Water Quality and Algal Biodiversity of River Gbako Badeggi, Niger State, Nigeria LAJANS Vol 3(1): 53-59 RESEARCH PAPER Water Quality and Algal Biodiversity of River Gbako Badeggi, Niger State, Nigeria N.J. Dadi-Mamud Department of Biology, Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, Lapai, Nigeria ABSTRACT Algae are significant component of biological monitoring programs for assessing water quality. They are eligible to water quality assessment due to their nutrients requirements, rapid reproduction rate, and very short life cycle. The physico-chemical and algal characteristics of River Gbako, Badeggi, Niger State Nigeria were studied in three stations over a period of six months from May to October 2017. Standard methods were used to determine the physico-chemical parameters such as temperature, depth, transparency, pH, [Electrical conductivity (EC), Total dissolved solids (TDS), Biological oxygen demand (BOD5), Dissolved oxygen (DO), phosphate and nitrate, while published keys were used to identify the algal distribution. The mean values of all the physicochemical parameters determined for the three sampling stations differ significantly (P ≤ 0.05) except for BOD5, TDS and water temperatures which were not significantly different between the stations sampled Algal abundance showed the following decreasing order: Heterokontophyta>Cyanophyta>>Chlorophyta>Euglenophyta>Cryptophyta. The algal frequency of occurence for the three sampled stations were Sp1 of 327 (individuals/ml), Sp2 of 563 (individuals/ml) and Sp3 335 (individuals/ml with the total algal density of 1215 individuls/ml. The surface water in the six sampling stations studied revealed the fluctuations of the investigated parameters along the sampling stations, which could be attributed to both anthropogenic and natural activities, consequently the diverse algal distribution. Cyanophyta have detrimental effects on various uses of water, hence there is the need to prevent River Gbako, natural water supplies from being taken over by the Cyanophyta. Keywords: River Gbako, Algae, biodiversity INTRODUCTION Rivers as water bodies are important in supply in the world (Dadi-Mamud, etal.,2012). maintaining a balance in the ecosystem Rivers are equally useful in generating through supporting diverse plankton electricity, fisheries, irrigation and for (phytoplankton and zooplankton) and other domestic animals (Zakariyaet al., 2011). River organisms in the food chain. Recently, there Gbako is the major source of water to Badeggi has been a growing necessity for the community, as a source drinking and other conservation of natural resources, especially purposes. However, anthropogenic activities water due to, increasing populations, that include bathing, washing, indiscriminate progressive industrialization and series of disposal of wastes and refuse in the river, agricultural practices leading to increased fishing and farming using pesticides and pollution of our surface waters (Mohammad herbicides around the river can all serve as and Saminu, 2012). Sufficient and safe water sources of pollution. In addition, domestic supply is a pre-requisite for significant socio- animals such as cattle come around to drink economic development of any community water, which also could lead to faecal (Chenoweth, 2008. Unfortunately, in many contamination, hence posing health concern to areas of the world, especially developing countries including Nigeria, it is difficult to Received 17 June, 2018 obtain a steady source of clean water for Accepted 22 July, 2018 drinking and for agricultural uses.

The assessment Algal abundance can be affected by turbidity and continuous monitoring of the quality of levels, and other physicochemical factors High water sourced from rivers can be used to turbidity affects primary productivity, as it define existing conditions, detect trend and or reduces the amount of light penetration which establish sources of pollution. The quality of in turn reduces photosynthesis and hence water is often affected by rocks, soil and primary productivity (APHA, 2005). Nutrient surface through which it flows and limitation is important in the regulation of anthropogenic e.g. Industrial, agricultural and algal abundance (Hirose et al., 2003). mining activities (Ibeto and Onianwa, 2011). Therefore, evaluating the physico-chemical and algal constituents of surface waters is Several studies revealed that these activities essential in appraising their quality and coupled with atmospheric factors affect the suitability for various purposes (Nweze, 2009). suitability of water for all purposes (Hulyal et. al., 2008).

Faculty of Languages and Communication Studies IBB University, Lapai, Niger State, Nigeria 1+2348127189382 [email protected] Abstract This paper is a preliminary report on an ongoing research being carried out in the Faculty of Languages and Communication Studies of Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, Lapai, Niger State, Nigeria. The research is on ‘Language education and translation in Niger State’. The languages involved in the research are: Arabic, English, French, Gbagyi, Hausa and Nupe. The aim of this research which is funded by the Nigerian Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) is ‘to help improve the outcome of language education and translation in Niger State in both quality and quantity’ As a preliminary inquiry, the research team visited 78 institutions of learning at all levels (primary, secondary and tertiary) in all the three geopolitical zones of Niger State, as well as media houses located in the capital, Minna, and obtained responses to the questionnaires they took to the institutions. While pursuing the aim and objectives of their main research, the team deemed it necessary to consider the position (and the plight) of the multiplicity of other languages of Niger State (than the three major ones – Gbagyi, Hausa and Nupe) in relation to Nigeria’s language policy in education.

  • Historical Origin and Customary Land Tenancy of Rural Community in Nigeria
    専修大学社会科学研究所 月報 No.684 2020 年 6 月 Historical origin and customary land tenancy of rural community in Nigeria Regina Hoi Yee Fu Introduction This paper is a record of the historical origin and customary land tenancy of the agricultural villages in Nigeria, West Africa. The ethnic group of the people concerned are the Nupe, which is the most dominant ethnic group in Niger State of Nigeria. The research was conducted in the area locates on the so-called “Middle Belt” which stretches across central Nigeria longitudinally between the eighth and the twelfth parallels north. The Middle Belt is populated largely by minority ethnic groups and is characterized by a heterogeneity and diversity of peoples and cultures. In the Niger State, the other major ethnic groups apart from the Nupe are the Hausa, the Gwari, the Fulani and the Kumuka. Literature concerning the rural Nupe community are very rare (Nadel, 1942, 1954; Forde, 1955; Masuda, 2002). The contents of this paper are mainly based on the information gathered by direct observation and unstructured interviews with local people during interrupted fieldwork conducted between 2004 and 2009. This paper aims to fill the information gap about the rural society in Nigeria, as information about the society of this country has been limited due to prolonged political instability since the 1980s. Research Area The area in which I conducted fieldwork for this paper is the “Cis-Kaduna” region of the Bida Emirate of the Niger State. Niger State locates on the central-north geopolitical zone of Nigeria1. The drainage of the state is dominated by the Niger River which forms its southern boundary.
