Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a public lecture to commemorate the 16th Anniversary of the "Scientific Revival Day for Africa", organized by the African Technology Policy Studies (ATPS) Network. A recapitulation of the evolution of Nigeria's Science and Technology (S & T) Policy is presented, in order to highlight certain hot issues arising from where we are coming, where we are, and where we should be going. These hot issues are linked with the priorities arising from the August/September 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) at Johannesburg, South Africa vis-à-vis Nigeria's expected leadership role in the implementation of the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD). Beyond precepts, a specific example is given of a strategic partnership initiative whose time has come, namely, a new (submerged arc) technology (for sewage recycling) and an eliminator technology (for conversion of the sewage waste into a novel non-polluting fuel called Santilli magnegas) which could make considerable impact on a myriad of African problems in the areas of ecology, environment, health, portable [i.e. potable] water and energy."--Page v.

This book was released on 2022-11-30 with total page 714 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a convergence of heterogeneous insights (from languages and literature, history, music, media and communications, computer science and information studies) which previously went their separate ways; now unified under a single framework for the purpose of preserving a unique heritage, the language. In a growing society like ours, description and documentation of human and scientific evidence/resources are improving. However, these resources have enjoyed cost-effective solutions for Western languages but are yet to flourish for African tone languages. By situating discussions around a universe of discourse, sufficient to engender cross-border interactions within the African context, this book shall break a dichotomy of challenges on adaptive processes required to unify resources to assist the development of modern solutions for the African domain.

Book excerpt: Discover Nigeria, Africa's most populous country, in this thematic encyclopedia that covers everything from geography and economics to etiquette and pop culture. Part of Bloomsbury's Understanding Modern Nations series, this volume takes readers on a tour of contemporary Nigeria, helping them better understand the country and the many cultures, religions, and ethnicities that call it home. Chapters are organized thematically, examining a variety of topics, including geography, history, government, economics, religion, ethnic and social groups, gender, education, language, etiquette, food, literature and the arts, and pop culture. Each chapter begins with an overview essay, followed by a selection of encyclopedic entries that provide a more nuanced look at that facet of modern Nigeria. The main text is supplemented with sidebars that highlight additional high-interest topics. A collection of appendices rounds out the volume, offering short vignettes of daily life in the country, a glossary of key terms, statistical data, and a list of state holidays. Once a pawn of British colonialism, today Nigeria is a sovereign nation and key player on the world stage. Its vast oil resources have made it an international powerhouse and the wealthiest country on the African continent, yet political unrest and corruption, and ethnic and religious violence continue to threaten this prosperity. Nigeria is equally rich culturally, a nation where time-honored traditions mix with contemporary influences. Explore the diversity of modern Nigeria in this concise and accessible volume.
