  • Fine Particulate Distribution and Assessment in Nasarawa State – Nigeria
    IOSR Journal of Applied Physics (IOSR-JAP) e-ISSN: 2278-4861.Volume 8, Issue 2 Ver. I (Mar. - Apr. 2016), PP 32-38 www.iosrjournals Fine Particulate Distribution and Assessment in Nasarawa State – Nigeria J.U. Ugwuanyi1, A.A. Tyovenda2, T.J. Ayua3 1,2,3 Department Of Physics, University Of Agriculture Makurdi, Benue State - Nigeria Abstract: The purpose of this work is to analyze fine particulate matter (PM10 ) distribution in the ambient air of some major towns in Nasarawa State-North central Nigeria using a high volume respirable dust sampler (APM 460 NL) model, also the meteorological parameters of the State have been correlated with the measured values. Ambient air laden with suspended particulates enter the APM 460 NL system through the inlet pipe, which separates the air into fine and coarse particles. The PM10 concentrations were analyzed to obtain the monthly average PM10 concentration and monthly maximum concentration. The results show that Nasarawa State towns of Karu and Lafia have fine particulates loading in the ambient air more than the recommended standard set by NAAQS and WHO. Variation trends of pollution levels were also identified. The fine particulate matter PM10 average concentrations in the ambient air of Nasarawa State towns had average values increase in the range of 4.0 – 18.0µg/m3 per month. The level of monthly increase of maximum average concentrations also had readings in the range of 8.0 – 20.0 µg/m3 per month. These values were compared with the NAAQS to obtain the toxicity potential for all the study towns in the State.

  • An Assessment of the Development Potentials of Nasarawa State in Nigeria
    IOSR Journal Of Environmental Science, Toxicology And Food Technology (IOSR-JESTFT) e-ISSN: 2319-2402,p- ISSN: 2319-2399. Volume 6, Issue 6 (Nov. - Dec. 2013), PP 01-05 www.Iosrjournals.Org An Assessment of the Development Potentials of Nasarawa State in Nigeria Yaro, Obadiah Otso; Ebuga, Emmanuel Attah Department of Pre-ND Department of Estate Management Nasarawa State Polytechnic, Lafia Abstract: The paper examines the development potentials of Nasarawa state in Nigeria as they relate to the growth and development. Information were generated through field survey, focused group discussion (FGD) and secondary sources. The development potentials are numerous. These include solid minerals, agriculture, human resources, tropical climate, tourism potentials, education, livestock, water resources, forest resources and land resource considering its proximity to Abuja, the Federal Capital City of Nigeria. Proper harnessing of these resources will no doubt place Nasarawa State Government in a better position to create a vibrant economy that would have a lot to offer in terms of wealth and income generation, employment creation and infrastructural development with poverty alleviation as a consequence. This paper concludes by suggesting partnership approach in harnessing these untapped resources where other alternatives fail. Keywords: Development potentials, growth, development, synergy. I. Introduction Located in the central region of Nigeria, Nasarawa State was created out of Plateau state on October 1st 1996 with its headquarters at Lafia. The State lies between latitude 7 45’ and 9 25’N of the equator and between 7 and 9 37’E of the Greenwich meridian and it covers a land mass of 27,862km2 with a population of 1,863,275 people according to 2006 provisional census spread in the thirteen (13) local government areas of the state namely Akwanga, Awe, Doma, Karu, Keffi, Kokona, Lafia, Nassarawa Eggon, Nassarawa, Obi, Toto and Wamba.

  • A Dictionary of Eggon
    A DICTIONARY OF EGGON This is a version of a dictionary of the Eggon language apparently prepared by I.D. Hepburn in the 1940s. Mr. Hepburn was also responsible for the translation of the New Testament into Eggon. A photocopy of the original was taken by Ian Maddieson and the present draft edition has been prepared from the photocopy. The initial typing was done by Clement Madugu in Kaduna and the computer text-processing was carried out by Roger Blench in Cambridge. The text has been modernised in many places and the intention is to use this as a basis for publishing a modern tone-marked dictionary of Eggon. Additional entries have been added on the basis of fieldnotes from the files of Ian Maddieson. This is an appropriate place to pay tribute to the author of this dictionary which displays an extremely wide range of interests and elicits a great many unusual lexical items.

  • A Discourse on the Impact of Islam and Christianity in Nasarawa State
    LAJAST: Journal of Humanities and Social Science ISSN: 2545 - 5591 (online) Vol. 1 Number 1, November, 2017 www.asuplafia.org.ng/journal A Discourse on the Impact of Islam and Christianity in Nasarawa State Esu, Emmanuel Yerima1*, Akolo Ajige2 1. Department of Arts, school of General Studies, Nasarawa State polytechnic, lafia 2. Shepherd International College, Akwanga, Nasarawa State *Email: [email protected], Abstract Nasarawa State had been enjoying peaceful and harmonious living with each other despite the various religions being practiced alongside each other. In the light of this, this work aimed at highlighting the advent, contributions and impacts of Islam and Christianity in Nasarawa State, the relations and interaction between Islam and Christianity, appraising where necessary and admonishing also; with suggestion made in order to foster a peaceful co-existence. In achieving these goals, a historical, comparative and descriptive method of research was adopted. This work concluded that the coming of Islam and Christianity contributed immensely to the growth and development of Nasarawa State. The people were also greatly influenced positively by the teaching of these religions (i.e. Islam and Christianity). 1.0: Introduction Religion is such a prominent feature in human society that it cannot be simply ignored. World history would be incomplete without reference to it. Religion is as old as man on earth and will, in all probability, remain on earth for as long as man remains on it. It has aided social progress, educational development, interpersonal and international cooperation as well as mutual understanding among people. On the other hand, religion has been the underlying force behind conflicts, civil as well as international wars, social stagnation or ever retrogression, discrimination, etc.

D.b aDepartment of Geography, Nasarawa State University, PMB 1022, Keffi. bDepartment of Chemistry, Nasarawa State University, PMB 1022, Keffi. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Flood is one of the malevolent effects on the environment which affects man adversely hence needs to be monitored and managed in order to avoid loss of lives and property. The assessment of flood risk in Akwanga Local Government Area of Nasarawa State was carried out using rainfall data and the perception of the floodplain dwellers. This study tests a central hypothesis that the flooding in the study area is dependent on the prevailing climatic element especially rainfall using Pearson product moment correlation coefficient. The rainfall variability and trend were analyzed using standard anomaly index and simple linear regression respectively. However, the study reveals that the possibility of flooding is to an extent influenced by the pattern of rainfall which shows a characteristic increase as the year progresses. About 250 questionnaires were administered to landowners in the selected settlements in the study area using systematic random sampling. The results of analysis showed, among other things, that the populations with regards to the settlement pattern are the most important causes of floods as well as heavy, prolonged rainfall which lead to river overflow, flooding.
