Abia 2. Anambra 3. Bayelsa 4. Imo A WATER SUPPLY AND SANITATION INVESTMENT MASTER PLAN PROJECT OBJECTIVES Prepare Water Supply and Sanitation Investment Plan Increase access to improved water supply and sanitation services Improve the financial viability of existing water utilities. Increase the investment plan capacity. 5 Why Do We Treat Drinking Water? Drinking water is treated to protect public health by removing microorganisms and natural or man-made chemicals that may cause illness to consumers. Water Purification may also be used to improve the water's color, taste and odor as required. 6 Water Quality Water quality is the physical, chemical, biological characteristics of water which determines its suitability for a variety of uses and for protecting the health. Water quality depends on the local geology and ecosystem, as well as human uses such as sewage dispersion, industrial pollution, and agriculture runoff. Water is essential to sustain life, and a satisfactory supply (adequate, safe, and accessible) must be available to all. Improving access to safe drinking-water can result in tangible benefits to health. The great majority of evident water-related problems are the result of microbial (bacteriological, viral, protozoan, or other biological) contamination. World Health Organization has set the Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality of which the primary purpose is the protection of public health. 7 Basic Parameters of Water Physical Properties Color Odor Temperature turbidity Solids Conductivity Chemical Properties pH Dissolved oxygen (DO) Chemical oxygen demand (COD) Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) Inorganic Chemicals (Metals, minerals, and nutrients) Organic Chemicals (Pesticides, Benzene, etc.) Biological Properties Pathogens (Viruses, Bacteria, Protozoa, etc.) Fecal Coliforms 8 Surface Water Purification Works WATER SUPPLY PROJECT Water Purification involves two major processes: 1.

Yet, evidence Overall description of research area abounds showing that the traditional food base and knowledge of Indigenous Peoples are being eroded. This has resulted in the use of fewer species, decreased dietary diversity due wo communities were randomly to household food insecurity and consequently poor health sampled in each of four states: status. A documentation of the traditional food system of the Igbo culture area of Nigeria included food uses, nutritional Ohiya/Ohuhu in Abia State, value and contribution to nutrient intake, and was conducted Ezinifite/Aku in Anambra State, in four randomly selected states in which the Igbo reside.

Uluocha* and Ibeabuchi Uwadiegwu Department of Geography, University of Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria. Received 25 June, 2015; Accepted 5 August, 2015 Soil erosion is of major concern in Abia State, Nigeria. This study adopts a combination of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing as a tool to study and map soil erosion menace in Abia State. For this research, several datasets that represent climate, soil, geology, topographic and anthropogenic factors were used as the basic requirements for environmental modeling of soil loss using Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) for 1986 and 2003. The results show that 1082.58 tons/acres were lost in 1986 and 1120.59 tons/acres in 2003 in the study area. Also, a negative correlation was found to exist between soil loss and NDVI (Normalized difference vegetation index) value. Soil erosion vulnerability index map as well as risk prone areas maps was produced. This study shows the integration of GIS with remote sensing as an efficient and effective tool in the study and mapping of soil erosions. Key words: Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Soil erosion, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), mapping, Abia State. INTRODUCTION Soil erosion is an ecological issue of great concern in the Soil erosion is a dynamic geomorphic event operating on southeastern part of Nigeria in general and Abia State in the landscape (Ojo and Johnson, 2010).

National Root Crops Research Institute Umudike Abia State Corresponding Authors’ email:[email protected] Abstract The study determined factors influencing decision to embark on multiple income generating activities by male and female headed cassava based farm households in Umuahia Agricultural Zone of Abia state. Data for this study was collected using a Purposive and multistage random sampling techniques for the selection of 144 cassava- based farm households (consisting of 72 male-headed and 72 female-headed). Primary data was elicited by use of a pre-tested and structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and probit regression analytical model. The composition of total income from different income sources in male and female- headed cassava based farm households revealed that all male and female- headed cassava farm households earned income primarily from farming, which accounted for 48.07% and 56.69% of annual total incomes in male and female- headed cassava farm households respectively. Important factors that influenced decision to engage in multiple income generation activities by male and female headed farm households in the study area were age and annual profit. Household size, education, access to credit, and value of tangible income generating assets were important factors influencing decision to engage in multiple income generating activities among the male farmers and farm size and livestock number for the female farmer.

Chukwu*, Tessy U. Madu, Emilia C. Chinaka and Nkoli H. Anyaegbunam National Root Crops Research Institute, Umudike, P.M.B. 7006, Umuahia, Abia State, Nigeria. Accepted 3 January, 2013 Soil resource illiteracy and a weak link between agricultural research and farmers are major problems limiting agricultural development in Nigeria. Pedologists provide interpretative soil maps (land capability classification and soil fertility maps) that will enable potential land users to appreciate the advantages and limitations of the soil resource base that is utilized for agricultural production. Such maps are visual aids to facilitate effective communication between extensionists and farmers, in an effort to (1) adopt appropriate land and agronomic management practices, (2) increase productivity and (3) enhance the efficiency of resource use in agricultural production. This approach was illustrated using Ikwuano Local Government Area (LGA) of Abia State, Nigeria, as a case study. Key words: Pedologists, interpretative soil maps, agro-technology transfer, Ikwuano LGA, Nigeria. INTRODUCTION Nigerian agriculture, and indeed African agriculture, has effective agro-technology transfer between areas with failed to meet the continuously changing needs of the similar and/or different soils. There is a clear need for citizenry. Persistent food insecurity and failure of linking soil (pedological) science with extension agriculture to supply adequate quantities of raw materials education.

  • Leather Wares Factories in Aba, Nigeria: Challenges and Way-Forward
    LEATHER WARES FACTORIES IN ABA, NIGERIA: CHALLENGES AND WAY-FORWARD * 1 Ezinwa, Vincent Chi and Ikechukwu, Arinze Ernest General Studies Division Enugu State University of Science and Technology, Agbani Enugu State, Nigeria * Corresponding Author, Mobile: +234-806-840-8448, Email: [email protected] 1 Mobile: +234-803-099-9822, Email: [email protected] Abstract Ariaria International Market in Aba, Abia State of Nigeria houses a cluster of leatherworks factories that manufacture exported wares. Except their challenges are addressed, they are going down. The study was aimed at identifying their challenges and charting the way-forward. Key informant technique was used to elicit data from 17 respondents. The data were analyzed with the help of simple statistical tools. Results showed high exchange rate and other costs of importation of machinery and raw materials was a key challenge. Other challenges include lack of entrepreneurial spirit in graduate youths, poor doing business facilities and infrastructure, irregular electricity power supply, competition from imported goods, and lopsided development. Others are policy reversals, high and double taxation, difficulties in procuring business approval from government, high inflation rate, and unstable foreign exchange rate, in addition to corruption and fraud. The study recommends government encouragement of the leatherworks sub-sector with the right equipment and support. Keywords: Economic diversification, Leather wares factories, Aba, Nigeria Sustainable Human Development Review, Vol. 9, No. 3, Sept., 2017 Introduction Enterprises constitute the driving force for economic development and generate 60-70% of domestic employment. They can achieve equitable and sustainable industrial diversification in developing economies, like Nigeria, which is among the poorest countries in the world and experienced economic recession in 2017.
