ROL DEL TRANSPORTE Y MERCADO EN ESTIMULACIÓN DE LA PRODUCCIÓN AGRICOLA EN EL GOBIERNO LOCAL DEL AREA DEL ESTADO DE EBONYI, NIGERIA. Ume Smiles Ifeanyichukwu*, K.O. knadosie, C Kadurumba Agricultural Extension and Management.Federal College of Agriculture Ishiagu, Ebonyi State, Nigeria. Department of Agricultural Economics and Extension, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State, Nigeria. * Corresponding Author; [email protected] ABSTRACT Role of transport and marketing in enhancing agricultural production in Ikwo Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, Nigeria was studied. A multi stage sampling procedure was used to select 300 respondents for the detailed study. A structured questionnaire was used to elicit information from the respondents. Data collected were analyzed using of chi-square. The results show that head carrying, use of wheel barrows, bicycles, motor van, keke, donkeys, and motor cycles were various traditional modes of transportation for inter local transport of agricultural products. Furthermore, the result reveals that producers, retailers, consumers, wholesalers and processors were the marketing channels in the study area. Additionally, transportation and marketing have greatly enhanced the growth of agricultural production in the study area, despite existing problems such as bad roads, high cost of transport, few vehicles, poor drainage channels, culverts, few bridges and poverty. Also, the solutions to the identified problems were giving out loans to farmers, construction and repairs of roads, use of rail, mass transit, encouraging farmers’ cooperative societies and processing centres.

This study was aimed at assessing the prevalence of Paragonimus infection in Ebonyi State. Deep sputum samples from 3600 individuals and stool samples from 900 individuals in nine Local Government Areas in Ebonyi State, Nigeria were examined for Paragonimus ova using concentration technique. The overall prevalence of pulmonary Paragonimus infection in the area was 16.30%. Six foci of the infection were identified in Ebonyi North and Ebonyi Central but none in Ebonyi South. The intensity of the infection was generally moderate. Of the 720 individuals examined, 16 (12.12%) had less than 40 ova of Paragonimus in 5 mL sputum and 114 (86.36%) had between 40 and 79 ova of Paragonimus in 5 mL sputum.

  • Investigation of Flood Prone Areas in Oferekpe Ikwo Local Government Area Ebonyi State Using Electrical Resistivity Method
    International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN (Online): 2319-7064 Index Copernicus Value (2013): 6.14 | Impact Factor (2013): 4.438 Investigation of Flood Prone Areas in Oferekpe Ikwo Local Government Area Ebonyi State Using Electrical Resistivity Method Agbo G.A1, Aluge, U.D2, Azi A.3, Nnabo .P4 Department of Industrial Physics, Ebonyi State University.Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, Nigeria Abstract: An electrical resistivity survey method of geophysical investigation was conducted at Oferekpe Ikwo L.G.A of Ebonyi State. The aim of the study was to ascertain the areas prone to flooding by investigating the nature of the subsurface geometry and aquifers. Eight shallow vertical electrical sounding (VES) using the schlumberger configuration were conducted within the area. The VES data presented a sounding curve which inferred that Oferekpe is underlain by clay, mudstone, sandstone and shale. The results showed that the VES consist mainly of three main curves; HA, AO, and H curve types. The three layers were delineated generally from the geoelectric sections and the results obtained showed that the subsurface has thickness between 3.0 and 32.0m and resistivities ranging from 1.80Ωm to 5007.1Ωm at different locations. The analysis clearly indicated that the location VES 2 has a higher tendency of flooding. Hence a small rain could cause the area to be filled up within a short time and can eventually cause flooding. Keyword: Flood Prone Areas, Electrical Resistivity, Vertical Electrical Sounding 1. Introduction by appropriate detectors whose output can be displayed and ultimately interpreted. Geophysical investigation is a non-invasive method of looking into the ground to determine the presence and Principally, geophysical investigations are considered to be location of underground features.
