Balanced Animal Nutrition for Better Feeds, Healthy Animals, Safe Food, and a Healthy Planet: A One Health Perspective—An Invited Review

Livestock production is increasingly expected to deliver not only higher output, but also better animal health and welfare, safer and more nutritious food, viable livelihoods, and lower environmental pressure. This invited review examines balanced animal nutrition within a One He...

Effective Drainage of the Built Environment in The AI Era: Opportunities for Smart and Climate-Responsive Drainage Management in Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria

Effective drainage is essential to the performance, safety and sustainability of the built environment. Rapid urbanisation, increased impervious surfaces, inadequate drainage infrastructure, poor maintenance and indiscriminate waste disposal have increased urban flood risks in ma...

A Corpus-based Analysis of the Phraseological Patterns and Frequency of Lexical Verbs in Nigerian and British Englishes

This study presents a quantitative corpus-based comparison of phrasal verb usage in Nigerian and British Englishes, using data from the International Corpus of English (ICE-Nigeria and ICE-Great Britain). The analysis is against the backdrop that Nigerian English users underuse o...

Microstructural characterization, response surface modelling and multi-objective optimization of water hyacinth fibre-reinforced concrete

This study investigates the combined influence of water hyacinth fibre content (wt. % of cement) (0.5–2.0%) and fibre length (10–50 mm) on the water absorption (WA), density, and compressive strength (CS) of concrete using response surface modelling and multi-objective optimizati...

Lithogeochemistry and petrogenesis of A-type granites and associated rocks from the Tongolo area of northeastern Nigeria and implications for lead-zinc-copper mineralisation

The Nigerian Younger Granite (NYG) province hosts numerous anorogenic ring complexes that are prospective for base metal mineralisation, yet detailed lithogeochemical investigations linking petrogenesis to mineralisation controls remain sparse for many complexes in the northeaste...

Voice Voting and the Crisis of Accountability in Nigeria's National Assembly

Since the return to democratic civilian rule in 1999, Nigeria’s National Assembly has predominantly utilised unrecorded voice voting as its default mechanism for legislative decision-making. This study investigates how this persistent reliance on oral, collective voting impedes l...

Sustainable Management and Conservation of Shere Hills Forest Reserve Using Integrated GIS and Remote Sensing Techniques: A Multi-Temporal Analysis

Forest reserves are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic activities and climate-induced environmental change, necessitating robust geospatial techniques for effective monitoring and sustainable management. This study evaluated the long-term dynamics and conservation status of...

Urban Expansion and Its Effects on Land Resources and Environmental Sustainability

Urban expansion has become one of the most significant drivers of land-use change and environmental transformation worldwide, particularly in developing countries where rapid population growth and economic development have intensified pressure on limited land resources. While urb...
