Cybersecurity and Cybercrimes in Nigeria: An Overview of Challenges and Prospects YAKUBU, Ibrahim; ADELAIYE, Oluwasegun; YUSUF, Musa; IPOLE, Nancy; AIYEDOGBON, Sunday This paper seeks to provide comprehensive overview of the challenges and potential developments within the realm of cybersecurity and cybercrime in Nigeria. The unintended consequence of internet’s growth in Nigeria has been the inadvertent facilitation of a haven for cybercriminals. Addressing this issue is of paramount importance due to escalating threat posed by cybercriminals both within the nation and on a global-scale. This study delves into an assessment of the impact of cybercrime, highlighting key indicators that contribute to its rise. This assessment is juxtaposed with the present state of technology utilization, particularly the prevalence of computing devices and communication methods within Nigeria. Through statistical analysis of the four stages of a cyber-attack, reconnaissance, weaponization, delivery and exploitation. This paper dissects their effects on the Nigerian cyber landscape. In response to these threats, effective countermeasures are explored, drawing attention to strategies that have demonstrated efficacy in mitigating cyber risks. Additionally, the paper underscores the significance of understanding common vulnerabilities and the necessity of conducting risk assessments, drawing insights from the Mitre framework. Considering the international nature of cybercrime, the importance of collaboration on global-scale is emphasized, highlighting initiatives that can aid Nigeria’s efforts in tackling this issue. The paper examines the existing legal and policy framework related to cybersecurity and cybercrime in Nigeria, identifying potential areas for enforcement. By encompassing comprehensive analysis of these factors and themes, this paper contributes to better understanding of the challenges posed by cybercrime and proactive measures that can be undertaken to safeguard Nigeria’s digital landscape.

WHITE-BOX MACHINE LEARNING APPROACH TO PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM MALARIA DETECTION USING MULTI-CHANNEL COLOUR SCHEME IPOLE, Nancy; ADELAIYE, Oluwasegun; MUSA, Yusuf; USMAN, Adamu; HASSAN, Anah; MAIKIORI, Jenom; YAKUBU, Ibrahim Malaria, a severe global health threat, remains a challenge despite ongoing efforts. This paper reviews various studies, highlighting disease severity and combat strategies. The substantial public health burden of malaria is evident, affecting millions globally. In 2019, 409,000 deaths were reported, 67% being children, necessitating preventive measures. Various strategies, such as laboratory networks, computing-based methods, and Geographic Information Systems, target malaria's impact. Despite progress, malaria persists in West Africa, requiring significant support and research. The paper's focus on white box algorithms for malaria diagnosis aligns with transparent, accurate healthcare solutions. With F1-score of 0.95 for "Infected," 0.95 for "Uninfected," and overall accuracy of 95.42%, the model detects Plasmodium falciparum. The study underscores comprehensive strategies to combat malaria's global burden.
