  • Land Use Change and Environmental Sustainability: the Case of Lagos Metropolis
    The Sustainable City VII, Vol. 1 157 Land use change and environmental sustainability: the case of Lagos Metropolis I. I. C. Nwokoro1 & S. O. Dekolo2 1Department of Urban and Regional Planning, University of Lagos, Nigeria 2Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Lagos State Polytechnic, Nigeria Abstract Land use is a most important factor in the distribution and functioning of ecosystems and benefits derived by man. The Malthusian geometric population growth and continuous demands for food, shelter, clothing, energy and even pleasure has led to depletion of natural resources. Land is limited in supply and its finite nature makes it a scarce resource that cannot meet its demand. The use of land is a reflection of our decisions, which will determine how sustainable our future will be. Detecting land use changes requires timely and accurate information which can be assured by using remotely sensed data and GIS. Analyzing the correlation between land use changes and their impacts is essential for spatial planning at various spatial levels (global, national, regional and local levels). A cursory look at the sporadic growth of the Lagos metropolis reveals an unquestionable exert of pressure on the existing rural land, agricultural and forests resources. This paper examines Spatio-temporal trends in land use and land cover changes in the Lagos Metropolitan region, especially the loss of forest resources and agricultural land to urban development. Landsat images were used to produce land use classification maps for a period spanning sixteen years (1990 and 2006). The study was limited to these two dates due to cost and difficulty of acquiring satellite imageries.

Vol. 5, No. 2, 2020, pp. 50-60. doi: 10.11648/j.urp.20200502.13 Received : March 5, 2020; Accepted : June 10, 2020; Published : June 28, 2020 Abstract: Physical planning is perhaps the strongest tool in the development of the urban form. It is the visible limb of the state that is used to direct and control development. In Lagos State, physical planning is used more in ‘development control” rather than “development planning”. It also comes into use in the many instances of urban renewal. The rapid urbanization witnessed by Lagos State brought about a sprawl on the whole of Lagos Island. The combination of rapid urbanization, physical planning policies and the cultural heritage of the area have evolved a cocktail of highly diverse styles in the buildings and metropolitan form within the same continuum. This research examines the physical planning policies on Lagos Island over a twenty-year period (1995-2015) and their direct effects on the evolution of the city while trying to control development.

  • Diatoms and Dinoflagellates of an Estuarine Creek in Lagos
    JournalSci. Res. Dev., 2005/2006, Vol. 10,73‐82 Diatoms and Dinoflagellates of an Estuarine Creek in Lagos. I.C. Onyema*, D.I. Nwankwo and T. Oduleye Department of Marine Sciences, University of Lagos, Akoka‐Yaba, Lagos, Nigeria. ABSTRACT The diatoms and dinoflagellates phytoplankton of an estuarine creek in Lagos was investigated at two stations between July and December, 2004. A total of 37 species centric diatom (18 species) pennate diatoms (12 species) and 7 species of dinoflagellates were recorded. Values of species diversity (1 ‐ 14), abundance (10 ‐ 800 individuals), species richness (0 ‐ 2.40) and Shannon and Weiner index (0 ‐ 2.8f) were higher in the wet period (July ‐ October) than the dry season (November ‐ December). These bio‐indices were higher in station A than Bfor most of the study period. Almost all the diatoms and dinoflagellates recorded for this investigation have been reported by earlier workers for the Lagos lagoon, associated tidal creeks and offshore Lagos. The source of recruitment of the lagoonal dinoflagellates is probably the adjacent sea as most reported species were warm water oceanic forms. Keywords: diatoms, dinoflagellates, plankton, hydrology, salinity. INTRODUCTION In Nigeria there are few studies on the diatoms and dinoflagellates of marine and coastal aquatic ecosystems. Some of these studies are Olaniyan (1957), Nwankwo (1990a), Nwankwo and Kasumu‐Iginla (1997), Nwankwo (1991) and Nwankwo (1997). Other works such as Chindah and Pudo (1991), Nwankwo (1986, 1996), Chindah (1998), Kadiri (1999), Onyema et al. (2003, 2007), Onyema (2007, 2008) have investigated phytoplankton assemblages and pointed out the dominance of diatoms. Diatoms and dinoflagellates are important components of the photosynthetic organisms that form the base of the aquatic food chain (Davis, 1955; Sverdrop et al., 2003).

  • An Examination of Governance Typology in Nigeria Higher Education System
    137 AN EXAMINATION OF GOVERNANCE TYPOLOGY IN NIGERIA HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM Abdulazeez Abioye Lawal Pan Atlantic University, Lagos, Nigeria Waidi Adeniyi Akingbade Lagos State University, Ojo, Lagos, Nigeria Hameed Omotola Ojodu Lagos State Polytechnic, Ikorodu, Lagos, Nigeria Received: September 13, 2019 Accepted: November 18, 2019 Online Published: December 18, 2019 Abstract Nigeria higher education institutions (NHEIs) are facing a number of challenges that border on corporate governance (CG) practices. CG includes the issues of autonomy and accountability. In developed and developing countries, autonomy is being extended to HEIs for flexibility in fulfilling the mandate of teaching, research and community service. This paper explores CG culture and its challenges in NHEIs. A qualitative survey research method was employed through structured interviews of selected NHEIs key stakeholders and extensive desk- based research. The results of the interviews and content analysis of operational documents of selected high ranking NHEIs revealed the adoption of corporate governance structures and processes. The study also recognised the non-existence of disclosure of CG practice. Challenges such as inadequate funding, excessive interference by government, domineering influence of unions, faulty composition of CG constituents and poor leadership are some factors affecting effective governance in these institutions. Consequently, proper funding, leadership training, empowerment of these institutions and complete and periodic disclosure of application of CG practices are recommended. Key words: Corporate governance; Nigeria higher education institutions; Stakeholders. 1. Introduction Sustainable development is increasingly driven by the advancements and application of knowledge through effective higher education and good governance (Mustapha and Nofiu, 2017 and Nazar et al, 2018).

  • Socioeconomic Survey and Cost-Benefit Analysis of Artisanal Fisheries in Egbin Waterside, Lagos Lagoon, Lagos State, Nigeria
    International Journal of Research in Agriculture and Forestry Volume 3, Issue 11, November 2016, PP 1-5 ISSN 2394-5907 (Print) & ISSN 2394-5915 (Online) Socioeconomic Survey and Cost-Benefit Analysis of Artisanal Fisheries in Egbin Waterside, Lagos Lagoon, Lagos State, Nigeria Josef Bamidele Bolarinwa Department of Fisheries Technology, Lagos State Polytechnic, P.M.B 21606, Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria Ogunbona, A.A Department of Fisheries Technology, Lagos State Polytechnic, Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria Ishola,O.Jelili Department of Animal Production Technology, Lagos State Polytechnic, Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria Frank O Ogundana Department of Leisure and Tourism, Lagos State Polytechnic, Lagos, Nigeria ABSTRACT Socioeconomic survey of artisanal fisherfolks of Egbin waterside, Lagos lagoon, Lagos State, Nigeria conducted for 6 months (April 2015-October, 2015) revealed the presence of 15 most commonly caught species viz Caranx senegalensis, Tilapia zilli, Cynoglossus cynoglossus, Pomadasy jubelini (grunter), Trachinotus goreensis (owere), Sphagebranchus cephaloptis (snake eel), Eucinostomus melanopterus (flagfin mojarra), Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus, Polynemus decadactylus (African threadfin), Erpetoichthys calabaricus (reed fish), Pseudotolithus elongatus , Mugil cephalus and Ethmalosa fimbriata, Sphyraena piscatorum and Elops lacerta . Socioeconomic survey of the fisher folks revealed a high rate of illiteracy among the fisherfolks of Egbin. About 60% had no formal education, hence the generally poor record-keeping habit observed. About 60% of whom practiced cast- net fishing supplemented with gill netting(21%), hooks and lines(17%) revealed dearth of infrastructural facilities, poor record keeping habit, lack of awareness of modern fishing laws and regulations, poor access to credit and improved fishing inputs and extension services. Cost-benefit analysis showed the use of paddled canoes by 20% of the fisher folks was less profitable than use of motorised canoes by 80% of the fisherfolks.

  • Interrogating British Residential Segregation in Nigeria, 1899-1919
    UCLA Ufahamu: A Journal of African Studies Title Space and Colonial Alterity: Interrogating British Residential Segregation in Nigeria, 1899-1919 Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/98q1c1d1 Journal Ufahamu: A Journal of African Studies, 41(2) ISSN 0041-5715 Author Alozie, Bright Publication Date 2020 DOI 10.5070/F7412046832 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California PART I Essays Space and Colonial Alterity: Interrogating British Residential Segregation in Nigeria, 1899-1919 Bright Alozie Abstract The policy of segregation is undoubtedly a resented feature of colo- nial rule in Africa. However, discussions of the residential racial segregation policy of the British colonial administration in Africa invariably focus on “settler colonies” of South, Central, and East Africa. British colonial West Africa hardly features in such dis- cussions since it is widely believed that these areas, which had no large-scale European settler populations, had no experience relevant to any meaningful discussion of multi-racial colonial relationships. Some studies even deny the existence of racially segregated areas in places other than the settler colonies. Despite evidence that residen- tial racial segregation formed one of the principles that facilitated the implementation of British colonial policy in Nigeria, the Nige- rian experience has not been given a fully coherent treatment. This paper examines Nigeria’s experience of officially directed residen- tial segregation. It argues that while residential segregation policies were justified along policies related to health, sanitation, and dis- ease prevention, the motive also derived from the demonstration of racial supremacy and civilization, which was the ideological justi- fication for empires in Africa.
