Introduction Introduction In compliance with Part V, Section 19(b) of the Public Procurement Act 2007 which tasks the Bureau of Public Procurement with the responsibility to screen Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) that will observe Procurement Processes in MDAs, a compact and updated list of accredited CSOs capable of observing Procurement Processes has been carefully compiled in this booklet. The booklet is a synergy of details from Civil Society Organisations (Volume I & Volume II) and also includes details of newly accredited CSOs. Therefore, this booklet supersedes previous editions. Also, these CSOs shall be guided by the Code of Conduct as published already by the Bureau of Public Procurement(BPP). Please note that this list is by no means exhaustive and would be regularly updated as more CSOs are screened and qualified to partake in Procurement Processes. 1 LIST OF CSOS TRAINED FOR PUBLIC PROCUREMENT OBSERVATION: VOL III S/No NAME OF ORGANIZATION EMAIL ADDRESS OFFICE ADDRESS PHONE NUMBER CONTACT PERSON 1.

  • Fine Particulate Distribution and Assessment in Nasarawa State – Nigeria
    IOSR Journal of Applied Physics (IOSR-JAP) e-ISSN: 2278-4861.Volume 8, Issue 2 Ver. I (Mar. - Apr. 2016), PP 32-38 www.iosrjournals Fine Particulate Distribution and Assessment in Nasarawa State – Nigeria J.U. Ugwuanyi1, A.A. Tyovenda2, T.J. Ayua3 1,2,3 Department Of Physics, University Of Agriculture Makurdi, Benue State - Nigeria Abstract: The purpose of this work is to analyze fine particulate matter (PM10 ) distribution in the ambient air of some major towns in Nasarawa State-North central Nigeria using a high volume respirable dust sampler (APM 460 NL) model, also the meteorological parameters of the State have been correlated with the measured values. Ambient air laden with suspended particulates enter the APM 460 NL system through the inlet pipe, which separates the air into fine and coarse particles. The PM10 concentrations were analyzed to obtain the monthly average PM10 concentration and monthly maximum concentration. The results show that Nasarawa State towns of Karu and Lafia have fine particulates loading in the ambient air more than the recommended standard set by NAAQS and WHO. Variation trends of pollution levels were also identified. The fine particulate matter PM10 average concentrations in the ambient air of Nasarawa State towns had average values increase in the range of 4.0 – 18.0µg/m3 per month. The level of monthly increase of maximum average concentrations also had readings in the range of 8.0 – 20.0 µg/m3 per month. These values were compared with the NAAQS to obtain the toxicity potential for all the study towns in the State.

Manage. https://www.ajol.info/index.php/jasem Vol. 23 (4) 763-767 April 2019 Electronic ISSN 1119-8362 http://ww.bioline.org.br/ja Spatial and Temporal Drought Analysis in the North Central Region of Nigeria *1OKEKE, TC; 2OKEOLA, OG *1Civil Engineering Department, Federal University Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria 2Water Resources & Environmental Engineering Dept, University of Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria *Corresponding Author Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: This study examined the occurrence of drought in north central Nigeria. Problems related to drought includes: unpredictable commencement and end time of rainfall season, seasonal rainfall fluctuations, long period of no rainfall. Monthly rainfall data was obtained from the Nigeria Metrological Agency (NIMET) Lagos. This covers up to 51 years for seven different metrological stations namely: Lafia, Ilorin, Markurdi, Jos, Lokoja, and Minna and Abuja. Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) was adopted for this study. SPI approach requires a transformation to the initial distribution of rainfall to achieve a normalized distribution. Drought analysis indicates 1980s as the decade with worst drought effect as drought incidences were observed in Jos, Minna, Ilorin and Markurdi stations and 1983 as the only year in which drought occurred simultaneously across four different stations.
