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.

  • Private Universities in Nigeria – the Challenges Ahead
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Afe Babalola University Repository American Journal of Scientific Research ISSN 1450-223X Issue 7 (2010), pp.15-24 © EuroJournals Publishing, Inc. 2010 http://www.eurojournals.com/ajsr.htm Private Universities in Nigeria – the Challenges Ahead Ajadi, Timothy Olugbenga School of Education, National Open University of Nigeria E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Public universities had a near monopoly in providing university education in Nigeria until 1999. The market-friendly reforms initiated under the Structural Adjustment Programmes (SAP), the deregulation policies, and the financial crisis of the states created an encouraging environment for the emergence of the private universities in Nigeria. The legislative measures initiated to establish private universities in Nigeria also helped the entry of cross-border education, which is offered mainly through private providers. At present the private sector is a fast expanding segment of university education in Nigeria, although it still constitutes a small share of enrolment in university education. The paper attempts to analyse the growth, expansion, justification and the challenges of private universities in Nigeria. Keywords: Private universities, public universities, access, globalization, social demand, academic staff. Introduction In many African countries, the provision of University education by private institutions is a growing phenomenon when compared to other parts of the world; however, most African countries have been slow to expand the private sector in University education (Altbach, 1999). So also in Nigeria, the emergence of private universities as a business enterprise is an emerging phenomenon, a number of issues plague its development including legal status, quality assurance and the cost of service.

    Samaru Journal of Information Studies Vol.15 (1&2) An Assessment of Policies and Services Provision to the Physically Challenged Users of Academic Libraries in Zaria and Kaduna Metropolis By Ajibola Ruth Bosede, Prof. I. I. Ekoja and Dr. Abu Yusufu Abstract This study was on policies and services provision to the physically challenged users of academic libraries in Zaria and Kaduna metropolis. The study consists of two research questions. The study adopted case study methodology to assess the opinion of five heads of academic libraries under study which constituted the research population. However, the research questions were subjected to descriptive analysis involving tables and percentages. The findings revealed that there were no disability policy in most (80%) academic libraries in Zaria and Kaduna Metropolis and there were no special resources for the physically challenged users as well. The study also revealed that the library buildings were of multiple storey’s without adequate facilitates for the physically challenged to navigate through the libraries. These findings differ from ALA Disability Policy Principle and Standards for all libraries in the world. The researcher recommended among others that Academic library policy must be redesigned to include disability resources and services in conformity with ALA standard and Library management should create a disability liaison office on the ground floor of their multiple storey buildings and affiliate such offices with any library for the disabled across the country for resource sharing. Keywords: Policy, Disability Police, Academic Library, Physically Challenged. Introduction another.It also helps to provide a means of staff self- The importance of library policy cannot be over- evaluation or evaluation of outsiders.

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.

  • Emergency Contraceptives Use Among Female Students at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Kaduna State
    EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTIVES USE AMONG FEMALE STUDENTS AT AHMADU BELLO UNIVERSITY, ZARIA, KADUNA STATE 1Kolawole, Taiwo Olabode and 2Zaggi, Hilary. (Correspondent Author) [email protected]/ 07059307074 1Department of Sociology, Federal University, Oye-Ekiti, 2Department of Sociology, Kaduna State University, Kaduna 1 EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTIVES USE AMONG FEMALE STUDENTS AT AHMADU BELLO UNIVERSITY, ZARIA, KADUNA STATE Abstract: The empirical study investigated the issues surrounding emergency contraceptives and problems that characterized the use of EC among female students in tertiary institutions (Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria). The study primarily explores the knowledge of female students about EC, knowing fully that almost all the female students especially those that have engaged in pre- marital sex use it. Five (5) faculties were purposively selected for the study and a total of five hundred (500) female students were also selected for this study using accidental or grab sampling technique. The findings of the study mainly revealed that the knowledge of female students about ECs was not too encouraging because they don’t know what to use and are not always ready/prepared for the usage any time they want to satisfy their sexual urge but rather engage in EC any time they have unprotected sex with their partners. It means the health sector has quite a number of intervention steps/work to do in terms of seminars/workshops, enlightenment, orientation and educating the students without which the attainment of the MDGs may be a tall dream in Nigeria and some of them may accidentally give birth to child that his/her father cannot be identified as a result of multiple sex partners and finally, there will be continuity in the spread of STDs.
