Impacts of Climate Change Scenarios on Fasciola Gigantica Risk in Semi-Arid West Africa: a Case Study of Sokoto State, Nigeria

In recent years, an observed increase in the prevalence of the disease in Western Africa has been attributed to the changes in regional climatic conditions. This study aims to employ climate predictions to predict future seasonal infection risk in Sokoto State, Nigeria and provide a basis for targeted active disease monitoring to inform the need for control measures. -
An Analysis of What Works and What Doesn't
Radicalisation and Deradicalisation in Nigeria: An Analysis of What Works and What Doesn’t Nasir Abubakar Daniya i Radicalisation and Deradicalisation in Nigeria: An Analysis of What Works and What Doesn’t. Nasir Abubakar Daniya Student Number: 13052246 A Thesis Submitted in Fulfilment of Requirements for award of: Professional Doctorate Degree in Policing Security and Community Safety London Metropolitan University Faculty of Social Science and Humanities March 2021 Thesis word count: 104, 482 ii Abstract Since Nigeria’s independence from Britain in 1960, the country has made some progress while also facing some significant socio-economic challenges. Despite being one of the largest producers of oil in the world, in 2018 and 2019, the Brooking Institution and World Poverty Clock respectively ranked Nigeria amongst top three countries with extreme poverty in the World. Muslims from the north and Christians from the south dominate the country; each part has its peculiar problem. There have been series of agitations by the militants from the south to break the country due to unfair treatments by the Nigerian government. They produced multiple violent groups that killed people and destroyed properties and oil facilities. In the North, an insurgent group called Boko Haram emerges in 2009; they advocated for the establishment of an Islamic state that started with warning that, western education is prohibited. Reports say the group caused death of around 100,000 and displaced over 2 million people. As such, Niger Delta Militancy and Boko Haram Insurgency have been major challenges being faced by Nigeria for about a decade. To address such challenges, the Nigerian government introduced separate counterinsurgency interventions called Presidential Amnesty Program (PAP) and Operation Safe Corridor (OSC) in 2009 and 2016 respectively, which are both aimed at curtailing Militancy and Insurgency respectively. -

Structural Interpretation of Northern Sokoto Basin, Using Airborne Magnetic Data
ISSN(Online): 2319-8753 ISSN (Print): 2347-6710 International Journal of Innovative Research in Science, Engineering and Technology (A High Impact Factor, Monthly, Peer Reviewed Journal) Visit: www.ijirset.com Vol. 7, Issue 7, July 2018 Structural Interpretation of Northern Sokoto Basin, Using Airborne Magnetic Data Ibe Stephen O.1, Uche Iduma2 Senior Lecturer, Department of Physics, Federal University Otuoke, Bayelsa State, Nigeria1 Geophysicist, Nigerian Geological Survey Agency Abuja, Nigeria 2 ABSTRACT: Analysis of high resolution aeromagnetic data was carried out to evaluate the structural complexity of Sokoto Basin, Northern Nigeria. The total magnetic intensity data covering the basin were processed and filtered using First vertical derivative (FVD) and Horizontal gradient (HG) filters. The FVD and HG were computed to enhance faults, fractures and folds. Ten major fault systems were defined trending majorly in the NE-SW direction with minor NW-SE trends. The lineament of the area was extracted and plotted to define the major trends of both major and minor structures. The lineament map and corresponding rose plot show a dominate NE-SW trend with minor NW-SE, EW and NS structures within the study area. The structural complexity was computed using the lineament map. The lineament density map shows that the eastern part of Gwadebawa, Jiga Birne, Jega, Wamako, Sokoto, Raka, Gayawa, Manu, Giden Madi, Matona, Talata Mafara, Moriki, Gada, Dakko and Baban Baki are intensely deformed. Kuka, Birnin Kebbi, Kaingwa, Binji, Satuka, Tureta, Rabah, Isa, Sabon Birni and eastern part of Raka are moderately deformed; and Satuka, Arbkwe, Bui, Kuka, Botawa, Binji, Sabon Birni, southern part of Tureta and eastern part of Manu are less deformation. -

Trends in Cross-Border Mobility of Pastoralists and Its Implications on the Farmer-Herder Conflicts
TRENDS IN CROSS-BORDER MOBILITY OF PASTORALISTS AND ITS IMPLICATIONS ON THE FARMER-HERDER CONFLICTS Odunaiya Samson Kebbi State University of Science and Technology Aliero 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Communities in Sokoto have experienced violence between farmers and pastoralists. The latter are divided into sedentary pastoralists, who are Nigerians and mostly herd in communities in Sokoto, and migratory pastoralists, who are transhumant herders migrating into Nigeria through the Sokoto-Niger Republic border in Tangaza local government area and other bordering communities. The destinations of migratory pastoralists in Nigeria have remained the same to this very day; however, there has been a change in the routes and migratory patterns. The alteration of the historical migratory trends and patterns can be attributed to encroachment of grazing routes by farmers, which have caused pastoralists to neglect grazing and seek alternative routes. Hence, roads and farmlands are used for passage. In addition, security challenges in Zamfara state, cattle rustling, superstitious traditional beliefs, unlawful allocation of grazing reserves by politicians for farming, and nighttime herding are other factors that have caused the change in migration patterns. The population of pastoralists migrating into Nigeria has increased significantly when compared to that of the past. This can be attributed to the increase in the population of pastoralists and livestock, and desertification in the Sahel which is forcing more pastoralists into Nigeria. Though the relationship between migratory pastoralists and farmers has been hostile in nature, the same cannot be said of the relationship between sedentary and migratory pastoralists, which has been peaceful and mutual. The continuous dispute caused by changes in migratory trends have tended to spark cycles of reprisal attacks and can cause regional tensions with the bordering country of Niger Republic. -

Violence in Nigeria : a Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis
Marc-Antoine Pérouse de Montclos (ed.) West African Politics and Society series 3 Violence in Nigeria Violence in Nigeria Violence in Nigeria Most of the academic literature on violence in Nigeria is qualitative. It rarely relies on quantitative data because police crime statistics are not reliable, or not available, or not even published. Moreover, the training of A qualitative and Nigerian social scientists often focuses on qualitative, cultural, and political issues. There is thus quantitative analysis a need to bridge the qualitative and quantitative approaches of conflict studies. This book represents an innovation and fills a gap in this regard. It is the first to introduce a discussion on such issues in a coherent manner, relying on a database that fills the lacunae in A qualitative and quantitative data from the security forces. The authors underline the necessity of a trend analysis to decipher the patterns and the complexity of violence in very different fields: from oil production to cattle breeding, radical Islam to motor accidents, land conflicts to witchcraft, and so on. In addition, analysis they argue for empirical investigation and a complementary approach using both qualitative and quantitative data. The book is therefore organized into two parts, with a focus first on statistical Marc-Antoine studies, then on fieldwork. Pérouse de Montclos (ed.)
