  • Measurement of Scale Efficiency in Ginger Farms in Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Nigeria: Non-Parametric Model Approach
    MEASUREMENT OF SCALE EFFICIENCY IN GINGER FARMS IN KACHIA LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF KADUNA STATE, NIGERIA: NON-PARAMETRIC MODEL APPROACH Umar1, H.S., Yahaya2, K. and Kachiro1, S. L 1Department of Agricultural Economics and Extension, Faculty of Agriculture, Nasarawa State University Keffi, PMB 135, Shabu-Lafia Campus, Nigeria 2Department of agricultural Economics and Extension, Faculty of Agriculture, Kebbi State University of Science and Technology Aliero, PMB 1144, Nigeria Abstract The study was carried out to measure scale efficiency among ginger farmers in Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State. A two stage sampling techniques was used to select 99 ginger farmers from whom the data for the study were collected. Data were analyzed using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and descriptive statistics. Results show that the mean values of overall TE, Pure TE and scale efficiency were 0.718, 0.804 and 0.898 respectively. Only 14 % the farms were operating on the optimal scale. While about 86% of the farms were experiencing scale inefficiency (sub-optimal scale), consisting of 47% of the farms revealing increasing return to scale and 38% exhibiting decreasing returns to scale. Therefore, it is recommended that for realization of optimal production scale in the study area, farmers operating at inefficient production scale should be encouraged to either increase farm size to address scale inefficiency from IRS, or decrease farm size to remedy scale inefficiency due to DRS. Keywords: Ginger farms, scale efficiency and DEA Introduction Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is herbaceous perennial crop grown vegetative for its spicy underground rhizomes across many climates in the world. It requires a good soil tilled for production of well-shaped rhizomes (NAERLS, 2004).

  • NIGERIA | Gunmen Attack School, Abduct Students
    8.26.2020 NIGERIA | Gunmen Attack School, Abduct Students One person was killed and others were abducted following an attack on the Damba- Kasaya Community in Chikun Local Government Area, Kaduna State, on Aug. 24. One person was killed and others, including several secondary school students, were abducted following an attack on the Damba-Kasaya Community in Chikun Local Government Area (LGA), Kaduna State, on Aug. 24. According to local reports, suspected Fulani militia arrived at the community in large numbers on motorcycles at around 7:45 a.m. They invaded the Prince Academy secondary school, where they abducted a teacher identified by Nigerian media as Christiana Madugu and at least four final year students who were preparing for their Junior Secondary School examination. Schools in Kaduna state recently reopened to enable secondary school children to sit their final examinations. The kidnapped children have been named as Happy Odoji, 14, Miracle Danjuma, 13, her sister Favour Danjuma, 9, who was abducted from her home, and Ezra Bako, 15. The abductors later contacted the family of the Danjuma sisters using the teacher’s telephone to confirm they had their children, but made no further demands. The gunmen also broke into the Aminchi Baptist Church, which they set ablaze after destroying musical instruments and the public address system, before abducting other villagers. Witnesses informed local media that the military briefly engaged the assailants and then withdrew for reasons that remain unclear. Unaware of this, villagers continued to pursue the attackers, who opened fire on them, killing a man later identified as Benjamin Auta.

  • 1 Inter-Ethnic Relations and Political Marginalization in Kaduna State
    INTER-ETHNIC RELATIONS AND POLITICAL MARGINALIZATION IN KADUNA STATE: A STUDY OF CLAIMS OF DOMINATION IN THE STATE CIVIL SERVICE Mohammed, Shuaibu Department of Political Science and International Studies Faculty of Social Sciences, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria e-mail: [email protected] Abstract This study investigates the validity of agitations against marginalisation in the Kaduna state civil service by the southern Kaduna ethnic groups. The Southern Kaduna Peoples Union (SOKAPU), which claimed to represent the ethnic groups in southern part of the state argues that the ethnic composition of the public service is top heavy with people from the Northern part of the state, while the bottom is heavy with those from the Southern part of the state. Therefore, integrated threat theory is used as a theoretical guide. Furthermore, the study relies on secondary sources of data which was generated from the relevant literature, memos, official documents, Kaduna state pay-roll and other relevant materials. Also, the Federal Character Formulae was used to analyses the Kaduna state civil service workforce using the Kaduna State Budget and Treasury Management Information System (BATMIS). The study reveals that the case presented by SOKAPU over marginalisation of the southern part of the state in the public service contradict the data generated for this study. It has been empirically proved that southern parts Kaduna dominates the central and the northern parts in the state’s Civil Service. Out of the 24931 staff covered, the Southern Kaduna Zone has 12, 872 representing 51.63% while Central Zone has 4, 843 and Northern Zone has 7, 216 representing 19.43% and 28.94% respectively.

    oval pit holes (only one of which is used at a time) and for the easy use and cleaning of the booths. The floor of the booths will be reinforced concrete. The superstructure will be brick masonry which is durable and presentable. The roof will comprise long aluminium sheets. The lids for the opening of the pits will be removable precast concrete plates with handles. In front of the doors, a brick wall will be constructed for blinding purposes. While the UBE design extends the roof to this blinding wall, only the booths will be roofed under the Project. The custom of removing solids from pit latrines does not appear to exist in general. It will, therefore, be necessary to obtain the understanding of people concerned in school on the need to maintain clean toilet facilities and to remove solids when the pits are full in view of the use of the newly constructed toilets for a long period of time. Even though the arrangement of the booths in a single row in one building is economical and easy to construct, separate buildings for boys and girls will be constructed under the Project when the number of booths exceeds eight. Considering the local customs, no urinals for boys will be installed.

The yield is low but of high Areas of Kaduna State, Nigeria. The treatments consisted of three quality that has high demand in the world market. 80% of cultivars of ginger (UG1, UG2 and “China”) planted in five locations Nigeria’s ginger comes from the southern part of Kaduna State (Kafanchan in Jema’a LGA, Kagoro in Kaura LGA, Samaru in where, according to Momber (1942), it has been in production Zangon Kataf LGA, Kubatcha in Kagarko LGA and Kwoi in Jaba since 1927.
