It is a veritable tool for the achievement of education and health related Millennium Development Goals (MDG) as its effective implementation helps to prevent various illnesses that greatly impair learning among school children. Although there exist a National School Health Policy of the Federal Ministry of Education, Nigeria, the level of compliance by primary schools in Ilesa East Local Government Area has not been evaluated. The overall aim of the study was to assess the status of School Health Programme as available in primary schools within Ilesa East Local Government in the aspects of School Health Instruction, School Health Services and Healthful School Environment. A cross sectional descriptive study of the School Health Programme in all the 64 primary schools in Ilesa East local government area was done with the use of respondent interview and direct observation. Relevant data was obtained from each school’s head teacher, health teacher and first two pupils (a male and female) on the attendance register present on the day of data collection selected randomly from the most senior classes. The responses were scored using the School Health Programme Evaluation Scale. The 64 primary schools studied were made up of 34 public and 30 private schools. Only three (4.7%) schools (all private) attained up to the minimum acceptable score of 19 in the aspects of School Health Services while only one (1.6%) private school attained up to the minimum acceptable score of 57 in the aspects of Healthful School Environment. None of the schools attained up to the minimum acceptable scores of 27 in the aspects of School Health Instruction nor the minimum total cumulative score of 103 in these three major aspects of SHP assessed. The total mean scores of 63.23 ± 14.57 and 57.50 ± 6.59 obtained 12 by private and public schools respectively, showed a statistical significant difference with the private schools performing better (t= 2.068, df= 62, p=0.043). The overall status of School Health Programme among primary schools in Ilesa East Local Government Area was very poor especially in public schools. There is need for implementation of the National Guidelines on School Health Policy and Sanitation by the agents of the ministries of Education, Health and Environment in the study area. 13 INTRODUCTION School health programme (SHP) is a group of coordinated activities which promotes the health and development of the school population.1,3,4 It uses a multidisciplinary approach and fosters inter sectorial collaboration to enhance sustainable human, economic, community and national development.1,3,4 It encompasses many procedures that are carried out by teachers, health workers, counsellors and school administrators in conjunction with the children’s

  • Unmet Needs for Care and Support for the Elderly in Nigeria
    Unmet Needs for Care and Support for the Elderly in Nigeria: Gaps in Experiences and Expectations of the Aged in Ilesa, South-West Nigeria DOI: 10.36108/NJSA/4102/12(0120) Akanni Ibukun Akinyemi 1 Ambrose Akinlo Department of Demography and Social Statistics Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Nigeria 1Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The study is focused on understanding the broad issues of care and support of the elderly with a view to explaining factors influencing the gaps in their expectations and experiences. This is an empirical attempt with a view to understanding and under- scoring the importance and limitation of the domains of support from core family members (spouses and children) within the available support networks for the elderly. The study utilized primary dataset including quantitative and qualitative data collected in Ijesa communities in South-west, Nigeria. The findings showed that children and spouses ranked highest among sources of support networks rated by the elderly for five patterns of support identified. Logistic regression results showed that individual variables including age, education, family of orientation, and living in same town with children to a large extent determine level of unmet need for support. The study concluded that personal attributes rather than other social variables are important determinants of high level of unmet need for elderly. Keywords: unmet needs, care and support, elderly, Ilesa, Nigeria Introduction Increasing trend in the population of the aged or elderly has been a big challenge for many developed countries. Their prevailing high life expectancy and low total fertility rates, hovering around the replacement level of 2.1, have given rise to a population structure with a large proportion of the aged relative to the working population.

Citation African Study Monographs (2017), 38(3): 147-171 Issue Date 2017-09 URL https://doi.org/10.14989/227071 Right Type Journal Article Textversion publisher Kyoto University African Study Monographs, 38 (3): 147–171, September 2017 147 THE MINORITY QUESTION IN IFE POLITICS, 1946–2014 Abimbola O. ADESOJI, Taofeek O. HASSAN, Nurudeen O. AROGUNDADE Department of History, Obafemi Awolowo University ABSTRACT The minority problem has been a major issue of interest at both the micro and national levels. Aside from the acclaimed Yoruba homogeneity and the notion of Ile-Ife as the cradle of Yoruba civilization, relationships between Ife indigenes and other communities in Ife Division (now in Osun State, Nigeria) have generated issues due to, and influenced by, politi- cal representation. Where allegations of marginalization have not been leveled, accommoda- tion has been based on extraneous considerations, similar to the ways in which outright exclu- sion and/or extermination have been put forward. Not only have suspicion, feelings of outright rejection, and subtle antagonism characterized majority–minority relations in Ife Division/ Administrative Zone, they have also produced political-cum-administrative and territorial ad- justments. As a microcosm of the Nigerian state, whose major challenge since attaining politi- cal independence has been the harmonization of interests among the various ethnic groups in the country, the Ife situation presents a peculiar example of the myths and realities of majority domination and minority resistance/response, or even a supposed minority attempt at domina- tion.

Accepted 1 December, 2011 This paper reports the study of quantum and characterization of medical solid wastes generated by healthcare facilities in Osun State. The work involved administration of a questionnaire and detailed studies conducted on facilities selected on the basis of a combination of purposive and random sampling methods. The results show that the facilities are well spread among the 30 Local Government Areas; that the total quantity of medical waste generated in the state is 2672 kg/day and when domestic wastes are included the total is 5832 kg/day; that the medical wastes are not being properly disposed of as pathology wastes such as unclaimed dead bodies, placentas, umbilical cords are being dumped into unlined pits and other wastes in open dumps. A centralised system is proposed state–wide involving use of incinerators, landfills, aerobic lagoons, and reed beds. The Federal Ministry of Environment has responsibility to push for development of legislation and codes of practice that would guide facilities to achieve waste segregation, packaging in colour-coded and labeled bags, safe transportation and disposal of medical waste.

  • Ethnomedicinal Use of Plant Species in Ijesa Land of Osun State, Nigeria
    Ethnobotanical Leaflets 12: 164-170. 2008. Ethnomedicinal Use of Plant Species in Ijesa Land of Osun State, Nigeria J. Kayode1, L. Aleshinloye1 and O. E. Ige2 1Department of Plant Science, University of Ado-Ekiti, Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria 2Department of Plant Science and Biotechnology, Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, Nigeria Issued 15 March 2008 ABSTRACT A combination of social survey and direct field observation was used to identify the medicinal plant species used in Ijesa land of Osun State, Nigeria. Voucher specimens of the species were obtained and the relative abundance for each of the identified botanical species was determined. A total of 45 plant species belonging to 30 families were identified. Our survey indicated they were used in the control of 22 diseases. Tribal information of these species is passed from one generation to another. These species were found to have multiple uses in the study area. Only 29% of the species were cultivated in the study area. A considerable proportion of these plant species were extracted predatorily and collections were done indiscriminately without consideration for size and age. At present, only 47% of the medicinal plants fall in the ‘abundant’ category for this study area. Most of these abundant species were cultivated for their fruits, seeds, leaves or vegetables. Finally, strategies that would enhance the conservation of the species in the study area were proposed. INTRODUCTION The Ijesa are a distinct ethnic Yoruba indigenous group in Osun State, Nigeria. They are found in local government areas in Ilesa West, Ilesa East, Oriade, Obokun and Atakumosa. Ijesa, like other Yoruba groups, cherished and preserved their culture seriously (Kayode 2002).

  • Male Attitudes to Cases of Unwanted Pregnancy and Their Involvement in Abortion Decision-Making in Southwest Nigeria
    Male Attitudes to Cases of Unwanted Pregnancy and their Involvement in Abortion Decision-Making in Southwest Nigeria In Nigeria, contraceptive knowledge is low and access to family planning services is poor. The 2003 NDHS results indicate that while 13 percent of currently married women are using a method of family planning, only 8 percent are using a modern method. The 2003 NDHS shows that knowledge of contraception is low in the country and women may be at risk of unwanted pregnancy if their family planning needs are not met. Consequently, cases of unplanned pregnancies, especially among young unmarried women are increasingly common. Studies have shown that high incidence of unsafe abortion exists among students who resort to illegal abortion to avoid expulsion from school (WHO, 1994; Becker et al., 1992), ‘when they experience contraceptive failure’ (Okonofua et al, 1996) and for financial concerns and fear of social reprisal because of an out-of-wedlock pregnancy (Makinwa-Adebusoye, 1989). Women who resort to abortion are most likely to be adolescents and women under age 25 years (Barker and Khasiani, 1995). However, cases of unwanted pregnancies and abortions are not peculiar to young unmarried adolescents alone, many of the married women also engage in illegal and clandestine abortions for diverse reasons. For instance in Ghana, studies revealed that out of 900 women seeking an induced abortion or reporting complications from induced abortion, more than half (about 55%) were married and one-fourth were adolescents (WHO, 1994a). A common reason mostly given by women for unwanted pregnancy and eventual termination was poor timing of the pregnancy or the need to space births better.
