Getting Higher Institution Leadership ight: Sparks from Ethical Essentials
(Kampala International University, Kampala, Uganda, 2014-06-12) Onyene, V. E.; Iriobe, C.
Leadership is perceived in this paper as a social process and, or a group-based activity where managers working with their subordinates (followers), are charged with the functional responsibilities of having to tacitly put together their obvious personality traits such as intelligence, dominance, self-confidence, energy, activity and their task relevance knowledge in order to move their organisations to result. The paper actually took institutional management out of the traditional manual of policy and procedure observance to address fourteen ethical variables which it illustrated that when dynamically utilised would make for strategic goal attainment, internal (institutional) efficiency and overall effectiveness. Leadership is addressed as strong set of organisational behaviour which should make use of valuable principles of higher education governance. It also presented that work, interpersonal relationships and gender-based leadership-responsive ethics are necessary conditions for forming the tone of organisational quality and standard. The challenges of competitive growth and progress rating of institutional conformity to accreditable rules made the paper explore the possibility of combining the ethics of good and bad in order to make things happen for the growth and progress of Nigeria's tertiary institutions. There is also strategic in-road into how administrative crises, challenges and ethical dilemma can be used as a seven-step decision making checklist by leaders who are envisioned, group-oriented and after goal attainment.

Demographic Factor Consideration in School Location in the Next Decade
(Department of Educational Administration, University of Lagos, 1998-03-08) Onyene, V. E.
The paper highlights the importance of school plant location in the management and control of education in every country. Demographic variables are reviewed extensively as making significant inputs into school plant planning and location. Maintenance of such plants is equally perceived as inevitably crucial. Suggestions about potent survey analysis that needs to be conducted before schools are located to meet the future needs of the country are also highlighted. Recommendations are made futuristic to meet the demands of the next decade through accurate data and geographic information system.

Groundwater potential mapping in hard rock terrain using remote sensing, geospatial and aeromagnetic data, Geosystems and Geoenvironment
(ELSEVIER, 2022-07-14) Ishola, K.S; Fatoyinbo, A.A; Hamid-Mosaku, A.I; Okolie, C.J; Daramola, O.E; Lawal, T.O
The need for water security in different regions of the world has led to the deployment of remote sensing (RS) and geographic information systems (GIS) as decision support tools with geophysical methods. In this study, the remote sensing, geospatial and aeromagnetic data were integrated for mapping the groundwa- ter potential at the University of Ilorin, Nigeria in West Africa. Several remote sensing and geospatial datasets (geomorphology, lineament density, slope, rainfall, land use/land cover, soil type and drainage density) were enhanced, weighted, prioritised and ranked using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) technique. Subsequently, the thematic datasets were integrated into a GIS platform to produce a ground- water potentiality zonation (GWPZ) map. Visualisation of the corrected aeromagnetic data was improved by using some image enhancement techniques (filters) to produce the magnetic anomaly maps that re- vealed gross and subtle subsurface features. Multiple validation of the GWPZ map was achieved using the magnetic anomalies maps, borehole groundwater potential indices (GWPI) and the receiver operat- ing characteristic (ROC) curves. The GWPZ map generated was classified into three groundwater potential classes with different spatial distributions. These include moderate (60.6%), high (5.9%), and low (33.5%). The magnetic anomalies maps agreed well with the remotely sensed models through surface-subsurface lineaments superposition. The area under curve (AUC) of the ROC showed that the predictive rate of the GWPZ model was 0.73. This value suggested that the model satisfactorily predicted the groundwater po- tential of the study area. Thus, this present study demonstrated the relevance of geospatial and geophys- ical techniques for regional groundwater potential mapping at the assessment phase of integrated water resources management towards providing a better understanding of the hydrogeology for easy decision- making and better groundwater management
