FAMILY PLANNING/ CHILDBIRTH SPACING POLICY BRIEF Oyo State Health Indices Contraceptive Prevalence Rate: 37.4% Unmet Needs: 13.2% Infant Mortality: 69/1000 HIV/AIDS Prevalence: 3% Maternal Mortality Rate: 262/100,000 live Births Total Fertility Rate: 4.5 2013 NDHS OYO STATE POLICY BRIEF Oyo state prides herself as a pace setter in social, cultural and economic development. However the health indicators need a lot of improvement to keep the pace setter status. Oyo state has 262 maternal deaths per 100,000 live birth annually These maternal deaths are preventable with the use of reliable and appropriate interventions including family planning/ childbirth spacing (FP/CBS) services. Infant mortality stands at 69 deaths per 1,000 live births The unmet need for contraceptive use is 13.2% While the contraceptive prevalence Rate (CPR) is 37 .4% How to Improve Contraceptive Use in Oyo State. The Need for Specific Budget Line for Family Planning/ Child Spacing The NHIS and under 5/MDG fund initiative introduced by Oyo State as well as the new Health Insurance Agency provide a window of opportunity to mainstream FP/CBS in order to reach the undeserved and less privileged. There is the need to incorporate a specific budget line by creating a sub-code in the newly introduced IPSAS policy for FP/CBS programs. The continuous release of funds will create a huge opportunity to sustain FP services. Nigerian Urban Reproductive Health Initiative Adequate funding for FP/CBS is needed for logistics, capacity building, supervision, monitoring and demand creation to achieve improved uptake of FP/CBS Services.

S. and Ogunjemite, B. G. Department of Ecotourism and Wildlife Management, Federal University of Technology, Akure. Corresponding Author email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The distribution of large mammals in Idanre Forest Reserve was assessed using the line transect method with a total number of five (5) transect lines and employing the use of Global Positioning System (GPS) to take the different points and location of different species of large mammals both sighted directly and indirectly. It was observed that transect C and D (within the undisturbed forest) 45 and 38 sightings respectively which were evenly distributed within this transects. It was also observed that transect C had 30.41 % the highest rate occurrence in terms of distribution of signs of large mammals. The study also revealed that in terms of vegetation cover preference, all of the large mammals were distributed with the undisturbed forest habitat while the Cephalophus silvicultor were not distributed within the disturbed forest and the farm land .Also, all the primates were available within all the habitat types with the exception of Cercocerbus torquatus which is not distributed within the Cercocebus torquatus farmland. The research revealed that there are still some significant amounts of large mammals within the reserve and if well conserved in terms of enforcement of strict adherence to forest laws, there will be an increase in terms of the distribution within their natural habitat and reduced dispersal outside their natural place of abode.

Cassava tubers can also be processed Computer Aided Design (CAD), and fabricated. into alcoholic beverages, biofuel, animal feed, The machine consists of a rotary sweeper with the laundry starch, and used for medicinal purposes sieve to sift the dewatered cassava mash poured etc. It is locally processed to gari, fermented and into it through the hopper, and its powered by a unfermented flour, as well as a local delicacy 3.75 kW, 1450rpm electric motor. The machine called ‘Fufu’ for domestic consumption, lafun, was tested with ten samples of dewatered abacha, etc., for human consumption.

  • The Case Study of Owo LGA, Ondo State, Nigeria
    The International Journal Of Engineering And Science (IJES) ||Volume||2 ||Issue|| 9 ||Pages|| 19-31||2013|| ISSN(e): 2319 – 1813 ISSN(p): 2319 – 1805 Geo-Information for Urban Waste Disposal and Management: The Case Study of Owo LGA, Ondo State, Nigeria *1Dr. Michael Ajide Oyinloye and 2Modebola-Fadimine Funmilayo Tokunbo Department of Urban and Regional Planning, School of Environmental Technology, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria --------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT-------------------------------------------------- Management of waste is a global environmental issue that requires special attention for the maintenance of quality environment. It has been observed that amount, size, nature and complexity of waste generated by man are profoundly influenced by the level of urbanization and intensity of socio-economical development in a given settlement. The problem associated with its management ranges from waste generation, collection, transportation, treatment and disposal. The study involves a kind of multi-criteria evaluation method by using geographical information technology as a practical instrument to determine the most suitable sites of landfill location in Owo Local Government Area of Ondo state. Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper plus (ETM+) 2002 and updated 2012 were used to map the most suitable site for waste disposal in Owo LGA. The result indicates that sites were found within the study area. The most suitable sites in the study area are located at 200metre buffer to surface water and 100metre to major and minor roads. The selected areas have 2500metres buffer zone distance from urban areas (built up areas). The study purposes acceptable landfill sites for solid waste disposal in the study area. The results achieved in this study will help policy and decision makers to take appropriate decision in considering sanitary landfill sites.

  • Assessing the Impact of Soil Erosion on Residential Areas of Efon-Alaaye Ekiti, Ekiti-State, Nigeria
    International Journal of Environmental Planning and Management Vol. 5, No. 1, 2019, pp. 23-31 http://www.aiscience.org/journal/ijepm ISSN: 2381-7240 (Print); ISSN: 2381-7259 (Online) Assessing the Impact of Soil Erosion on Residential Areas of Efon-Alaaye Ekiti, Ekiti-State, Nigeria Olusa Adekemi Opeyemi 1, *, Faturoti Helen Abidemi 2, Otokiti Kolade Victor 3 Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria Abstract Soil erosion is a persistent process that continues relatively unnoticed, or at an alarming rate causing serious threats to soil. About 84% of the global land loss has been attributed to erosion. Accordingly, erosion is one of the most significant environmental problems worldwide. In this paper, Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) were used to assess the impact of soil erosion on residential areas of Efon-Alaayee Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria. Soil erodability, slope, land cover and support practice factors were the variables used to investigate the impact of soil erosion in the study area. As an output, a soil loss map was developed and the total land area at risk of being lost to erosion was estimated from the analysis. The soil loss map was calculated to be between 0 to > 756.60 tons per hectare (31.9 sq.km) in a year. The soil map was classified into four categories based on erosion risk classes, namely: slight, moderate, high and very high. The result indicates that 21.8 sq.km area is under slight class, 6.5 sq.km area is under moderate class, 2.7 sq.km is under high class while, 0.54km sq.km area is under very high class.
