Data were collected using structured questionnaires and field observations. Results showed a 100% response to questionnaires administered. Eighty three percent (83%) of the respondents were males while 17% were females. Eighty percent (80%) attended at least primary school level of education while 20% had no form of formal education. Prominent among occupation of respondents was farming with 40% and the occupation of respondents with list response was hunting with 1%. Field observations showed the presence of the following human activities: logging, firewood collection, fishing, farm encroachment, cattle grazing and poaching. The implication of these socio-economic activities in PGR if left uncontrolled could result to biodiversity lost. A multi-stakeholder approach and participatory management of the reserve which will consider the socio-economic concerns of locals have been suggested as a critical component for building cooperation. These if properly exploited is believed will contribute substantially to biodiversity sustainability in PGR. DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.4314/jasem.v24i6.6 Copyright: Copyright © 2020 DA’AN et al.

Biodiversity rich areas are increasingly being Although it has been opined that rural communities surrounded by growing human populations with dwelling around biodiversity areas utilise wildlife attendant pressures (Joppa, 2012) especially in resources more sustainably than the urban dwellers developing countries (Mwanfupe, 1998). Excessive (Fernández-Baca and Martin, 2007; Githiru, 2007), it anthropogenic activities such as poaching, livestock is unsustainable to use such resources as basic source herding, fuel wood collection, farm encroachment, of livelihood support by these growing populations logging and bush burning causes distortion in the around biodiversity areas. This is because livelihood equilibrium of ecosystems (Connell and Slatyer 1977, support activities have been known to be key drivers Pickett et al., 1992, Mathisen et al., 2012).

  • An Assessment of Operation Rainbow As a Mechanism for Peace- Building in Plateau State, Nigeria
    www.ijird.com February, 2017 Vol 6 Issue 2 ISSN 2278 – 0211 (Online) An Assessment of Operation Rainbow as a Mechanism for Peace- building in Plateau State, Nigeria Ndako Salihu Haruna Research Fellow, Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution Abuja, Nigeria Gowal Beji Bekuma Research Fellow, Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution Abuja, Nigeria Andrew Bogoro Elias Research Fellow , Institute for Peace and Conflict Abuja, Nigeria Abstract: The study assessed Operation Rainbow as a mechanism for Peace- building in Plateau State. Operation Rainbow was created by Plateau State Government which includes civilians to address the perceived harassment by the Federal Government Joint Security Task Force in Plateau State to coil the lingering crises that engulfed the State most especially Jos North and Jos South Local Government Areas. The result shows that resource rivalry, power politics are factors that promote conflict in Plateau state as people struggle for power; there is collaboration between the Operation Rainbow and other security agencies to tackle the crises which leads to significant Peace-building. This study concludes that the lack of sincere conflict resolution efforts in Jos resulted in the transformation of a once-localized confrontation between political elites of different ethnic groups into a protracted communal conflict with a strong religious dimension. The study recommended that there is need to address Constitutional Reforms to political structure in the country. 1. Introduction Plateau state widely known as the home of peace and tourism is uniquely located in the north central geo-political zone of Nigeria. It was created in 1976 and has Jos as its capital.

  • Identity Politics and the Jos Crisis: Evidence, Lessons and Challenges of Good Governance
    African Journal of History and Culture (AJHC) Vol. 2(3), pp. 42-52, April 2010 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/AJHC © 2010 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Identity politics and the Jos crisis: Evidence, lessons and challenges of good governance Terhemba Nom Ambe-Uva School of International Studies, National Open University of Nigeria, 14-16 Ahmadu Bello Way, Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria. E-mail: [email protected]. Tel: +2348068799158. Accepted 3 March, 2010 Concerns with identity politics especially those woven around conflict have got an almost outrageous timeliness. The salient global role of ethnic and religious identity as it affects everything from democratic development to risk of disruptive communal conflicts at domestic level has become an important dimension of present-day world societies, looming largely in multiethnic societies. This paper takes a critical look at identity politics and conflict in Jos, a setting once regarded as “the home of peace and tourism in Nigeria”. The point of departure is a critical examination of the 28 November, 2008 crisis in Jos North LGA. Using in-depth interviews and content analysis of opinions, the study situates the conflict within the relationship between the “indigene-settler” syndrome and the state, with its ugly hydra-headed manifestations. It argues that the conflict with a colouration of ethnic and religious garb was also orchestrated under the façade of politics. It is suggested that the commitment of good governance and the institutionalisation of democracy remains the surest means of nipping in the bud the crises in Jos. The findings have important implications for aggregate research on ethnic and religious conflicts in Nigeria.

    The Politics and Economics of “Fadama” Irrigation and Product sales in the Tin Mining areas of the Jos Plateau in Nigeria. Draft paper for WOW working group on the politics of land, authority, and natural resources.1 Henry Gyang Mang Centre for Conflict Management and Peace Studies University of Jos, Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria. 1 Panel 3: unsettled and emergent authorities: How do authorities emerge and decline in the face of disturbance and crisis? Conflict, squatting, and migration present challenges to existing authorities. How do these disturbances reconfigure the basis of authority and the balance of power among local actors? 0 The Politics and Economics of “Fadama” Irrigation and Product sales in the Tin Mining areas of the Jos Plateau in Nigeria. Abstract This work discusses the transition in the politics and economics of irrigation farming in the Jos area of Plateau state, Nigeria. Examining the former and latter constructions of ownership, use, commerce and authority of land and products of obtained from it. The advent of commercial dry season farming called “fadama” or “lambu” in the Plateau area around the 1980’s produced a new group of temporary migrants. Itinerant farmers from the far north, who took advantage of the deserted mining ponds in and around Jos, the capital of Plateau state in Central Nigeria. This development saw the periodical use by the mainly Hausa farmers from the far north, of land in the dry season, slowly building a community in consonance with a few settled Fulani.2 A new landlord-tenant relationship emerged, which saw the “tenants” relating well with their hosts, the autochthonous “land owners” who initially were quite oblivious of this new mode of irrigation, This relationship lasted until the 1990’s when skirmishes and emerging interests of the autochthons groups brought conflict between the two groups.

  • Geotourism and Mining Heritage: a Potential Gold Mine for Central Nigeria
    Acta Geoturistica volume 9 (2018), number 1, 9-22 doi: 10.1515/agta-2018-0002 Geotourism and Mining Heritage: a Potential Gold Mine for Central Nigeria * NATHANIEL G. GOKI , SHEKWONYADU IYAKWARI AND ALLU A. UMBUGADI Department of Geology and Mining, Nasarawa State University, Nigeria (*corresponding author e-mail: [email protected]) ABSTRACT The potential for geotourism and mining heritage of some landscapes in parts of Kaduna, Plateau, Nasarawa and Kwara states in central Nigeria were studied and compiled. The result show that geological endowments range from insalbergs, flood basalts and dome structures, which presents natural landscape for tourism. The quartzite ridges of the Oreke area in Ilorin host the Owu Falls of 120m cascading waters, the Kafanchan flood basalts that flowed extensively from the Kagoro hills with extensive columnar jointing creating the prestigious water falls of over 30m all present versed potential for geotourism. Mining activity around the Jos Plateau (Bassa, Jos, Bukuru, Barakin Ladi and Bokkos areas), southern Kaduna (Godogodo and Jagindi) create landscapes that if properly beautified can become tourist landmarks. Adopting and harnessing these landscapes can boost and provide alternative revenue for the affected central. Keywords: geotourism, mining heritage, potential, development, central Nigeria. INTRODUCTION earnings. Nigeria over decades has been driving her tourism potentials as an Geotourism, with proper management has alternative revenue earner. This has made been fingered as a powerful tool for the Tourism Board to identify five major sustainable development (Newsome et al., gateways in order to drive this all important 2012). Traditionally it has been seen as a sector (Fig. 1). These gateways were form of tourism which is principally identified based on factors like existing exploiting geological attributes.

Multi-stage sampling technique was adopted. Primary data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics, gross margin and regression analysis. The results of the study revealed that the socioeconomic factors significantly affected sweet potato production. The estimated gross margin/ha was N154, 150. The estimated value of Sigma square (δ2) was 0.699, indicating that the model was well fitted for the data analysis. The coefficients of farm size (1.333), labour (0.439), fertilizer (0.452) and age (0.172) were positive and statistically significant at p<0.05 level; seed (0.362) was also positive and significant at 10% level; education (-0.639), household size (-0.472) and farm experience (-0.733) were negative but significant at p<0.05 level. Estimated mean technical efficiency index was 0.62, suggesting that farm yield can be increased by an index of 0.38, through improved management practices.

Oral interviews were conducted among traditional medical practitioners, housewives, farmers, elderly men and women. From the survey, 50 plant species distributed across 22 families were recorded with at least one medicinal, food, fodder, spiritual significance and other economic value to man and livestock. Most of the plant families recorded belonged to the family Fabaceae, which accounted for 8 species (40%) of the total plant species recorded. This was clearly followed by the family Asteraceae which had 6 species (12%), and Euphorbaceae with 4 species (8%). The families Malvaceae, Lamiaceae, Moraceae and Verbenaceae had 3 species (6%) each. Apocynaceae and Poaceae had 2 species (4%) while Rhamnaceae, Vitaceae, Annonaceae, Rubiaceae, Araliaceae, Oxalidaceae, Asparagaceae, Commelinaceae, Araceae, Asphodelaceae, Pedaleaceae, and Loranthaceae had one species each. Fifteen (15) (30%) of the fifty (50) plant species were found to be used as food, condiments and spice.

Ten (10) trial pits were dugged from where representation samples were taken and subjected to laboratory tests. They are predominantly fines (silt and clay), an indication of its great influence on the engineering properties of the soil as a whole. From the plasticity values, the soils exhibits low to medium swelling potential of 11 – 23.6. The bearing capacity of the soil at 1.5m as compared with the standard values of net bearing capacity of North central zone which is between 250-500 KN/m2 is within the recommended standard for engineering works as by calculation stands at an average of 1131. 6kN/m2. Considering the moderate compressibility of the soils, any proposed foundation in the area should be supported on raft foundations founded. However, where the project precludes the use of raft foundation pile foundation should be employed to transmit the load to
