Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs and the Quest for Unity of Muslim Ummah in Nigeria

Abstract
 The emergence of Islamic organizations during the colonial era caused disunity among the Muslim Ummah in Nigeria. The quest to coordinate the affairs of these organizations and to unite the Muslim Ummah nationally under one umbrella led to the establishment of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) in 1973. This study, therefore, examines the role of NSCIA in addressing the challenges of disunity confronting the Muslim Ummah in Nigeria. Data were collected from oral interviews, questionnaires and secondary sources. A multidisciplinary approach was adopted using a combination of historical, phenomenological and sociological methods of data analysis. The theoretical framework is built on the theory of Asabiyyah by Ibn Khaldun and the theory of structural functionalism. The study discovered that the need to protect Islamic faith from colonial influence gave rise to the emergence of Islamic organizations in Nigeria. It is also discovered that Nigerian Muslims are divided along ethnic, regional and organizational lines. The study shows that despite the establishment of NSCIA in 1973, to foster unity, there are still issues bothering on disunity among the Muslim Ummah in Nigeria. Perpetuation and nothernization of the council's leadership is discovered to be a factor responsible for the inefficiency of the Council to unite the Ummah. This work recommends a review of the constitution of NSCIA for effectiveness. It also suggests rotation of its headship and that serious effort should be made by the Council at cultivating the spirit of unity among Muslims Ummah.

Corporate Governance and the Management of Public Corporations: A Study of Akwa Ibom Water Company Limited

This study examined the corporate governance process and management of public corporations in Akwa Ibom State regarding Akwa Ibom Water Company Limited (AKWCL), its problem of non-compliance with Codes of Corporate Governance which resulted in low performance of the company and its inability to meet the MDGs 50% targeted access to water needs of the citizens. Stakeholder and Structural Functionalism theories were adopted to analyze the functional roles of the managers and stakeholders towards improving performance. Descriptive research was employed and secondary data were analyzed contextually. The study, among others, revealed that: non-compliance to the codes/principles of corporate governance in AKWCL impacted negatively its performance in terms of the volume of water supply. Data showed 66.01% population of the state had no access to water in 2015 while 65% population had no access to water in 2021; weak internal control mechanisms such as auditing, monitoring and evaluation committees contributed to rent-seeking activities by the board of directors/managers which negatively affected access to safe water supply, profitability and investment in AKWCL. The study concluded that a good corporate governance process guarantees high performance, and recommended strict enforceability of codes of corporate governance practice in AKWCL; policy review by the board of directors of AKWCL to improve access to safe water in the state; the creation of more water distribution points and revitalisation of abandoned ones; training and re-training of the board of directors and managers on new management skills; strengthening of auditing, monitoring and evaluation committees to ensure public accountability and disclosure.

Selenoxides as Excellent Chalcogen Bond Donors: Effect of Metal Coordination.

The chalcogen bond has been recently defined by the IUPAC as the attractive noncovalent interaction between any element of group 16 acting as an electrophile and any atom (or group of atoms) acting as a nucleophile. Commonly used chalcogen bond donor molecules are divalent selenium and tellurium derivatives that exhibit two σ-holes. In fact, the presence of two σ-hole confers to the chalcogen bonding additional possibilities with respect to the halogen bond, the most abundant σ-hole interaction. In this manuscript, we demonstrate that selenoxides are good candidates to be used as σ-hole donor molecules. Such molecules have not been analyzed before as chalcogen bond donors, as far as our knowledge extends. The σ-hole opposite to the Se=O bond is adequate for establishing strong and directional ChBs, as demonstrated herein using the Cambridge structural database (CSD) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Moreover, the effect of the metal coordination of the selenoxide to transition metals on the strength of the ChB interaction has been analyzed theoretically. The existence of the ChBs has been further supported by the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) and the noncovalent interaction plot (NCIPlot).

Encapsulating Ni Nanoparticles into Interlayers of Nitrogen-Doped Nb2 CTx MXene to Boost Hydrogen Evolution Reaction in Acid.

Design and development of low-cost and highly efficient non-precious metal electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in an acidic medium are key issues to realize the commercialization of proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers. Ni is regarded as an ideal alternative to substitute Pt for HER based on the similar electronic structure and low price as well. However, low intrinsic activity and poor stability in acid restrict its practical applications. Herein, a new approach is reported to encapsulate Ni nanoparticles (NPs) into interlayer edges of N-doped Nb2 CTx MXene (Ni NPs@N-Nb2 CTx ) by an electrochemical process. The as-prepared Ni NPs@N-Nb2 CTx possesses Pt-like onset potentials and can reach 500mAcm-2 at overpotentials of only 383 mV, which is much higher than that of N-Nb2 CTx supported Ni NPs synthesized by a wet-chemical method (w- Ni NPs/N-Nb2 CTx ). Furthermore, it shows high durability toward HER with a large current density of 300mAcm-2 for 24 h because of the encapsulated structure against corrosion, oxidation as well as aggregation of Ni NPs in an acidic medium. Detailed structural characterization and density functional theory calculations reveal that the stronger interaction boosts the HER.

Nanocrystalline vanadium carbides as highly active catalysts on vanadium foils for high temperature hydrogen separation

Vanadium carbide (VC) was demonstrated as an effective H2 dissociation/desorption catalyst for membrane applications in high temperature hydrogen separation. Nanocrystalline VC films with rich carbon vacancies were prepared on both sides of vanadium (V) using radio frequency magnetron sputtering. Combined structural, catalytic and density functional theory (DFT) analysis suggest that carbon vacancies significantly increase the electron density around the Fermi level of VC crystals and lower the energy barrier for hydrogen catalytic reactions. Such thin VC films are highly active to H2 dissociation/desorption at high temperatures. Hence, the prepared VC/V composite membranes exhibit much higher hydrogen permeability than commercially used Pd at evaluated temperatures, particularly 8.2 × 10-8 mol H2 m−1 s−1 Pa−0.5 at 700 °C (2.5 times that of Pd). These findings open a new way towards the development of non-Pd hydrogen separation membranes for sustainable hydrogen technology.

THE SITUATION OF DISABLED CHILDREN IN FAMILIES AT RISK: A SOCIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS

The article is devoted to the study of the possibilities of a sociological research of the situation of child disability and family at risk. The author analyzes the growing indicators of child disability in Russia: the number of children with disabilities, distribution by sex and age, nosology, the level of disability in the regions of the Russian Federation, as well as indicators of inclusion (visiting educational organizations, leisure activities). The assessment of the indicators representing satiation of families at risk is carried out on the basis of the deprivation methodology of the Institute of Socio-Economic Problems of the Population of the Russian Academy of Sciences (income level, living conditions, pedagogical and social competence of parents, consumption of educational, medical, social services, psychological climate in the family). The author comes to the conclusion that a theoretical study of the position of a disabled child in a family at risk can be carried out within the framework of the structural-functional theory, structuralism theories, theory of social conflicts, symbolic interactionism, social constructivism, phenomenology and ethnomethodology, behaviorism, neo-Freudianism, etc., which provides wide opportunities for building a theoretical model of the mutual influence of family dysfunction and child disability. The article also presents the results of a secondary analysis of data from a public opinion survey on child disability obtained by questionnaire survey (N = 1618) and in-depth interviews (N = 16). The author presents the results of his own empirical research: a questionnaire survey of specialists working with families of disabled children (N = 101, respondents are employees of educational, medical, social organizations) and interviews of social workers (N = 9, respondents are employees of social service organizations). Based on the analysis of the collected data on the situation within the family, the author derives the modal characteristics of a family at risk and the position of a disabled child in it. As important factor of social exclusion, the author calls the isolation of the family, its closeness and obstruction of interventions by social protection institutions.
