These guides compare educational systems from around the world to educational standards in Canada. The assessment recommendations contained in the guides are based on extensive research and well documented standards and criteria. This research project, a first in Canada, is based on a broad range of international resources and considerable expertise within the IQAS program. Organizations can use these guides to make accurate and efficient decisions regarding the recognition of international credentials. The International Education Guides serve as a resource comparing Alberta standards with those of other countries, and will assist all those who need to make informed decisions, including: • employers who need to know whether an applicant with international credentials meets the educational requirements for a job, and how to obtain information comparing the applicant’s credentials to educational standards in Alberta and Canada • educational institutions that need to make a decision about whether a prospective student meets the education requirements for admission, and that need to find accurate and reliable information about the educational system of another country • professional licensing bodies that need to know whether an applicant meets the educational standards for licensing bodies The guides include a country overview, a historical educational overview, and descriptions of school education; higher education; professional, technical, vocational education; teacher education, grading scales, documentation for educational credentials and a bibliography. The guides also include placement recommendations for comparison and application in Alberta, Canada.

The study examines the Internet usage and regulations in Niger Delta University Libraries. The descriptive research design was used for this study. 404 Internet users were randomly selected from the libraries on three campuses of Niger Delta University. The questionnaire method of data collection was employed and complemented by interviews. Findings of the study are: the Internet services in the library are functional and accessible to all users. There are no Internet regulations in the libraries. The Internet services in the library are not geared only toward educational purpose but patrons use it for other personal activities and visiting other websites as well. It is recommended that there should be an Internet regulation policy in the library. These regulations will guide students on the use of the Internet. Students should be given passwords in order to gain access to the Internet so that its usage can be monitored. I. Introduction The Internet, as an information source, is uniquely important to the library. It allows the library to provide information beyond the confines of its own collections. Libraries provide the Internet access to support the teaching, learning, and research activities. However, information on the Internet may be outdated, biased, inaccurate, unreliable or restricted for access. Good 1 Chinese Librarianship: an International Electronic Journal, 31.
  • Towards Effective Enforcement Mechanism of Trademark Rights Infringement in Nigeria

    Towards Effective Enforcement Mechanism of Trademark Rights Infringement in Nigeria

    Towards Effective Enforcement Mechanism of Trademark Rights Infringement in Nigeria Abounu Peter Onyilo Abstract One of the vital ways in which the development of the Nigerian economy can be achieved is through the instrumentality of trademark as a component of intellectual property (IP). There are comprehensive legislations for the protection of trademark but that cannot be true of effective enforcement mechanism of trademark in the event of infringement in Nigeria. Therefore, this work is aimed at examining the enforcement of trademark rights infringement in Nigeria. The key objective of the study was to ascertain the extent to which the available enforcement mechanisms have dissuaded the infringement of trademark rights in Nigeria. This paper adopted doctrinal research methodology approach. The main sources of information and data collection for this study were the relevant statutes, case laws, textbooks, articles and the internet. The article found that trademark infringement has caused unprecedented economic haemorrhage, underdeveloped potentials, hindered capacity for job creation and poverty in Nigeria as the available trademark enforcement mechanisms appear not to have adequately deterred trademark infringers. The work recommended inter alia, for legislative intervention, strong judicial system and inter-agency synergy to curb the trademark infringement menace in Nigeria. Keywords: Trademarks, Passing-off, Protection, Infringement, Enforcement. 1. Introduction Intellectual Property (IP) is an umbrella term for a set of intangible assets or assets that are not physical in nature. The concept of IP relates to the fact that certain products of human intellects should be afforded the same protective rights that apply to physical property, which are called tangible assets1.

Research Article Inadequate Funding as the Bane of Tertiary Education in Nigeria Isaac Oluranti Famurewa Department of Economics, Oduduwa University, Ipetumodu, Ile-Ife, Nigeria. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT History and growth of the University system started in 1948 with establishment of the University College Ibadan (now University of Ibadan) by the British Colonial Masters. Overtime, this has grown into a three tier of system consisting of Federal, State and Private Universities. Each tier is financing its own established institutions. The last strike by Academic staff of public schools in Nigeria (Federal and State) when they were agitating for government’s positive action on inadequate funding of higher Institutions is a reference point. These kinds of strikes had adversely affected the standard of education in Nigeria to the extent that none of Nigeria’s higher institution is ranked among the first seven institutions in Africa. Based on past experience in this country, several efforts of the Federal Government to address this issue have not yielded any progressive result. It is certain that our tertiary Institutions need to raise funds to supplement government funding, and not only this, there is need for proper monitoring of how such funds are being used judiciously because of the corrupt nature of some of our officials in the African continent, most especially Nigeria.

    A Report on the Mapping Study of Peace & Security Engagement in African Tertiary Institutions Written by Funmi E. Vogt This project was funded through the support of the Carnegie Corporation About the African Leadership Centre In July 2008, King’s College London through the Conflict, Security and Development group (CSDG), established the African Leadership Centre (ALC). In June 2010, the ALC was officially launched in Nairobi, Kenya, as a joint initiative of King’s College London and the University of Nairobi. The ALC aims to build the next generation of scholars and analysts on peace, security and development. The idea of an African Leadership Centre was conceived to generate innovative ways to address some of the challenges faced on the African continent, by a new generation of “home‐grown” talent. The ALC provides mentoring to the next generation of African leaders and facilitates their participation in national, regional and international efforts to achieve transformative change in Africa, and is guided by the following principles: a) To foster African‐led ideas and processes of change b) To encourage diversity in terms of gender, region, class and beliefs c) To provide the right environment for independent thinking d) Recognition of youth agency e) Pursuit of excellence f) Integrity The African Leadership Centre mentors young Africans with the potential to lead innovative change in their communities, countries and across the continent. The Centre links academia and the real world of policy and practice, and aims to build a network of people who are committed to the issue of Peace and Security on the continent of Africa.
