The geophysical re-survey conducted at these 56 communities and in the new 17 additional communities. Total of geophysical survey including re-survey is 117communities (173 sites). ① Electromagnetic Survey ・Method ：Loop-Loop (Srigram) ・Line ：more than200 ｍ（5 ｍ interval） ・Equipment ：GEONICS EM34 ・Analysis ：Horizontal Electric Conductivity Profiling ② Resistivity Survey ・Method ：Schlumberger method ・Survey depth：a=100m ・Equipment ：ABEM SAS300B ・Analysis ：1dimention inversion 2. Result of survey 2-1 Potential of Ground Water Basement of survey area is composed with crystal formation (Granite, Gneiss) in Precambrian Period. Upper stratum is weathered. According to the situation of weathered zone, crack and fault in crystal rock (Granite, Gneiss), the formation of aquifer is not constant due to thickness of weathered zone and scale of crack etc. Formation of aquifer are as follow: ・ It is difficult to find aquifer in fissure zone ・ Main aquifer from the test boreholes are located in the boundary between weathered zone and basement. ・ The thickness of weathered zone needs to be more than 20m for high potential of water development ・ Based on the electric conductivity and existing data, the resistivity of weathered zone needs to be less than 130 ohm-m.

  • Final Revised Oyo State Report Dec 23
    Report on Sub-National December, 2019 Budget Transparency Survey Oyo State, Nigeria Map of Oyo State, Nigeria Dr. Olugboyega A. OYERANTI DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN, IBADAN, NIGERIA Executive Summary This report presents the outcomes of the performance of Oyo State in 2018 in respect of four major indexes captured in the Budget Transparency Survey. The indexes are State Budget Transparency Index (SBTI), State Budget Document Availability Index (SBDAI), State Public Participation Index (SPPI) and State Procurement Process Index (SPrPI). The 2018 Sub-National Budget Transparency Survey was the second following similar survey in 2015. Oyo State was involved in the two exercises and this has allowed for a comparative analysis that exposed how the State responded to the outcome of the 2015 survey as seen in the outcome for 2018. The scores of the State for the four indexes showed 7 for State Budget Transparency Index (SBTI), 11 for State Budget Document Availability Index (SBDAI), 0 for State Public Participation Index (SPPI) and 20 for State Procurement Process Index (SPrPI). The scores for 2015 were 7, 8, 0, and 10, respectively. Each of the scores wwas benchmarked to a maximum value of 100. The performance of the State in 2018 leaves so much to be desired, particularly for the new administration that has just come on board in the State. Obviously, all hands must be on deck to bring about improved and better performance as far as budget process matters are concerned in the State. There is no evidence to suggest the dearth of manpower required to change the current image of budget process in the State.

  • (Title of the Thesis)*
    The Role of Social capital in Community-Based Urban Solid Waste Management: Case Studies from Ibadan Metropolis, Nigeria by Samuel Wahab A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Planning Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2012 © Samuel Wahab 2012 AUTHOR'S DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made available to the public. ii Abstract Urban solid waste management (USWM) problems facing cities in the developed and developing world are well documented; however, progress in tackling them is very slow in the latter. There are still many communities, neighbourhoods, and local markets where garbage is not collected for a considerable length of time. Many of the affected houses are situated in poor neighbourhoods on the edges and core areas of cities. In order to secure the future of urban environments in the developing world from continuous or perpetual decay, it is important to study the role of social capital in urban solid waste management. Toward this end, a case study research was carried out in Ibadan, Nigeria. For the purpose of the study, social capital was defined as the attributes of social organization, such as trust, cultural norms and social networks by which communities facilitate action. Emerging research suggests that social capital might have an important role to play in effective community-based urban solid waste management initiatives.

O. Raji, T. A. Ilori, A. O. Adejumo, O Kilanko ABSTRACT A survey on maintenance culture of some Agricultural processing machines was carried out in Oyo state to investigate the type of maintenance practices carried out by stakeholder in the small scale agro- processing industry. Well structured questionnaire was used to source information on common machine fault, availability of spare parts, technical knowhow and types of maintenance carried out. A total of 150 questionnaires were administered while 86.7% were retrieved, collated and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The study showed that 39% of the respondents practice predictive maintenance, 24% practice preventive while 27% combine both predictive and preventive maintenance, 8% of the respondents prefer overhauling and 3% corrective. The technical know-how for the service maintenance of the machines surveyed is spare part dependent as most of the machines are locally fabricated. However, 34.6% of the respondent tends to leave their machine for a period of six month before maintaining during the off season period. A good and effective training program on maintenance procedures should be extended to stakeholder in the agro- processing industry to keep those machines in optimum working condition.

  • Community-Directed Interventions for Priority Health Problems in Africa: Results of a Multicountry Study the CDI Study Groupa
    Research Community-directed interventions for priority health problems in Africa: results of a multicountry study The CDI Study Groupa Objective To determine the extent to which the community-directed approach used in onchocerciasis control in Africa could effectively and efficiently provide integrated delivery of other health interventions. Methods A three-year experimental study was undertaken in 35 health districts from 2005 to 2007 in seven research sites in Cameroon, Nigeria and Uganda. Four trial districts and one comparison district were randomly selected in each site. All districts had established ivermectin treatment programmes, and in the trial districts four other established interventions – vitamin A supplementation, use of insecticide-treated nets, home management of malaria and short-course, directly-observed treatment for tuberculosis patients – were progressively incorporated into a community-directed intervention (CDI) process. At the end of each of the three study years, we performed quantitative evaluations of intervention coverage and provider costs, as well as qualitative assessments of the CDI process. Findings With the CDI strategy, significantly higher coverage was achieved than with other delivery approaches for all interventions except for short-course, directly-observed treatment. The coverage of malaria interventions more than doubled. The district-level costs of delivering all five interventions were lower in the CDI districts, but no cost difference was found at the first-line health facility level. Process evaluation showed that: (i) participatory processes were important; (ii) recurrent problems with the supply of intervention materials were a major constraint to implementation; (iii) the communities and community implementers were deeply committed to the CDI process; (iv) community implementers were more motivated by intangible incentives than by external financial incentives.
