The beauty of democracy is that it enables the electorate to determine who governs them. Elections offer them that privilege of choosing their leaders. But when elections are not credible, free and fair these lofty objectives could not be achieved. It is only credible, free and fair elections where the will of majority prevails that will guarantee good governance cum sustainable development. This is because politicians will be on their toes to deliver good governance as that is the only thing that earn them their positions. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Many a time votes do not count and the will of majority do not prevail. Judiciary many a times are handicapped in addressing injustices done during election as cases are always decided based on available evidence. This paper focuses on the how ICT can be applied to ensure credible election.

The researcher of this case study conducted an investigation of ‘teaching and learning in higher education perspective: challenges and solutions with the purpose of to identify the critical problems at facultyof social sciences of UoB GC, and along with a viable proposal forsolving the said the problems.the researched derived this specific problem from a cluster of problems through observation and interviewing some of the top administration of the University including the office of academics, deans, Social Science Faculty staff and so forth to draw a concreate justification to the critical problem out of the general one and then draw a viable solution to the said problem. these includes: 1. An insufficiency ofinstructional materials for teaching and learning; 2. Lacking regional and/or international accreditation; 3. Aninadequate infrastructure; 4. Decline inStudent Enrollment; 5. COVID-19 Impact; 6. Skill gap in teaching and learning education model; 7. Financial Difficulties; 8. Lacking quality control mechanism in place; 9. Poor knowledge in information and communication technology; and 10. Unstructured social responsibility response. Consequently, the most critical problem was considered ‘the insufficient instructional materials of higher education institution, particularly the University of Bosaso’ and these factors such as 1. Very limited of qualified higher education lecturers; 2. Absence of University examination board; 3.Absence of Effective Higher Education Commission at Puntland and Federal Level; and 4.limited reading habit contribute the prevalence of said critical problem. To find out the problems along with their solutions, the researcher of this Case Study employed qualitative methods of analyzing the primary data using KII through in-dept interview and face-to-face observation with the Faculty of Social Sciences lecturers and consulted with meeting minutes reports produced at Office of Dean, the UoB faculty of Social Science as secondary data review to analyze the evidences which is about the students’ dependence on handouts during the examination settings. in conclusion, the researcher found out that viable solution is to establishwell-equippedlibrary center of both in physical and electronic managed by a qualified librarian with a full of vigorous innovations and from there to develop a comprehensive workplan with specified time bound to implement the solution by the UoBGaroowe Campus administration which provides a strategic pathway to follow while tackling the said problem.

The study used a retrospective design to examine the temporal patterns of malaria morbidity in Oyigbo LGA and investigate the relationship between temperature and rainfall on patterns of malaria morbidity in Oyigbo L.G.A. from 2007-2017. Malaria morbidity data from 2007 to 2017 were obtained from the Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response System of Rivers State Ministry of Health while temperature and rainfall records from year 2007 to 2017 were obtained from Nigeria Meteorological Agency (NIMET), Abuja. Data generated were analyzed using SPSS 22.0 and presented using descriptive and inferential statistics. A total of 43,662 malaria cases was recorded in the study area within during the study period with mean morbidity of 330.77. Mean temperature of 27.32oC and mean rainfall of 137.13mm were recorded. Temperature showed a negative relationship with malaria which was significant in the years 2012 and 2014. Rainfall and morbidity showed a positive relationship which was significant only in year 2012. Across the months, temperature and malaria morbidity showed a negative insignificant relationship. However, rainfall showed a positive and significant relationship with malaria morbidity in May. Malaria remains endemic among the local subjects in the study area. During the study period, overall study showed no significant relationship between malaria morbidity, temperature and rainfall. This is to say that climatic variables are not the major drivers of malaria morbidity in the study area. It is therefore recommended that more epidemiological studies be carried out to determine the drivers of malaria transmission to aid evidence-based interventions
