In Ogun State, the UBE Act was passed into law in 2005 after that of the Federal government in 2004, hence, the demonstration of the intention to make the UBE free, compulsory and universal. The aspects of the policy which is capital intensive require the government to provide adequately for basic education in the area of organization, funding, staff development, facilities, among others. With the commencement of the scheme in 1999/2000 until-date, Ogun State, especially in the area of facility provision, has joined in the collaborative effort with the Federal government through counter-part funding to provide some facilities to schools in the State, especially at the Primary level. These facilities include textbooks (in core subjects’ areas- Mathematics, English, Social Studies and Primary Science), blocks of classrooms, furniture, laboratories/library, teachers, etc. This study attempts to assess the level of articulation by the Ogun State Government of its UBE policy within the general framework of the scheme in providing facilities to schools at the primary level.

    Ijebu-Ode Ile-Ife Truck Road South- West Nigeria. Client: Federal Ministry of Works Lagos- Nigeria. Location: Osun- Ogun State - Nigeria. Date: 1977 The Nigerian Federal Ministry of Works commissioned Allott (Nigeria) Limited to undertake the location, survey and detailed design of a new trunk road to link the towns of Ijebu Ode Ile-Ife and Sekona which lie to the north of Lagos and south east of Ibadan. The route over which this road was to pass was through thick tropical rain forest and sparsely populated. Access was difficult and the existing dirt roads were impassable in the rainy season. A suitable was located from a study of aerial photography and a ground reconnaissance which was followed by a traverse survey. The detailed design of the road’s alignment was carried out using the latest computer-aided techniques, further to the results of the topographical survey. Other field work Included a hydrological survey and a borehole survey. On completion of the design, the centre line of the new road was staked out by the field team. The proposed road had a two lane carriageway with bituminous surfacing, a crushed stone base and a laterite sub- base. The total length was 140km and there were a total of 13 bridges. The two major structures were the 150m long 6-span bridge over the River Oshun and the 75m long 3-span bridge over the River Shasha.

Nigeria: Badoo cult, including areas of operation and activities; state response to the group; treatment of Badoo members or alleged members (2016-December 2019) 1. Overview Nigerian media sources have reported on the following: "'Badoo Boys'" (The Sun 27 Aug. 2019); "Badoo cult" (Vanguard with NAN 2 Jan. 2018; This Day 22 Jan. 2019); "Badoo gang" (Business Day 9 July 2017); "Badoo" (Vanguard with NAN 2 Jan. 2018). A July 2017 article in the Nigerian newspaper Business Day describes Badoo as "[a] band of rapists and ritual murderers that has been wreaking havoc on residents of Ikorodu area" of Lagos state (Business Day 9 July 2017). The article adds that [t]he Badoo gang’s reign of terror has reportedly spread throughout Lasunwon, Odogunyan, Ogijo, Ibeshe Tutun, Eruwen, Olopomeji and other communities in Ikorodu. Their underlying motivation seems to be ritualistic in nature. The gang members are reported to wipe their victims’ private part[s] with a white handkerchief after each rape for onward delivery to their alleged sponsors; slain victims have also been said to have had their heads smashed with a grinding stone and their blood and brain soaked with white handkerchiefs for ritual purposes. Latest reports quoted an arrested member of the gang to have told the police that each blood-soaked handkerchief is sold for N500,000 [Nigerian Naira, NGN] [approximately C$2,000]. (Business Day 9 July 2017) A 2 January 2018 report in the Nigerian newspaper Vanguard provided the following context: It all started after a suspect, described by some residents of Ikorodu area as a "serial rapist and ritual killer," was arrested at Ibeshe.
