  • Fine Particulate Distribution and Assessment in Nasarawa State – Nigeria
    IOSR Journal of Applied Physics (IOSR-JAP) e-ISSN: 2278-4861.Volume 8, Issue 2 Ver. I (Mar. - Apr. 2016), PP 32-38 www.iosrjournals Fine Particulate Distribution and Assessment in Nasarawa State – Nigeria J.U. Ugwuanyi1, A.A. Tyovenda2, T.J. Ayua3 1,2,3 Department Of Physics, University Of Agriculture Makurdi, Benue State - Nigeria Abstract: The purpose of this work is to analyze fine particulate matter (PM10 ) distribution in the ambient air of some major towns in Nasarawa State-North central Nigeria using a high volume respirable dust sampler (APM 460 NL) model, also the meteorological parameters of the State have been correlated with the measured values. Ambient air laden with suspended particulates enter the APM 460 NL system through the inlet pipe, which separates the air into fine and coarse particles. The PM10 concentrations were analyzed to obtain the monthly average PM10 concentration and monthly maximum concentration. The results show that Nasarawa State towns of Karu and Lafia have fine particulates loading in the ambient air more than the recommended standard set by NAAQS and WHO. Variation trends of pollution levels were also identified. The fine particulate matter PM10 average concentrations in the ambient air of Nasarawa State towns had average values increase in the range of 4.0 – 18.0µg/m3 per month. The level of monthly increase of maximum average concentrations also had readings in the range of 8.0 – 20.0 µg/m3 per month. These values were compared with the NAAQS to obtain the toxicity potential for all the study towns in the State.

Email: [email protected] Abstract Investigation of Africanswine fever (ASF) antibody in pig population was carried out on serum samples collected from 127 different pigs in Akwanga, Keffi, Awe and Keana local government areas(LGAs)of Nasarawa State of Nigeria by indirect Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA).One of the samples (2.00%)tested positive, and 49(98%) tested negative out of the 50 (100%) serum samples collected from Awe LGA. Serum samples from different pigs from Keana, Akwanga and Keffi LGAs were all negative for the test.Pigs with demonstrable antibody should be considered as chronic carriers of the virus because it is doubtful that true recovery ever occurs. Control measures such as good management and all animal that is positive for ASF antibody test should be destroyed with adequate compensation are suggested most especially in a situation where there is no much report about the disease in Nasarawa state before the disease spread to other animals. Keywords: African swine fever, serum, Antibody, Awe, Nasarawa state *Author for Correspondence Adenaike E.A, Tekdek.L.B., Kazeem.

  • An Assessment of the Development Potentials of Nasarawa State in Nigeria
    IOSR Journal Of Environmental Science, Toxicology And Food Technology (IOSR-JESTFT) e-ISSN: 2319-2402,p- ISSN: 2319-2399. Volume 6, Issue 6 (Nov. - Dec. 2013), PP 01-05 www.Iosrjournals.Org An Assessment of the Development Potentials of Nasarawa State in Nigeria Yaro, Obadiah Otso; Ebuga, Emmanuel Attah Department of Pre-ND Department of Estate Management Nasarawa State Polytechnic, Lafia Abstract: The paper examines the development potentials of Nasarawa state in Nigeria as they relate to the growth and development. Information were generated through field survey, focused group discussion (FGD) and secondary sources. The development potentials are numerous. These include solid minerals, agriculture, human resources, tropical climate, tourism potentials, education, livestock, water resources, forest resources and land resource considering its proximity to Abuja, the Federal Capital City of Nigeria. Proper harnessing of these resources will no doubt place Nasarawa State Government in a better position to create a vibrant economy that would have a lot to offer in terms of wealth and income generation, employment creation and infrastructural development with poverty alleviation as a consequence. This paper concludes by suggesting partnership approach in harnessing these untapped resources where other alternatives fail. Keywords: Development potentials, growth, development, synergy. I. Introduction Located in the central region of Nigeria, Nasarawa State was created out of Plateau state on October 1st 1996 with its headquarters at Lafia. The State lies between latitude 7 45’ and 9 25’N of the equator and between 7 and 9 37’E of the Greenwich meridian and it covers a land mass of 27,862km2 with a population of 1,863,275 people according to 2006 provisional census spread in the thirteen (13) local government areas of the state namely Akwanga, Awe, Doma, Karu, Keffi, Kokona, Lafia, Nassarawa Eggon, Nassarawa, Obi, Toto and Wamba.

  • A Dictionary of Eggon
    A DICTIONARY OF EGGON This is a version of a dictionary of the Eggon language apparently prepared by I.D. Hepburn in the 1940s. Mr. Hepburn was also responsible for the translation of the New Testament into Eggon. A photocopy of the original was taken by Ian Maddieson and the present draft edition has been prepared from the photocopy. The initial typing was done by Clement Madugu in Kaduna and the computer text-processing was carried out by Roger Blench in Cambridge. The text has been modernised in many places and the intention is to use this as a basis for publishing a modern tone-marked dictionary of Eggon. Additional entries have been added on the basis of fieldnotes from the files of Ian Maddieson. This is an appropriate place to pay tribute to the author of this dictionary which displays an extremely wide range of interests and elicits a great many unusual lexical items.

  • Landfill Site Selection for Solid Waste Management in Karu Lga, Nasarawa State, Nigeria
    International Journal of Trend in Research and Development, Volume 3(6), ISSN: 2394-9333 www.ijtrd.com Landfill Site Selection for Solid Waste Management in Karu Lga, Nasarawa State, Nigeria Rakiat Ladi Haruna, Alaga T.A, Gajere E.N, Ukor Chioma and Amos S.I Cooperative Information Network (COPINE), NASRDA, National Centre For Remote Sensing (NCRA), Jos., Obafemi Awolowo University, Oau Campus, Ile- Ife, Nigeria Abstract: Solid waste disposal is a crucial problem in the urban and rural areas because most solid wastes are not dumped in the suitable areas. Karu LGA has the challenge of solid waste dumping site identification. The specific objectives of this study were to: map and identify the existing landfill site and dump sites in the study area and to identify potential suitable landfill site(s) in the study area. The main data used for this study were SRTM image with a spatial resolution of 30m spatial resolution, Landsat 8 OLI imagery, google earth imagery and ground control point (GCP) collected by ground point survey (GPS). The maps were prepared by overlay and suitability analysis of geographic information system (GIS), remote sensing techniques and multi criteria analysis methods. The potential suitability map was prepared by overlay analyses on Arc map and suitability levels as high, moderate, less suitable, and unsuitable sites of the study area were determined. The results indicate that 37.7% of the study area is unsuitable for solid waste dumping; 44.29% less suitable; 14.97% moderately suitable; and 3.0 % most suitable. The GIS and remote sensing techniques are important tools for solid waste site selection.

The study covered a wide range of socio-economic and demographic variables from the households, such that income of household heads, household size, educational status of household heads, methods and frequency/efficiency of waste collection; waste bins by households and disposals facilities used as well as the role played by government in waste management in the study area were investigated. The study area was divided into Masaka, Karu and Mararaba communities. The results were largely based on the data generated through the administration of questionnaires. 300 copies of questionnaires were administered to household heads in the three areas selected, where Masaka area had 75; Karu area had 108 while Mararaba area had 117.
