Need to Secure the Release of 136 Abducted School Children From Tegina in Rafi Local Government Area and Rejig Security Architecture to Curb the Worsening Insecurity in Niger State: The House: Notes that for the past few months Niger State has been making critical headlines in the news due to the worsening activities of bandits, kidnappers and bokoharam elements; Informed that there was a mass abduction of about 136 children from Mallam Salihu Tanko Islamic School in Tegina, Rafi LGA, Niger State recently and after almost two weeks after the abduction, the children are still in captivity; Worried that those elements have been gruesomely torturing and killing innocent people, destroying critical infrastructure and properties, carting away food stuffs, rustling cattle and domestic animals and instilling fear, tension and anxiety in the minds of people across the State and the country; Concerned that the huge investments of the government in the agricultural sector across the State have been practically wasted as farmers can no longer farm for a living as a direct result of fear of attacks and the aftermath is aggravation of food insecurity and threats to the peaceful co-existence and socio-economic stability of the country; Also informed that only a few days, a Prince from Kontagora Emirate and others were killed, about five people were abducted from Batati, in Lavun Local Government Area, serial abductions of innocent people from Suleja Local Government Area were reported; and bandits were seen operating along Zungeru, Tegina and Kontagora axis of Niger State for days and nights without resistance; Aware that no fewer than fifty (50) communities across Munya and Shiroro Local Government Areas of Niger State were recently sacked and over 3,000 people were displaced from their ancestral homes and had to seek refuge in IDPs Camps; Further informed that the Military Camps in Allawa, Bassa and Zagzaga in the two Local Government Areas were overrun by the insurgents in their renewed attacks on the communities; Also concerned that those bandits now strike mostly in the day time and operate without any challenge from security agents and their mode of operations remains the same, riding on motorcycles with not less than two to three of them on each motorcycle and fully armed while sounds of gun shots rend the air to herald their arrival to scare the villagers and anybody that comes across them is felled by their bullets; Also notes that Section 14 (2) (b) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 provides that the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government; Further concerned that the operations of the Nigerian Armed Forces, the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in the affected areas and generally in the States tackling different kinds of internal security threats, have not yield the desired results; Resolves to: (i) urge the National Security Adviser, the Service Chiefs, the Inspector General of Police and other Security Agencies to rejig the security architecture with a view to putting in place effective strategies and counter measures to curb the escalating insecurity across Niger State; No. 66 Thursday, 10 June, 2021 2299 (ii) also urge the Federal Government to maintain constant collaboration with Niger State Government to secure the immediate release of 136 students abducted from Islamic School in Tegina, Rafi Local Government Area of Niger State; (iii) call on Security Agencies to deploy drones and helicopters in the insecurity prone areas of Niger State to identify illegal camps of bandits and eliminate them permanently; (iv) further urge the Federal Government to develop a mechanism that will ensure effective interagency collaboration, coordination and mutual synergy, especially at ensuring that the Department of State Services (DSS) provides actionable and timely intelligence to the sister agencies in the fight against banditry, insurgency and terrorism; (v) also call on the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development; and Border Communities Development Agency (BCDA) to undertake an on-the-spot assessment of the affected communities with a view to determining the extent of the destruction and providing relief to the affected persons; (vi) mandate the Committee on Legislative Compliance to ensure compliance (Hon.

  • NIGER ORGANIZED CRIME FACTS.Cdr
    ORGANIZED CRIME FACTS NIGER STATE ORGANIZED CRIME FACTS Niger State With the sophistication with which kidnappings are strategically orchestrated and masterminded in Niger State especially, speculations are rife that either these violent acts against humanity are financially motivated or geared towards eradicating Western education proposed by Boko Haram. With school students continually constituting a soft target with which kidnappers have found a haven, there is no gainsaying that if the situation is not urgently ameliorated, education in the Northern part of Nigeria may gradually go into extinction. The deplorable security situation in Niger State cannot be over-flogged. However, racial profiling of crime activities seems to blur analyzing these insecurity situations from the perspective of the motives behind the heightened spate of kidnapping that seems to overwhelm the nation's security detail. REVIEW OF SIX MONTHS INCIDENTS FROM OCTOBER 2020 TO MARCH 2021 (Source: Nigerian dailies) February 2, 2021 Assailants numbering about 250 stormed the four villages (Kurege, Sabon Gida, Sararai and Rafin Kanya) in Shiroro LGA on motorcycles, killing about 21 locals and abducting not less than 40 persons. The attack was said to be because the community failed to participate in the meeting where negotiations between the community leaders and terrorists to conclude on December 14, 2020: the attendant fees to be paid by farmers for seamless farming and About 19 persons were kidnapped harvesting of crops without and a clergyman killed by gunmen intermittent attacks. at Ogu and Tegina communities March 31, 2021 in Rafia LGA Six persons, including five military officers and one Civil Defense October 12, 2020: Officer, were feared killed in a Gunmen suspected to be bandits bandits attack on five communities killed three persons (the son and (Allawa, Manta, Gurmana, Bassa younger brother of the village head and Kokki) in Shiroro LGA.

  • Application of Remote Sensing Techniques in Hydrogeological Mapping of Parts of Bosso Area, Minna, North-Central Nigeria
    International Journal of the Physical Sciences Vol. 5(9), pp. 1465-1474, 18 August, 2010 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/IJPS ISSN 1992 - 1950 ©2010 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Application of remote sensing techniques in hydrogeological mapping of parts of Bosso Area, Minna, North-Central Nigeria A. N. Amadi* and P. I. Olasehinde Department of Geology, Federal University of Technology, P. M. B. 65, Minna, Niger State, Nigeria. Accepted 5 July, 2010 The study focuses on the hydrogeological mapping of Bosso area of Minna, Niger State using remote sensing techniques whilst considering integration of geophysical and hydrogeological investigation in a synergistic approach. Landsat enhanced thematic mapper band 4 and 7 were used for the study. The satellite imagery that was acquired from Global Land Cover Facility website was rectified and geo- referenced using various ground control points that were obtained during ground thruthing. The analysis of the imageries using ILWIS 3.3’s included filtering, stretching clustering. The outcome module gives results on both the structure and the lithology of the area. Structural elements that were remotely mapped are majorly lineaments which trend NW-SE and NE-SW. These were correlated with the results of the field mapping and radial geo electric sounding results. The geological map shows principal NE-SW trending joint with minor NW-SE direction. The radial geo-electric sounding at three different locations as interpreted from the anisotropic polygons showed NW-SE, NE-SW and N-S fracture directions respectively. There are three basic rock types that are represented in this region which include; N-S trending schist in the western part and around the water bodies (Bosso Dam and River Chanchaga), granite in the Northern and Southern parts of the area and gneiss in the central part.

    National Implementation Plan for the Stockholm Convention FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA National lmplementation Plan for the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPS) Final Report Federal Ministry of Environment Abuja, Nigeria April, 2009 Page i National Implementation Plan for the Stockholm Convention FOREWORD The strategic importance of chemicals in the transformation of the economic, industrial, health, social and developmental landscape of Nigeria has been recognized nationally, fully conscious of the risk to human health and the environment by the adoption of unsound management principles and practices especially for hazardous chemicals. Chemicals are important to mankind and sustenance of life on earth with multifarious uses in agriculture, medicine, industrial manufacturing, public health/vector control, etc, yet hazardous chemicals can result in significant adverse effects on human health and the environment. Nigeria as a rapidly industrializing developing country with abundant natural resources, a large human population of about 150 million people and diverse sensitive ecosystems that must be managed in a sustainable manner, has put in place since 1988 institutional and regulatory framework for environmental protection and natural resources conservation. The country has participated actively in most international forum and initiatives on the environment since the 1992 United Nations Conference on the Environment (UNCED); and has ratified major Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) including those on chemicals

Afrika-Spectrum, 14 (1979) 3:295-315 DIRK KOHNERT Rural Class Differentiation in Nigeria - Theory and Practice A Quantitative Approach in the Case of Nupeland 1. THE POPULIST POSITION Social scientists concerned with West Africa in general, and with Nigeria in particular, of- ten consider peasant societies as ,,class-less". Recent surveys revealed a remarkable de- gree of social and economic inequality in the rural areas of Katsina-, Kano-, Zaria-, and Sokoto Provinces, or in the ,,cocoa-belt" of Western Nigeria, to name just a few ex- amples. Nevertheless these studies argue that this inequality does not manifest socio- economic classes for a variety of reasons: According to P. Hill, who represents the most outspoken position in this respect, class formation may be considered as a function of social mobility: The structures of inequal- ity, though being stable in the short run, have to break down under the pressure of speci- fic counter-acting levelling forces inherent in the peasantry; the period of stability is said to amount to about ten years but certainly not more than one generation, - last not least because of the ,,death as the great leveller" (Hill, 1972: 161, 175-89; 1977: 156, 155-59; cf.
