As part of the preparations for the 2015 General Elections, the Commission has demonstrated its commitment to informing stakeholders and the general public through a range of activities, and engagements with different strata of society with the aim of fostering confidence and participation in the continuing effort to build an enduring democratic culture. To increase eligible citizens’ participation in exercising their franchise, polling units within, or very close to the premises of politicians, traditional rulers, religious bodies, state and local authorities, private properties, etc., as well as in open spaces, are relocated to public buildings, preferably public schools. Thus, the publication of the 2015 Polling Unit Directory (updated January 2015) by the Commission is another step towards providing valid information to the stakeholders and the public alike. The Directory lists the Local Government Areas (LGAs) of each State or Area Councils (ACs) of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Registration Areas (RAs) of States or Wards of the FCT, as well as polling units contained therein. This Directory wiII not only help to address the Polling Unit information needs of political parties, developmental partners, Civil Society Organizations, Ministries, Departments, Agencies, the Press and other Stakeholders, but also serve as a reference document for research and information. This publication is also designed to help electoral officials irrespective of where they are deployed to effectively perform their duties. I hope that the Directory will also help to influence and educate election officials in the administration of elections in the country. Prof. Attahiru M. Jega, OFR Chairman Independent National Electoral Commission Federal Republic of Nigeria INEC Nigeria Directory of Polling Units Revised January 2015 Page iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENT In revising the Directory of Polling Units, cognizance has been taken of the relocation of existing polling units from unsuitable and unapproved locations. The decision by the Commission was taken in its efforts to further ensure transparency in the electoral process and provide a level playing field for free and fair elections that are credible and acceptable to all. The Delimitation Division of the Electoral Operations Department has worked very hard, together with the Electoral Operations Departments of each of the thirty-six (36) States and the Federal Capital Territory, to significantly improve the accuracy of this Directory. The Commission would like to express its profound gratitude to the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) as well as the National Elections Commission (NEC) of Liberia for providing technical assistance, through the provision of a specialist in Geographic Information System (GIS) and Data Management, Mr. Archie A.A. Delaney, Sr., who played a major role in the successful completion of this project. The fact that the Directory was generated from the Delimitation Database being constructed is very significant and signals a paradigm shift in the way the Commission undertakes its major activities. Finally, the support of the Commission, especially the Chairman, Prof. Attahiru M. Jega, OFR, as well as the Members of the Electoral Operations and Logistics Committee (EOLC), indeed all other National Commissioners, is highly appreciated. Engr. Dr. Nuru A.

  • Informal Microfinance and Economic Activities of Rural Dwellers in Kwara South Senatorial District of Nigeria
    International Journal of Business and Social Science Vol. 2 No. 15; August 2011 INFORMAL MICROFINANCE AND ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES OF RURAL DWELLERS IN KWARA SOUTH SENATORIAL DISTRICT OF NIGERIA IJAIYA, Muftau Adeniyi Department of Accounting and Finance University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria E-mail : [email protected], Phone: +2348036973561 Abstract Rural areas, like urban areas have increasing demand for credit because such credit reduces the impact of seasonality on incomes. However, formal financial institutions have maintained low presence in the rural areas. This has affected the rural dwellers’ access to deposit savings and credits that can improve their economic activities. This study examined the influence of informal microfinance on economic activities of rural dwellers in the selected rural areas of Kwara South Senatorial District. Using a multiple regression analysis, six hundred (600) questionnaire was administered on members of informal microfinance institution in the study area, the study found that fund provided as credit facilities for transaction purposes, funds for housing and combating diseases have significant influence on the economic activities of the rural areas. The study recommends group savings and group lending in order to increase savings and credits to the rural dwellers. Government should also provide improved infrastructural facilities that would enable rural dwellers have more access to their economic activities Key Words: Microfinance, Informal, Economic Activities, Rural, Kwara 1.0 Introduction Africa‟s development challenges go deeper than low income, falling trade shares, low savings and slow growth. They also include inequality and uneven access to productive resources, social exclusion and insecurity especially among the women (Pitamber, 2003). However, more specific concern is raised in Nigeria due to rural-urban disparities in income distribution, access to education and health care services, and prevalence of ethnic or cross-boundary conflicts.

Dr. I.P. Ifabiyi [email protected] Department of Geography and Environmental Management Faculty of Business and Social Science P.M.B 1515, University Of Ilorin, Ilorin. Kwara State, Nigeria. Mr. Kekere, A.A [email protected] Department of Art and Social Science, Unilorin Secondary School, University Of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria. Abstract The incessant failure of road network in Nigeria has generated a lot of concern by road users and government. Apart from lives and properties that are lost annually to road crashes, road rehabilitation across the country has become a financial burden to the federal government. Several factors have been identified to be responsible to road failure in Nigeria; they include geological, geomorphological, road usage, bad construction and wrong approach to maintenance. Hence, this paper examines some of the factors responsible for road failure along Ilorin-Ajase Ipo road, Kwara State Nigeria. Soil samples were collected from Five (5) portions of the road that are badly affected by road failure. These portions include: Agricultural and Rural Management Training Institute (ARMTI) 17+800km, Kabba Owode 18+00Km, Idofian 23+700Km, Koko 29+700Km and Omupo 35+700Km axis. The soil samples collected were analyzed four engineering properties: particle size distribution (PSD),atterberg limit, compaction test California Bearing Ratio (CBR).

    Journal of American Science, 3(2), 2007, Bello and Makinde, Delineation Of The Aquifer In The South- Western Part Of The Nupe Basin, Kwara State, Nigeria Delineation of the Aquifer in the South-Western Part of the Nupe Basin, Kwara State, Nigeria 1.Bello, Abdulmajeed A, 2.Makinde, Victor 1. Department of Physics, Institute of Basic and Applied Science, Kwara State Polytechnic Ilorin. 2. Department of Physics, University of Agriculture, PMB 2240, Abeokuta, [email protected] 1All correspondence should be directed to 2 above Abstract: A geophysical study using the Vertical Electrical Soundings (VES) techniques has been used to investigate the sub-surface layering in the southwestern part of the Niger Basin in order to determine the nature, characteristics and spatial extent of the components of the aquifer underlying the region. The results of the interpreted VES data suggest that the layering in the region range from three to five layers. The geologic sections derived from the analyzed geoelectric section suggest that the alluvial deposits of sand, sandy clay, medium to coarse sandstones, as well as the weathered and fractured basement constitute the aquifer found in this sedimentary region. Furthermore the results of the interpretation of the VES data indicate that the thickness values of the aquifer vary from 6.01 m to 58.60 m. The geoelectric section generated also suggest that the resistivity values of the aquifer components range from 4.2 Ω-m to 106.7 Ω- m for the alluvial deposits; 33.7 Ω-m to 108.6 Ω-m (weathered basement); and 345.7 Ω-m to 564.0 Ω-m for the fractured basement rocks.

  • Implications of Community Infrastructure Provision in the Development of Medium-Sized Towns in Kwara State Nigeria Adedayo, A
    Ethiopian Journal of Environmental Studies and Management EJESM Vol. 5 no.4 (Suppl.2) 2012 IMPLICATIONS OF COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE PROVISION IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MEDIUM-SIZED TOWNS IN KWARA STATE NIGERIA ADEDAYO, A. and *AFOLAYAN, G.P. http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/ejesm.v5i4.S23 Received 20th September 2012; accepted 1st November 2012 Abstract Infrastructure has been recognized as the crux of human settlement development. This paper therefore examines the implications of community provision of infrastructure in the development of medium – sized towns in Nigeria. Medium-sized towns are settlements with population size of between 5,000 and 20,000. Data were collected from both primary and secondary sources. The findings generally revealed a high level of community participation in the provision of such infrastructure as schools, electricity, roads, water, market stalls, health facilities, and town halls. However, variations exist among the medium – sized towns in the type and number of infrastructure provided by community action. Kendall’s Coefficient Concordance (W) used to test the degree of variations in ranks revealed a significant agreement in the ranking. Hierarchical Cluster Analysis used to classify the medium – sized towns based on infrastructure provision produced three classes. The general implication of this study is that, infrastructure provision by community action can lead to a balanced regional development as other smaller towns around the study emulate the action. Recognizing the role of small – sized towns in a balanced regional development process, government should encourage the people through the provision of financial support, machineries and technical know-how in the provision of infrastructure. This paper recommends the integration of community development plans with those of the local government towards achieving even development.

  • Kwara Annual School Census Report 2013
    ANNUAL SCHOOL CENSUS REPORT 2013-2014 State Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development Kwara State School Census Report 2013-2014 Preface The Y2013/2014 Annual School Census exercise began with sensitization meetings with Public Schools Education Managers and Private Schools Proprietors, which was followed by the update of school list (with support from NGOs), clustering of schools and selection of supervisors/enumerators. The State EMIS Committee then met to deliberate on the modality for the conduct of the exercise. This was followed by the training of supervisors and enumerators, and distribution of questionnaires with the technical and financial support by ESSPIN. The success of the previous census was manifest in its wide acceptance and use in planning, budgeting, monitoring/evaluation within the MDAs and as source of reference by other users. This year exercise which was conducted between 24th February to 7th March began with data collection that was monitored by D/PRSs across the MDAs and ESSPIN Team. Completed forms were returned and screened for face and content validity. Forms with errors or incomplete data were returned for corrections. The data entry officers were trained in four LGA EMIS nodes, spread across the State, where data entry took place. Data cleansing and analysis took place at the State central EMIS in the State Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development. There was a great improvement in data quality and slight improvement in private schools participation as a result of the sensitization engagement with the stakeholders. The LGEA EMIS nodes were strengthened and grassroots commitment enhanced with the data entry that took place at the four centres.

  • Analysis of Condition of Rural Road Transport in Kwara State, Nigeria
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by European Scientific Journal (European Scientific Institute) European Scientific Journal February 2014 edition vol.10, No.5 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 ANALYSIS OF CONDITION OF RURAL ROAD TRANSPORT IN KWARA STATE, NIGERIA Abdulkadir Bolaji Usman Department of Geography and Environmental Management, University of Ilorin, Nigeria Abstract Despite the crucial role transportation plays in the socio-economic development of every society most developing countries are characterized by inadequate transport. This study examines the road transport situation in rural areas of Kwara State, Nigeria. The work adopted an integrated approach whereby rural road transport is viewed as a whole complex of the available roads, transport services and Intermediate Means of Transport (IMT). A total of 993 respondents were surveyed across the three senatorial districts of the state. The data collected were analysed using frequency counts, percentages, mean ranking and histograms. Four topological measures were also used to determine the road network connectivity in the sampled LGAs. Overall, road network connectivity, level of road accessibility and transport services are generally poor and inadequate in rural areas of the state. However, spatial variations were found to exist in the area. Kaiama LGA was found to have the least level of road accessibility, road network connectivity and has the poorest transport services among the sampled LGAs. This implies that there is a greater restriction on mobility with attendant negative effects on the economy and general wellbeing of the people in the area. Transportation problems faced by rural residents in the area include that of poor road surface conditions, high cost of transport, overloading and incessant highway robberies.

    International Journal of Language and Linguistics Vol. 5, No. 1, March 2018 Language against Ethnicity: The Conflicting Linguistic and Ethnic Identities of the Fulani People of Ilorin Yeseera Omonike Oloso Kwara State University, Malete Nigeria Language against ethnicity the conflicting linguistic and ethnic identities of the Fulani people of Ilorin Ilorin’s status as a border community straddling Nigeria’s Northern and South-western regions where different languages and ethnicities co-exist makes identity construction complex. Existing literature largely posit an inseparable link between language and ethnic identity implying that language loss constitutes identity loss. This study investigates the relationship between linguistic and ethnic identities among the Fulani people of Ilorin with a view to evaluating the link. Revised Social and Ethnolinguistic Identity Theory was adopted. Structured interviews were conducted with 40 respondents while participant observation was employed. Linguistic identity was established in favour of the Yoruba Language contrariwise for the Yoruba ethnic identity. The majority of respondents (95.0%) identified Yoruba as their first language while respondents’ construction of their ethnic identities was largely influenced by their ancestral ethnicity. Seventy-five percent claimed sole Fulani ethnic identity; 5.0% claimed hybrid identity while 20.0% have become ethnic converts who claim either a civic or Yoruba identity. Keywords: Language shift, Allegiance, Ethnic converts, Revised ELIT. 1 Introduction This article examines the mosaic patterns of language and identity construction among the Fulani people of Ilorin.
