  • Proof of Influence Evaluation of the Nigeria Evidence‐Based Health System Initiative (NEHSI)
    Proof of Influence Evaluation of the Nigeria Evidence‐based Health System Initiative (NEHSI) Commissioned by the Evaluation Sub-Committee of the Project Advisory Committee and the Governance for Equity in Health Programme, The International Development Research Centre, Canada. Report written by the Evaluation Technical Advisory Committee (Muhammed M Lecky (IDRC-NEHSI Senior Advisor), Sarah BJ Macfarlane (Independent Consultant), Ricardo Wilson-Grau (Independent Consultant)) July 15th 2014 Executive Summary Between 2008 and 2014, the Government of Nigeria implemented the Nigeria Evidence‐based Health System Initiative (NEHSI), with support from Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada (DFATD). NEHSI undertook activities to increase the generation and use of evidence for decision-making in Bauchi and Cross River states with the goal of strengthening the health care system to deliver effective, efficient and equitable primary health care (PHC). In 2012, the Evaluation Sub-Committee of NEHSI’s Project Advisory Committee commissioned this evaluation to explore NEHSI’s ‘proof of influence’ by examining its outcomes to answer two questions: Evaluation question 1: To what extent and how has NEHSI influenced the evidence-based planning and decision-making (through changes in knowledge use, capacity, habit, and governance processes) in the primary health care system in particular and in the health system in general at the individual, community, and institutional level (federal, Bauchi State, Cross River State, and local government areas (LGA))? Evaluation question 2: Sustainabilty: To what extent do the NEHSI outcomes achieved to date a) reinforce each other, and b) embody the principles of evidence-based planning and decision-making in the Nigerian primary health care system? The evaluation team, which was advised by IDRC and the Evaluation Sub-Committee, comprised two independent consultants and one IDRC-NEHSI Senior Advisor.

  • Inventory of Existing Rural Water Supply Sources Using Model Nigerian Communities Vis a Vis Household Access to Improved Water
    IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) e-ISSN: 2278-1684,p-ISSN: 2320-334X, Volume 11, Issue 4 Ver. VII (Jul- Aug. 2014), PP 16-23 www.iosrjournals.org Inventory Of Existing Rural Water Supply Sources Using Model Nigerian Communities Vis a Vis Household Access to Improved Water NDUBUBA, Olufunmilayo I. Civil Engineering Dept. Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi, Nigeria Abstract: A household is considered to have access to basic services required by a family unit in Nigeria if the household has water supply and sanitation facilities, which are used appropriately at all times. A comprehensive inventory of all water sources was conducted in 12 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of four States of Bauchi, Benue, Jigawa and Katsina States between 2011 and 2012; the data was used to relate access to basic services of the people to the population living within the communities studied. It was found that Katsina State had the largest number of solar powered water supply systems (40.3% of all motorized water sources in the State) followed by Bauchi with 36.4%. The most common improved rural water source in the LGAs was bore-holes with hand-pumps (82.28%). Functionality was also monitored. For hand-pumps, there was a relationship between community ownership and functionality (Dass-Bauchi 77.17%; Warji-Bauchi 75.15%; Oju-Benue 82.09%). Population data on each LGA used to analyse the percentage number of household using the improved water sources showed that all the four LGAs still fall short of the basic access of 30 litres per capita per day within 250 metres radius of the water source.

Edition Roger Blench Kay Williamson Educational Foundation 8, Guest Road, Cambridge CB1 2AL United Kingdom Voice/Answerphone 00-44-(0)1223-560687 Mobile 00-44-(0)7967-696804 E-mail [email protected] http://rogerblench.info/RBOP.htm Skype 2.0 identity: roger blench i Introduction The present electronic is a fully revised and amended edition of ‘An Index of Nigerian Languages’ by David Crozier and Roger Blench (1992), which replaced Keir Hansford, John Bendor-Samuel and Ron Stanford (1976), a pioneering attempt to synthesize what was known at the time about the languages of Nigeria and their classification. Definition of a Language The preparation of a listing of Nigerian languages inevitably begs the question of the definition of a language. The terms 'language' and 'dialect' have rather different meanings in informal speech from the more rigorous definitions that must be attempted by linguists. Dialect, in particular, is a somewhat pejorative term suggesting it is merely a local variant of a 'central' language. In linguistic terms, however, dialect is merely a regional, social or occupational variant of another speech-form. There is no presupposition about its importance or otherwise. Because of these problems, the more neutral term 'lect' is coming into increasing use to describe any type of distinctive speech-form. However, the Index inevitably must have head entries and this involves selecting some terms from the thousands of names recorded and using them to cover a particular linguistic nucleus. In general, the choice of a particular lect name as a head-entry should ideally be made solely on linguistic grounds.

    International Journal of Engineering and Modern Technology ISSN 2504-8848 Vol. 1 No.8 2015 www.iiardpub.org An Overview of Lignocellulose in Twenty (20) Local Government Areas of Bauchi State 1Mustapha D. Ibrahim and 2Ahmad Abdurrazzaq 1Department of Chemical Engineering, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi, Bauchi State, Nigeria 2Department of Chemical Engineering Technology, Federal Polytechnic Mubi, Mubi, Adamawa State, Nigeria 1E-mail: [email protected], 2E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT In the past few decades, there has been an increasing research interest in the value of lignocellulosic material. Lignocellulose biomass abundant holds remarkable high potentials that will go a long way in solving environmental, domestic and industrial problems if harnessed. The overview looked into only six (6) types of lignocellulose which comprised of sugar cane bagasse, corn stover, groundnut shell, sorghum residue, millet residue, and rice straw in Bauchi State. Research method adopted was by analysis of variance and percentile. The quantity of lignocelluloses studied i.e. Sugarcane bagasse, corn stover, groundnut shell, millet residue, sorghum residue and rice straw were found to be (936.7; 539,079.9; 144,352.0; 784,419.5; 905,370.6; and 73,335.5) tones/annum respectively. However, lignocellulose as a source of bioenergy in form of ethanol, the findings further revealed the estimated quantity of ethanol from sugarcane bagasse, corn stover, rice straw, sorghum, groundnut shell and millet to be at 142,462.7; 78,317,527.9; 9,339,055.9; 147,973,770.9; 18,022,347.2; and 62,322,129.3 liters/annum respectively.

  • DTM Nigeria Round XXI Baseline Dashboard
    DTM DTM Nigeria | Baseline Dashboard - Round XXI Nigeria IOM OIM February 2018 IOM manages the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) in Nigeria and other countries round the world to support humanitarian communi�es with data on displacement and mobility. This informa�on management product determines the status, loca�ons, and needs of people displaced by the ongoing conflict in Northeast Nigeria. As of 2 February 2018, the DTM has iden�fied 3,168,719 1,782,490 IDPs (339,037 households) across Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba, and Yobe States. This represents an IDPs and Retu rnees were increase of 4.5 per cent (79,810 individuals) from the previous DTM Round. The slight increase in the iden�fied number of IDPs covered by DTM Round XXI is a�ributable to the arrival of Nigerians from neighboring countries into situa�ons of secondary displacement, as well as communal clashes and military opera�ons. Assessments were carried out from 22 January to 02 February 2018.

  • Community Based Seroprevalence of HBV and HCV Infection in Bauchi
    S O Gut and Gastroenterology p s e s n Acce RESEARCH ARTICLE Community Based Seroprevalence of HBV and HCV Infection in Bauchi State, Nigeria Alkali M1, Okon KO2, Jibrin YB1, Umar S1, Abdulrazak Toyin3 1Department of Internal Medicine, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital, Bauchi, Nigeria 2Department of Medical Microbiology, Federal Medical Centre, Makurdi Nigeria 3Department of Chemical Pathology, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital, Bauchi, Nigeria Abstract Epidemiological data on Community-based seroprevalence of HBV and HCV are limited, thus create a information gap on apparaently healthy individual unaware of their status in the community. The study determine the seroprevalence of HBV and HCV and associated risk factors among apparently healthy individuals in three semi -urban communities of Bauchi state, Nigeria. The cross-sectional study was conducted in three communities of Bauchi state between July and August 2017. A well-structured questionnaire and informed consent was administered, and rapid diagnostic kits was employed for sero detection of HBsAg and anti- HCV. Appropriate statistical package employed for data analysis. Of the 637 participants, comprised of 284 (44.6% ) males and 353(55.6%) females, overall prevalence of 23.7%, HBsAg was detected in 20.7% (n=354) , Anti-HCV in 3.1%(n=93),and no co-infection. Statistical significant association was observed between socio-demographic variables and seroprevalence (p<0.05) except Anti-HCV and marital status. Increased HBsAg prevalence was observed with the age-group, and male participants. Similar prevalence among participants with tertiary and non-formal educational background, married and single, and civil servants. Overall risk factors analysis revealed statistical significant association between the risk factors and seroprevalence with HBV (7 out of the 12) (p<0.05), HCV (1 out of the 12) with unknown alcohol consumption (p<0.05).
