This paper's goal is to undertake a critical evaluation of Nigerian democracy's speed, practices, patterns, priorities, issues, and future. Although Nigeria is still run by democratically elected officials, after a century as a political entity, Nigeria has yet to institutionalize democracy at the federal and state levels. After more than 50 years of political independence, the study examines some of the challenges Nigeria faces in institutionalizing democracy. These include the nation's colonial past mixed with the whims of deeply ingrained ethnicity; a smug and extravagant leadership; the military's constant meddling in the democratic process; electoral fraud; widespread poverty; and a high rate of illiteracy. According to the publication, corruption is the main cause of most of the aforementioned issues and has essentially taken on a life of its own in Nigeria. However, the study argues that despite the aforementioned, there is still hope for a politically secure and democratically viable People's enthusiasm to vote, the multi-party system's relative stability and sustainability, and the widespread recognition that the only legitimate and well-liked path to gaining political power is through the voting booth are what define the nation. The historical approach of data analysis—simple descriptive collation and analysis of historical data—is used in this paper, which draws its data from primary and secondary source materials. 

The study looked into how Nigeria's democratic system's economic growth was impacted by the cost of governance. The cost of governance factors is divided into general GDP was the dependent variable and a stand-in for economic growth, while administration, defense, internal security, and national assembly were the explanatory variables. The study examined Nigeria's fourth republic's civil rule from 2019 to 2024. Ordinary Least Square regression and diagnostic tests were performed. The findings indicate that while internal security (-106.17 ISEC) has a negative impact on GDP, general administration (8.67 GA), defense (169.99 DEF), and national assembly (496.50 NAS) have favorable effects. According to the hypotheses' summary, (1) the federal government's expenditure on general administrations has no discernible positive impact on Nigeria's economic growth; (2) the federal government's expenditure on defense has a discernible positive impact on Nigeria's economic growth; and (3) the federal government's expenditure on internal Nigeria's economic growth is significantly impacted negatively by security, whereas the country's economic growth is significantly impacted positively by the federal government's national assembly costs. The research suggested, among other things, that the funds allocated to internal security be examined and that cost-benefit studies be performed on the parastatals that receive the funds.

The purpose of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) of Abuja is to implement government directives in order to achieve national development goals. To accomplish this, recruitment and retention strategies in the civil service (CS) play a crucial role in providing the human resources needed. This study empirically investigates the recruitment and retention strategies applied in the FCT. The study utilized a survey method by distributing questionnaires to civil servants and conducting structured interviews to collect the necessary data to achieve the research objectives. To analyze the collected data, the study used the chi-square analytical technique. The findings reveal that the recruitment strategy in the CS is based on a combination of political and merit-based factors. Regarding employee retention, the study found that the CS has implemented relatively effective incentives to retain its workforce. However, while these incentives are sufficient for short-term retention, they are inadequate to retain skilled employees compared to the incentives offered by private companies. The recommendations from this study suggest that, in order to maintain a skilled workforce and enhance performance, the CS must implement more competitive incentives that are comparable to those offered by the private sector in order to attract and retain the best talent in the long run.

The results of the study show that the success of talent management for the millennial generation is greatly influenced by the integration of digital technology, personalization of development programs, and work flexibility. Organizational and leadership support, along with a culture that supports innovation and collaboration, are critical factors in increasing engagement and talent retention. The research also identified key challenges such as the generation gap and the complexity of measuring program effectiveness. An effective talent management model requires a holistic approach that aligns the various components of the system, supported by comprehensive metrics for program impact evaluation. These findings make a significant contribution to the development of talent management practices that are adaptive to the needs of the millennial generation

Science and technology became something that developed very rapidly in the classical period and Islamic civilization. And this proves that epistemology developed at that time. Even though in the past Muslim scholars studied a lot in the field of Islamic civilization, with their epistemology they were able to provide the best in the field of science and technology and develop it to all corners of the world. Technology is a source of information today. It is necessary to know that the hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad contain many Hadiths about Science and Technology. What is contained in the hadith is mentioned implicitly in the rules of explanation of creed and faith. That is why, hadith will always coexist with the development of the times and there will be no conflict between the two forever. The "Hadith-Hadith Science" application is research that uses the R&D (Research and Development) method and in its development uses the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development and Evaluation) method.  Then this application was developed via the Kodular.Io website which can be accessed on Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Google. This application contains 40 selected hadith themes about Science in hadith. By developing the "Scientific Hadiths" application, researchers hope that this application can be useful for users.

This research is motivated by the fact that there are differences in the application of the Guided Note Taking (GNT) strategy, Civics teachers only apply two stages of the GNT strategy, namely the opening stage in the form of the teacher rechecking the handout he has made, and the core activity stage in the form of distributing handouts, explaining how to do it, delivering material, and filling in teaching materials (handouts). Civics teachers often do not always carry out the closing stage in the form of reflection and evaluation of learning due to limited time in the learning process. This research methodology uses qualitative research. Data collection techniques were carried out by observation, interviews, and document studies. The results of the study revealed that 1) The opening stage in the GNT strategy carried out in Civics learning in class VB, namely: opening learning with greetings and reading prayers together, checking the readiness of students, making apperceptions, conveying learning objectives, and preparing student record sheets. 2) The core activity stage in the GNT strategy, namely: distributing the note sheet, explaining how to fill in the note sheet, delivering the lesson material, and reading the completed note sheet. 3) The closing stage in the GNT strategy, namely: conducting evaluation, reflecting, giving conclusions, and closing the lesson by reading the prayer after learning together and giving greetings. However, evaluation and reflection activities are not carried out at any time due to time constraints in the learning process.

The objective of this study is to empirically assess the tactics that the CBN of Nigeria has implemented as the key component of the new naira note policy. The research employed a survey design with a sample size of about fifty (50) responders, comprising accountants and auditors from ten (10) ministries chosen from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) of Abuja, Nigeria. At the 5% significant level, the hypotheses are tested using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The study's conclusions showed a strong association between forensic accounting and the litigation support service provided by Nigerian courts, as well as the effectiveness of forensic accounting in the country's public sector in identifying fraud. In a similar vein, the CBN of Nigeria uses techniques and policies that work well to stop fraud. Therefore, the study suggests that the public sector implement a continuous improvement in the internal control officers responsible for their acts. It should be mandatory for forensic accountants to receive the necessary training in forensic accounting techniques. In order to lower the prevalence of fraudulent activities in Nigeria, public sector employees should also embrace honesty, accountability, fairness, and objectivity as fundamental moral obligations. This study contributes to the existing literature by highlighting the critical role of forensic accounting in enhancing transparency and accountability within the Nigerian public sector, ultimately fostering a more robust financial environment.

The need for urban communities to consume vegetables is increasing. This has caused people to start cultivating vegetables using hydroponic techniques. However, due to their busy activities, they do not have enough time to monitor and control hydroponics, which must always be in ideal conditions. This paper designs and implements an Internet of Things-based monitoring system to help hydroponic owners monitor their hydroponics anywhere and anytime. The built system requires a monitoring device assembled using a NodeMCU ESP8266 microcontroller, a pH detection detector sensor, and a DHT22 temperature and humidity sensor. This system uses the Mamdani Fuzzy Logic algorithm to determine warnings to be displayed on the application interface when the water pH, temperature, and humidity are in certain conditions. The Mamdani Fuzzy Logic algorithm can interpret environmental data into a warning that humans can easily understand, even if they lack technical expertise. In addition to being able to help monitor, this system also allows owners to find out what elements need to be added or changed for their hydroponic place. Our evaluation results show that the defuzzification stage in the application has high accuracy, which is 99.92%, compared to Matlab’s results.
