    Corporate Social Responsibility and the Crisis of Development in Africa
    (Journal of Sustainable Development in Africa, 2009) Kolawole A. Owolabi; Fadeke E. Olu-Owolabi
    This paper argues that the idea of corporate social responsibility, that is gaining currency in the developed world today as the means of curtailing the excesses of capitalism, is not receiving the same attention in the developing areas of the world, particularly Africa. The paper maintains that the neglect of the idea of corporate social responsibility, because of the desire to resolve the crisis of development being witnessed in Africa, is a serious mistake because the neglect of this ideal is responsible for the crisis in the first instance. The paper concludes that genuine development (sustainable development), rather than mere economic growth can only be realized in Africa if both individuals and groups respect the rights, interests, and preferences of all members of the community in the pursuit of their economic activities. This new imperative is not difficult because responsibility to the community is a significant aspect of the traditional African value system that can easily be revived in order to come out of the prevailing crisis of development and realize the dream of an African renaissance.

    Status and Development of Clinical Informatics in Nigeria’s Health Care Sector
    (Medical Library Association of Nigeria, 2018) K. A. Owolabi; I. O. Agboola; M. K. Alawiye
    This paper examines the status and development of clinical informatics in the Nigerian health care sector, highlighting the efforts to promote access to and the use of clinical informatics in Nigeria’s health care sector. In a recent survey of major international research databases such as Scopus, it was observed that there is a gap in knowledge on clinical informatics in the country healthcare facilities in Nigeria due to a paucity of literature on clinical informatics. Through a literature review, the paper provides a conceptual background of clinical informatics, discusses the status of clinical informatics in Nigeria, and highlights ICT access and use in the healthcare sectors. It also examines the challenges and opportunities of clinical informatics in Nigeria. The last part of the paper discusses the implications of the reviewed literature through a PEST analysis. The paper provides invaluable information on clinical informatics in Nigeria that can be used to inform and support further studies in this growing field. The paper is a contribution to discussions and debates on the development of social informatics.
