However, this is to take to the doorstep of the nomadic and other disadvantaged groups, education.Perhaps, as directed by the Nigerian National Policy on Education. The nomadic population in Nigeria has been estimated to be about 9.3 million people of whom about 3.1 million are juvenescence school-aged children. The prepotencies of this population are pastoralists, whereby the remaining population consists of fisher folk and farmers.Fisher Folk Education programs are being implemented in some parts of the country considered to have fisher folk communities with larger populations, such as Rivers, Bayelsa, Cross River and Akwa-Ibom states among others. However, none of such educational set-ups is in place in Northern Nigeria, whereas there is the need, as in the case of Yauri Emirate of Kebbi state.

Kebbi State Fadama Coordination office (Kebbi Fadama III Project), KARDA HQs, Birnin Kebbi, Nigeria. Abstract: The study was conducted to evaluate the impact of the National Fadama Development Project on resources use, crop yield and farm incomes in Kebbi State. A hundred farmers (50 participants and 50 non- participants) were randomly selected from five local government areas of the State. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Production functions and farm budgeting. The study revealed that participants used more improved inputs especially, fertilizer, improved seeds, water pumps and pesticides than non-participants. The results obtained showed that tomato, onion and pepper production was profitable. Profit was however higher for participants. The regression analysis showed that land, labour, seed, fertilizer and irrigation hours were important in explaining the variation in output of tomato, onion and pepper under irrigation by the two categories of farmers. From the resource use efficiency stand point, substantial resource use disequilibria were found. Opportunity therefore, exist for raising profitability through resource re- allocation under existing irrigation systems. Keywords: National Fadama Development Project, Resource use, Crop yield, Farm income. I. Introduction One of the key constraints to agricultural production in Nigeria has been inadequate supply and uneven distribution of water.

With rapid population growth and urbanization most, states in Nigeria find it difficult to deliver potable water to a substantial number of people who are in dire need for this resource, especially in the Urban areas. In this study, we attempt to relate public water supply to population density in Kebbi State. An inventory of water supply facilities was taken in 21 Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Kebbi State. Census data was collected from the National Population Commission (NPC), Birnin-kebbi. Results showed that, population density correlates very strongly and positively with handpumps (r=0.95), urban schemes (r=0.88), semi-urban schemes (r=0.69) and village scheme (r=0.74). There was a very weak but positive correlation between population density and boreholes (r=<0.001); population density and tabs (r=<0.001). PCA results showed, that the 21 LGAs cluster nicely across a spectrum of public water supply infrastructure.

Four villages in Bunza Local Government Area were proportionately selected in the study area. Four sample plots (50m x 50m) were laid at random within the villages, and tree species found were enumerated, a total of 16 villages were sampled. The data was analysed using descriptive statistics. The results indicated that different tree species were identified in the study area, which include Combretum glutonosumr which recorded the highest (36), followed by Azadirachta indica with (23), while Pillostigma thoningii and Hyphaene thebaic (17), and Gmelina arborea and Ziziphus mauritiana recorded the lowest (1). Combretum glutinosum has the highest density of (144/h) across the study area, followed by Azadirachta indica (92/h) density followed by Adansaonia digitata with (60/h) and the trees with lowest density are Ziziphus mauritiana, Gmelina arborea, both with density of (4). The result further explains that Fabaceae family recorded the highest with (5) followed by the family meliaceae, Arecaceae with (2), and the lowest families are Verbenaceae and Rhamnaceae.

Cooperation .Self-help. ABSTRACT Contrary to prevailing notions, Nigerians, inspite of their distance from the theater of war, felt the great impact of World War II and made substantial sacrifices which contributed to Allied victory over Nazism. Using Archival sources and national dailies ignored by previous scholars, the paper concludes that there was positive collaboration between the colonial government and Nigerian press in Britain’s Win the War efforts in Nigeria as illustrated by the Nigeria Win the War Fund. INTRODUCTION since Nigerians were so far removed from the theater of war and from the great issues at stake The impact of the Second World War in (Coleman 1958). awakening African political consciousness Such negative views of the role of the Nigerian (Crowder 1974) and in heightening the tempo of press, and of Nigerian contributions to World War political activities (Olusanya 1980a) against the II efforts neither present the whole picture nor background of the pre-war political docility of reflect the evidence (Mordi 1994). Rather, they the elite ( Hodgkin 1951; Crowder 1984) and the relegate and indeed obscure the positive concomitant hope of the colonial overlords to collaboration, at least from the British perspective, exercise unchallenged authority for generations between the colonial government and the press (Ajayi and Crowder 1974) has been studied.

  • Islam in Yauri Emirate to the End of 20Th Century
    Journal of Islam in Nigeria, Vol. 1 No 1, June 2015 131 Islam in Yauri Emirate to the End of 20th Century Yasin ABUBAKAR Department of History, Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, Nigeria Abstract Yauri Emirate is one of the four emirates that form the modern Kebbi State of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is made up of three Local Government Areas of Kebbi State, namely Yauri, Ngaski and Shanga. The emirate originated from the defunct Yauri Kingdom which seized to exist following the British conquest of the area at the turn of the 20th century. An important feature attached to the history of Islam in Yauri Emirate is that, though the religion reached the state way back in the 17th century and since that time its rulers have been largely Muslims, Islam continued to be religion of the aristocrats and Hausa people who were predominantly found in Birnin Yauri and Agwara (Ngaski), the only two towns with large Hausa population in the old Yauri Kingdom. Long before and after the coming of Islam in the kingdom the indigenous people in Yauri who include: Gungawa, Kambari, Dukkawa and Lopawa were followers of their respective traditional religions. The native people did not show interest in the new religion on one hand, and the past rulers of Yauri did not make much effort to islamise them on the other. However, the 20th century marked a turning point in the history of spread of Islam among the native people of Yauri, especially the Gungawa, Lopawa and Kambari. This was due to activities of different categories of people in the emirate who among others include: Muslim clerics, Sardauna Islamazation campaign, Islamic organizations and Muslim youth.
