In the wake of rising global graduate unemployment, the number of graduates in tertiary institutions is increasing annually, leading to a high demand for job creation. The growing job demand in South Africa has considerably strained the government. Research and innovation have been observed to be a viable source of job creation due to the possibilities of new discoveries that could foster job creation. The challenge associated with this approach is that research in institutions of higher learning is conducted solely for qualifications rather than the possibility of starting businesses. Society and the family system also contribute to this belief system: 'go to school so you can get a good job.' The focus should be on cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset amongst the university graduates rather than depending on the vanishing existing jobs. Thus, there is a need for an entrepreneurial mindset among university graduates. Incorporating this into the education system will positively affect university graduates finishing and starting their businesses after graduation. Therefore, using a systematic literature review methodology, the study highlights the importance of interdisciplinary research, incorporation of business developments into the institutional general curriculum, government investment in research, and institutional students' support to convert research into money-making ideas.

Water is an indispensable natural resource, which, apart from its importance in the industrial sector, is mostly used by women at the domestic level everywhere, particularly in Africa. While industrialisation has made quality potable water accessible to women in cities and urban areas, this is unfortunately not the case in rural areas and thus poses a major challenge to the realisation of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals in Nigeria. In cities and urban areas, people have managed to establish reliable water sources through boreholes, for example, while rural dwellers are still dependent on government intervention, philanthropies and non-governmental organisations to be able to have access to water of adequate quality. Considering the geographic location of South Africa, its peculiar water problem could be expected to be worse than in Nigeria. On the contrary, the South African government's involvement in water-renewable techniques and other strategies in making quality water available to all its citizens differs from the situation in Nigeria. This article illustrates that the right to water as a natural resource, to which citizens are entitled as a component of the right to development, is anchored in law. To ensure the realisation of this right, we draw inspiration from academic and industrial approaches and water-renewable techniques for development, improvement, and implementation in South Africa to suggest ways for Nigeria to improve on its water strategy. ; http://journals.ufs.ac.za/index.php/jjs ; am2020 ; Centre for Human Rights
