Assessment of Blockchain Smart Contracts Usage for Sustainable Construction Projects in Nigeria.
(Joint Safety, Health, and Well-being in Construction (W099) and People in Construction (W123), 2024-10) Aderonmu, Peter A.
Innovative technologies such as blockchain smart contracts
have been developed to digitalize traditional paper contracts,
handle delay in payments, disputes and lack of trust among parties
to a contract. Hence, this study aims to evaluate the application of
blockchain smart contracts in the Nigerian construction industry,
with a view to recommending its adoption strategies for sustainable
construction projects. The study adopted the quantitative research
approach through a questionnaire survey. Data was collected from
182 stakeholders in the Nigerian construction industry through a
snowballing sampling technique; these stakeholders were grouped
as clients, contractors, and consultants. The analysis was done using
descriptive statistics, while Cronbach’s Alpha was used to test for
reliability. The analysis revealed that the three groups of stakeholders
were not aware of the features of blockchain smart contracts since the
outcome ranked below the average mean item score. The findings also
revealed that 83.5% of the stakeholders have never used blockchain
smart contracts in construction projects. Moreover, the analysis on
the readiness to use blockchain smart contracts showed that the
stakeholders were fairly ready to use the innovative technology in
contracts since the findings ranked above the average mean item
score. The study recommends the need for stakeholders’ training
on the benefits and usability of blockchain smart contracts, and
government policies that will facilitate its adoption in the Nigerian
construction industry. This paper offers valuable insights into the
readiness of stakeholders to use blockchain technology as a smart
contractual arrangement in Nigeria

The purpose of this study is to determine the
information dissemination strategies used by the
Lagos State Ministry of Health to halt the spread of the
COVID-19 pandemic; the reason for the adoption of
the information dissemination and management
strategy; and the perception of Lagos State residents
on the state ministry of health's information
dissemination and management strategy. Then the
survey and in-depth interview research methods were
applied. The study population comprised all of the
9,019,534 residents of Lagos State and the information
staff of the Lagos State Ministry of Health. A sample
size of 384 respondents was selected for the survey,
while three information staff were selected for the indepth
interview using a multistage sampling
procedure. The study was anchored on social
cognitive theory. The study found out that the media
the Lagos State Ministry of Health uses include radio,
television, newspapers, magazines, the internet, and
billboards and that the reason the Lagos State Ministry
of Health chooses the information media is that they
are accessible, easy to use, have more users and
listeners, and cost-effective. The study also found out
that the respondents perceived the COVID 19
Information Dissemination Strategies adopted by the
Lagos State Government as informative, enlightening,
raising awareness, educating, and advocating. The
study concluded that the media has played an
important role in spreading health information as it
has a wide reach among the populace in Lagos
state. It was therefore recommended that the mass media should be seen as an integral part of governance in matters concerning health.
