Testing is the examination and assessment of educational outcomes with learners, through a rigorous process to measure the level of knowledge, skills, attitudes, or abilities of learners. Theoretical and practical studies have shown that testing activities have a position and importance in university training. The purpose of this study is to explore the role and necessity of improving testing activities in university training in the current period. The research results show that testing activities have many roles in university training. However, testing activities still reveal many limitations that need to be improved in the coming time. Based on exploring the role and necessity of improving testing activities in university training, this study recommends solutions to further promote the role of testing activities in university training. Because it is only an initial study, there are still some limitations that need to be further studied and improved in the future.

Abstract: The research studied the impact of terrorism on mining production in Nigeria from 1990 to 2023 by studying other independent variables such as capital stock (CPST), technology (TECH) and human development index (HDI) which were sourced from institute for economic and peace (IEP): Global economic index, World Bank data portal, and Climate change knowledge portal. The study employed the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) multiple regression model with Auto-Regressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) model as tool for parameter estimation. The results of the study showed terrorism to have a negative and significant impact on mining production both in the long and short run period. Capital stock impacted negatively on mining in the long run but impacted positively in the short run with both relationships insignificant. Technology impacted negatively on mining in the long run and positively in the short run with both relationships being significant. human development index impacted positively and significantly on mining both in the long and short run. The study recommended proper monitoring and supervising of security projects to ensure transparency and accountability, regular investment in capital stock, organizing periodic training for workers, and increase allocation for science and technology among others.

Over 105 million gamers suffer from game addiction. Research indicates a connection between gaming addiction and mental health. Gaming is popular among young people, and they have been observed to engage in it excessively, negatively impacting their mental health. However, there is a dearth of data on gaming addiction and the mental health of youth in Sub-Saharan Africa. This study examines the effects of gaming addiction on the mental health of Lagos youths via an online survey. The study's findings revealed that some are aware of the associated risks of enjoying video games. Furthermore, respondents believe that gaming addiction is caused by depression, loneliness, a lack of focus on other positive activities, video game design, the near-reality nature of video games, and the manipulative nature of the games. The study concludes that beyond the feel-good pleasure of playing video games, addiction is escalating and negatively impacting mental health. The study recommends that youths be adequately educated on the dangers of excessive gaming, the impact of addiction and the adverse effects on mental capacity. Youths should be supervised in their gaming activities, particularly censoring violent games which promote other addictions and aggressive behaviours. Future research can track statistics of game addictions across the nation, mainly because of improving mental health stability.
