Nigeria must overcome an enormous challenge in order to achieve the MDGs. According to estimates for 2008, just over 64 % of the population lives on less than US$1.25 per day. Around 30 % of children below the age of 5 are thought to be malnourished, with percentages reaching critical levels in several states. Net enrolment in primary education is estimated at about 68 % and secondary enrolment is also low at about 27. Education and health: - Nigeria is making efforts to meet the target for primary school enrolment and elimination of gender disparity at all levels of education.

    Shrimp Culture Impact on the Surface and Ground Water of Bangladesh

    The 1 st International Applied Geological Congress, Department of Geology, Islamic Azad University - Mashad Branch, Iran, 26-28 April 2010 Shrimp Culture Impact on the Surface and Ground Water of Bangladesh A.K.M. Munirul Haque1, M. Sarwar Jahan2 and Md. Abul Kalam Azad2* 1Local and Revenue Audit Directorate, Audit Complex, Segun Bagicha, Dhaka – 1000, Bangladesh . 2*Institute of Environmental Science, University of Rajshahi , Rajshahi – 6205, Bangladesh .

[email protected] Abstract A case study was carried out to see the impacts of shrimp culture on the surface (pond) and ground water (tube-well) quality in three coastal sub-districts of Bagherhat Sadar, Rampal and Morrelganj of Bangladesh. The people of Rampal (100%), Morrelgonj (87.5%) and Bagherhat (75.5%) expressed that salinity of both surface and ground water increased for shrimp culture, and water becomes more turbid, odorous and less tasty compare to pre-shrimp culture scenario. The ground water pH was found to little acidic (6.07– 6.71) but the surface water was mild alkaline in nature (7.00–7.46). Ground water was more saline (1893.12–2673.33 ppm) than surface water (513.31-2253.33 ppm). Potassium level of surface water was very high (97.75-242.42 ppm) compare to ground water (11.73- 27.37 ppm), which exceeds the WHO Guideline Value (10 ppm) and Bangladesh Standard for Drinking Water (12.0 ppm). The pollution level of phosphorous and iron was found to little higher but other pollutants like nitrate, boron and zinc was found to very low in surface and ground water in the shrimp culture area of Bangladesh.

    Perspectives from Apapa and Calabar Seaports, Nigeria

    logistics Article New Seaport Development-Prospects and Challenges: Perspectives from Apapa and Calabar Seaports, Nigeria Adepoju Olusegun Onifade Department of Maritime Transport Studies, Maritime Academy of Nigeria, P.M.B 1089, Oron 523118, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria; [email protected] Received: 10 March 2020; Accepted: 31 March 2020; Published: 15 April 2020 Abstract: Arising from the menace of city logistics problems in Lagos State with reference, in particular, to the Apapa and Tin Can Island seaport axis, the federal and state governments, in collaboration with private investors, seek to establish and/or develop some potential seaports to ease the burden of maritime logistics. Therefore, the objectives of this paper are to examine the prospects and challenges of the development of these proposed seaports and to analyze the efficiencies of the two selected seaports in order to determine the need for the required investment in seaport development. Descriptive analysis was used to examine the challenges of the selected seaports, while stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) was used to determine the efficiency of the selected seaports. The responses of the stakeholders and shipping companies to the various challenges were collected through a well-structured questionnaire, and the 2008–2017 cargo throughputs of the selected seaports were used as the secondary data for stochastic frontier analysis (SFA). It was discovered that the challenges associated with the Calabar Seaport were the draught level, cost of shipment, accessibility to industries, and condition of other modes of transport. From the stochastic frontier, the Lagos Apapa seaport is quite efficient, with an efficiency value of 0.9764921, while Calabar is slightly above average, with a mean efficiency value of 0.6086686.

    UNESCO Draft Virtual Library Feasibility Study Report

    FEASIBILITY STUDY ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF A VIRTUAL LIBRARY BY INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN NIGERIA Prepared with Funds from Japan Funds in Trust with UNESCO Publisher United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) ISBN 978 – 062 – 798 - 7 August/ September 2003 Designed & printed by: Consultancy Support Services Ltd., Abuja, Nigeria. [email protected] Virtual Library Feasibility Study/ Needs Assessment Page ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Prepared with Funds from Japan Funds in Trust with UNESCO EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Executive Summary Overview The Government of Nigeria has continued to considerably improve the funding of over 500 Higher Education Institutions, centres and agencies of higher learning, research and development, but little is left for the improvement of institutional services and operations after payment of staff salaries and allowances. Accordingly, the poor availability and obsolescence of books, journals and other learning materials has continued to impair the ability of Higher Education Institutions to adequately achieve their purpose of teaching, research and community service for their expanding population of students. In any event, most Higher Education Institutions have long exceeded their carrying capacities while demand for higher education continues to increase. The challenge for Nigeria is therefore, to expand access to education and current learning materials without most of the required funds disappearing into physical expansion of libraries and related structures. At the instance of the President, His Excellency, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, UNESCO has facilitated the development of an actionable, technically feasible, cost-effective, future-proofed and sustainable plan that sets out a road map to efficiently deliver local and international content to all Nigerian Higher Education Institutions, staff and students, in the context of their peculiar environments, by means of a Virtual Library that augments the existing library system.
