ABSTRACT
Contemporary Private online Universities must be adaptive and agile as the environment changes. To respond to change, leaders
of these Universities must find ways of integrating learning into everyday work experiences in the field Professorial roles and
expertise.
The study's goal is to look into the difficulties that clouded the procedures of becoming a Professor; teaching experiences and
their supervisory positions in the Private Online Universities. In order to evaluate the impact of professional training, we need to
understand management by objectives, motivation, and communication on teaching, management and supervisory system, four
particular objectives were set. The hypotheses investigation revealed that professional training has a favorable influence on
Professorship teaching and supervisory skills, Rudolph Kwanue University College has significant role to play on supervisory
skills, motivation, has no effect on supervisory skills; bad communication and poor supervisory positions have a negative
association. Traditional statistical procedures were used to test the results, as well as the usage of chi-square to evaluate
significant levels. The suggestions offered would assist Rudolph Kwanue University College Professors train other Professor for

Situational leadership style is closely linked to leadership effectiveness in universities and
global settings. Effective academic leaders employ the four leadership modalities of "telling,
selling, participating, and delegating" and must possess a set of skills and take on specific
responsibilities. Good academic leaders have the necessary skills and positions when hired
and use different leadership philosophies depending on the scenario. To ensure good
academic leadership, systematic programs for leadership development are crucial. The study
aims to review literature on leadership competences and administrative leaders in higher
institutions worldwide. The researcher used ProQuest and various web-based providers to
search for published articles in social science and management education related to
leadership competences and administrative leaders in higher institutions. Review findings
show that administrative executives struggle with change management in the real world,
struggle to embrace new practices, and struggle with using constructive aspects of conflict
in conflict resolution. Additionally, administrative leaders struggle with setting priorities to
make the best judgments.

Recommendations
Recommendations are made for a group of people or an individual, and this is done for a particular purpose. Recommendations are made to improve certain areas that may not be running accordingly, and this helps to improve performance.
Specific recommendations that would lead to the improvement of the academic program.
The group of people who were giving recommendations found put that there was a difference between the learning centers and the learners in these centers. There was a difference between schools owned privately and those owned by members of the society, and this also leads to a different mode of offering education. One of the recommendations is to teach students to use technology and thus gain engineering skills as well as use mathematical concepts in making innovations. The creation of the curriculum should be an obligation of all the people involved, and this helps in engaging everybody in decision making. The learners should dedicate their actions to learning, and the management should support the students so that they can give their best and thus achieve the best results.
a) General recommendations
Criticism of the efficiency of education should be made based on academic excellence and the degree of learners. Learners who have excelled have good results, and a good understanding of concepts learned in class. They also apply these concepts in their day to day lives. Various ways of giving knowledge as well as criticizing should be used.
The STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) should be used to assign objectives and to understand the process. Nobody can apply or use a method they do not understand, and this means that one has to study it well before using the concepts to be creative and innovative. Innovation leads to advancement in science, technology, economy and even personal growth. Teachers should ensure they enhance the process they use in teaching and also reward students they teach in their institutions by offering them opportunities to further their studies.
b) Recommendations to the academic department managers, supervisors of various bodies, and department heads.
The leadership of various departments should provide conditions favorable for the students to contribute towards the improvement and growth of the institution by publishing results of research that they do, and this helps to show to the world what the institution is doing in terms of research. This attracts financiers and helps to advance the students career-wise and in their personal life. The institution management should come up with programs that enhance innovation among the students. The programs should be related to the four areas in STEM.The administration should also dedicate resources for the improvement of the overall educational status — for example, ...
The study investigated the relationship between workload and lecturers’ job satisfaction in Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, Ondo State. The descriptive research design of the survey type was employed. The sample of the study was 105 lecturers selected using multi-stage sampling technique across three faculties. Two research questions and three hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. A researcher-made questionnaire titled “Workload and Lecturers’ Job Satisfaction Questionnaire (WLJSQ)” was used to elicit information from the respondents. The instrument was validated by experts in Test and Measurement and the test re-test method was used for test reliability which yielded a reliability coefficient of 0.72. The findings of this study revealed: lecturers found conducting research, processing of results, marking of examination scripts and supervision of undergraduate projects most demanding and that lecturers’ job satisfaction was low in relations with the workload. Also, there is a significant relationship between marking of examination scripts and lecturers’ job satisfaction, supervision of research work and lecturers’ job satisfaction and there is a significant relationship between number of courses allocated and lecturers’ job satisfaction. It is hereby recommended that more lecturers should be recruited particularly in faculties with high student population in order to reduce excessive workload, while the number of students to be allocated to lecturers for project supervision should be reduced and the services of assistant lecturers should be employed to assist in the area of marking of scripts and supervision of undergraduate projects.

How Can Great Leaders Change the World for the Better?
People resist change. Whether it’s a small habitual change or a large societal change, our society is known for hindering this extraordinary process. While most people never try and some try and fail miserably, some are the torchbearers of change. These leaders envision a different world and then make their dreams come true.
That being said, this process is not easy. Leaders, even the most resilient ones, have to go through many challenges and face many hurdles before they can transform an organization or society. It may appear like a daunting task, but it is certainly not impossible.
If you want to make history and become one of the great leaders, you need to acquire certain success-worthy traits. We have highlighted all the information you need in this article. So without further ado, let’s get started.
9 Steps Leaders Can Champion Change
Most people want to bring about a substantial change. However, they lack the basic guidelines. Here are the 9 steps you need to follow if you want to be the torchbearers of change.

LEADERSHIP AND CORPORATE CHARACTER KNOW THE IMPORTANCE OF CORPORATE CHARACTERPROF. PAUL ALLIEU KAMARA
INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS CHARACTER
What is the definition of a character?
Britannica Dictionary definition of CHARACTER. 1. [Count]: the way someone thinks, feels, and behaves: someone's personality — usually singular. He rarely shows his true character—that of a kind and sensitive person.
Leadership vs Character
Great leadership is a combination of competence, character, and commitment. Character is an individual's unique combination of internalized beliefs and moral habits that motivates and shapes how that individual relates to others.
Why Character Matters in Leadership
Every leader wants to be successful. But sometimes, the results achieved come at the cost of character. Civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. suggested that the most dangerous person is likely gifted with reason but no morals. A blind passion for results damages a leader's reputation and the organization. Evidence from workplace studies on the benefits of character suggests that leaders with high character scores outperform others on company performance metrics. Leadership behaviors guide actions, but a leader's character determines how and if the leader acts. Great leadership is a combination of competence, character, and commitment. This article provides three practical steps to help you develop your character strengths and pass your next character test.
Why is Character Important to Your Success?
Leadership creates moments not defined by policy or procedures - situations where leaders have to choose between right and right.
Every day you make character decisions, consciously or unconsciously, such as between speed or quality and long-term or short-term results. The impact of these decisions either reinforces your team's desired or undesired thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that. Martin Luther King, Jr.
In a study of executive leaders and their organizations over a two-year period, CEOs who scored high on aspects of character had an average return on assets (ROA) of 9.35%, in contrast to CEOs with low ratings had a ROA of 1.93%.
Leadership character is shown to align the leader-follower relationship, increasing both leader and follower productivity, effectiveness, and creativity. Leadership character plays a vital role in unifying a team.
Followers will give more when they respect the leader's character. A focus on helping others is essential to providing effective strategic leadership. Also, character helps leaders navigate change more effectively.

Our purpose in this volume is to introduce you to the concepts of strategic public relations. Our basic assumption is that you have some general knowledge of management and business terminology; we will help you to apply that to the discipline of public relations. Our text is based in current research and scholarly knowledge of the public relations discipline as well as years of experience in professional public relations practice.
Whether you are reading this book to teach a new field, simply to update your knowledge, or as part of an educational program or course, we value every moment that you spend with it. Therefore, we have eliminated much of the academic jargon found in other books and used a straightforward writing style. We tried to make the chapters short enough to be manageable, but packed with information, without an overreliance on complicated examples or charts and diagrams. We hope that our no-nonsense approach will speed your study.
We use a few original public relations case studies that we have written for you so that you can see the concepts we discuss illustrated and applied. This book is divided into three large parts:
What is fraud?
A fraud is defined as a wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain. "He was convicted of fraud" a person or thing intended to deceive others, typically by unjustifiably claiming or being credited with accomplishments or qualities.
What is Fraud Law?
In law, fraud is intentional deception to secure unfair or unlawful gain, or to deprive a victim of a legal right. Fraud can violate civil law (e.g., a fraud victim may sue the fraud perpetrator to avoid the fraud or recover monetary compensation) or criminal law (e.g., a fraud perpetrator may be prosecuted and imprisoned by governmental authorities), or it may cause no loss of money, property, or legal right but still be an element of another civil or criminal wrong.
The purpose of fraud may be monetary gain or other benefits, for example by obtaining a passport, travel document, or driver's license, or mortgage fraud, where the perpetrator may attempt to qualify for a mortgage by way of false statements.
Terminology
Fraud can be defined as either a civil wrong or a criminal act. For civil fraud, a government agency or person or entity harmed by fraud may bring litigation to stop the fraud, seek monetary damages, or both. For criminal fraud, a person may be prosecuted for the fraud and potentially face fines, incarceration, or both.
Civil law
In common law jurisdictions, as a civil wrong, fraud is a tort While the precise definitions and requirements of proof vary among jurisdictions, the requisite elements of fraud as a tort generally are the intentional misrepresentation or concealment of an important fact upon which the victim is meant to rely, and in fact does rely, to the harm of the victim. Proving fraud in a court of law is often said to be difficult as the intention to defraud is the key element in question. As such, proving fraud comes with a "greater evidentiary burden than other civil claims". This difficulty is exacerbated by the fact that some jurisdictions require the victim to prove fraud by clear and convincing evidence.
The remedies for fraud may include rescission (i.e., reversal) of a fraudulently obtained agreement or transaction, the recovery of a monetary award to compensate for the harm caused, punitive damages to punish or deter the misconduct, and possibly others.
In cases of a fraudulently induced contract, fraud may serve as a defense in a civil action for breach of contract or specific performance of contract. Similarly, fraud may serve as a basis for a court to invoke its equitable jurisdiction.

The influence of trust on Gov-ernments, leaders, and followers is a fundamental Principles of Democratic values, Good Gov-ernance and factor for effective leadership, followership, and the development of an exemplary State examined in this article. Trust is a crucial component of collaboration in achieving Na-tional cohesions and leadership effectiveness and credibility. Trust is the foundation for Gov-ernments to be valuable and exemplary. In the twenty-first century, trust is one of the fac-tors that governments must deal with. First, this article explored who a successful leader is? Un-derstanding that a person experi-enced at trust-building should have the following skills: socia-bility, interpersonal-relationship, active listening, practical com-munication, team-playing, and collaboration. Next, who is a dependable leader? Being relia-ble or trustworthy leaders means that the followers could trust and rely on them to follow through on their plans and keep promises

UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPTS OF RESEARCH METHODOLOGY EMBRACING THE IMPORTANCE OF...PROF. PAUL ALLIEU KAMARA
Preface
This book is based on various experiences in research with student, practitioner and teacher in the Rudolph Kwanue University across the World. The difficulties they faced in understanding research as students, the discoveries about what was applicable and inapplicable in the field as practitioner, and development of the ability to effectively communicate difficult concepts in simple language without avoiding technicality and accuracy have become the basis of this book.
Research methodology is taught as a supporting subject in several ways in many academic disciplines such as health, education, psychology, social work, nursing, public health, library studies, Business and marketing research. The core philosophical base for this book comes from the conviction that, although these disciplines vary in content, their broad approach to a research enquiry is similar. This book, therefore, is addressed to these academic disciplines.
It is true that some disciplines place greater emphasis on quantitative research and some on qualitative research. This Book’s approach to research is a combination of both. Firstly, it is the objective that should decide whether a study be carried out adopting a qualitative or a quantitative approach. Secondly, in real life most research is a combination of both methods.
Though they differ in the philosophy that underpins their mode of enquiry, to a great extent their broad approach to enquiry is similar. The quantitative research process is reasonably well structured whereas the qualitative one is fairly unstructured, and these are their respective strengths as well as weaknesses. This Book strongly believed that both are important to portray a complete picture. In addition, there are aspects of quantitative research that are qualitative in nature. It depends upon how a piece of information has been collected and analyzed.
STRATEGIES FOR IMPROVING MONITORING AND SUPERVISORY SKILLS FOR EFFECTIVE LEAD...PROF. PAUL ALLIEU KAMARA
ABSTRACT
The study's goal is to look into and predict the difficulties of effective Leadership in both Public and Private sector experienced in the 2024 AML/CFT and to strengthen their Leadership monitoring and supervisory ability and positions in the Fight against Financial Crime for the year ahead, and to alleviate the negative consequences and impact on professional in the Financial Institutions and we also seek to access their trainings, management objectives, motivation, and communication on supervisory roles. The study established four objectives: (1) The hypotheses: investigated reveals that professional training has a favorable influence on supervisory skills, (2) AML has less trained professional and less significance effect on supervisory skills, (3) No Motivations has less or no effect on supervisory skilled Personnel, (4) and none professional Communication posed by supervisory leadership positions have a negative association to the work of AML. Traditional statistical procedures were used to test the results, as well as the usage of chi-square to evaluate significant levels. The suggestions offered would assist leaders in Sierra Leone’s Financial and Business Institutions system in improving their supervision and Monitoring abilities and competencies by using predictive Technologies in the year 2024.
THE NEED FOR EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP IN COMBATING FINANCIAL CRIME IN THE AFRICAN...PROF. PAUL ALLIEU KAMARA
The Need for Effective Leadership is to Promote the fight against Financial Crime in Africa and help to advance Africa Trade Development Agenda
Financial Crime is a major African problem, and combating it requires effective leadership at all levels.
Africa remains at high risk of Financial Crime distress, and the risks have risen in the context of recent large fiscal deficits...
All sectors of African’s Leadership must either act now or never! African Leaders often say that criminal activities are like a lifestyle in the African’s continent: but if left undealt with, the consequences will have adverse effect and will destroy the economic development of Africa and lessen the trust in our Public and Private Institutions. Similarly, leaders must build up effective Political governance within their institutions, the Will and capacity needed to crack down on Financial Crime agents or agencies in the areas of Money Laundering, Counter Terrorism Financing, Fraud, Drug deals, Bribery and Corruption and smugglers, why? Because these criminals have a lot of criminal strategies to evade our African Territories – for example, if they are restricted in the land routes – they would use sea routes- when they are restricted on the seas they use the air. That’s why targeted interventions often have limited impact on Financial Crime and criminal activities in Africa: we need to look at the Leadership capacities and effectiveness in pursing the African Continental Free Trade Zone Area agenda as a big picture, besides the good initiatives and benefits therein it also has negative sides effect of its to tell the whole story of how the criminals are moving on Roads, Seas and air (aviation industry), and the poor border crossing security Agencies of Nations in Africa. This Book intends to tell the story of the poor suffering African’s people with few livelihood options. It is a complex story, with many interconnections; at the heart of which the African Continental Free Trade Zone area lies. While Africa has spread a plethora of beneficial innovations around the world, it has also had many negative consequences in both large and small countries through illicit financial outflows: in fact, security problems in the entire nations of Africa are closely related to the development challenges posed by the Money Laundered to finance Terrorism and Civil Conflicts of Africa. Though the side effects of Financial Crime are particularly strong in the African’s poorest countries those least equipped to respond to these impacts are more vulnerable.
This Book looks at how the role of effective Leadership contributes in the fight beyond specific countries Against Financial Crime and illicit financial flows (fin-iffs) in the African region. The Book zeroed in on Financial Crime, illicit Financial Flows, like Money Laundering, Bribery and Corruption and illicit trade to illustrate the larger scale and the need for effectiveness of African Leaders to combat this menaced:

THINKING ON HOW TO KILL THE KILLER BEFORE HE KILLS US ALL WHO IS THE KILLER? ...PROF. PAUL ALLIEU KAMARA
INTRODUCTION
Who is or what is the true Killer of African People? This question has being playing on my mind for years’ and years to months and months to weeks and to days. Well today is the day I attempted to search for answers and to know the true killer of my African People. This article will attempts to suggest some of the killers or what killers African People. This article is not the final answers to the entire Problem. However, I intended to limit the discussions on Political Corruption as one of the main factors that kills everything in the hands of African. So let look at some definitions and characteristics of Political Corruption and its effect in our social-economic development of Africa.
For the purpose of this article I will define corruption and the type of corruption we have
PART 1. Corruption: Its Meaning, Type, and Real-World Example
Introduction Corruption has recently been the subject of substantial theorizing and empirical research, and this has produced a bewildering array of alternative approaches, explanations, typologies and remedies. Corruption is understood as everything from the paying of bribes to civil servants and the simple theft of public purses, to a wide range of dubious economic and political practices in which businesspeople, politicians and bureaucrats enrich themselves. The issue of corruption is an old one, that has re-entered the current political and economic debate from the new interest in the role of the state in the developing world, and from the assumption that the state is an indispensable instrument for economic development, redistribution and welfare. In contrast to the largely rejected “state-dominated” and “state-less” development models, there is now much consensus on the need for an efficient medium-sized state apparatus with a political will and adequate economic policies to ensure economic development. Corruption is seen as counter-productive to the needed economic and political reforms, accountability, transparency, and good governance. The intention of this paper is to classify the various forms of corruption in order to operationalize the concept for analytical and practical purposes. First, different forms of corruption will be outlined. Secondly, corruption will be defined as a particular state-society relationship, and the distinction made between political corruption and bureaucratic corruption. Then two more distinctions will be added, namely between “individual” and “collective” forms of corruption, and corruption as a mechanism of either “upward extraction” or “downward redistribution”. This will sum up to the basic argument that the fight against corruption will have to be placed within a broader agenda of democratization.
The purpose of this Book is to clear the misunderstanding of many Leaders in the corporate world. Those who believed and lived with the notions that best leaders are meant for the Corporate World and evolution of good leadership is in the world of business; I would want them to have a rethink as I explained the social and societal evolution of good leadership that has impacted the corporate world today. Please come along with me to some historical contextual truth derived from this concept of leadership. This book will deal with styles and concepts of leadership and help to build your understanding as to what is needed to be good leaders in Society. From Chapter to Chapter you will see the chronological order of leaders’ leadership and duty requires of them for better Society, Nations and the World at large.
When people talk about leadership, they mostly want to learn how to be good leaders at work. Leadership in the corporate context is one of the hottest topics in the world, and everyone wants to learn how to become a billionaire and be the best possible boss. However, leadership is not just limited to the work frontier; it extends to all of society. In fact, leadership began as a societal phenomenon much before it evolved into a professional one. In fact, many of the present-day leadership qualities that corporate and professional leaders aspire to are based on the social and political leaders of the yesteryears.
Human beings are social animals and living together in large groups naturally meant that people needed to adopt different roles and accomplish different groups. In order to give structure to society and help society grow and develop, people were naturally divided into leaders and followers. The leaders paved the way and moved from one frontier to another, directing the others, while the followers completed the tasks assigned to them and helped bring the changes about.
It is indeed an honour to be here today. Dr. Sesay, thank you for the kind recommendation, and thank you for giving me the privilege to speak with this 2023/2024 set of matriculants.
Before I present my remarks, I will like to take this opportunity to thank all the lecturers of this great College, who are and always have been committed to the success of every student and continue to take a personal interest in their academic and social development.
With deep felicitation, allow me to welcome you to the commencement of a life-defining experience and a magical opportunity. I heartily congratulate all of you for achieving success in getting a seat in this reputable College.
When I received the information to be the commencement speaker for today, my mind ran back to 14 years ago when I matriculated. I tried to extrapolate from many experiences from matriculation in 2011 to graduation in 2023, and share with you the many lessons I have learnt along the way, while also drawing your attention to steps and thoughts you can guide yourself with as you journey on the path of achieving greatness on this campus.
Why discovering the historical Context: Throughout history, great leaders have emerged, each with particular leadership styles
Leadership in itself is a somewhat fluid principle. Generally, most leaders adapt their leadership styles to suit their situation. This is particularly true the longer they lead; they adapt their leadership style as they learn and engage with their employees.
To become a more successful leader, leaders must understand their current leadership style. In this article, we’ll answer the question “what a leadership style?”, and then look at 6 of the most common leadership styles and their effectiveness.
If you want to advance the agenda of Combating Financial Crime, Illicit deals and Money Laundering in the African Union Continental Free Trade Zone Area you have to specialize on Financial Investigations.
Developing an investigative plan, subject profiles, analyzing and charting financial flows, preparing an evidence matrix and utilizing international cooperation channels provides the foundation to conducting an effective financial investigation.
Background: Financial Investigations
One of the biggest challenges for African Union Continental Free Trade Zone Area is in the asset recovery case to produce the evidence that links the assets to criminal activities (property-based confiscation) or establishes the amount of the benefit derived from an offense (value-based confiscation). To establish this link, practitioners in the AfCFTA must identify and trace assets or “follow the money” until the link with the offense or the location of the assets can be determined.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
