Voluntary Adoption

Ekiti State is one of the States in the South Western part of Nigeria. The dominant religions in the State are Christianity and Islam. Like other parts of the world, there is a strong wave of Islamic revivalism by the Muslims while the Christians are not relenting in their evangelism to draw more people to their fold. One of the expressions of the revivalism by the Muslims is the voluntary adoption of the hijāb by many female Muslims. Consequently, the average female Muslim is a Mājubah of one sort or the other. The state is now faced with teeming number of women who wants to use the hijāb in the Western based schools and the government official work places. Many of them are now faced with either to remove the hijāb because of education or to look for a white collar job in the State while others who want to strictly hold to their faith were making agitations for the use of the hijāb. The paper looks at the concept of hijāb in Islam, the mode of dressing in Ekiti State, its compatibility and the differences with the traditional dressing in the State and the dynamics of the agitation for the adoption of the use of hijāb. The work made use of both primary and secondary sources. Islamic literature, archival materials and pamphlets were consulted while interviews were made with relevant personalities in the state. The result revealed a good approach adopted by the government of Ekiti State in taking care of the agitations of the Muslims on the use of hijab in government official places of work and students in formal public schools. The Ekiti model is therefore suggested to be adapted and adopted by other states in Nigeria where the problem of hijab have snowballed into crises

The West Java Provincial Government issued a New Life Adaptation (AKB) policy in response to the implementation of a ‘new normal’ that will be implemented in the cities and districts among West Java Province. Conceptually this AKB policy needs to be assessed whether the substance is in line with the guidelines from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Government or is a new and different concept? Empirically what issues and opportunities arise when the AKB policy is implemented?. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods, data collection is taken from secondary sources in the form of government reports, books, journals and other relevant sources. The results revealed that the AKB policy was substantially the adoption of the the new normal guidelines from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Government. The issue that arises empirically is how the implementation of the AKB policy can minimize the spread of COVID-19 in line with the sustainability of community activities. Efforts to be made by the West Java Provincial Government in the future are to synergize AKB policy at the provincial level with AKB policy at the city and district level, as well as educating and disseminating information about COVID-9 and AKB Policy to the public.

This paper analyzes the problem of technological backwardness of economy. In many mostly developing countries their economies use obsolete technologies. This can create the illusion that this or that business is prosperous. At the level of international competition, however, it is obvious that these types of firms do not have any chance for success. Retroeconomics as a theory of technological backwardness and its detrimental effect upon a country’s economy is considered in the paper. The role of the government is very important for overcoming the effects of retroeconomy. The phenomenon of retroeconomy is already quite deep-rooted throughout the world and it is essential to consolidate the attention of economists and politicians on this threat.
