Generally, the agile development process is an incremental work process that promotes the importance of customer satisfaction, collaboration, communication, teamwork, good quality and planned follow-up practices. The paper aims to discuss these issues. This paper first presents an overview of agile methods, addresses the most relevant ones for developing library management system then discusses the utilization of these methods in the context of the development of an integrated library management system presenting the case of Kenneth Dike Library, University of Ibadan. The Kenneth Dike Library, University of Ibadan after several attempts at automating its processes since the early 90’s eventually resolved to develop an in-house Library Automation System in 2015 using agile methods. The paper refers to definite initiatives taken to improve development processes as well as discuss the benefits and challenges when applying the agile methods in order to change traditional working culture and encourage end user participation in the building process. The following elements of agility can be considered the most effective and relevant: appreciating the needs of the customers, end-user participation and satisfaction, quality assurance, ability to redesign and make decisions fast and empowering the team, eliminating of waste.

- As encounters and interactions of Nigeria with Western and Asian economic powers intensify and deepen, the Nigerian economy continues to undergo transformations. This paper explores and compares Tokunbo and Chinco economies in this transformation process. As products of processes and patterns of incorporation of Nigeria into the world-economy, Tokunbo refers to an economy that relies on trade in second-hand, imported goods from the West while the Chinco economy is a recent creation through the influx of cheap China-made goods. They are parallel economies existing alongside, but mostly dominating, the local economy whose capabilities have been largely eroded as a result of decades of being in a protracted static position as a periphery nation. Their emergence is intricately connected to the overpowering juggernaut of global capitalism and the opportunistic tendencies and resolve of local entrepreneurs and transnational traders to participate in, as well as benefit from, the deepening incorporation of local market into the world-system, even if it means doing so as low-end actors. Also, while they are characteristically distinguishable, their logic and destabilising consequences are the same in a periphery nation. This calls for a rethink and critical reflection on the value of transnational processes which is currently intensifying in the face of global systems expansion, particularly the sort of trans-nationalism that is being facilitated by China’s interest in African countries. 1 results 1

- Disputes are a part of life for living creatures, from insects to human beings. While insects or animals mayfightfor space, territory and dominance, human beings and countries fight each other for territory and may engage in war. Throughout history, differences resulting in conflict were resolved, are still being resolved and will continue to be resolved. The traditional societies settled and still settle family disputes without interference from and invitation to the third parties who are not members of that family. The dominance of the British through colonization introduced cultures hitherto unknown into many societies. This also included a justice system foreign to the people. Litigation was one of such. The taking of a dispute out of the family or community jurisdiction, to a court that is set up by the state was introduced and adopted. Litigation was adopted as a process with its advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantages and the problems in litigation brought about a search for an alternative. These alternatives are not totally free of problems but are more acceptable in respect to certain types of cases, than litigation. It is therefore an alternative to litigation. People who have a common identity tend to stay together to build unified societies and nations. However, there are situations that may make it difficult or impossible for people to stay together. In such situations, if actions are not promptly taken to resolve the issues, there may be conflict. This paper looks at the concepts of conflict and conflict resolution, peace in the midst of conflict and the efforts that are made at nation building. The paper, through the use of case studies to support a preposition, suggests that the use of alternatives dispute resolution (ADR) methods in some cases, through the establishment of a grounded ADR structure in place, to resolve conflict rather than the use of litigation may be a solution to nation building. 1 results 1
- Electoral security, peace, law and order are critical factors that facilitate effective voters’ participation in elections in particular and meaningful engagement in democratic processes in general. Unfortunately, electoral processes in Nigeria are characterised by high level of violence, most times culminating in the loss of lives and destruction of property. In light of the foregoing, this paper interrogated the rising phenomenon of elections related violence and its implications on voters’ participation in the 2019 elections in Ogun state, Nigeria. Our interrogation of the nation’s politic clearly revealed that the rising level of violence before, during and after elections was largely due to theprebendal nature of the nation’s politics. Predictably, the violence and high level of insecurity that characterised the 2019 political campaigns and elections in Ogun State, Nigeria negatively affected the level of voters’ participation in the political process. This paper concluded that the essence of democratic governance is realisable largely within the context of popular political participation and thus recommended the need to rejig the nation’s electoral system and politics towards promoting electoral security and good governance. 1 results 1
