This research aimed to understand how the significant factors that lead to performance challenges across Nigeria's state-owned refineries operationalise to drive their sub-optimal performance. As such, unlike previous studies, this thesis proposed to... Read More about Analysis of the performance challenges affecting state-owned refineries in Nigeria: a systems thinking approach..

Sustainability rating system for highway design: a key focus for developing sustainable cities and societies in Nigeria. (2021)
Journal Article
UCHEHARA, I., MOORE, D., JAFARIFAR, N. and OMOTAYO, T. 2022. Sustainability rating system for highway design: a key focus for developing sustainable cities and societies in Nigeria. Sustainable cities and society [online], 78, article number 103620. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scs.2021.103620

A growing body of evidence suggests that continuous increases in global population and urbanisation wield pressure across biodiversity. Nigeria and a few other Asian nations will account for 35% of the urban increase in the future, and there is a sci...

A framework of indicators to measure project circularity in construction circular economy. (2021)
Journal Article
ABADI, M., MOORE, D.R. and SAMMUNEH, M.A. 2022. A framework of indicators to measure project circularity in construction circular economy. Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - management, procurement and law [online], 175(2), pages 54-66. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1680/jmapl.21.00020

The construction circular economy (CE) literature lacks a holistic framework for systematic assessment of project 'circularity', thereby impeding industry restructuring and full transition to CE. The proposed 'project life-cycle assessment circularit... Read More about A framework of indicators to measure project circularity in construction circular economy..
