The year 2018 marked the 40th anniversary of the founding of the ASUU. As has been seen, during these forty years, Nigeria had experienced a great deal of political and societal unrest, and by any standards the history of the ASUU has been an eventful one. The formation of ASUU came at a time when the oil boom in Nigeria was beginning to decline and when the country was faced with the consequences of the failure of its rulers to utilize oil wealth to support production and a credible welfare system. Military dictatorship had become institutionalized and had eroded many fundamental freedoms in the society. ASUU‟s establishment in 1978 was mainly driven by the need to address the deterioration of education in the country especially under the military rule but the timing of the formation of the union is also indicative of the fact that it emerged into what was already a highly politicized environment. The paper is a review and an opinion based which assesses the relationship of ASUU with Military and Democratic regimes vis-à-vis the government education policies and the application and or respect for institutional autonomy of universities by various regimes in Nigeria. The paper found that ASUU struggles remained and continue to feature irrespective of the different regimes in Nigeria. It also concludes based on available historical records that the military regimes have had a more preponderance of abuse of universities administrative autonomy in comparison with democratic regimes.

The fundamentalists often perceive that Islam and its principles are a hindrance to innovation. Relevant, extensive research proved otherwise. For example, a comparison of research on innovation in the Islamic and non-Islamic perspective was made, which verified that Islam does promote innovation. As this is a content analysis paper, it is important to acknowledge that there are five types of innovation in Islamic banking. They are Islamic financial product innovation, Islamic bank process innovation, Islamic bank marketing innovation, innovation and risk management in Islamic finance, and Islamic work value and innovation. After comparing with research on innovation in the non-Islamic perspective, it was found that there is still a lack of protection for the innovation and the Islamic perspective also lack measures for the innovation.

With drastic advances in information technology, many new social media platforms have been created, such as Facebook and LINE. As firms search for competitive advantages in using these platforms to consolidate old consumers and attract new customers, this research examines two major characteristics of brand community: Brand Community Integration & Consumer Acceptance and Use of Information Technology. We observe how Brand Community Characteristics influence Brand Loyalty and test the mediating effect of Brand Community Identity. An empirical survey investigates the LINE community and shows that Brand Community Characteristics and Brand Community Identity both significantly increase Brand Loyalty and that Brand Community Identity has a mediating effect between Brand Community Characteristics and Brand Loyalty. Results herein suggest that enterprises should obtain members’ identity in the community first before building up their Brand Loyalty.

This research was carried out to examine the leadership styles used by the District and Municipal Assemblies (MMDA‟s) in the Upper East Region of Ghana to implement their programmes and projects to the benefit of the people. The Builsa District Assembly was used as a case study. The objectives of the study were to find out the extent to which the respondents understood the meaning of leadership, the types of leadership styles exhibited, and the relationship that exists between employees and management.

Scholars observes a sharp decline in the research productivity of academics in terms of the number of articles published in Nigeria from 1980-1989 and 1990-1999 based on an analysis of 21 core Nigerian Library and Information Science (LIS) journals indexed in Social Science Citation Index database. They also observe that Nigeria has the highest proportion of rejected papers in Africa out of the papers submitted to the African Journal of Library, Archives and Information Science (AJLAIS) for publication. In an attempt to reinforce the notion of a low publication output in Africa, the UNESCO Statistical Yearbook which reports that 55 titles are being published per one million readers in the developing world as against the 487 titles per one million readers in the developed world. In the same vein, while reporting on low research output in Nigerian universities, The World Education News and Review (2006), states that Nigerian academics’ research output is relatively low. The report shows that out of over 70 universities in the country as at the time of the study, only 20 were found to have performed creditably well in terms of academic research production. This view has been corroborated by Agarin and Nwagwu (2006), to the effect that in 2005, Nigeria was ranked next to the least of the countries in the world with the evidence of scientific research. The paper historically reviewed the determinants of research productivity among Nigerian researchers. It concludes based on available statistics that Nigerian scholars’ position in terms of their contribution to international acceptable journals has continued to remain low. The paper urged the government of Nigeria to create the necessary institutional framework and support that will enable Nigerian academics to enhance their productivity.

Projects are a means by which new and improved products and services can be delivered. In today‟s digital, real-time marketplace, it is important that organizations are able to deliver products and services to market as quickly and efficiently as possible. A sequential approach to project delivery does not support change and is perceived as cumbersome and slow to deliver. In contrast, agile project delivery is adaptive and flexible. The agile approach to project delivery supports a differing mindset. A mindset that is focused on growth and delivery, in short manageable components, embracing and not rejecting change. Working within an agile project delivery framework is different, and requires project team members and participants to embrace a new way of working. A way of working that is focused on delivery through collaboration, and less of an emphasis on documentation.
