Department of Agricultural Education, School of Vocational and Technical Education, College of Education, Lanlate, Nigeria *Corresponding author: [email protected] Target audience: Crop farmers, Nomads, MDAs (Ministries, Departments and Agencies on agriculture), law enforcement agents, community leaders. Abstract Pastoral activities of the Fulani nomads in Ibarapa East Local Government Area (LGA) of Oyo state Nigeria had come with some challenges over the years of interacting with their host community. This study was aimed at determining the effects of nomadic farming in the study area attendant conflicts and conflict management strategies adopted by the various stake holders. A total of 140 questionnaires and interview schedules were administered in the study area 100 for crop farmers as they were most affected by pastoral activities of the Fulani nomads 20 for nomads and 10 each for community leaders and law enforcement agents. A multi stage sampling method was adopted for crop farmers. In stage 1 the study area was divided into 2 quarters; stage 2 had each quarter divided into 5 units while10 questionnaires were purposively administered to crop farmers in stage 3. Also random sampling of the nomads was conducted in which 20 interview schedules were administered. The data was processed and subjected to descriptive analysis using frequency count and simple percentage. The results obtained showed that the majority (62 and 100) %) of crop farmers and nomads respectively were male (54 and 65) % of crop farmers and nomads respectively were within age bracket of 20 – 39 years while (62 and 75) %.) of crop farmers and nomads respectively had less than 20 years of farming experience Also the results showed that problems encountered by the crop farmers were crop destruction (22.89 %) and sexual harassment (20.65 %) while cattle theft (69.57 %) and language barrier (30.43 %) were those of the nomads. Conflicts were resolved by payment of compensation by offending nomads (50.00 %) while crop farmers reported to concerned authorities (63.33 %) and mediation by community leaders and law enforcement. Concerning conflict prevention majority of the crop farmers (40.85%) suggested provision of grazing reserves by government while the nomads (53.12%) suggested fencing of crop farms by farmers. Value orientation on peaceful coexistence of the crop farmers and Fulani pastoralists was recommended.

    THE EVOLUTION OF IBADAN AS THE LARGEST METROPOLITAN AREA IN NIGERIA By: ESV. TOMORI M.A. anivs, rsv. mnim MD/CEO Macos Urban Management Consultants E-mail: [email protected] ` Established For Urban Management Capacity Building and Good Governance 1.0 URBAN TRANSFORMATION HISTORY 1.1 Introduction Urbanization and city creation predates colonialism in many African countries. Apart from Egypt, where urban civilization dates back to 5,000 years, several cities in other African regions have centuries old Histories. Early urban development has been recorded during the Sudanese Empire of 800A.D. the Mali Empire of 1500A.D. and Songhai Empire of 1800A.D. These important historical artifacts, the cities, flourished as a result of their location along the trans-Sahara trade routes, emphasizing their importance as catalysts in socio-economic inter-relationships. Powerful local rulers enhanced the evolution of these early cities into effective nodes of human development and as engines of economic and social growth. Some of the prominent ancient pre-colonial cities of the region include: Bamako, Gao, Timbuktu, Ouagadougou, Agades, Begho, Benin, Ibadan, Ile-Ife, Ilorin, Kumasi and Oyo. The implications of urbanization are not appreciable from demographic numbers alone (World Bank in Cities in Transition, 2013). The urban transformation affects the physical concentration of people, patterns of land use, social structures and interactions, and the nature and scale of economic production. Each of these dimensions of change affects the lives of individuals and the requirements for resources and governance. This urbanization creates significant opportunities for national development, and for reducing poverty for all citizens. But realizing the potential gains from the urban transition depends on how well cities and towns manage growth and meet the challenges of providing responsive governance and ensuring services for all firms and households.

  • Final Revised Oyo State Report Dec 23
    Report on Sub-National December, 2019 Budget Transparency Survey Oyo State, Nigeria Map of Oyo State, Nigeria Dr. Olugboyega A. OYERANTI DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN, IBADAN, NIGERIA Executive Summary This report presents the outcomes of the performance of Oyo State in 2018 in respect of four major indexes captured in the Budget Transparency Survey. The indexes are State Budget Transparency Index (SBTI), State Budget Document Availability Index (SBDAI), State Public Participation Index (SPPI) and State Procurement Process Index (SPrPI). The 2018 Sub-National Budget Transparency Survey was the second following similar survey in 2015. Oyo State was involved in the two exercises and this has allowed for a comparative analysis that exposed how the State responded to the outcome of the 2015 survey as seen in the outcome for 2018. The scores of the State for the four indexes showed 7 for State Budget Transparency Index (SBTI), 11 for State Budget Document Availability Index (SBDAI), 0 for State Public Participation Index (SPPI) and 20 for State Procurement Process Index (SPrPI). The scores for 2015 were 7, 8, 0, and 10, respectively. Each of the scores wwas benchmarked to a maximum value of 100. The performance of the State in 2018 leaves so much to be desired, particularly for the new administration that has just come on board in the State. Obviously, all hands must be on deck to bring about improved and better performance as far as budget process matters are concerned in the State. There is no evidence to suggest the dearth of manpower required to change the current image of budget process in the State.

    Jurisdictional Partitioning, Development and Spatial Inequalities in Urban Nigeria A Presentation at the 7th European Conference on African Studies University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland 29th June – 1st July, 2017 By Yemi ADEWOYIN (Ph.D) Dept of Geography, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Nigeria Table of Content Introduction Development Planning in Nigeria National Development Strategies Local Government in Nigeria Statement of the Problem Methodology Results and Discussion Conclusion Introduction Uneven development within spatial contexts is a reflection of; - natural and human resources endowment - levels of spatial organization of places including their connectivity and relative location to other places and - the interplay of politics and the prevailing mode of economic production in places Diversity in ecology, relief, resource endowment, spatial organization and political economy thus present a space economy characterized by different levels of development among the constituent areal units from the local through the state to the global scale. Development Planning in Nigeria With a landmass in excess of 920,000 square kilometers, encompassing a wide range of diversity in ecology and natural resources, and a population of about 200 million spread across settlements in rural and urban landscapes, Nigeria presents a mosaic of development surfaces that are largely uneven. A recognition of this wide disparity informed the government’s decision that ‘a situation where some parts of the country are experiencing rapid economic growth while other parts are lagging behind can no longer be tolerated’ (Nigeria, 1975:30). In effect, addressing uneven development and spatial inequalities in development in Nigeria is a State affair backed with the requisite legislations. National Development Strategies In Nigeria’s National Development Plans, a number of strategies have been employed to address uneven development among places.
