    African Indigenous Knowledge Systems and the World
    (Springer Nature Switzerland, 2022) Ayeni, A.O.; Aborisade, A.G.
    Almost all cultures have bits of knowledge that have profound relevance that is enshrined in its historical contributions to the people’s livelihood and sustainability for centuries. From this perspective, it is therefore dangerous, if not oppressive, to hail any one method of investigation as universal. Furthermore, Knowledge is not exclusive to any race, tribe, or ethnic nationality; rather, it is a product of capability, intelligence, diligence, ingenuity, and endurance. Similarly, the solution to a problem is not necessarily unilateral; it could come from diverse sources; hence it has become cogent that knowledges from multiple sources be examined and tested to gauge their applicability in ameliorating the many emerging challenges that represent worries for mankind. The issue at hand has made it compulsory for humanity to refrain from any egos contest and embrace Knowledge irrespective of where it emanates. As discussed on the pages of this paper, African Indigenous knowledge is one such rich source of Knowledge that represents workable solutions on a variety of issues that have been tried, tested, and certified as excellent. Therefore, it will be criminal to keep ignoring this Knowledge without making concerted efforts at applying it to checkmate some of the self-created debacles that threaten our continuous existence.

    Carrying capacity and infrastructural development in Peri-Urban areas in Developing Nation: A Case of Nigeria
    (Department of Political Science, University of Lagos, Nigeria, 2018) Ayeni, A.O.; Daramola, A.O.; Aborisade, A.G.
    Resource Carrying Capacity refers to the number of individuals who can be supported within the natural resource limits in an area sustainably in the interest of the present/future generations in order to avoid unacceptable negative impacts. Infrastructures required in the peri-urban areas are no different from that of the urban centres and vary from roads to water, health care facilities to waste disposal facilities, electricity to educational infrastructure amongst others. The difference however is the fact that growth and development in the Nigerian peri-urban areas is usually unmonitored and the true picture of the activities is not often captured. In conclusion, the study underscores the best practise challenges and policy recommendation for sustainable peri-urban infrastructural development
