    A Critical review of Zakah Management Approaches in Southwest Nigeria
    (UNILAG Press, Lagos, 2021) Oloke, M.A; Rahman, A.A
    The historical significance of Zakah and its effectiveness in combating socio-economic problems of society was demonstrated during the era of early Muslims. This is an affirmation of the effectiveness of Zakat as a veritable means of poverty alleviation and reduction. The potency of Zakah in playing this role is, first of all, contingent upon its effective collection. This paper discusses critically the challenges hindering the effective collection of Zakah and the prominent approaches in Zakat administration. In addressing the problems associated with the existing medium of Zakat collection, especially in a multi-religious environment like Southwest Nigeria, the paper proposes a holistic approach that ensures that collectable Zakah are fully tapped, through the instrumentality of massive education, payment platforms that provide friendly options, and the use of technology.

    Access to Higher Education for National Development in Nigeria: Distance Education to the Rescue
    (University of Uyo: Forum of Educational Benchmarkers, 2017-10-14) Bakare, T.V.
    The paper examined the place of Distance Education (DE) as a method of Adult Education in Nigeria and its contribution to national development. It discussed DE practice and challenges in some African countries and related this to the Nigerian situation. It further noted the challenges of the national admission body into the regular tertiary institutions with reconciling the ratio of applicants to those admitted. However, DE, which is conventionally a form of Adult Education, is fast becoming a replacement for regular higher education in its conduct. The implication of this on Adult Education practice in Nigeria is that the changes in the demographics of participants in DE, along with other challenges, affects the essence of Adult Education provision, access and conduct. The paper analyzed the concept of DE and noted that it is currently used to replace, instead of support mainstream education in Nigeria thus eroding the more desirable non-formal approach. It agreed that DE can be used as a tool, per excellence, for human and national development, if practiced in its proper context, attracting the target candidates. Suggestions proffered for better conduct of DE include mounting awareness campaigns to attract the right candidates into programs, and better provision of access to regular education for the youth to stem their influx into DE. The discourse has great implications for lifelong learning, access, national development and adult education practice in Nigeria and globally.
