The sub-themes of the conference are: The COVID-19 Pandemic Culture, Arts and Creativity Evolving Curriculum for Sustainability Innovative Management Innovation in Science and Technology Nature and Health Care Legal Issues and Regulatory Frameworks Sustainability and Engineering Nexus The conference was declared open by the Vice-Chancellor of University of Lagos, Prof. Oluwatoyin Temitayo Ogundipe. The year’s conference happened to be the first virtual version of the annual conference, necessitated by the ravaging COVID-19 and the mitigation measures necessary to contain it. The sessions were run out of the Arthur Mbanefo Digital Research Center, University of Lagos, Akoka. The conference had over 200 participants which include academia from various universities within and outside Nigeria. The keynote address was delivered by Chief Dr (Mrs) Nike Akande, former Minister of Industry, Federal Republic of Nigeria and former President, Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industries. Dr Reuben Bamidele, the National Programme Office UNIDO also delivered a paper at the plenary session. A total number of 9 oral paper presentations and 150 poster presentations were made during the conference. The deliberations at the conference led to the following observations: Environment is principally the basic essential system that sustains the existence of all life forms on planet earth and the natural atmosphere is now being polluted due to man-driven and natural factors. And some of the major problems in our environment are, but not limited to air pollution, water pollution, climate change, biodiversity loss, soil degradation and deforestation which exacerbates desertification in many regions of Africa including Nigeria. Climate change is the biggest environment threat to global sustainable development. In Nigeria, climate change poses severe risk to agricultural development and food security, and the impact is expected to be brutal on the Nigerian economy considering the strategic importance of agriculture to economic output and employment. vii The manufacturing sector suffers from the effects of climate change as it represents one-fifth of domestic direct emissions. And the emergence of coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic had a serious impact on all the sectors of the economy worldwide. The impact was much felt in the educational sector. It has necessitated the need for extraordinary solutions and alternative for teaching and learning in Nigeria’s tertiary institutions. E-learning as a paradigm in developing information and communication technologies has established entirely new conditions for the handling of information in the education system. Practices such as deforestation, agriculture and infrastructural development alter land cover and can also compromise the hydrological balance of the natural environment. The present state of Vocational and Technical Education in Nigeria is below acceptable standard due to the reduced emphasis on apprenticeship training method, inadequate involvement of organised private sectors in vocational/technical education and training Industries extract raw materials from the environment, at a rate faster than it can be replenished, and often pollute the environment during exploitation and processing of these raw materials. Flowing from these observations the conference made the following recommendations: Governments need to enact and implement policies to drastically reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Further, businesses have to realise that a carbon constrained future is imminent and have to embed into their strategies the needed protocols to mitigate the effects of climate change. Farmers globally, especially those in developing economies such as Nigeria, need to adopt sustainable land management practices such as agroforestry where trees are integrated with crops, animals, or both to provide shade and natural fertilization combined with conservative agriculture methods. The country needs to move away from fossil fuels to adopt environmentally- friendly renewable energies such as solar, wind, biomass and geothermal. Government should collaborate with trainers in the use of e-learning programme to get the stakeholders in the educational system better equipped to meet the expected standard in the dissemination of online teaching. Sustainable conservation practices and good land cover management policies be established to safeguard the river basins in Nigeria. Institutions and the policy formulation process should be strengthened to enhance effective policy implementation and fast track economic growth and diversification processes in Nigeria.
