Item PUBLIC PERCEPTION OF VIGILANTISM IN THE FIGHT AGAINST HIGHWAY CRIME IN MORO LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA, KWARA STATE, NIGERIA(2022) Saka,L; Busari,D; Ahmed,Y.BThis paper examines public perception of the effectiveness of Moro Community Vigilante Group (MCVG) in the fight against crimes along major highways that run through Moro Local Government Area, Kwara State. This study employs the mixed method research design utilizing both the quantitative and qualitative research designs using questionnaire, in - depth interview and focus group discussion. The respondents were selected through a purposive sampling technique and the participant exclusion criterion was used to recruit and prepare the participants. Key individuals who are familiar with the topic were nominated. The study reveals that the MCVG is a useful tool for curbing highway crimes in Moro Local Government Area, Kwara State, Nigeria. However, the study also discovers some major challenges undermining the effectiveness of the MCVG in the prevention against highway crimes and other related crimes in the region. Thus, the study recommends that there is the need to strengthen the supervisory capacity of the Nigerian Police Force so that it can effectively monitor the activities of vigilante groups and proactively respond to distress calls from these irregular security outfits. There is also the need for government support in the areas of training and basic operational equipment. Above all, there is need for the urgent rehabilitation of the roads that run through the council areas connecting Ilorin, the state capital to Kwara North Senatorial District and the rest of Southwest Nigeria up to Northern NigeriaItem physical disability is a measure(Department of sociolgy,Osun State universtiy,Osogbo, 2020) Busari,D; Baruwa,LPhysical disability is a measurable limitation that interferes with a person's physical or rnental impairment that is long term or recurring and limits substantially their potentials of entry intp and advancement in employment. The degree of the limitation is often dependent on the form of impairment, as well as the resilience of both the individual and society.

Result indicated that institutional facilities or support put in placc: f o ~ students with physical disabilities in tertiary institutions are often inadequate, and at other times, entirely non-existent, forcing them to depend on the good will of non-disabled peers to get by.Item Transactional politics: the manifestations of the challenges of 'infrastructure of the stomach' and 'infrastructure for the stomach' in Nigeria(2020) Busari,DIn Nigeria, the politics of poverty and the poverty of politics seem to have coalesced to produce a phenomenon known as 'infrastructure of the stomach' in the polity. Infrastructure of the stomach is a politically induced lexicon that gives a diametrically opposed verdict of representation and empowerment. 'Stomach infrastructure' is a reality projected by the Nigerian politicians on the vulnerable electorate who for poverty are encouraged to mortgage their fundamental right of freedom to choose who governs them in exchange for immediate gratification in monetary, food, or other material terms. The literal import of the transactional terminology of 'stomach infrastructure' is the moving of the meaning of infrastructure out of the context of where it is normally found and linking it with the stomach instead. The contradiction generated by the contending forces of 'infrastructure of the stomach' and 'infrastructure for the stomach' is seemingly based on a play on words and plurality of ideologies that takes the meaning of infrastructure out of the context of where it is normally found, linking it instead with the stomach. But the source of its impact is not merely and only linguistic; more properly, it is socio-economic. This binary thinking and nuance dominate, dictate and energise the structure of the Nigeria electoral process; it is either a support for stomach infrastructure which invariably can stand for vote-buying or support for infrastructure of the stomach that may translate to theoverall development of the entire social structure and systemItem Contemporary issues in social research(Ibadan University Press, Publishing House, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria, 2020) Busari,DItem Migration: Identity Construction and Reconstruction(Faculty of arts,Obafemi Awolowo University,Ile-ife,Osun State,Nigeria., 2020) Busari,D; Mekoa,DItem Migration: Identity Construction and Reconstruction(Institute for peace and strategic studies,university of Ibadan,Ibadan,Nigeria, 2020) Busari,D; Mekoa,D
