The inability of a region to access a webpage, because of the ban being placed on users from that region as a result of its location policy, has led to this study. This problem is often solved by anonymizing web traffic by using The Onion Router (TOR). These tools, however, suffer from the problem of exposure of identity and also lack the ability to monitor web users. This study describes in detail a web proxy server service solution within the context of a tertiary institution in Nigeria and explains how this service improves the user experience. An identity management system using a web proxy server was developed to tackle these problems. The new system proxy was designed using a transparent proxy model with some additional translational features where no modification was done to the response or request of resources, other than the addition of its identification information or that of the server from which the message was recovered, and mediation of resources. Redeemer's University proxy was used as a case study in this research work. This system is also able to effectively monitor users' (staffs and students) operations on the web.

Nigeria is a large, well-populated and developing country in the sub-Sahara Africa. Given its low pace of development, economic and social vices, and ineffective and inefficient public policies and programmes, health sector development has become a very big challenge. The consequences of this are low life expectancy, diseases, debility and morbidity. Health reforms and policies have been lope sided against the majority and against finding solutions for the most common diseases. The thrust of this paper is thus to adapt a veritable tool for decision making towards influencing optimal policy for the health sector. The Analytic Network Process or Analytic Hierarchy Process is found highly invaluable in this regard. The research shows that primary health ailments are commonest amongst the citizenry, and hence should be given greater attention. Hospitals generally in Nigeria should be well equipped. Local Government owned health centers should be supported with adequate funding and health personnel supply, as they are nearest to the people. Policies should be put in place to reduce brain drain particularly of the medical personnel. More importantly, Federal and State Governments must support health programmes and promote safe health culture through sensitization and improved health/ hygiene education.
