The 8 villages selected for the HEA baseline assessment were located in 4 LGAs: Auyo, Kafin Hausa, Guri and Kiri Kasamma. 1 As its name suggests, the zone is primarily agricultural, supporting a combination of wet season upland farming with dry season fadama (i.e., flood Background and Methodology retreat) cropping as well as irrigation.

  • Rural Non-Farm Income and Inequality in Nigeria
    2. BACKGROUND INFORMATION, DATA AND SURVEY AREA The utilized data were collected from five different villages surveyed in rural Northern Nigeria between 2004 and 2005. These villages are situated within the Hadejia-Nguru floodplain wetlands of Jigawa state in Northern Nigeria. Data were collected from 200 households selected using a multi-stage stratified random sampling approach. The first sampling stratum was selection of the dry savanna region of northern Nigeria, which comprises six states: Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara, Kano, Kaduna and Jigawa. The second stratum was the selection of Jigawa state. Two important elements informed this choice. First, Jigawa state, which was carved out of Kano state in August 1991, has the highest rural population in Nigeria; about 93 percent of the state’s population dwells in rural areas3. Second, agriculture is the dominant sector of the state’s economy, providing employment for over 90 percent of the active labor force. For effective grassroots coverage of the various agricultural activities in Jigawa state, the Jigawa Agricultural and Rural Development (JARDA) is divided into four operational zones that are headquartered in the cities of Birni Kudu, Gumel, Hadejia and Kazaure. Hadejia was selected for this study, forming the third stratum of sampling. Within the Hadejia emirate, there are eight Local Government Areas (LGAs): Auyo, Birniwa, Hadejia, Kaffin-Hausa, Mallam Madori, Kaugama, Kirikasamma and Guri. Kirikasamma LGA was selected for this study, representing the fourth sampling stratum. Kirikassama LGA was specifically chosen because of the area’s intensive economic development and correspondingly higher human population compared to many other parts of Nigeria. In the fifth stratum of sampling, five villages were selected from Kirikassama LGA: Jiyan, Likori, Matarar Galadima, Turabu and Madachi.

Data collection were based on direct household survey of dietary intake from 266 households using structured questionnaire and supplementary secondary data on aggregate food production and population dynamic parameters were collected from 2001 to 2017 and analysed using food security index and double logarithmic regression model. Empirical results show the dominance of male headed households (93%) with average age of 45 years and household size of 12 members. Result of the construct of household food security index shows that 58% of the households were food insecure; subsisting on 1,667kcal/day/person as against the food security threshold of 2,730. The estimates from regression analysis show that population growth and birthrates increase significantly and consistently the likelihood of food insecurity while death rate and life expectancy exert positive and significant influence on food security.
