No. 4 This Journal is a forum for the dissemination of research findings and reports on curriculum development, implementation, innovation, diversification and renewal. In developing a curriculum, it is often necessary to use the experiences of the past and present demands as well as practices within and outside the system to design a desirable educational programme. Problems and issues in comparative education are relevant in shaping the curriculum. In the same vein, issues relating to the constant training and re-training of teachers are very relevant. Articles which present the results of empirical educational research, discuss theoretical framework for innovation in education or advocate new ideas are welcome. The Journal accepts articles from scholars in all fields related to curriculum study from all parts of the world. However, particular interest is shown to papers in the following areas: * Curriculum content, learning experience, organization and evaluation. * Teacher preparation and re-orientation at all levels of education. * Teaching methods and teacher effectiveness. * Educational foundations and comparative education. * New structures and operational patterns in pre-university education. * Learners' achievement and programme evaluation. * Quality assurance, Information Communication and Technology. * Entrepreneurship education. * Gender issues and inclusive education. * Teacher preparation and climate change curriculum. * Assessment of curriculum and Sustainable Development Goals. * Innovations for effective education delivery. iii Vol. 27 No. 4 CONTENTS PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS ...........................................................................1 A Key Note Address By ...................................................................................8 Articles Solving Societal Problems through Tertiary Education Curriculum Akinwande, Samson Akanmu ....................................................................... 30 Using the Universal Basic Education Curriculum and Classroom Situation in achieving Cultural Beliefs, Ethical Principles and Corruption Free Society AYODELE, Christiana Ayo PhD................................................................... 40 Developing a Curriculum for Corruption Free Tertiary Education in Nigeria Azubuike, Ogechi Joy Ph.D, Nwanevu Chukwuemeka Arnold & Umeh, Jane Ogochukwu Ph.D ..................................................................48 Analysis of Multivariate Generalizability of National Examinations Council's 2014 Senior School Certificate Examination Objective Tests in Electrical Installations and Maintenance Works BAMIDELE, Samuel Tunde PhD, Abraham Yusuf Gana Abdullahi Hussain Lami & Usman MohameedMohammed .......................58 Curriculum and Corruption Free Tertiary Education: The Way Forward Ogechi Chuka-Okonkwo Ph.D...................................................................... 72 Strategies for Curbing Corrupt Practices in the Management of Tertiary Education for Sustainable National Development in Nigeria.

Like a fly to the dunghill, it follows everyone like a shadow and even the food we eat, the cloth we are wearing, the air we breathe, the water we drink all smell and waft of corruption. Indeed, corruption in Nigeria is far much deeper than the River Niger and thicker than the Sambisa forest! It is really a cankerworm that has eaten very deep into the mainstay of our existence and it is a wise decision that this hydra-headed monster has been brought to the public glare of educators in this gathering, perhaps, to be undressed, beheaded, and buried at the end of this conference and never to be exhumed.
