(A Paper Submitted for the Law x Tech Conference) 1.0 INTRODUCTION   Although the legal sector underpins most socio-economic activities worldwide, it is troubling to discover that the legal sector is one of the slowest sectors in adopting technology, which is the emblem of the 21st century. The technology-averse attitude of the legal sector is a cosmopolitan issue given that a research conducted by the American Bar Association (ABA) revealed that a meagre 7% of law firms adopt technological innovations in dispensing their duties[1].

  (A paper submitted for the Nigerian University Engineering Association Magazine) D espite the successive riotous waves of the global pandemic, the world still exists. However, we are still adjusting with the ‘new normal’ lifestyle that tagged along with COVID-19. A World Bank Study showed that economic growth of advanced regions would decline from a depleted 3.8 percent in 2022 to a disastrous 2.3 percent in 2023. What chance do less-advanced regions have? Innovation is the backbone of our survival in these life threatening times. Innovation is the innate quality of adaptation and resilience pooled into the muscles of the mind. In this Post-COVID era, challenges needs to be solved with scientific solutions. Thus, underscoring the role of emerging engineering innovations for the earth to maintain her much needed resilience. Globally, the most prominent areas affected by the pandemic are: health, education and businesses. Nonetheless, the world is rebounding; however, to maintain a sou

  Here's my first award-winning essay, Enjoy! Sustainable Shipping for a Sustainable Planet The overexploitation of natural resources and upsetting ecological balance as a result of excessive pollution done by humanity is now tilting the earth towards a breaking point. Sadly, there seems to be no going back from this looming death trap unless there is a rapid response aimed at mitigating and undoing the mess. To achieve this, the shipping industry has to lead and remain at the forefront of the quest for sustainability. The farther shipping is from sustainability, the more herculean the tasks to realize the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030 and ultimately, the more unlikely we would achieve a sustainable planet soon.  Shipping is regarded as the most effective and cost-efficient method of international transportation. It is also crucial for world prosperity as it transports about 80 percent of world trade; however, the downside is that it heavily relies on
