PROJECTS
Some of our flagship research projects:
Public Health, Epidemic Challenges and Environmental Impact of Urban Slums and Settlements 
Environmental Impact of Unregulated Mineral Mining 
Research on Rural Sustainable Livelihood Challenges 
The number of slum dwellers in developing countries increased from 689 million in 1990 to 880 million in 2014 (World Economic Forum, 2016). The population who live in slums typically are poor, illiterate or semiliterate and engage in low-skilled (and often stigmatized) work (Shepherd, Parida & Wincent, 2020).
Research on the Environmental Impact of Mining Solid Mineral Without Regulation
Illegal mining has several environmental and health problems. Several accidents have occurred, and, in some cases, this has led to many deaths in the mines when the ground caved in on miners. There is also a health serious impact resulting from pollution from gases, noise, dust and polluted water.
Research that focuses on the livelihood challenges and the sustainability of the livelihood in the rural area
Eradication of poverty and hunger has been the main theme of development since 2000s (Rahman & Akter, 2014). While this ambitious goal is yet to be achieved, progress in ‘poverty reduction’ has been impressive and widespread in many regions (Rahman & Akter, 2014). However, in Nigeria, the trend shows poverty.
