2014 FEDERAL CAPITAL BUDGET Of the States in the South East Geo-Political Zone By Citizens Wealth Platform (CWP) (Public Resources Are Made To Work And Be Of Benefit To All) 2014 FEDERAL CAPITAL BUDGET Of the States in the South East Geo-Political Zone Citizens Wealth Platform (CWP) (Public Resources Are Made To Work And Be Of Benefit To All) ii 2014 FEDERAL CAPITAL BUDGET Of the States in the South East Geo-Political Zone Compiled by Centre for Social Justice For Citizens Wealth Platform (CWP) (Public Resources Are Made To Work And Be Of Benefit To All) iii First Published in October 2014 By Citizens Wealth Platform (CWP) C/o Centre for Social Justice 17 Yaounde Street, Wuse Zone 6, Abuja.

The idea is to provide information to all classes of Nigerians about capital projects in the federal budget which have been appropriated for their zone, state, local government and community. There have been several complaints by citizens about the large bulk of government budgets which makes them unattractive and not reader friendly. Yes, it is difficult to wade through a maze of figures in a 2000 page document laden with accounting codes and numeric language. With this simplification in the Capital Budget Pull-Out, citizens and civil society groups are therefore expected to follow up and monitor the implementation of these projects to determine whether they are implemented according to schedule and specifications and whether value for money has been mainstreamed. States and local governments where these projects are located should also be interested in the outcome of their implementation. Political parties that have won elections and formed governments will also find this document helpful if they want to independently track the achievement of their men and women in power. Democracy is not about casting votes and going to sleep. It is about vigilance, a people’s work in action and the ability to engage the agencies of state in a dialogue for development. It is also about guaranteeing development and the people preferences in terms of the activities, projects and programmes that will take the society to the desired destination. Therefore, every hand ought to be on deck to ensure that elected and appointed officials and career civil servants discharge their capital budget duties according to established laws, policies and processes. CWP urges that this document be widely circulated to all nooks and crannies of Nigeria. Everyone should feel free to download and share with others. Hard copies are also available at the secretariat and will be made available upon request. As we go into the 2015 elections, it is imperative for citizens to determine the performance of key political actors and institutions. If at the end of the day, this Pull-Out succeeds in helping citizens to hold the federal government accountable to its promises in the budget, then we would have achieved a key objective.

    COLONIALISM, URBANISATION and the GROWTH of ONITSHA, 1857-1960 *Mmesoma N

    COLONIALISM, URBANISATION AND THE GROWTH OF ONITSHA, 1857-1960 *Mmesoma N. Umeagudosi and Amarachi C. Obidiaju Abstract There is no gainsaying that colonialism changed the patterns of urbanisation in Africa. What this means is that there were existing patterns of urbanisation in most African communities before colonial incursions and these have inspired scholarly researches of various depth and volumes. Considering an identified problem in African historiography, which tends to give minimal attention to the exigencies that led to changes in patterns of urbanisation in particular African communities, this paper adopts the historical research method, with effective use of primary, secondary and tertiary sources of data that were subjected to qualitative interpretation, to document and analyse the processes of urbanisation in Africa since colonial incursion, with the commercial city of Onitsha as a study area. The study observes that urbanisation in Onitsha was not necessarily an impact of colonialism. Instead, the colonial administration only effected changes on the pattern of urbanisation in the city. Such changes were precipitated by the colonial economic policies, which among other things, used the inland waterways as effective transport facility for primary produce extracted from the various produce centres around the Niger River. However, other factors of change encouraged rapid urbanisation of Onitsha during colonialism in Nigeria. A conspicuous factor is colonial administrative measures, which saw to the establishment of Onitsha

    EDITORIAL 123 the term "specific" may be applied. Mani claims to this title have been put forward in the past 'but further experience has not confirmed these assertions. '1 he new form of treatment with diphtheria Formol-Toxoid recounted in the paper by Collier and McKean is descnb ed modestly and without making any ambitious claims. Fallacies are common in estimating the value of any treatment in leprosy. Signs of clinicaI improvement are particularly unreliable, and even clearing up of positive bacteriological findings may be dependent on seasonal and other temporary causes. Time must therefore be given to assess these various factors before judgment is passed. Already arrangements are being made in several different centres throughout the world to test out this treatment. We trust that the e�perience of others will confirm the results of the workers in Siam. Of almost equal interest are the animal inoculation experiments described in another paper. The fact that leprosy, unlike tuber­ culosis, is confined to the human race has limited our knowledge and handicapped our attempts at treatment and control. If these therapeutic and experimental results are substantiated they may have far-reaching results not only in leprosy but also possibly in other diseases. Reference is made on page 158 to the foundation of the Belgian counterpart of B.E.L.R.A., the Father Damien FowndaNon for the Campaign against LeprrosYi.

Sedimentation method was used in analyzing the urine samples and combi-9 test strips were used in testing for haematuria, the stool samples were parasitologically analyzed using the formal ether technique. A total of six hundred and twenty samples were collected from the pupils which include 310 urine samples and 310 stool samples. Out of the 310 urine samples examined, 139 (44.84%) were infected with urinary schistosomiasis, while out of 310 stool samples examined, 119 (38.39%) were infected with intestinal schistosomiasis. By carrying out the statistical analysis, it was found that urinary schistosomiasis is significantly higher at (p<0.05) than intestinal schistosomiasis. Children between 12-14 years were the most infected with both urinary and intestinal schistosomiasis with prevalence of 45 (14.84%) and 48 (15.48%), respectively, while children between 3-5 years were the least infected with both urinary and intestinal schistosomiasis 30 (9.68%) and 25 (8.06%), respectively.

Ojukwu’s government looked certain to topple at the beginning of the summer of 1968, yet Biafra held on and did not capitulate until nearly two years later, on 15 January 1970. The Ojukwu regime found itself in a serious predicament; how to maintain support for a war that was increasingly costly to the Igbo people, both in military terms and in the menacing face of the starvation of the civilian population. Further, the Biafran government had to not only mobilize a global public opinion campaign against the “genocidal” campaign waged against them, but also convince the world that the only option for Igbo survival was an independent Biafra.

This function becomes more critical in this period of economic recession in Nigeria. This study sought and established the extent of the School-Based Management Committees’ promotion of accountability and proper utilization of physical resources in the public secondary schools in Anaocha Local Government Area of Anambra State. The survey research method was adopted. Two (2) research questions guided the study, while two (2) hypotheses were tested at 0.05 significance level. The population of the study was 362; comprising 330 teachers, 16 community leaders and 16 principals, from which a sample of 236 (220 teachers, 8 principals and 8 community leaders) was drawn through simple random sampling technique. A 10- item Questionnaire, duly validated was used for collection of data. Data collected were analysed using mean score to answer the research questions and ANOVA to test the hypotheses. The study established among other things, that the SBMCs in Anaocha Local Government Area to a low extent contribute to ensuring proper utilization of physical resources, but to a high extent promote financial accountability in the use of school financial resources.

    Analysis of the Diffusion of Information and Communication Technologies Among Rural Nigerian Women

    American International Journal of Social Science Vol. 2 No. 1; January 2013 Analysis of the Diffusion of Information and Communication Technologies among Rural Nigerian Women Angela N. Nwammuo, PhD Department of Mass Commutation Anambra State University Uli, Anambra State, Nigeria. Ezekiel S. Asemah Department of Mass Communication Kogi State University Anyigba, Kogi State, Nigeria. Leo O.N. Edegoh Department of Mass Communication Anambra State University Uli, Anambra State, Nigeria. Abstract Regional initiative such as Africa Information Society Initiative (AISI) and some other related societies have all tried to encourage the building of Africa’s information and communication infrastructure so as to speed up socio- economic development across the continent of Africa. Many governmental and non-governmental bodies have also supported similar initiatives. This has led to a great improvement from what it used to be in the early 1990s and what it is today. But the question remains, who benefits from all these programmes – the urban – literate Africa woman or the rural-illiterate and poverty stricken African woman? Effectively used, ICTs can enhance development through the use of the Internet, to enable rapid marketing of products, to facilitate discussion among experts on critical development issues, to share strategies for poverty alleviation; to carryout research on the management and treatment of deadly disease and to provide other relevant information to the public; among many other things. The extent to which ICTs provide individuals and groups with the ability to interact and access ideas from each other depends on the availability and diffusion of ICTs among the group concerned. This is the bedrock of this study.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 s THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE LAITY TO THE GROWTH OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN THE ONITSHA PROVINCE OF EASTERN NIGERIA 1905-1983 By Rev. Father Vincent NWOSU ABSTRACT Recent studies in African church historiography have increasingly shown that the generally acknowledged successful planting of Christian Churches in parts of Africa, especially the East and West, from the nineteenth century was not entirely the work of foreign missionaries alone. Africans themselves participated actively in p la n tin g , sustaining and propagating the faith. These Africans can clearly be grouped into two: first, those who were ordained ministers of the church, and secondly, the lay members.
