The objective of Engineering, Imo State University, P.M.B. 2000, study is to determine the effects of land use on infiltration by three Owerri, Nigeria. different land use types; 34 of them are in farmlands, 34 in Bamboo field and 32 in forestlands. Within each land use type, multiple regression are used to determine degree of association between the rates of infiltration, moisture content, porosity, bulk density and particle sizes. Non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance is used to determine whether significant differences in infiltration rates existed between different land uses. The mean steady state infiltration rate of farmlands, bamboo fields and forestland are 1.98 cm/h, 2.44cm/h and 2.43cm/h respectively. The regression model shows that infiltration rate decreases with increase in moisture content and bulk density but increases with the increase of soil particle sizes and porosity.

  • Impact of Chinese Investments on Trade Development: Nigeria in Perspective

Chima Onuoha2 1Doctoral Candidate, Department of Management, University of Port Harcourt | Email: [email protected] 2Professor of Management, Department of Management, University of Port Harcourt | Email: [email protected] Abstract: This paper inspects the Impact of Chinese Investment on Trade Development in Nigeria. The engagement among Nigeria and China depends more on economic ties, trade, investment and finance than on political affinity. There has been some evidence that Nigeria had made positive upgrades which have been profoundly appealing to overseas investors, especially the Chinese investors. For this to continue, it was recommended that Nigeria’s priority should be to build up the ability to better its own policies towards China’s engagement and also see China’s engagement gives it an opportunity to expand its trade. Keywords: Nigeria, China, Trade and Investment, Lagos, Kano INTRODUCTION Over the previous decades the volume of exchange between countries of the globe has considerably increased. Especially, Nigeria has seen a sharp ascent in trade and investment with other countries. The relations among Nigeria and the people’s republic of China, which cuts across trade, investment, political aid and military spheres have tremendously grown in recent years (Omoju and Adesanya, 2012). China’s first contact with Nigeria, unofficially, started in the 1950s, precisely 1957. Nigeria’s contact with China was through Egypt.

Soil samples were collected randomly from Cassava farm, Bamboo field, Fallow land and sparse grassland and were analysed for moisture content, particle size distribution, textural class, organic matter content, permeability and aggregate structure using oven drying method, sieve analysis, triangular chart, and permeability/soil type table. Laboratory results were subjected to statistical analyses. Narrow variation was seen in all the particle size distribution (ranged from 25.10 – 35.15) with samples from sparse grass land vegetation having the least value (35.20), samples from cassava farm and bamboo field had their values as 35.15 and 29.40 respectively. The clay, silt and MC had a negative non-significant relationship with the erodibility status with values of correlation -.412, -.532 and -.836 respectively. While sand percentage content had a positive non significant relationship with erodibility factor K having the values of .670. OMC percentage content had a high positive significant relationship with erodibility factor K, with the value of correlation as 1.000**. There was a high level of significance between clay, silt, sand, OMC, and MC with values of correlation as -.753**, -.714**, -.831**, and .955** respectively.

A combination of purposive and multistage sampling techniques was used in selecting 360 fish farmers for this study while a structured questionnaire was designed and used for data collection. Our results show that a total of 3,360 jobs were generated from fish production, fish marketing, processing and distribution as well as inputs distribution. Farmers used the income realized from fish farming to acquire assets such as land, cars, motorcycles, buildings and household facilities and provision of education to their children. High cost of feed and other inputs (92.2%) was the major challenge facing fish farming.Keywords: Research and technology on alternative cost-effective sources of feed and other inputs in the region be explored.

  • Contributions of Nzuko-Arochukwu to the Socio-Economic Growth of Arochukwu, 1981-2017 Emej
    TOWN UNION AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: CONTRIBUTIONS OF NZUKO-AROCHUKWU TO THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC GROWTH OF AROCHUKWU, 1981-2017 EMEJULU, Ifeyinwa Department of History and International Studies Faculty of Arts, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka And OKAFOR, Henry Ikenna Department of History and International Studies Faculty of Arts, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka Abstract Attempts on community development have been viewed from top-bottom approach, this is responsible for the little gains recorded with national programmes towards community development; hence the need for community participation. This study focuses on the contributions of Nzuko-Arochukwu to the socio-economic growth of Arochukwu. This umbrella body of the Aro has played a pivotal role in the infrastructural, economic, social and political transformation of Arochukwu, a society with rich historical and cultural narratives. Just like other towns in Igbo land, the impact of the Nigerian - Biafra war on Arochukwu was severe leading to massive infrastructural decay. The study appraises the concept of community development using the workings of Nzuko-Arochukwu to explore the prospects of town unions and their challenges in developing their communities. The study used the qualitative method based on critical analysis of events from facts available to the researchers emphasizing the combination of primary and secondary sources which include the use of books and journals. The study adopted the community action theory modeled by Paulo Freire which emphasizes on mobilization for community
