URBAN SPRAWL, PATTERN AND MEASUREMENT IN LOKOJA, NIGERIA URBAN SPRAWL, PATTERN AND MEASUREMENT IN LOKOJA, NIGERIA Michael Oloyede ALABI Department of Geography and Planning, Kogi State University P.M. B. 1008, Anyigba, Nigeria ement [email protected] Abstract Lokoja have been experiencing a large influx of population from its surrounding regions, which had led to rapid growth and expansion that had left profound changes on the landscape in terms of land use and land cover. This study uses the GIS techniques and the application of Shannon’s entropy theory to measure the behavior of sprawl which is based on the notion that landscape entropy or disorganization increases with sprawl, analysis was carried out based on the integration of remote sensing and GIS, the measurement of entropy is devised based on the town location factors, distance from roads, to reveal and capture spatial patterns of urban sprawl. Then Entropy value for each zone revealed a high value, especially areas outside the core city area; like Felele, with the entropy of 0.3, Adankolo, 0.2 and Lokongoma, 0.2. These areas are evenly dispersed settlement, as one move away from the city core. Study shows a correlation of population densities and entropy values of 1987 and 2007, for areas like Felele ,Adankolo, and Lokongoma , which is indicative of spread over space , an evidence of sprawl. But as we go down the table the entropy values seem to tend towards zero.

    Journal of American Science, 3(2), 2007, Bello and Makinde, Delineation Of The Aquifer In The South- Western Part Of The Nupe Basin, Kwara State, Nigeria Delineation of the Aquifer in the South-Western Part of the Nupe Basin, Kwara State, Nigeria 1.Bello, Abdulmajeed A, 2.Makinde, Victor 1. Department of Physics, Institute of Basic and Applied Science, Kwara State Polytechnic Ilorin. 2. Department of Physics, University of Agriculture, PMB 2240, Abeokuta, [email protected] 1All correspondence should be directed to 2 above Abstract: A geophysical study using the Vertical Electrical Soundings (VES) techniques has been used to investigate the sub-surface layering in the southwestern part of the Niger Basin in order to determine the nature, characteristics and spatial extent of the components of the aquifer underlying the region. The results of the interpreted VES data suggest that the layering in the region range from three to five layers. The geologic sections derived from the analyzed geoelectric section suggest that the alluvial deposits of sand, sandy clay, medium to coarse sandstones, as well as the weathered and fractured basement constitute the aquifer found in this sedimentary region. Furthermore the results of the interpretation of the VES data indicate that the thickness values of the aquifer vary from 6.01 m to 58.60 m. The geoelectric section generated also suggest that the resistivity values of the aquifer components range from 4.2 Ω-m to 106.7 Ω- m for the alluvial deposits; 33.7 Ω-m to 108.6 Ω-m (weathered basement); and 345.7 Ω-m to 564.0 Ω-m for the fractured basement rocks.

N.1 1Department of Surveying and Geo-Informatics, Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria. 2Department of Geo-informatic, and Surveying, University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus, Enugu State, Nigeria. Received 9 June, 2020; Accepted 4 September, 2020 This study applied Log-Pearson Type III probability distribution to model time series annual peak flow records of River Niger recorded at Lokoja gauging station. This was necessitated by the need to provide reliable data for safe and economic hydrologic design for security of lives and property at downstream of river Niger basin. Though several methods have been adopted in the study area for flood mitigation, however, it has become apparent that these measures are inadequate and no attempt has been made to apply statistical approach for provision of sustainable solution. Though flood cannot be prevented but the impact can be reduced by applying adequate counter measures. Therefore, this study shows the result of flood frequency analysis based on annual peak flow measurement covering a period of 18 years (1995-2012) carried by National Inland Water Ways (NIWA) at Lokoja gauge station. The probability distribution function was applied to return periods (T) of 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 200 years.

  • KOGI STATE GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION 2019 Brief
    KOGI STATE GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION 2019 Brief 1 BACKGROUND The Kogi State Governorship election is scheduled to take place on Saturday, November 16, 2019. The election will be taking place simultaneously with the governorship elections in Bayelsa State. These governorship elections would be the first elections to be conducted by INEC post-2019 general elections. Kogi State, with a land area of 29,833 square kilometres, was carved out of Kwara and Benue states on August 27, 1991. Kogi is one of the states in the north-central zone of Nigeria. It is popularly called the confluence state due to the fact that the confluence of Rivers Niger and Benue occur there. There are three main ethnic groups in the state namely Igala, Ebira, and Okun; with the Igalas being the largest ethnic group. Lokoja is the state capital. Kogi State, with a population of 3,314,043 according to 2006 census, is the most centrally located of all the states of the federation. It shares common boundaries with Niger, Kwara and Nasarawa states as well as the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to the north Benue and Enugu states to the East; Enugu and Anambra states to the south; and to the west by Ondo, Ekiti and Edo states. PRESENT DAY GOVERNMENT OF KOGI STATE The present Governor of Kogi is Alhaji Yahaya Bello and the Deputy Governor of the State is Edward Onoja (his former Chief of Staff), who was sworn into office in October 2019 fpllpowing the controversial impeachment of the former Deputy Governor, Simon Achuba. On 5th December 2015, Governor Yahaya Bello was declared the elected Governor of the State after a supplementary election was held to conclude the inconclusive election of Saturday, 22nd November 2015.

Acute water shortage and challenges of abortive and non-functional open and closed wells has prompted this study on the development of the groundwater resources. This work involves using the electrical resistivity method to investigate concealed fractures within the area with the aim of delineating near surface/subsurface geological layers to determine the depths, thickness, structural trends and spatial distribution of basement rocks as potential sources of groundwater. A total of thirty six vertical electrical sounding (VES) using the Schlumberger configuration was employed for the study. The depth and resistivity of the subsurface layers were determined. The interpreted results of the geo electrical sections indicates the presence of four subsurface layers: top soil of thickness and resistivity values ranging from 0.2 – 5.0m and 169 – 3728 ohms meter, weathered basement ranging from 5 – 12m and 100 – 914 ohms meter, fractured basement ranging from 6.2 – 196 meters and 42 - 196 ohms meter the fresh rock bedrock ranging from infinity in thickness and 741 – 3691 ohms metres.

Two search for water could be diverted for economic activities hundred questionnaires were administered in the LGA and 32 that could be of financial gain to these poor rural families. socio-economic variables were generated altogether. Principal According to Whittington, et al (1990) a study in Kenya component analysis and stepwise regression analysis were used among rural dwellers of Ukanda showed that household in to interpret the data. The result of the principal components reduced the 32 variables to seven orthogonal components. The the village place a surprisingly high value on the time they factor defining variables underlying the explanation are: water spend collecting water. Finally, Coasta, et al (2009) in a borne diseases, marital status and distances to the nearest recent study in Ghana discovered that the time spent on water points. Others are: number of days lost to treatment, remunerated job increases when household are provided family size, and age of respondent. These components offered with electricity and also that the supply of water reduces the 95.5% explanation to the variance. Furthermore, the result of time burden faced by rural women.

It is a well-known fact that adequate supply of fresh and clean drinking water is a basic need for all human beings on the earth. This research aimed to determine the trace of metals and other physico-chemical properties in water samples collected from eight selected location in the study area (Enjema-Ofugo) in Ankpa Local Government Area of Kogi State. The investigated metals (Na, K, Pb, Cd, Se, and Cr) were analysed using atomic absorption spectrophotometric method while Alkalinity, pH, temperature, turbidity, conductivity, total solids, total dissolved solids, suspended solids and soluble anions (phosphate, chloride, nitrate, and bicarbonate) and other physico-chemical parameters were analysed using appropriate standard techniques. The results also showed that Cd, Se and Hg were not detected, while other physico-chemical parameters were within the permissible limits set by World Health Organization (WHO) for drinking water except phosphate ion. However, source protection is recommended for the water bodies for the benefit of the community people in the study area.
