Abstract
An Appraisal of the Legal Framework for Credit Risk Management in the Nigerian Banking System
Temituope Kekema, Oladeji Olanrewaju
Abstract
One of the major risks inherent in the Nigerian banking system is credit risk which connotes the risk arising from the probability of failure on the part of a borrower to fulfil its loan obligation. Existing literature on the subject mainly focused on the socio-economic aspect of credit risk management while little attention was paid to the legal aspect. The general objective of this study was to conduct content analysis on the legal framework for the management of credit risk in the Nigerian banking system. Based on this analysis, it was discovered that the various laws needed amendment to enhance the proper management of credit risk in the Nigerian banking system.

Abstract
This study examines the issue of Gender-based violence in Nigeria and how human rights laws can help mitigate it. It highlights the level of protection offered under both international and domestic laws to victims of Gender-based violence. It shows how despite the plethora of laws in existence, the said issue continues. This study adopts the doctrinal research methodology given the fact that the study involves examining provisions of the law and its impact in serving as a solution to Gender-based violence in Nigeria. One of the arguments of this study is that Gender-based violence affects both men and women. The study highlights the various forms in which Gender-based violence can occur and factors aiding its continuous perpetration. The study identifies human rights adversely affected by Gender-based violence to include right to life and right to dignity. This works recommends effective enforcement of the existing laws in Nigeria. In conclusion, Gender-based violence should have been a thing of the past given how long it has spanned and the existence of several laws against its perpetration.

Abstract
There are about 8 billion people in the world; about 62.5% of them are internet users. Therefore, the world has moved from being a “global village" to a "global cyber village”. Technological and innovative disruptions are being experienced across all human endeavours, including healthcare, the latest being ChatGPT. Advancement in technological innovations has become part of human existence even in the area of healthcare. Security is therefore a core concern and is fast taking up cyber and technology dimensions, giving rise to phenomenon like cyber-terrorism. Using a desk-based doctrinal research methodology, this study investigates cyber-related statutes for adequacy of a legal framework for cyber- terrorism in the light of healthcare and telehealth in Nigeria. Findings from this research show that there is no singular legislation that adequately addresses cyber-terrorism in Nigeria’s healthcare system. This is an imperative for a dynamic and young population like Nigeria. Furthermore, the supremacy clause of the constitution makes it difficult to make policies on healthcare and cyber terrorism without a a specific legislative intervention. The available statutes on healthcare are insufficient to address both telehealth and its cyber- security challenges like cyber-terrorism. The extant cyber-related legislations envisage and provide a basis for addressing cyber-challenges to healthcare in this study. The study concludes that there are inadequate legislative modalities to guide the application of these cyber-related legislations to protect the health sector and its users. The study recommends that Nigerian legislature formulate telehealth policies that addresses the urgent abysmal telehealth infrastructure and cyberterrorism in her healthcare system.

Abstract
Care for travellers and tourist is a phenomenon that has evolved over the ages. The evolution of that aspect of life has developed into a means of livelihood that has seen some form of boom and competition in the course of time. The 20th century heralded the computer age where most activities were becoming automated and by the 21st century electronic means of doing things is common place. The hospitality industry is not left out in the operation of electronic businesses. Electronic means has taken over in the area of services such that transactions in the hospitality industry are no longer deterred by physical limits or boundaries of any sort. Transactions can be concluded with just a click of the button across country borders, amongst different races or languages and without time borders. Even though this is made possible by reason of advancement in technology, what the position of the law is in regulating the operation of electronic hospitality is the crux of this study. A doctrinal approach is utilized in this qualitative study to analyse the position of the law in the operation of technology in the hospitality industry and tourism sector. Both primary sources of the data being statutes and secondary sources like articles and online materials are engaged to execute this study. The study finds that though technology is necessary to mankind in this generation, the law has to

Abstract
The advancement of technology in recent times resulted in changes in the way things are done. The act of governance is not left out in the impact of technology as traditional governance has been disrupted by technology. Governance practices, decision-making processes, and overall corporate performance can be enhanced by adopting technological innovation. This paper adopted a qualitative research methodology. It utilized the doctrinal research design which involved the use of primary and secondary sources of information such as statutes, journal articles, and other online sources. The paper found that technology and its quick adoption is a veritable tool for achieving e-governance. Also, it found that there is dearth of digital skills due to the digital divide that exists in the country. It found that abuse of citizens’ data could be a major concern of technology for communication in e-governance. It recommended the strengthening of ethics and data privacy regarding technology. It concluded that given the global trend and the benefits associated with E-governance, it should be embraced with zest.
