  • A Historical Survey of Socio-Political Administration in Akure Region up to the Contemporary Period
    European Scientific Journal August edition vol. 8, No.18 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 A HISTORICAL SURVEY OF SOCIO-POLITICAL ADMINISTRATION IN AKURE REGION UP TO THE CONTEMPORARY PERIOD Afe, Adedayo Emmanuel, PhD Department of Historyand International Studies,AdekunleAjasin University,Akungba-Akoko, Ondo State, Nigeria Abstract Thepaper examines the political transformation of Akureregion from the earliest times to the present. The paper traces these stages of political development in order to demonstrate features associated with each stage. It argues further that pre-colonial Akure region, like other Yoruba regions, had a workable political system headed by a monarch. However, the Native Authority Ordinance of 1916, which brought about the establishment of the Native Courts and British judicial administration in the region led to the decline in the political power of the traditional institution.Even after independence, the traditional political institution has continually been subjugated. The work relies on both oral and written sources, which were critically examined. The paper, therefore,argues that even with its present political status in the contemporary Nigerian politics, the traditional political institution is still relevant to the development of thesociety. Keywords: Akure, Political, Social, Traditional and Authority Introduction The paper reviews the political administration ofAkure region from the earliest time to the present and examines the implication of the dynamics between the two periods may have for the future. Thus,assessment of the indigenous political administration, which was prevalent before the incursion of the colonial administration, the political administration during the colonial rule and the present political administration in the region are examined herein.However, Akure, in this context, comprises the present Akure North, Akure South, and Ifedore Local Government Areas of 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.

  • A Focus on Federal University of Technology Akure, Nigeria
    American Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Vo1. 1, No. 3, 2013, 163-173 DOI: 10.11634/232907811301364 Monitoring Spatial Growth of Educational Institution using GIS: A Focus on Federal University of Technology Akure, Nigeria Micheal Ajide Oyinloye Department of Urban and Regional Planning, School of Environmental Technology, Federal University of Technology Akure, Nigeria Land use/ land cover changes is an important components in understanding the interaction of human activities with its environment, therefore it is necessary to analyze such change. The land use/landcover dynamics of Federal University of Technology Akure(FUTA) for a period of sixteen years was analyzed using Multi-temporal and Multi-source image of LandSat (TM) of 1986, LandSat (ETM+) of 2002and Quick bird satellite image of 2012. Maximum likelihood (MAL) supervised digital image classification method was employed using ILWIS 3.2 and Arcview 3.1 GIS software. Eight landcover/landuse classes were created: Built up area, Dense forest, Bareland, Exposed soil, Forest reserves, Gulley forest, Light forest and Rock-out crop. Change information was derived by comparing the classified maps. The results showed that the landcover in the study area has changed during the periods especially the built-up area has increased rapidly for the periods ( 1986- 2012).The results also show increase the bareland, exposed rock out crops while forest reserves, gulley forest and light forest decrease between the same periods. Based on exponential growth formulae, the future prediction of the landuse and landcover change and its subsequent development was modeled between 2012 and 2032.These results could help in providing information for decision and planning purpose and also provide management strategies initiatives that are crucial for such expansion in the study area.

Adebayo Department of Crop, Soil and Pest Management, School of Agriculture and Agricultural Technology, Federal University of Technology Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria [email protected] Chromolaena odorata (L.) King & Robinson (Asteraceae), an invasive alien plant of terrestrial habitat in many tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world, was investigated in the South-West Ecological Zone of Nigeria. Investigations, including field observations on C. odorata and a survey of farmers’ knowledge and opinions of it and knowledge of its biological control, were conducted at the Teaching and Research Farm of the Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA) and at Ipogun, a farmers’ community at Ifedore Local Government Area of Ondo State, respectively. Field observations revealed that about 50% of undeveloped FUTA land was infested to varying degrees with C. odorata. More plant species were found on observed C. odorata–free land compared with land infested with C. odorata. The insect species collected on C. odorata were in the orders Orthoptera, Lepidoptera, Homoptera and Hymenoptera. Mottled, discoloured and distorted leaves characterized C. odorata infested with aphids. Results of the survey indicated there awareness of C. odorata by the farmers (70%) although they lack knowledge of biological control of the weed. Infestation of farms by C.

O. Microbiology Department, Federal University Of Technology, Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria. Abstract Study was carried out to determine the prevalence of human intestinal helminth parasite among school children in Ipogun, Ifedore Local Government Area of Ondo State. Standard parasitological procedures were used to examine the 350 stool samples collected. Overall prevalence of intestinal helminth parasites was 64.00% and the respective prevalence of parasites encountered were Ascaris lumbricoides (25.14%), Hookworm species (19.43%), Trichuris trichiura (16.00%) and Taenia spp (3.43%). Infection with Ascaris was 25.14%, followed by Hookworm species (19.43%), Trichuris trichiura (16.00%) and Taenia species (3.43%). All the different age cohorts were infected and the prevalence of Ascaris was 45.46% in pupils aged 5-8 years and 25.00% in pupils of 13 years old and above while in pupils of the same age groups prevalence of Trichuris ranged from 42.86% to 25.00%. Hookworm prevalence was 47.01% in pupils aged 9-12 years, Teania species was 66.67% among children in the age group 9- 12 years old. Males were more infected (72.60%) than females 53.75%. Parental occupation, types of toilet and source of water were respectively found to influence the prevalence of the intestinal helminth parasitic infection among the pupils.
