Cryptography and Encryption: Euclidโs GCD Algorithm
(Development Universal Consortia, 2010-05-01) Adeshola, A. D. and Aliu, T.
There is a strong to devise new encryption mechanisms(algorithms) that offer enhanced security assurances, and guarantee the security of information transmitted over computer networks. This has generated a lot of interest and has made cryptography an area of interest in research all over the world today. In this study, we study cryptography through the Eclid's GCD Algorithm principle.

Should Petroleum Profit Tax in Nigeria be in the Exclusive or Residual Legislative List?
(Faculty of Law, Kwara State University, Malete, 2021) *Animashaun, O.O *
The issue of the legislation and the collection of taxes on natural resource have always been a contentious issue in any political entity, more so in a federation of many nationalities with varied cultures, aspirations, religions, mores and geographies. Nigeria is a forced amalgamation of different peoples into a single collectivity. This problematic past has now given birth to a troubled present and an uncertain future with regards to the issue of ownership, legislation and taxation of petroleum resources, among other issues. The oil producing states are advocating for resource control, which vests ownership and absolute control of petroleum resources, including the levying and collection of the appropriate taxes in the affected states. The antagonist of this stance, predominantly from Northern Nigeria, unequivocally maintained that petroleum resources are national heritage, the proceeds of which must be used by all, without taking into cognizance the detrimental effect of oil exploration in the affected region. This contention has led to protest, unrest and militancy in the oil producing areas, which was ameliorated in part by military engagement, cash payments, scholarship and bursary schemes, amnesty and other palliative programmes by the Federal authorities for the militant youths and the general populace. The study looks at the Nigerian statutes and did a comparative analysis with other jurisdictions on whether the collection of petroleum profit tax should be a federal or regional affair. The study advanced reasons why the levying and collection of the tax should still be a federal affair, but with certain qualifications.

Factorization in Finite Geometry
(rsis international, 2019-05-01) S.O. Oladejo, A.D.Adeshola and A. W. Yekinni
This work centres on non-near-linear finite geometry.
In it, lines in ๐(๐) ร ๐(๐) for factorized as lines of ๐(๐๐) ร ๐๐=๐
๐(๐๐), where ๐๐โฒs are primes and ๐๐,๐๐,โฆ,๐๐ are relatively
prime. Using the method of Good[18] which was built on Chinese
remainders theorem, an isomorphism was established
between๐ฎ(๐) for ๐ a non-prime and ๐ฎ(๐๐) ๐๐=๐ where ๐๐ is a
prime.

A HYBRID EXPONENTIAL-GENERALIZED GAMMA DISTRIBUTION WITH MEAN BASES MIXING PROPORTION: THEORY AND APPLICATIONS
(FUDMA Journal of Sciences (FJS), 2026-02-04) Uchechukwu Kalu, Samuel Adewale Aderoju, Bello Ishola Sanni, Toheeb Akorede Yussuf, Adediran Dauda Adeshola and Saheed Kunle Ajibade
In our study, we propose the Exponential-Generalized Gamma Distribution (EGGD) with Mean-Based Mixing Proportion. A new hybrid survival distribution developed to overcome the limitations of existing parametric models in modeling complex hazard functions and structures. The EGGD combines the simplicity of the exponential distribution with the flexibility of the generalized gamma distribution. The analytical calculations of the distributionโs important statistical properties, namely moments, skewness, kurtosis, survival, and hazard functions, have been derived to provide further insights into the distributionโs behavior. The EGGD parameter estimation is conducted using maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). The performance of the maximum likelihood estimates was rigorously examined through a Monte Carlo simulation study. The performance measures used in the study were bias and MSE. The practicality of the Model was examined through its application to real-world lifetime data. Its performance was compared with that of other existing three-parameter and two-parameter lifetime distributions. The model adequacy is assessed using information criteria, including AIC, AICc, HQIC, and BIC. Across three datasets, the EGGD consistently exhibits superior goodness-of-fit compared to the other considered models, highlighting its flexibility and robustness as a tool for survival and reliability analysis.
