Osazuwa Staff members Prof Isaac B. Osazuwa, PhD, Professor Dr Peter O. Sule, PhD, senior lecturer Dr Kolawole M. Lawal, PhD, Lecturer Dr Aminu Lawal Ahmed, PhD, Lecturer Mr Raimi Jimoh, MSc, Assistant Lecturer Mr Collins Chiemeke, MSc, Assistant Lecturer Mr Joseph O. Osumeje, MSc, Assistant Lecturer Mr Bashir M. Sani, HND*, Chief Technologist * Higher National Diploma Nigeria: Geophysics (NIG:01) Summary The purpose of the research activity is to train high level manpower in the field of geophysics. Among the aims of the projects are: (i) to embark on postgraduate programme leading to the award of MSc and PhD degrees in Applied Geophysics; (ii) to design research projects that will address problems of national interest; (iii) to enter into research cooperation with other institutions and government agencies for the purpose of solving scientific problems of mutual and national interest; (iv) to set the pace for sustainable research in geophysics in Nigeria and the Subregion. The research outfit specializes in Applied Geophysics. Therefore its activities are based, essentially, on open field data collection, followed by analysis and interpretation. The methods of investigation, as the case may be, are geoelectrics, gravity, magnetics, magnetotellurics, radiometrics, seismics and very low frequency (VLF) electro-magnetics. These are supplemented by other methods, which are developed by the senior academia of the group. The ensuing scientific hypotheses often enhance data interpretation. The group’s research activity is a continuing exercise. Thus, projects may last some years before completion, depending on the magnitude of the projects. Only projects where equipment are available are undertaken. Also the group can embark on more than one project at a time. During 2008, research work was completed on structural failures and valley formation, using case studies from Zaria area and on calibration of the Terralock seismograph using geologic bore-hole logs. On-going research activities include dam site investigation, study of the characteristics of the Zaria batholith, study of the magnetic susceptibility of basement rocks in Zaria area (almost completed), pollution and archaeological studies. Further, a project on phased densification of the Nigerian Gravity Network is being undertaken in collaboration with the Nigerian Geological Survey Agency, Abuja, Nigeria. The group functions both as a national and regional centre for geophysics and many scientists from outside Ahmadu Bello University have received MSc and PhD degrees working on projects and making use of equipment in cooperation with the group. The programme has since 1984 turned out more than 80 MSc theses and 19 PhD dissertations in geophysics, covering more than 20 completed and ongoing projects.

  • A Report on the Mapping Study of Peace & Security Engagement In
    A Report on the Mapping Study of Peace & Security Engagement in African Tertiary Institutions Written by Funmi E. Vogt This project was funded through the support of the Carnegie Corporation About the African Leadership Centre In July 2008, King’s College London through the Conflict, Security and Development group (CSDG), established the African Leadership Centre (ALC). In June 2010, the ALC was officially launched in Nairobi, Kenya, as a joint initiative of King’s College London and the University of Nairobi. The ALC aims to build the next generation of scholars and analysts on peace, security and development. The idea of an African Leadership Centre was conceived to generate innovative ways to address some of the challenges faced on the African continent, by a new generation of “home‐grown” talent. The ALC provides mentoring to the next generation of African leaders and facilitates their participation in national, regional and international efforts to achieve transformative change in Africa, and is guided by the following principles: a) To foster African‐led ideas and processes of change b) To encourage diversity in terms of gender, region, class and beliefs c) To provide the right environment for independent thinking d) Recognition of youth agency e) Pursuit of excellence f) Integrity The African Leadership Centre mentors young Africans with the potential to lead innovative change in their communities, countries and across the continent. The Centre links academia and the real world of policy and practice, and aims to build a network of people who are committed to the issue of Peace and Security on the continent of Africa.

The concepts of digital library and as well its objectives in a university system, and services provided such as network services, digital preservation and quick reference were discussed. In addition prospects and benefits of digital library services like digitization of local content, access wide range of services and scholarly publishing among others were identified. The paper highlighted funding, infrastructure and technology as challenges facing the application of digital libraries in northwest Universities and concludes that, though they are faced with numerous challenges, however, the university libraries could gradually overcome such challenges in the course of time especially through library collaboration.

THE SOCIO-CULTURAL AND ECONOMIC FACTORS INFLUENCING PATRONAGE AND UTILIZATION OF TRADITIONAL MEDICINE BY HEALTH CARE SEEKING CITIZENS IN KADUNA STATE Abstract: Individuals all over the world continue to utilize traditional health care, despite the increased availability of modern medicine (TM). In Africa, a vast majority of people have turned their attention to Traditional Medicine for their primary health care needs. However, there is very little understanding of why this is so. Findings on why this trend persists remain little understood and there is dearth of data from research on utilization of TM in Kaduna State. To enhance the understanding of the factors influencing utilization of TM in Kaduna State, the paper set out to examine the socio-cultural and socio-demographic factors influencing utilization of TM. A multi stage sampling method was applied such that both quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection were used. Findings indicate that cultural affinity, accessibility and efficacy are significantly determinants of patronage and utilization of traditional medicine in the study area. The users reported high levels of satisfaction that are attributable to procedural factors. Significantly the services of TMPS are filling the unmet gap left by modern health care in the state. The paper concluded that there is a need for Kaduna State government to properly integrate and blend traditional medicine on the modern medicine because such reinforcement will be of immense advantage to the sick and humanity in general.
