- ItemM-Learning in Nigerian Universities: Challenges and Possibilities(2012-05) Titus A. Umoru, Phd. & Okeke, A. U., Phd,M-learning is constantly opening paths that are transforming our way of living, learning and communicating. M-learning has significantly diminished barriers, especially, of distance and space, as a result of which lectures can now be delivered for the benefit of people across countries and continents. This is what globalization aims at achieving – to bring about increasing relationships of culture, people and economic activity. The university students in Nigeria could pursue the goal of achieving a range of experiences offered by m-learning and become competent. Obviously, the use of mobile and portable devices for learning has capabilities to inspire new approaches to learning. The possibilities are limitless and need to be fully explored. This paper fully exposed the kinds of interactions which students in Nigerian universities could exploit using various mobile technologies that have also been fully treated in this work. Even though the challenges of adopting m-learning in Nigerian universities are enormous, it is expected that the first step for the university administrators and teachers would be the modification of the existing curriculum to cater for the context of learning which refers to the learner and the environment. We believe that the demand for graduates with m- learning skills would increase and this represents a unique way of tackling unemployment in Nigeria.

Nwabufo, B.N., & Mamman, J.S.The biggest challenges of Nigeria today are youth unemployment.

Therefore, this paper discusses entrepreneurship education and unemployment reduction in Nigeria, problems facing entrepreneurship education and its graduate and ways of addressing this problem so that our national and human resources will be properly employed for economic emancipation, so as to turn our youths into job creators and not job seekers.

- ItemComparative analysis of personal life choices and leadership work styles of unit leaders in Business teacher education in Nigeria in use of social media(The School of Graduate Studies, Research & Entrepreneurship [SGSRE] University of Technology, Jamaica, 2017) Morrison, J.L., Oladunjoye, G.T., Oyedele, J.F., Ademiluyi, L.F., Mamman, J.S & Ogundele I.SBased on a survey submitted to business teacher educators in 5 post-secondary educational institutions in Nigeria, unit leaders are perceived as having a capacity to lead their colleagues in their innovative efforts to enhance current instructional delivery systems. In this regard, personal lifestyle choices of unit leaders in terms of using social media and technology are generally perceived as being assimilated into their work styles and priorities for their programs. Business teacher educators perceive their unit leaders as being receptive to their ideas, willing to work with them on innovative endeavors, and exhibiting a participatory leadership work style. A discrepancy between unit leaders’ personal preferences towards aspects of social media and current awareness of these preferences by business teacher educators themselves may be an inhibiting factor in advancing social media use in the classroom. is discrepancy may be evident in other teacher training programs throughout the continent of Africa, resulting in social media currently being marginally implemented. Addressing this discrepancy may result in accelerating the integration of social media use in the classroom.
