This study examined the prospects of information and communication technology in teaching and learning writing skills. The world is globally connected through ICT, hence the need to implement it in schools. Tools, such as word processing software, online writing platforms and digital feedback systems, influence students’ writing performance. The study affirms that ICT can positively function in teaching and learning writing skills, sentence and paragraph development by providing opportunities for collaborative learning, instant feedback and self –assessment, however, challenges such as, digital distractions and lack of access to technology have been observed. It recommended that, teachers should create their instruction using diverse interesting ICT materials and expose learners to friendly ICT environment. In conclusion, the paper emphasized the need for effective integration of ICT in writing instruction for better performance

The impact of alcohol consumption on the liver and kidney functions remains a critical area of investigation, particularly concerning oxidative stress-induced damage. This study examines the effects of chronic alcohol exposure on the liver and kidney tissues of adult male Sprague-Dawley rats and evaluates the potential protective role of glutathione, a key antioxidant. Rats were divided into control, alcohol-exposed, and alcohol-exposed with glutathione supplementation groups. Chronic alcohol administration was used to induce oxidative stress, and glutathione was administered to assess its protective effects. Biochemical assays were conducted to measure markers of liver and kidney injury, including serum transaminases, creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). Additionally, histopathological examination of liver and kidney tissues was performed to assess structural damage. The results demonstrated significant increase (p<0.05) in liver and kidney injury markers in alcohol-exposed rats, accompanied by histopathological alterations such as hepatocellular necrosis and renal tubular degeneration. However, glutathione supplementation attenuated these changes, reducing oxidative stress and mitigating organ damage. These findings highlight the detrimental effects of alcohol on kidney and liver function and suggest that glutathione may serve as a potential therapeutic agent for protecting against alcohol-induced organ toxicity.

In Nigeria’s creative economy, the nexus of sustainable fashion entrepreneurship and artificial intelligence (AI) offered a developing chance for youth empowerment. However, little is known about how much AI adoption affected young fashion designers’ environmental sustainability and entrepreneurial preparedness. This study examined how the adoption of AI affected the entrepreneurial growth of young people working in fashion design companies in Lagos State, Nigeria, paying special attention to how AI promoted environmentally friendly business practices. Through stratified and purposive sampling, 150 respondents were chosen from Lagos’s fashion design hubs, innovation centres, and vocational schools. Using a descriptive survey design, information was gathered via questionnaires and interviews. The tools evaluated AI integration, entrepreneurial readiness, and eco-friendly design practices. The data were analysed using both descriptive (mean and standard deviation) and inferential (Pearson correlation and linear regression) statistics. The findings revealed a significant predictive effect of AI use on the capacity to apply sustainable design practices (β = .61, p < .01) and a strong positive relationship between AI adoption and entrepreneurial readiness (r = .67, p < .01). These results demonstrated how AI tools like digital sketching, virtual prototyping, and predictive analytics can revolutionise innovation and green entrepreneurship. The study, which was guided by Schumpeter's Innovation Theory, showed that students' perceptions of the utility and usability of AI tools influenced the integration of AI in fashion education, which in turn encouraged creativity and "creative destruction." The ability of young people to engage in eco-conscious fashion entrepreneurship was found to be greatly enhanced by customised AI-driven interventions. In order to enhance sustainable development through creative enterprise, the study suggested policy support, capacity building, and the integration of AI literacy.

The study investigates the mindfulness and emotional intelligence as mediating factors of psychological security among university students in Nigeria. The study was guided with three research questions and hypotheses. The study adopted a descriptive research design of correlation type. A total of 306 University students were selected using purposive sampling technique. Three instruments were administered on mindfulness and emotional intelligence and psychological security, which were validated by two experts. The reliability of the instruments is SMQ, EIQ and SPSQ has 0.72, 0.78 and 0.69 respectively. Multiple Regression Analysis and Pearson Product Moment Statistic were used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings showed that the level of the mindfulness, emotional intelligence and psychological security were high among University students. All independent variables jointly accounted for 63.6% variance in predicting psychological security among University students in Katsina state. Also, mindfulness (β = .771; p<0.05) and emotional intelligence (β = .169; p<0.05) had relative contributions to psychological security. Also, the findings showed that mindfulness (r = .781; p<0.05) and emotional intelligence (r = .781; p<0.05) had significant relationship to psychological security among University students in Katsina state. The study recommended that there is need to improve students' awareness (mindfulness) and emotional stability that can help with communication channels and strategic alignment in psychological security.
