P. Fasae Science Technology Department, The Federal Polytechnic, PMB 5354 Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria. E -mail address: [email protected] Abstract Building raw materials and processed products can vary greatly in radionuclide contents depending on the character and the geology of the their origin. 160 samples of Brick block and 160 samples of Concrete block for constructing dwellings were collected across the Ekiti State, Nigeria. The activity concentrations of 40 K, 226 Ra and 232 Th in the Brick block and Concrete block samples were determined by using gamma-ray spectrometry using a 7.62 cm × 7.62 cm NaI(Tl) detector of dimension, housed in a 6 cm thick lead shield. The results show that the mean activity concentration values of 572.6 ± 175.9 Bq kg -1, 47.9 ± 9.8 Bq kg -1 and 63.8 ± 9.4 Bq kg -1 for 40 K, 226 Ra and 232 Th respectively in concrete blocks are higher compared to the the mean activity concentration values 351.1 ± 3.1 Bq kg -118.7 ± 6.2 Bq kg -1 and 39.8 ± 3.5 Bq kg -1obtained in brick blocks. The absorbed dose rate, Annual dose equivalent, the external hazard and the qualification coefficients were determined.

  • Assessing the Impact of Soil Erosion on Residential Areas of Efon-Alaaye Ekiti, Ekiti-State, Nigeria
    International Journal of Environmental Planning and Management Vol. 5, No. 1, 2019, pp. 23-31 http://www.aiscience.org/journal/ijepm ISSN: 2381-7240 (Print); ISSN: 2381-7259 (Online) Assessing the Impact of Soil Erosion on Residential Areas of Efon-Alaaye Ekiti, Ekiti-State, Nigeria Olusa Adekemi Opeyemi 1, *, Faturoti Helen Abidemi 2, Otokiti Kolade Victor 3 Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria Abstract Soil erosion is a persistent process that continues relatively unnoticed, or at an alarming rate causing serious threats to soil. About 84% of the global land loss has been attributed to erosion. Accordingly, erosion is one of the most significant environmental problems worldwide. In this paper, Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) were used to assess the impact of soil erosion on residential areas of Efon-Alaayee Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria. Soil erodability, slope, land cover and support practice factors were the variables used to investigate the impact of soil erosion in the study area. As an output, a soil loss map was developed and the total land area at risk of being lost to erosion was estimated from the analysis. The soil loss map was calculated to be between 0 to > 756.60 tons per hectare (31.9 sq.km) in a year. The soil map was classified into four categories based on erosion risk classes, namely: slight, moderate, high and very high. The result indicates that 21.8 sq.km area is under slight class, 6.5 sq.km area is under moderate class, 2.7 sq.km is under high class while, 0.54km sq.km area is under very high class.

Justus b a Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Federal Polytechnic Ado-Ekiti, Ado-Ekiti, 360231, Nigeria b Department of Statistics, Federal Polytechnic Ile-Oluji, Ile-Oluji, 3751110, Nigeria Received: 15 March 2017; Accepted: 13 February 2019; Published: 08 April 2019 Abstract It’s is no longer news that the Local Government (Third-tier of government in Nigeria) has not been able to optimally discharge its responsibilities according to its mandate. This had raised serious policy and research concerns that resulted to several reformative approaches in a bid to restructuring the system for efficient service delivery in the past decade. One major unpopular reason for inefficient service delivery was poor administration in the Local Government as a result of unbalanced distribution of personnel by cadre and gender in each local government in the state. This had not only hampered local government administration but also impeded adequate provision of expected services to local populace in line with its mandate as enshrined in the fourth schedule of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Application of Statistical analysis using Chi-square Test of Independence showed that distribution of employees by cadre depends on local government in post in the year under study.

Lamidi: An Evaluation of Peace Building Strategies in Southwestern Nigeria: Quantitative and Qualitative Examples Introduction This paper took a departure from the World Summit in 2005 when Kofi Annan's proposal provided an insight into the creation of peacebuilding architecture. Arising from the plan of the proposal, strategies of peacebuilding were outlined to be useful before communal conflict as peace-making mechanisms and after conflict as peace-keeping techniques (Barnett, Kim, O.Donnell & Sitea, 2007). The crux of this paper is that, in spite of these peace enhancement strategies, most developing countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America are yet to enjoy long- term, sustained and durable peace (Okoro, 2014; & MacGinty, 2013).

Ezekiel, Dada O. Michael Dept. of Civil Engineering The Federal Polytechnic Ado - Ekiti, Nigeria. [email protected] Abstract — In Civil Engineering construction The present and future states of any Civil all over the World, soil is indispensable as it forms Engineering structures lie majorly on the soil beneath foundation of everything. Thus there is need for its foundation. Most of the soils that are readily proper study / analysis of its properties especially available within our vicinity do not contain all the mechanical ones. This study is aimed at nutrients needed to make them suitable for some investigating the mechanical properties of some important Civil Engineering structures, hence they are Ekiti State soil. Soil samples collected from the being discarded. This usually results in seeking for study area were subjected to laboratory tests (i.e. expensive materials from far away burrow pit. At times, Grain Size Analysis and Atterberg Limits tests) in huge amount of money is used in stabilization process its untreated states. The results of the tests of the available soil in other to suit the construction carried out on the untreated soil samples purpose ([9]). indicated that Efon Alaaye, Gbonyin, Ido – Osi, It is hard to overlook the importance(s) of soil in Ijero and Oye LGAs soils were generally classified construction of structures and other aspect of Civil as Granular soil material with mainly Silty – Engineering practices.
