1. Application of a Computer Program for Predicting Rainfall Erosivity Indices Across Selected Meteorological Stations in Sub-Saharan Africa Summary Rainfall erosivity is a critical factor in understanding soil erosion risk, but most analyses in Sub-Saharan Africa remain localized. This study applies a computer program to predict rainfall erosivity indices across multiple meteorological stations in the […]

1. Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Rainfall Erosivity Indices Across Agro-Ecological Zones in Nigeria Using Python-Based Computational Models Summary Nigeria’s diverse agro-ecological zones experience varying rainfall intensities that significantly influence soil erosion. However, erosivity studies often lack a comprehensive spatio-temporal perspective across these zones. This study applies Python-based computational models to analyze and visualize rainfall erosivity indices […]

1. Assessment of Seasonal and Annual Rainfall Erosivity Variability in the Guinea Savannah Zone of Nigeria Summary The Guinea Savannah Zone of Nigeria is highly vulnerable to soil erosion due to intense rainfall events and unsustainable land-use practices. Rainfall erosivity, a key factor in erosion risk assessment, varies significantly across temporal scales such as seasonal […]

Structural engineering is a specialized branch of civil engineering that focuses on the analysis, design, and construction of structures that can safely withstand the loads and forces they encounter during their lifespan. It ensures that buildings, bridges, towers, dams, stadiums, and other infrastructure are safe, stable, durable, and efficient, while also being economical and aesthetically acceptable. […]

Transportation engineering is a specialized branch of civil engineering that deals with the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of transportation systems to ensure the safe, efficient, and sustainable movement of people and goods. It covers all modes of transport—road, rail, air, and water—but most commonly focuses on highways and urban transportation. Here are 10 […]

Let’s break down each of the 15 PhD research topics into summary, objectives, and research gap so you can clearly see their potential. 1. Organizational Culture and Its Influence on Strategic Adaptability in Dynamic Business Environments SummaryThis study explores how organizational culture (values, beliefs, norms, and practices) affects firms’ ability to adapt to external challenges such […]

Summary The oil and gas sector is central to Nigeria’s economy, contributing significantly to government revenue and national development. However, projects in the sector are often characterized by delays, cost overruns, safety incidents, and stakeholder conflicts. While technical expertise and financial resources are essential, research shows that leadership is a critical factor influencing project success. […]

Research Gap: Existing research on pipeline projects in Nigeria largely focuses on technical risk factors (leakages, sabotage, cost overruns) rather than the leadership dimension of risk management. Studies often treat risk management as a procedural/technical issue, without considering the role of project leaders in shaping decision-making, communication, and stakeholder engagement. Little has been done to […]

Summary The Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development (NOGICD) Act was established to promote indigenous participation, employment generation, and technology transfer within the sector. While the policy framework exists, the extent to which it is successfully implemented often depends on the leadership of project managers and executives in charge of oil and gas projects. […]

1. Summary Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly being applied in project management to optimize scheduling, resource allocation, and risk management. Traditional project scheduling methods such as Critical Path Method (CPM), Program Evaluation Review Technique (PERT), and Gantt charts often face limitations in handling complex, dynamic, and uncertain project environments. Likewise, conventional risk management approaches rely […]
