Kano State Water Board (KSWB) was saddle with responsibility of domestic water supply to the entire state. The state have about 22 water treatment plants that source, treat and distribute water to the residents of the study area. The data collected were from secondary sources, descriptive statistics was the statistical instruments used in the data analysis. KSWB supply about 415 million litres daily (MLD) to the Kano city and its environs and about 92 MLD to local government headquarters and semi-urban areas. Similarly, there about 50 commercial water standing pumps being operated and maintained by KSWB to ease water supply to nook and crannies of the state.Where pipe borne water is not connected, boreholes, hands pumped and concrete wells are constructed by Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Agency (RUWASA) to ease water supply at sufficient quality and quantity to rural communities in the state.

    Introducing the Immunity Boosting Sweet Potato to Kano State Nigeria is one of the countries with the highest risk of Vitamin A Deficiency (VAD). It is also particularly challenging to reach the most vulnerable children in rural, hard to reach communities as these communities are often missed during Vitamin A supplementation programs. As such, only two in five children receive adequate levels of supplementation, leaving a higher percentage of children at risk of Vitamin A Deficiency (VAD). National surveys show that Kano state has one of the lowest vitamin A uptake levels. eHealth Africa received funding from the German Cooperation (GIZ) to implement a pilot project with the goal of supplementing vitamin A uptake and Pictures from the hands-on training and cooking demon- diversifying the diets of GIZ farmers in Kano state stration. through the introduction of Orange- Fleshed Sweet Potato (OFSP).

The State has 44local govemment areas out of which 18 are Meso endemic with few hyper-endemic foci. The State falls in the Sudan Savannah and Sahel zones. Howeyer, the endemic areas are generally located in the Sudan savannah. The Ivermectin Distribution Programme (IDP) is in the 7th treatment round in some of the LGAs while in the 6th treatment round in others. However, CDTI strategy started in 1999. The CDTI project is therefore implemented in 779 communities of the 18 APOC approved local governments. Mobilization of the community members was conducted in all the targeted communities. In addition to mobilization, the state officials conducted advocacy visits to all the endemic local government Areas. The Launching of the commencement of 2002 prograrnme, which was performed by His Excellency, the Deputy Governor of Kano State increased awareness and acceptance of Mectizan by the people in the State. Electronic media, town criers and CDDs were among the mobilization strategies adopted for community mobilization. Targeted Training and re-training of CDTI programme personnel was conducted at state, LGA, and community levels, for those that are new in the programme as well as those with training dfficulties.

  • Analysis of Spatial Variation in Agricultural Development Programmes in Kano State, Nigeria
    ISSN (Print): 2476-8316 ISSN (Online): 2635-3490 Dutse Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences (DUJOPAS), Vol. 4 No. 2 December 2018 Analysis of Spatial Variation in Agricultural Development Programmes In Kano State, Nigeria Abdulkadir, H¹*; Adefila, J. O²; & Yusuf, R. O.2 ¹Department of Geography, Saadatu Rimi College of Education, Kano State, Nigeria. [email protected] 2 Department of Geography and Environmental Management, Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, Nigeria Abstract Agriculture is an important sector in the economic development and poverty alleviation drive of many countries. The importance of this sector is more pronounced in developing countries such as Nigeria. The persistent failure of agricultural development programmes in Nigeria has demonstrated the weakness of the policies coupled with inability of the successive administrations to resolve the fundamental problems of development. The major goal of this study is to analyse spatial variation in agricultural development programmes in Kano State. Questionnaire survey and documented materials constituted major sources of data. Twelve Local Government Areas were purposely selected across the three Senatorial districts. A total of 384 respondents were randomly selected in the administration of the questionnaire. Descriptive statistics was used to summarize the data. Also, inferential statistics such as the location quotient (LQ) was employed to measure level of variations in agricultural development programmes. The location quotient result is categorized into upper, middle and bottom based on the performance of each Local Government Area in agricultural development programmes The upper group include Tofa(0.80), Madobi(1.10), Warawa(1.20) and Kura (1.30) While the middle group include Gwarzo(1.34), Gaya (1.39), Danbatta(1.40) and Tsanyawa(1.45).

The Global Partnership for /Nigerian Partnership for Education is a multilateral intervention of $100 M grant to Nigeria, which is notionally allocated to 5 States of Northwest; Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina and Sokoto with Kano having a share of $27 m. A. The Project Development Objective is to improve access and quality of Basic education particularly for Girls as well as to strengthen Planning and Management System. The Project became effective in February 2016. Significant changes in terms of increase in enrollment, bridging gender gaps, improved learning Environments, quality delivery of teaching and learning activities as well as improved community participation and school based management are being experienced. In addition, project officers have attended various capacity building trainings. From the total number of 52 technical Implementation team 42 have attended workshops/ training. We are grateful for the state’s initiative in establishing the sustainable structure of the Education Promotion Committee (EPC) in all the 44LGAs Project Coordination, Steering Committee and Technical Teams B. It has been very difficult for us to conduct regular Steering Committee meetings. The Technical Team is composed of 52 professional officers drawn from the Ministry Headquarters, SUBEB, KSSSMB, STSB and QISMB. Each of the 9 component is headed by a director or deputy director with an average of 5memebers including the representative of Dfid. They meet bi-monthly while emergency meetings are conducted as required. The project maintained constant contact with His Excellency the Deputy Governor and Honorable Commissioner Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Innovation and the State Executive Council was informed on status of implementation.

The results obtained revealed three to four geo-electric layers of the subsurface. The third weathered basement and a forth fractured basement rock constitutes the Aquiferous water bearing layers with resistivity ranges from 6Ωm - 265Ωm respectively with average thickness of 19m and 15m respectively. The result shows the weathered regolith to be thicker than the fractured bedrock layer; average depth range of boreholes in the area is between 30m-35m while the average static water levels in dug wells is 8.3m. It is highly recommended that a spread of between 75-85m be used in the future and also the use of EM method to locate deep fractures as important in maximizing the borehole yield.

All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Societal Responses to the State of Orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) in Kano Metropolis- Nigeria by MUSTAPHA HASHIM KURFI has been approved for the Center for International Studies by Steve Howard Professor of African Studies Steve Howard Director, African Studies Daniel Weiner Executive Director, Center for International Studies 3 ABSTRACT KURFI, MUSTAPHA HASHIM, M.A., June 2010, African Studies Societal Responses to the State of Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) in Kano Metropolis- Nigeria (131 pp.) Director of Thesis: Steve Howard This study uses qualitative methodology to examine the contributions of Non- Governmental Organizations in response to the conditions of Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) in Kano metropolis. The study investigates what these organizations do, what methods, techniques, and strategies they employ to identify the causes of OVC’s conditions for intervention. The study acknowledges colonization, globalization, poverty, illiteracy, and individualism as contributing factors to OVC’s conditions. However, essentially, the study identifies gross misunderstanding between paternal and maternal relatives of children to be the main factor responsible for the OVC’s conditions. This social disorganization puts the children in difficult conditions including exposure to health, educational, moral, emotional, psychological, and social problems. The thesis concludes that through “collective efficacy” the studied organizations are a perfect means for solving-problem.
