As part of the preparations for the 2015 General Elections, the Commission has demonstrated its commitment to informing stakeholders and the general public through a range of activities, and engagements with different strata of society with the aim of fostering confidence and participation in the continuing effort to build an enduring democratic culture. To increase eligible citizens’ participation in exercising their franchise, polling units within, or very close to the premises of politicians, traditional rulers, religious bodies, state and local authorities, private properties, etc., as well as in open spaces, are relocated to public buildings, preferably public schools. Thus, the publication of the 2015 Polling Unit Directory (updated January 2015) by the Commission is another step towards providing valid information to the stakeholders and the public alike. The Directory lists the Local Government Areas (LGAs) of each State or Area Councils (ACs) of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Registration Areas (RAs) of States or Wards of the FCT, as well as polling units contained therein. This Directory wiII not only help to address the Polling Unit information needs of political parties, developmental partners, Civil Society Organizations, Ministries, Departments, Agencies, the Press and other Stakeholders, but also serve as a reference document for research and information. This publication is also designed to help electoral officials irrespective of where they are deployed to effectively perform their duties. I hope that the Directory will also help to influence and educate election officials in the administration of elections in the country. Prof. Attahiru M. Jega, OFR Chairman Independent National Electoral Commission Federal Republic of Nigeria INEC Nigeria Directory of Polling Units Revised January 2015 Page iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENT In revising the Directory of Polling Units, cognizance has been taken of the relocation of existing polling units from unsuitable and unapproved locations. The decision by the Commission was taken in its efforts to further ensure transparency in the electoral process and provide a level playing field for free and fair elections that are credible and acceptable to all. The Delimitation Division of the Electoral Operations Department has worked very hard, together with the Electoral Operations Departments of each of the thirty-six (36) States and the Federal Capital Territory, to significantly improve the accuracy of this Directory. The Commission would like to express its profound gratitude to the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) as well as the National Elections Commission (NEC) of Liberia for providing technical assistance, through the provision of a specialist in Geographic Information System (GIS) and Data Management, Mr. Archie A.A. Delaney, Sr., who played a major role in the successful completion of this project. The fact that the Directory was generated from the Delimitation Database being constructed is very significant and signals a paradigm shift in the way the Commission undertakes its major activities. Finally, the support of the Commission, especially the Chairman, Prof. Attahiru M. Jega, OFR, as well as the Members of the Electoral Operations and Logistics Committee (EOLC), indeed all other National Commissioners, is highly appreciated. Engr. Dr. Nuru A.

  • Delineation of Potential Mineral Zones from Aeromagnetic Data Over Eastern Part of Zamfara
    Delineation of Potential Mineral… Savanna Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences Available online at http://www.sjbas.com.ng Savanna Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences (June, 2021), 3(1): 60 - 66 P:ISSN 2695-2335 | E:ISSN 2705-3164 Delineation of Potential Mineral Zones from Aeromagnetic Data over Eastern Part of Zamfara Augie, A.I. and Ridwan, M.M. Applied Geophysics Department, Federal University Birnin Kebbi, Nigeria ABSTRACT In this study, acquired aeromagnetic data was used to delineate structures that may host minerals over the eastern part of Zamfara State. The acquired aeromagnetic data were analysed, processed and interpreted using the following techniques; IGRF/DGRF computation, reduction to magnetic equator (RTE), geologic contact (GC), centre for exploration targeting (CET) and source parameter imaging (SPI). The result from these techniques revealed the presence of granite, migmatite, biotite, gneiss, diorite, medium coarse grained quartz-mica schist and biotite- homblende granite as compared with geology of the area. Magnetic anomalous zones identified in these area were associated with the Fe-bearing mineral and sediments with widest variation in Fe- content that form various silicate and oxide mineral species which may probably formed during the formation of both intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks. These regions also have revealed the lineaments that were trending in South-East of the study area within the Birnin Magaji/Kiyawa, eastern part of Bungudu, southern part of Gusau, NE part of Tsafe and western part of Faskari. These structures were associated with hydrothermal solutions of the host rocks that may form mineral and the types of rocks/or structures within the zones play an important role in solid minerals exploration.

  • Analysis of Language of Advertisement of Traditional Medicine in Two Popular Markets in Zamfara State, Nigeria
    ANALYSIS OF LANGUAGE OF ADVERTISEMENT OF TRADITIONAL MEDICINE IN TWO POPULAR MARKETS IN ZAMFARA STATE, NIGERIA ISAH ABDULMUMINI Department of English and Literature, Federal University Gusau Zamfara State, Nigeria E-mail: [email protected] Abstract- It is very clear that Traditional medicine (TM) may be dangerous to the body of its consumers due to the inadequate knowledge on proper dosage in its administration and the danger of the ingredients used in its production. Despite that, the sellers make a lot of money in its business. This is because many of the target customers especially in the rural areas are easily convinced and attracted by its sellers as a result of the style used in advertising such products. This research takes a look at the style of language used in such business on market days in Talata Mafara and Shinkafi local governments. Talata Mafara and Shinkafi markets are popular not only in Zamfara state but also in the country as a whole. They both operate once in a week and attract large turnout of people both from within and outside the state and even from the neigbouring countries. Traditional Medicine sellers (TMS) use attention orientation, identification focus, prevention focus, resultant focus and strategy focus as strategies for their advertisements. They also use Qur’anic quotations to attract attention because the majority of the customers are Muslims in the study areas. The data were collected through field trip by tape recording the advertisements of such products on four market days in the study areas and was analysed using the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework.
