Text Message Reminders (TMRs) through mobile phones have been used to promote adoption of innovations; however, its effectiveness in enhancing the completion of RI in rural areas has not been adequately investigated. This study was designed to evaluate the effects of TMRs on knowledge and completion of RI by Mothers of Infants (MI) in rural Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Oyo State, Nigeria. The adopted quasi-experimental design involved random selection of Ibarapa North (IN) and Kajola from the list of 12 rural LGAs with highest immunisation dropout rates. Ibarapa North and Kajola were randomly allocated to Intervention Group (IG) and Control Group (CG), respectively by balloting. Five Primary Health Care facilities in each LGA with RI services were randomly selected out of 10 facilities in each LGA. All consenting 179 MI in IG and 187 MI in CG who registered their children at the health facilities for RI in June 2014 were enrolled.

A. 2 *1Department of Economics, Nile University of Nigeria, FCT Abuja, Nigeria 2Department of Agricultural Economics, University of Ibadan, Ibadan Nigeria 3Forestry Research Institute of Nigeria, Jericho Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria *Corresponding Author Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The study determined the saving culture of rural households in Ibarapa East Local Government of Oyo State. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 200 respondents for the study and questionnaire was used to elicit information from the respondents. Descriptive statistics and Probit regression were used to analyse the data. The result shows that the mean household size was 7, an indication of a relatively large average household size. The result of Probit regression shows a positive relationship between the income of respondents and their participation in commercial banks. However, participation of the respondents in Bank of Agriculture (BOA) is very low due to their poor awareness of the program. The result also reveals that distant to commercial banks, collateral and high interest rate hampered the respondents’ access to loan. The study recommends that activities of unorganized rural bank should be strengthened by the Government.

Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression. Results show that various livelihood activities were engaged in by the respondents, prominent among which were food crop production, cash crop production, charcoal production, among others. Among the factors that were responsible for wood harvesting in the region, only age, occupation, household size and the distance of respondent’s house to the forest were significant at 5%. It was observed that excessive wood harvesting has negatively affected the forests in the study area as most of the forests have been greatly degraded.

F.; & EKPENI, N. M. DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY UNIVERSITY OF LAGOS AKOKA, YABA, LAGOS LAGOS STATE, NIGERIA [email protected], +2348075012329 ABSTRACT Agriculture is the major income source in Nigeria’s rural areas. Climatic variability and rising cost of agricultural inputs and household consumables without corresponding rise in agricultural product prices are however driving noted rural farmers to adopt alternative livelihood strategies. Charcoal production has now become a significant source of supplementary income for residents of rural communities in several parts of Nigeria. This study assessed the role of non-farm sources in household income diversification in Oyo state with focus on the contribution of charcoal production and its implication for sustainable development. Participatory rural appraisal techniques of Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and structured interview/questionnaire were adopted. Results of the social survey indicated that farming is still the dominant activity in the region with about 80% of the respondents involved. Households employed an average of 2 income activities with share of off-farm income and Herfindahl Diversification Index of 0.68 and 0.78 respectively, showing a high magnitude of diversification. An adaptation cycle was also constructed based on their current realities, to guide specific interventions. Formalization of production activities and development of other economic activities were suggested to ensure sustainability of forest resources in the area.

  • The Interface Between Guinea-Worm Disease Eradication Intervention and Farming Challenges Among the Ibarapa People of Oyo State, Nigeria
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 3 No. 8 [Special Issue – April 2013] The Interface between Guinea-Worm Disease Eradication Intervention and Farming Challenges among the Ibarapa People of Oyo State, Nigeria Patrick Ifechukwude Okonji Department of Sociology University of Lagos Nigeria E-mail: [email protected] +2348059859617 Abstract This Study investigated the interface between the poverty condition of the farmers of Ibarapa and the acclaimed success of external intervention for the eradication of guinea-worm disease to improve the welfare of the local people and to promote economic development. The general objective of the study is to determine the lacuna between the activities of the external agents, the local operators of the programme and the welfare of the recipients. To execute the study a qualitative research approach was adopted with Focus group discussions administered on a total of 6 groups of palace chiefs and hamlet farmers, with an average of 5 of the participants purposively selected to represent both the Chiefs and Farmers categories respectively from the three local government areas that make up the Ibarapa. The findings reveal a massive intervention in the provision of potable water that is not culturally situated and hence a potential lag for guinea-worm disease. It also reveals that the seeming elimination of the disease is related to the absence of full farming activities. Keywords: Guinea worm eradication, Farm desertion, Non-culture specific intervention, Compradors Introduction Most countries and societies in sub-Saharan Africa have had the unfortunate experience of the area wide intervention that is not community based, and apart from concerns over environmental and natural resources conservation, an economic crisis has affected most of the people.
