  • And for the Easy Use and Cleaning of the Booths. the Floor of the Booths Will Be Reinforced Concrete
    oval pit holes (only one of which is used at a time) and for the easy use and cleaning of the booths. The floor of the booths will be reinforced concrete. The superstructure will be brick masonry which is durable and presentable. The roof will comprise long aluminium sheets. The lids for the opening of the pits will be removable precast concrete plates with handles. In front of the doors, a brick wall will be constructed for blinding purposes. While the UBE design extends the roof to this blinding wall, only the booths will be roofed under the Project. The custom of removing solids from pit latrines does not appear to exist in general. It will, therefore, be necessary to obtain the understanding of people concerned in school on the need to maintain clean toilet facilities and to remove solids when the pits are full in view of the use of the newly constructed toilets for a long period of time. Even though the arrangement of the booths in a single row in one building is economical and easy to construct, separate buildings for boys and girls will be constructed under the Project when the number of booths exceeds eight. Considering the local customs, no urinals for boys will be installed.

  • Igabi LGA (Kaduna State) Nigeria 23 March 2021
    FLASH REPORT: POPULATION DISPLACEMENT DTM North Central Nigeria - Igabi LGA (Kaduna State) Nigeria 23 March 2021 OVERVIEW Nigeria's North Central and North West Zones are afflicted with a mul�dimensional crisis that is rooted in long-standing tensions between ethnic and religious groups and involves a�acks by criminal groups and banditry/hirabah (such as kidnapping and grand larceny along major highways). The crisis has accelerated during the past years because of the intensifica�on of a�acks and has resulted in widespread displacement across the region. Between 13 and 21 March, the fear of a�acks by bandits have led to a fresh wave of popula�on displacement. Following these events, a rapid assessment was conducted by DTM (Displacement Tracking Matrix) field staff with the purpose of informing the humanitarian community and government partners, and enable targeted response. Flash reports u�lise direct observa�on and a broad network of key informants to gather representa�ve data and collect informa�on on the number, profile and immediate needs of affected popula�ons. The movement involved 1,010 Individuals in 202 households from Kwatan Jatau, kwatan Waziri, Guguwa and Angwan kan� villages in Ragasa Ward of Igabi LGA to LEA Primary school also located in Rigasa Ward of Igabi LGA in Kaduna State.

  • Remarks by Dr
    Remarks by Dr. Paden: Author of Muslim Civic Culture and Conflict Resolution: The Challenge of Democratic Federalism in Nigeria. Let me welcome you all here this evening, and thank Brookings institution and the Saban Center for facilitating this book launch. In particular, let me thank Peter Singer and Rabab Fayad, who have worked tirelessly on the arrangements. I would also like to thank my Nigerian colleagues who have assisted in the launch, especially Ahmad Abubakar and Lawal Idris. I am especially honored by the participation of the panel here tonight. General Muhammadu Buhari has flown in from Nigeria to be our special guest of honor. As former head of state in Nigeria, and as major political challenger of the current administration in Abuja, he has shown that it is possible to use the judicial system to seek redress of election grievances. He has also shown that it is possible to accept the results of the Supreme Court decision last July, out of respect for the judicial system, while still remaining critical of the process of elections in Nigeria. His respect for the principles of the Fourth Republic, and his leadership of the peaceful opposition parties in Nigeria, make him one of the great statesmen of contemporary democratic systems. I am also grateful for the presence here tonight of Dr. Ibrahim Gambari, currently undersecretary general/ political of the United Nations, who has just returned from international travel and made a special point of coming down from New York for this occasion. He is one of my oldest friends in Nigeria, and a wise counselor to all who believe in a peaceful and democratic Nigeria.
