privacy invasion on Internet commerce, vital
business sectors and government agencies
have grown exponentially with the number of
internet users growing roughly from an
estimated 360 million in 2000 to nearly two
billion at the end of 2010 and over 3.4 billion
as of August, 2016. Increased internet
penetration has brought with it challenges
such as cyber security and digital privacy
issues. Addressing these issues in a way that
protects the tremendous economic and social
values that information technology presents,
without stifling innovation, requires a fresh
look at the enhanced sustainable
development goals of the United Nations.
The trust of this paper, therefore, is to analyze
the concept of cyber security and digital
privacy in relation to the sustainable
development of information and
communication technology in Nigeria. The
paper concludes with a way forward towards
meeting the 2030 target of the sustainable
development goals as it relates to information
and communication in Nigeria.

These factors increase the stress level of commuters and drivers as they lead to time wastage and health related problems. This study developed a novel approach to road traffic monitoring and control system using a network of sensors and real-time image processing system to control traffic and reduce traffic gridlocks and environmental hazards resulting from smokes of car exhausts. The design consist of the power supply unit, the micro controller unit, the motion sensors, the timer, the digital calculator, the digital display and counter, the message processor and camera. The system takes into consideration the traffic jams and gives hints on how we can avoid the jammed traffic so we can be on time to our destination. Simulation of the various units was done individually using the procedural programming application Proteus 8. Most of the components used were according to design specifications from data book with alternatives used in cases where they are unavailable. The design was done in units and was tested individually and the whole system was tested collectively to perform the required task of giving a forecasted route to users. The designed model is capable of improving reliability, speed, operational safety and reducing pollution as well as road traffic jam.

Relating internet penetration in terms of fibre optics growth, the paper seeks to establish the prospects of increased fibre optics growth as a precursor for internet penetration in Nigeria. By way of descriptive analysis, predicated on empirical evidence, the paper posits that the growth of fibre optics in the country will have a far-reaching positive effect on the access to information of citizens through the internet. In view of its favourable impacts as exemplified in the improvement in the access to information, improved mental capacity of citizenry and improved rural area coverage, this paper submits that fibre optics portends a greater avenue for the intellectual development of citizens through greater access to the internet in the hinder lands.

Citizens are regularly inundated with reported cases of vandalism which often lead to spillage and a drastic reduction in government's revenue as is currently the case in Nigeria. This paper focuses on the design of petroleum pipeline spillage detection system. The design consists of the power supply unit, the comparator unit, the microcontroller unit, the switching unit, the transceiver unit and the base station. Simulation of the various units was done individually using the procedural programming application Proteus 8. Most of the components used were according to design specifications from data book with alternatives used in cases where they are unavailable. Wiring sensors which provided continuous electrical paths to break the signal path and trigger an alarm at the base station were used The design was done in units and were tested individually and the whole system was tested to perform the required task of detecting petroleum spillage and alerting the control room for action. It is found that the designed system had the advantage of responding to intrusion and vandalism better than existing systems.
