    Available online www.jsaer.com Journal of Scientific and Engineering Research, 2020, 7(8):124-132 ISSN: 2394-2630 Research Article CODEN(USA): JSERBR Assessment of Physicochemical Parameters in Nta-Wogba Stream in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria Kpee, Friday; Edori, Onisogen Simeon; Nwokanma, Victor Chinenye Department of Chemistry, Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Rumuolumeni, P.M. B. 5047 Port Harcourt, Rivers State E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Physicochemical parameters concentration reveals the physical and chemical states of a water body. Water samples were collected from Nta-Wogba stream in Port Harcourt metropolis and analyzed for physicochemical parameters. This was done in order to assess the portability of the stream water for use. Some physicochemical parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity (EC), salinity, phosphate, turbidity, sulphate, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), chemical oxygen demand (COD), dissolved oxygen (DO), chlorine, total dissolved solids (TDS) and total suspended solids (TSS) were analyzed in the month of August and November, using appropriate techniques. The mean values of the results were: pH (6.40±0.09), EC (1406.67±80.09 µS/cm), salinity (359.33±17.58 mg/L), Chlorides (219.03±10.11mg/L), nitrates (5.51±0.38mg/L), BOD (35.42±3.55mg/L), COD (48.00±1.63mg/L), DO (4.01±0.44mg/L), phosphate (0.90±0.03mg/L), Sulphate (158.50±2.50mg/L), turbidity (69.27±9.27 NTU), TDS (585.75±229.74mg/L) and TSS (37.78±4.61 mg/Lmg/L). The results obtained showed that pH, TDS, TSS phosphate, nitrate, COD and sulphate were within DPR and WHO permissible limits, while EC, turbidity, BOD5 and DO were not within the permissible limits of DPR and WHO.

Basis tests classified the soils as A–7–6/CH on the AASHTO Classification Schemes/Unified Soil Classification System and other parameters as shown in table 3.1. Preliminary test results revealed the soils are unstable for road constructional purposes except modified. Final modified soil test results obtained showed the inclusion of additives increased the maximum dry density and optimum moisture content compaction parameters of expansive clay soils with increase in values to corresponding percentages ratio. Comparative results showed increased values in stabilized soils to un- stabilized. Optimum inclusion values were gotten at 7.5% + 7.5% percentage ratio, beyond this ratio, reduction in values were noticed with visual cracks. This point signified failure potential. Unconfined compressive strength results showed increased values with percentage inclusion ratio. Comparatively from both results, modified clay soils plastic index properties decreased with additive percentages inclusion ratio against un- stabilized.

  • Owerri in the Nigerian Civil War 1967-1970
    Historical Research Letter www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-3178 (Paper) ISSN 2225-0964 (Online) Vol 9, 2014 OWERRI IN THE NIGERIAN CIVIL WAR 1967-1970 Chukwuma Osakwe, Ph.D 1 Lawrence Okechukwu Udeagbala 2 1. Department of History and International Studies, Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna 2. Department of History and International Studies, Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna ⃰ E.Mail: [email protected] Abstract The town of Owerri was inadvertently so important to the Federal and Biafran forces during the civil war so much so that the battle of Owerri has been acknowledged as one of deadliest in the civil war. This was evident in the way the town changed hands between the Federal and the Biafran forces as many as three times. While the Biafran forces saw Owerri as the last major town under their control, they believed that its effective defence would go a long way to ensure the safety of the Uli airport. They were therefore ready to defend it to the last man. The Federal army on the other hand though initially did not consider the town important but when they were committed to attack the town by Colonel Adekunle, they saw it as the key that held their victory. They hoped also to enter Uli, where the last major airstrip under Biafran control was cited, through Owerri to prevent ColonelOjukwu from escaping. They therefore fought with vigour. The study reveals that the Federal 3rd Marine Commando Division which almost conveniently overwhelmed the Biafra forces in the South East met its waterloo at Owerri and this led to removal and replacement of its commander.

The soils classified as A - 7 - 6 / CH on the AASHTO classification schemes / Unified Soil Classification System as shown in table 3.1 and are less matured in the soils vertical profile and probably much more sensitive to all forms of manipulation that other deltaic lateritic soils are known for. The soil has unsoaked CBR values of 7.35%, 7.75%, 8.15%, and 7.85% and soaked CBR values of 6.35%, 6.23%, 7.05% and 5.55%, unconfined compressive strength values of 87.85kPa , 78.75kPa, 105.75kPa and 85.35kPa. Obtained percentile values of clay soil parameters at natural condition compaction test maximum dry density (MDD) and optimum moisture content (OMC) from sampled roads are, Iwofe, 1.031% and 1.030%, Chokocho, 1.018% and 1.017%, Ndoni 1.019%,and 1.029%, Ogbele 1.015% and 1.020% respectively of MDD and OMC.

  • The Challenges of Access to Infrastructure and Social Services in Selected Rural Communities in Etche Local Government Area of Rivers State
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 6, Issue 8, August-2015 585 ISSN 2229-5518 THE CHALLENGES OF ACCESS TO INFRASTRUCTURE AND SOCIAL SERVICES IN SELECTED RURAL COMMUNITIES IN ETCHE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF RIVERS STATE ABSTRACT: This paper examined the challenges of access to infrastructure and social services in selected rural communities of Etche Local Government Area. The objective of this research was to ascertain the level of infrastructural provision and how rural dwellers are accessible to them. However, the research adopted the simple random sampling technique. Three communities and thirteen settlements were sampled they included Chokocho - Umuchoko, Umundu, Umunabenram, and Umuokorogbadim, Igbo –Umuoke Ikwerre-Ngwo, Umuasukpo, Edegelem, Chokota and Umuodogo and Nihi - Umuaworo, Owuozo, umuama and Umuoji. The study revealed that facilities like schools, electricity, water supply and roads were inadequately provided while facilities like banks, recreation centres were not provided at all. The study also revealed that the study area being an agricultural hub; lacked agro allied industries which would have involved in the large scale processing of agricultural produce. However, the study recommended that facilities should be equitably distributed within the various communities. Also, the community should be involved in decisions making process. Also more roads should be, constructed and broken down roads maintained for easy transportation of their farm produce Keywords: Access, Challenges, infrastructure, Institutional, Rural life, Social Services. —————————— —————————— INTRODUCTION can be derived from the provision of infrastructure. Economic benefits include increased income, employment, The significance of developing infrastructure has long been productivity gain, enhanced income distribution and acknowledged as central in encouraging economic growth.
