  • Causes, Effect and Abatement Measures of Flooding in River Ajilosun Drainage Basin in Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria
    Donnish Journal of Ecology and the Natural Environment Vol 4(1) pp. 001-010 September, 2017 http://www.donnishjournals.org/djene Copyright © 2017 Donnish Journals Original Research Article Causes, Effect and Abatement Measures of Flooding in River Ajilosun Drainage Basin in Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria Arohunsoro, Segun Joseph and Omotoba, Nathaniel Ileri* Department of Geography and Planning Science, Ekiti State University, P.M.B. 5363, Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeira. Accepted 28th August, 2017. The paper examined causes, effect and abatement measures of flooding in River Ajilosun drainage basin in Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria. Data were collected on morphometric variables such as channel width and channel depth which were measured with ranging pole and tie rod. Channel efficiency was derived from a mathematical relationship between the channel capacity and the wetted perimeter of the channel. Data on slopes were obtained with Abney level. Data were also obtained on distance of buildings to river valley with a tape measure. 150 copies of questionnaire were also administered systematically to landlords of houses along River Ajilosun in order to obtain information on experience and effect of flooding in the basin. The study employed both descriptive and inferential statistics to analyze the data. The outcome of the descriptive analysis revealed illegal dumping of refuse in stream channel as the principal cause of flooding in River Ajilosun. Other causes of flooding are the heavy and frequent tropical rainfall in the area. The results of the quantitative analysis showed that the geomorphological variables accounted for about 80% of the total variation in spatial extent of flooding in the drainage basin.

  • Building Resilience of Tertiary Education Institutions in Africa to Tackle COVID-19 and Future Epidemics: a Multidisciplinary Research Network
    Ekejiuba, Salami, Okonofua, Ukaoha, Ntoimo, Arthur, Delamou, Yaya, Balogun, Odunsi, Wallis WERA – IRN Proposal Topic: Building Resilience of tertiary education institutions in Africa to tackle COVID-19 and future epidemics: A multidisciplinary research network 1) Abstract (not more than 150 words) COVID-19 outbreak has impacted negatively with consequential effects on health challenges, death, isolation and closure of schools. Africans remain at high risk because of poverty. Building resilience of higher institutions can help to overcome this and future pandemics. To date, African universities do not have coordinated resilient actions on ways to tackle the pandemic. If universities do not work together, this and future pandemics will not be defeated. What then will university stakeholders do to build resilience so as to handle the current and future pandemics? The answers to these questions will be the focus of this network project. Researchers will adopt regional analysis while employing mixed research methods. The findings will be useful in helping African universities collaborate with Universities in the south in building strong structures and milestones for overcoming the adverse consequences of the pandemic. It will help to create collaboration and strengthen networks within WERA-IRN global. 2) Research Topic and Plan The COVID-19 pandemic has had very devastating outcomes on educational institutions in many parts of the world. To date, nearly all countries have witnessed the disease, and as of January 15, 2021, over 96 million cases have been recorded worldwide, with an estimated 2 million death, surely one of the most devastating pandemics in modern times. Although sub-Saharan Africa has been less affected than other regions of the world with an estimated 3.2 million cases and 79,000 deaths during the same period, the pandemic has had more severe adverse consequences on the economy and education of African countries as compared to other parts of the world.

  • Ondo Governorship Pre-Elections Poll
    PRESS RELEASE Ondo Guber pre-election poll- Close race between Akeredolu and Oke With significant proportion of undecided voters Abuja, Nigeria. November 22nd 2016 – In the race to the Ondo State Governorship election, a new public opinion poll conducted by NOIPolls has revealed a close race between Rotimi Akeredolu, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Olusola Oke, candidate of the Alliance for Democracy (AD); with a 1 percent point difference between both candidates. The poll was conducted in the week commencing 14th November 2016 and it sought to measure the level of preparedness of Ondo State residents for the forthcoming Gubernatorial election slated for 26th November 2016. When asked which candidate respondents will be casting their vote for, the result puts Akeredolu in a slight lead with 24%, over Olusola Oke with 23%. Interestingly, respondents also mentioned two candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), with Eyitayo Jegede (11%) trending ahead of the candidate currently listed by INEC, Jimoh Ibrahim (7%). Other candidates mentioned include Olu Agunloye (4%) and Francis Adeyemi Alao (2%) of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) respectively. However, a significant proportion of voters, 29%, remain undecided as to who they will cast their vote for on election day. It is worth noting from the poll that Olusola Oke seems to be gaining huge momentum as a consolation candidate swinging support across party lines; especially from the PDP where most supporters of one of the candidates, Eyitayo Jegede, disclosed that they would cast their votes in favour of Olusola Oke if the party does not resolve its internal crisis.
