As part of the preparations for the 2015 General Elections, the Commission has demonstrated its commitment to informing stakeholders and the general public through a range of activities, and engagements with different strata of society with the aim of fostering confidence and participation in the continuing effort to build an enduring democratic culture. To increase eligible citizens’ participation in exercising their franchise, polling units within, or very close to the premises of politicians, traditional rulers, religious bodies, state and local authorities, private properties, etc., as well as in open spaces, are relocated to public buildings, preferably public schools. Thus, the publication of the 2015 Polling Unit Directory (updated January 2015) by the Commission is another step towards providing valid information to the stakeholders and the public alike. The Directory lists the Local Government Areas (LGAs) of each State or Area Councils (ACs) of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Registration Areas (RAs) of States or Wards of the FCT, as well as polling units contained therein. This Directory wiII not only help to address the Polling Unit information needs of political parties, developmental partners, Civil Society Organizations, Ministries, Departments, Agencies, the Press and other Stakeholders, but also serve as a reference document for research and information. This publication is also designed to help electoral officials irrespective of where they are deployed to effectively perform their duties. I hope that the Directory will also help to influence and educate election officials in the administration of elections in the country. Prof. Attahiru M. Jega, OFR Chairman Independent National Electoral Commission Federal Republic of Nigeria INEC Nigeria Directory of Polling Units Revised January 2015 Page iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENT In revising the Directory of Polling Units, cognizance has been taken of the relocation of existing polling units from unsuitable and unapproved locations. The decision by the Commission was taken in its efforts to further ensure transparency in the electoral process and provide a level playing field for free and fair elections that are credible and acceptable to all. The Delimitation Division of the Electoral Operations Department has worked very hard, together with the Electoral Operations Departments of each of the thirty-six (36) States and the Federal Capital Territory, to significantly improve the accuracy of this Directory. The Commission would like to express its profound gratitude to the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) as well as the National Elections Commission (NEC) of Liberia for providing technical assistance, through the provision of a specialist in Geographic Information System (GIS) and Data Management, Mr. Archie A.A. Delaney, Sr., who played a major role in the successful completion of this project. The fact that the Directory was generated from the Delimitation Database being constructed is very significant and signals a paradigm shift in the way the Commission undertakes its major activities. Finally, the support of the Commission, especially the Chairman, Prof. Attahiru M. Jega, OFR, as well as the Members of the Electoral Operations and Logistics Committee (EOLC), indeed all other National Commissioners, is highly appreciated. Engr. Dr. Nuru A.

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).

    International Journal of Research in Agriculture and Forestry Volume 3, Issue 1,January 2016, PP 30-35 ISSN 2394-5907 (Print) & ISSN 2394-5915 (Online) Incidence of Seed–Borne Fungi on Seeds of C. Citrullus (Colocynthis Citrullus L.) from Five States of South Eastern, Nigeria 1Nwokocha, N. J. & 2Opara, Emma U 1Department of Science Laboratory Technology, Abia State Polytechnic, Aba, Abia State 2Department of Plant Health Management, Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, Abia State ABSTRACT Seed samples from Egusi melon (Colocynthis citrullus L.) were obtained from farmers in each of the three local government areas of Ohafia, IsialaNgwa South and Ikwuano in Abia State; Aguata, Aniocha and Orumba in Anambra State; Ishiagu, Ezza and Afikpo South in Ebonyi State, Nkanu, Nsukka and Udenu in Enugu State; Orlu, Ideato and Mbaitolu in Imo State. The seeds were subjected to seed health test using the blother paper method. Fungi isolated from the samples were Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus granulosis, Botryploidia theobromae, Fusarium solani, and Penicillium citrinum. Aspergillus species had the highest incidence in the three local government areas of the five south Eastern States surveyed. The percentage disease incidence these fungal isolates such as F. solani and B. theobromae were assessed in a decreasing order of ranking in which P. citrinum had the lowest disease incidence in the four states assessed. However, no fungus was isolated from seed lots collected from the three local government areas of Imo State. Keywords: Egusi-melon, isolates, pathogens, percentage disease incidence. INTRODUCTION Colocynthis citrullus (L.) is a member of the Cucurbitaceae family which consists of more than 825 species which include fluted pumpkin, water melon and cucumber (Van der Vossen et al., 2004, Obute and Ndukwu 2005; Oduaka and Shippers, 2004).

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.
