    Objective: The use and adverse effect of alcohol-based hand sanitizers as a preventive measure in combating the spread of COVID-19.  Materials and Methods: A literature search of the electronic databases including PubMed, Scopus, Research gate and Embase was conducted to retrieve articles investigating the protective effect of alcohol-based sanitizers against the spread of COVID-19 as well as its possible adverse effects. The search timeframe ranged from the inception of each database to August 2020.Results: From an initial search of 456 articles, and after the removal of duplicates as well as applying the predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria, 74 articles were finally included for this systematic review. Results showed promising protective effect of alcohol-based hand sanitizers against the spread of COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, no adverse effect was observed after the use of alcohol-based sanitizers though there are certain possible adverse effect identified which includes skin toxicity, risk of skin burn due flammability etc. Conclusion: Alcohol based hand sanitizers are effective against lipophilic viruses which means they are effective against coronaviruses. To ensure efficacy of the product, the recommended ethanol concentrates should be strictly adhered to and regulated. Alcohol based hand sanitizers has few adverse effects ranging from skin toxicity when ethanol concentrates is relatively high and not regulated courtesy of proliferation of fake products in the market. They are known to be flammable in nature and can cause skin burn if the safety and precautionary instructions are not strictly adhered to. Hand hygiene and the use of alcohol based hand sanitizers are effective in preventing direct and indirect spread of COVID-19.

    EKSU JOURNAL OF EDUCATION: Two Nations, Two Language Policies: What Innovations and Hullabaloos!

    No full text
    This paper examines the language policies of two African nations, Nigeria and Kenya. We explain the subtleties and obstacles that could either facilitate or hinder the execution of these national language policies. Over the years, the Nigerian government has struggled to document its linguistic preferences and mandates. The introduction of the New National Language Policy in 2022 is a welcome development; however, its implementation is not yet visibly feasible.   In contrast, Kenya’s language policy emphasizes the role of Kiswahili and mother tongue education, as outlined in the Constitution of Kenya (2010) and the national language policy. The paper draws on extensive literature and critical analysis of the national language policies of the two nations. It highlights the contents and explicates various innovations enunciated in these policies.  The paper, therefore, concludes that parents, government, and all stakeholders involved in the use of language should do the needful for the proper implementation of the policies to preserve the indigenous languages for generations born and unborn.   It recommends that various stakeholders and the government wake up to their responsibilities toward the proper implementation of the policies. Additionally, the government should publicize the necessary roles of various stakeholders for the fruitful implementation of the language policies
