Data shows a significantly higher number of conflict incidents and fatalities in 2016 than in 2015. However, shorter term trends do show a slight improvement from Q2 2016 to Q3 (see page 2). This quarterly tracker looks at the trends and patterns of conflict risk factors and incidents of violence, and their pressures on peace and stability in the Niger Delta. It is not designed as a conflict analysis, but rather it is intended to update stakeholders on patterns and trends in violence.

Department of Political Science Faculty of the Social Sciences Delta State University, Abraka, Delta State. E-mail: [email protected] pp 352 - 360 Abstract he study assessed the variability of voting pattern among the different ethnic groups in the 2015 governorship election in Delta State. Data was Tcollected in respect of the votes from the 8 major ethnic groups in the state, and was analyzed accordingly. The hypothesis formulated was tested at 5% level of significance with the aid of the Kruskal- Wallis test. Findings indicate that there was no significant variation in the voting pattern of Deltans across the different ethnic groups. This simply indicates that ethnicity did not influence the results of the 2015 governorship election in Delta State. Given this result, the study recommended that the winner of the 2015 governorship election should form an all-inclusive government and ensure that no ethnic group experience any form of marginalization. Government should also strive to sustain unity among the various ethnic groups in the State by ensuring good governance at all facets and levels.

  • Analysis of Fish Feed Market in Delta State
    JUNE 2014 Economic Development Research 07 ANALYSIS OF FISH FEED MARKET IN DELTA STATE FUTA Business Development Company LTD www.pindfoundaon.org 1 Foreword Aquaculture is the fastest growing non-oil sector in the Niger Delta. Feed comprises more than 60 percent of the cost of raising farmed catfish, the dominant form of aquaculture in Nigeria. Field work around problems in the aquaculture sector consistently raises the issue of the “cost of feed being too high”, so there is demand to introduce solutions that can bring down the cost of feed. PIND and the Delta State Government met to discuss opportunities for stimulating growth of the sector throughout 2012. This study was developed by PIND with the Delta State Department of Fisheries, Delta State Ministry of Commerce and FUTA Business Development Company Ltd. In a meeting in October 2012 consensus was reached on the need to develop a deeper understanding of many issues concerning fish feed – where the demand really was, the comparative pricing of feed between the Niger Delta and the South West of Nigeria, who were the suppliers, and the main consumption patterns of feed by farmers. This latter involved developing a deeper understanding of the types of feed that farmers use, how they use them, where they buy or make them, and the in order to better inform the decision makers. Following agreement on the terms of reference by the steering committee, FUTA Business Development Company, Ltd., was contracted to carry out the research. FUTA, working through State Department of Fisheries extension workers, interviewed more than three hundred farmers providing a wealth of basic data on the sector, completed in March 2013.

The major source of data is secondary and the statistical technique is the step-wise multiple regression. The household income was used as an index of development while the socio-economic variables included population, education, and employment, capital water projects, housing unit, health centres, industries and police station. Four key socio-economic variables of population, health centres, employment and capital water projects were identified as being responsible for 80% of the variation in the development of Delta state of Nigeria among other variables. Solutions to identified problems were proffered. Keywords: Socio Economic, Development Delta, Introduction There is no single agreed definition of economic development.

Ugboma PhD Delta State Polytechnic, Library, Ozoro Introduction Among the varieties of agricultural practices is fish farming which is predominant in the coastal states of Nigeria. Currently, there is observed increase in the population of fish farms and farmers. Fishing is no longer restricted to the wild alone; fish farms can be found around towns and villages even behind peoples homes. To sustain this development, it becomes imperative that information on and for them be provided. This is because information is the driving and sustaining force behind any development strategy. In agriculture, the role of information in enhancing agricultural development cannot be over emphasized. Information is vital for increasing production and improving marketing and distribution strategies (Oladele, 2006). Information also opens windows of sharing experiences, best practices, sources of financial aids and new markets. As posited by Aina et al (1995) information has a vital role to play in improving and sustaining agricultural production of any nation.
