance, and data visualisation was done using ggplot, gtsummary, stargazer packages, and LaTeX. The findings revealed most of the respondents were female, aged 65 – 69 years old, earning below ₦81,000 ₦150,000, which is equivalent to $120; and the most common disease among the respondents was arthritis. The hypothesis revealed a significant relationship between post-retirement income and retirees’ perception of health management (p<0.05), indicating that each additional decrease in post retirement income is associated with a 0.09081 decrease in the chronic disease management score. Although the study revealed no relationship between post retirement income and the number of reported diseases, likewise, the differences in pre- and post-retirement income do not influence the number of reported diseases. Therefore, it is concluded that low-income replacement affects the management of chronic diseases. The researchers recommended that senior citizens, who have served the nation for 35 years or more, should be compensated for their sacrifices during their service years.
