SIR, I HAVE the honour to submit the Report on the Blue Book for 1898. L—GENERAL REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE. 2. The revenue for the year, inclusive of a Parliamentary |£rant of £10,000 in aid of telegraph construction to the Hinter- land, was £206,444, as against £177,420 in 1897. The local revenue may therefore be taken to have been £196,444. This w by far the largest amount ever collected, and no doubt the very large sums expended in wages of carriers employed in the Hinterland, in consequence of the troubles with the French, both by the Imperial and Colonial Government, were to a great extent responsible for the increase. 4277^-800—12/99 Wt 21935 D it 8—6 (B) A 4 COLONIAL REPORTS—ANNUAL.

As will be seen from the figures given there was no deficit at the end of 1898, the revenue exceeding the expenditure by £2,642. TAXATION. 7. By Ordinance No. 1 of 1898 the duty on wines, liqueurs, and cordials was raised from Lvto 2s. per gallon, but no other change took place. ASSETS, AND LIABILITIES. 8. The statement of assets and liabilities is, I consider, satis­ factory, as, notwithstanding heavy and unusual expenditure, the amount carried forward o& the 31st December 1898 exceeds the* excess of assets on the 31st December 1897 by over £2,000. PUBLIC DEBT. 9. The only debt incurred by the Colony is in respect of the amount required to construct two bridges connecting Lagos Island with the mainland at Ebutte Metta, and a railway from Ebutte Metta to Ibadan. Legislative authority to raise a sum of £780,000 for these purposes has been obtained, but &t the end of 1898 only £c>5< >,0i)0 had been borrowed. The general revenue is the security for the amount raised, and it is to be paid off from the same source by means of a sinking fund. CURRENCY. 10. Although by Ordinance No. 2 of 1880 the following gold coins, viz., Spanish and South American doubloons and half- doubloons, American double eagle, eagle, half eagle, and quarter eagle and French twenty-franc pieces are legal tender as well as British sterling, the currency is almost entirely confined to the latter. A noticeable point in this connection is that British silver coin is! at a premium on the West Coast of Africa, and as far as I am t^ware it is the only part of the world of which this can be said. \ COLONIAL REPORTS—ANNUAL. 7 LAOOS, IL—IMPORTS AND EXPORTS. 1898. 11. The values of all kinds of articles imported into the Colony in 1898 was estimated at £8*2,863. as against £758,515 in 1897. 12. The principal articles of import were :— 1897. 1898. £ £ Beads ... ... 1*41 18,488 12,623 Bridge aad railway materials 3,273 33,130 Building materials • •• • •• 18,049 22,621 Cotton goods... *•* • •• 297,615 1339,778 Haberdashery... 16,404 ; 14,429 Hardware • •• 13,980 18,314 Kola nuttf • •• • •• 21,190 23,052 Provisions ' ... • •• • •-> 9,028 . 10,539 Specie ... • • • 69,605 J 148,820 Wines and spirits • • •• 69,476 ! 79,769 i I 13. The imports for the past five years were :- Year. Amount. £ 1894 . 690,794 1895 ... 771,843 1896 ... eat ••• 881,696 1897 ... 758,515 1893 ... 892,863 Total... 8.Sd6,7..1 14. These figures may be said to shew a steady increase in the import trade, as 1897 was an abnormal year owing to the troubles with the French in the Hinterland, and the constant moving about of troope there. COLONIAL REPORTS—ANNUAL. LAOOS, 15. The value of the exports in 1898 is calculated at £882,329, 1898. as against £810,974 in 1897, and the following is a comparative "~ statement for the years 1897-98 of the principal articles :— * 1897. 1888. £ £ Cotton goods #... 10,747 22,557 P&lffl Oil •»» «»• eat 97,590 97,337 Palm kernels 308,834 362,539 E&ubbei* 283,184 285,409 16. The value of the exports for the past five years was: Year. Amount. 1894 ••• #•• 891,681 1895 985,595 1896 «#• 975,263 189T ••• 810,974 1898 ?•» M* 882,329 Total 4,545,842 17. In this connection I append a further comparative state­ ment of the three principal exports for the past five years which is of much interest:-— Year. Palm Oil, Palm Kernels. Rubber. £ £ £ 1894... • V * •« • 187,927 440,065 324 1895... • •• 205,553 320,434 269,892 1896... ••• 159,160 343,206 347,721 1897... t»t * 97,590 306,834 283,184 1898*«t 97,337 362,539 285,409 COLONIAL REPORTS—ANNUAL. 9 J 18. From this it appears that the palm oil trade is less than LAOOS, half what it was in 1894 and 1895, h the export of kernels remains much the same. The falling otf in the former is no doubt " due to rubber having become, since 1894, such a very large article of export from the Colony, but owing to the injury inflicted on the trees from the reckless way in which it has been collected, it appears to me almost certain that this will not continue, and that for some years—say five or six—this industry will fall off almost entirely.

  • The Case of Ifo/Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State, Nigeria
    International Journal of Business and Social Science Vol. 5, No. 12; November 2014 Land Market Challenges: The Case of Ifo/Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State, Nigeria S.A. Oloyede, PhD C.A. Ayedun, PhD A.S. Oni, M.Sc. A.O. Oluwatobi, M.Sc. Department of Estate Management, School of Environmental Sciences, College of Science and Technology, Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria Abstract Bearing in mind that land acquisition is very crucial to human development from ages past, the study examined private land acquisition processes and challenges encountered by individuals in Ado-odo/Ota Local government area of Ogun State. Using purposive sampling method, the study gathered relevant data from four different community leaders as well as four heads of family land owners with the aid of questionnaires and employed in- depth interviews to solicit information from eight different youth leaders from the four selected communities. Four each of local artisans (bricklayers, carpenters, plumbers and electricians) available on sites under construction between March and May, 2014 were interviewed on their experiences within the selected neighbourhoods. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics while percentages and ranking were employed in analysis. Data presentation was basically in tables. The study found that because past governments had failed to take into account the needs and interests of individual, family or community land owners during earlier compulsory land acquisition processes, family land owners are in a hurry to sell off their land even when existing developments are far away. The study recommends that government needs to be proactive in designing new neighbourhood layouts to forestall large informal settlements and, at the same time, implement new methods of financing infrastructure to support urban land development.
