    Editorial Comments
    That there is a global pandemic of COVID-19 is no longer news. We have gone through lockdowns with serious socio-economic implications. It has been estimated that the global economy would take decades to recover from this pandemic. The incidence in Nigeria continue to rise with national and local efforts to flatten the curve being complicated with politics and deteriorating health infrastructure. As Western governments and NGOs grapple with their own outbreaks, African nations are saddled with the responsibility of contending with the virus. The ongoing global COVID-19 outbreak has revealed how strikingly unprepared the world is for a pandemic. Continue reading

    River Benue, Going!! Going!!!

    The Zambezi River basin, which stretches across 8 countries in Southern Africa - Angola, Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Zambia, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe - has lost a significant portion of its freshwater due to pollution, climate change, and poor management.... We have continued to position NAPAS to be the first choice journal for scholars in Nigeria. Our online presence has continued to draw significant attention from the scholarly community. The Editorial Board is grateful to the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Msugh Moses Kembe for ensuring that the TETFUND support attracted in 2016 is judiciously utilized for the production of the Journal.

    On behalf of the Editorial Board, I wish our ever-increasing cream of readers and contributors a fruitful and productive engagement with NAPAS and a memorable Christmas holiday.
