  • Mangu: an Emerging Commercial Town.1
    IOSR Journal of Business and Management (IOSR-JBM) e-ISSN: 2278-487X, p-ISSN: 2319-7668. Volume 16, Issue 8. Ver. I (Aug. 2014), PP 01-06 www.iosrjournals.org Mangu: An emerging commercial town.1 Danazumi Sharwa Bukar Plateau State University Bokkos Abstract: This paper is the outcome of a local study of the two Mangus then a part of the old Pankshin division of Benue-Plateau State, Nigeria. The local study was a special school project embarked upon by final year students of the then Gindiri Teachers College2 of which the author was privileged to be a part of in 1973. The study was directed by our Geography teacher Mr.3 Jonah Madugu whose dedication and patience in directing the study is well appreciated. The school sponsored the trip to the study area from Gindiri under the leadership of Mr Madugu who took time to show us important things about the study such as the economic importance of the river valleys. The second acknowledgement will go to Mr. Bello4 who spared valuable time to direct us to the person who gave us the History of Mangu Asali. He also took us to some important land marks of the town. Machut5 Lere, a fellow student and resident of Mangu town, gave the writer very valuable insight into the nature of trading activities in the Mangu market. Mr. Elisha Mangwvat gave us very useful information on export trade in the Mangu market. Alhaji Muazu from Mangu cannot be forgotten for his talk on trade and the names of some people who practice it on a commercial scale e.g.

  • Spatial Inequalities in Infrastructural Development in Plateau State, Nigeria
    American International Journal of Contemporary Research Vol. 4, No. 7; July 2014 Spatial Inequalities in Infrastructural Development in Plateau State, Nigeria Adefila, J. O. PhD Senior Lecturer (Corresponding Author Department of Geography Ahmadu Bello University Zaria Nigeria Bulus, J. S. Department of Geography Ahmadu Bello University Zaria Nigeria Abstract The development processes often produce spatial contrast among regions such that some areas may appear to have more than their average share of the same facility and this is evident in developing countries where the urban centres usually have concentration of essential goods and services at the expense of their rural counterparts. The objective of the study is to examine the level of spatial dimension of inequalities in infrastructural development in Plateau State with a view to making a comparative analysis of the pattern of development. The primary data were collected through the administration of structured questionnaire among one thousand and twenty (1,020) randomly sampled population in the seventeen local government areas of Plateau State. Also, secondary data were generated from relevant ministries and agencies to authenticate data from questionnaire survey in Plateau State. The study employed standardized score (Z-score) analytical technique was for the analysis of data. The result revealed considerable inter-local government disparities in overall levels of infrastructural development in the study area. Among the upper third category that are most privileged areas include Jos Central (4.85), Jos North (4.49), Mangu (4.14), Shendam (2.59 and Pankshin (2.10). The middle third areas include Mikang (0.40), Quan ‘an Pam (0.05), Kanem (-0.16), Langtang South (-0.72) and Wase (-0.94).

  • The Effects of Migration Patterns on the Language Ecology of Quan–Pan and Mikang Local Government Areas of Plateau State, Nigeria
    The Effects of Migration Patterns on the Language Ecology of Quan–Pan and Mikang Local Government Areas of Plateau State, Nigeria. Philemon Victor Gomwalk, PhD, Department of Linguistics and Nigerian Languages, University of Jos, Jos, Nigeria. Abstract This paper outlines the relationship between oral traditions of migration in Quan-Pan and Mikang Local Government Areas of the Jos-Plateau region of Nigeria. With the help of local informants, oral traditional accounts of pre-colonial population movements were elicited, scrutinized, and synthesized, placing these side by side with the accounts of present-day socio-linguistic situation of population settlements and language usage in these two LGAs. Particular attention was given to a close survey and outlining of the current linguistic geography of the two areas vis-a-vis past traditional accounts of settlement history. Our survey revealed a few cases whereby speech varieties separated by difficult topography are found to share considerable measure of asymmetrical intelligibility. The survey also revealed the necessity to differentiate between intelligibility of two types, namely (a) intra-Local Government Area intelligibility, and (b) inter-Local Government Area intelligibility. Medium -to- high measures of bi-lateral intelligibility and comprehension were established between some minor languages within the borders of both Local Government Areas, irrespective of the particular native tongues used within respective home environments. Goemai and Hausa were reported and observed to be common languages of wider communication between groups of speakers without a first language in common, especially within the Local Government Area headquarters and other important commercial centers. Key Terms: Oral Traditions; Migration Patterns; Dialect Variants; Language Intelligibility; Intercommunal Relations.

  • Case Study of Shendam Urban Area, Plateau State
    Journal of Environment and Earth Science www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-3216 (Paper) ISSN 2225-0948 (Online) Vol.7, No.7, 2017 The Causality of Deforestation in North-Central Nigeria: Case Study of Shendam Urban Area, Plateau State Buba Y. Alfred 1 Prof. Ayuba K. Haruna 2 Dr. Jibrin Sule 1 Birmah M. Nyadar 1 Nden Timnan 1 1.Nigerian Building and Road Research Institute, Abuja, 900001, Nigeria 2.Department of Geography (ERM), Nasarawa State University Keffi, Nigeria Abstract Deforestation in Africa is a major contributor to global warming, erosion, annual flooding and food shortage in Africa. In Africa, 90 percent of the population uses wood for fuel. Forests provide many products/benefits to the people but these forest resources are depleted continuously without replacement. Shendam District is geographically located between latitude 8º53 ′43.88 ″N and longitude 9º27 ′13.41 ″S in Shendam Local Government Area (L.G.A) of Plateau State, Nigeria. The research was a case study undertaken to assess the causalities of deforestation and questionnaires were administered in ward A, ward B and Pangwasa ward of Shendam District. Anthropogenic activities is the cause of forest lost in the study area and the major effects outlined in the study area are biodiversity loss, high temperature, soil erosion, migration and flooding. The activities causing damage to roads, culverts and bridges in Shendam District and its environs. Reducing the rates of deforestation and forest regeneration is among the solution to deforestation in Shendam district and its environs. Better management practices requires the need for Public Sensitization on the effects of deforestation, Public Private Partnership (PPP) in tree planting, Rural –Urban Afforestation Programme and the policy of cut- one-tree and plant-five trees instead, should be enforced in Shendam District.

    IJSAR, Vol. 1(1), January 2016 Obadiah et al Status of Climate Change Adaptation of Rice and Yam Farmers in Shendam LGA, Plateau State F. V. Obadiah, A. J. Enejoh, S. O. Kojah & I. J. Dada Department of Agricultural Extension & Management Federal College of Animal Health & Production Technology National Veterinary Research Institute PMB 0, Vom, Plateau State, Nigeria Corresponding author: [email protected] Tel: +234(0)7039531736 Abstract Studies (e.g. Lobell et al., 2008) have been conducted on prioritizing climate change adaptation needs for food security in 2030 and arrived at probabilistic projections of production impacts from climate change (expressed as a percentage of 1998 to 2002 average yields) had found yam and rice as important crops within West Africa being a food-insecure region hence, the reason for this study. One Hundred and Twenty questionnaires were purposively distributed to yam and rice farmers in Shendam LGA, Plateau State, being a major producer of the two crops in question. The questionnaire elicited information on socioeconomic characteristics, production capacities and years of farming experience, perceived climate change effects and adaptation strategies and other cultural practices in farming. Collated results were computed using descriptive statistics and Pearson Chi-Square to test for independence between the various variables on SPSS (17.0) at 5% level of significance. In each case, a null hypothesis was adopted as a basis for decision- making. Results showed that on the one hand, climate change perception and cultural practices are independent of socioeconomic characteristics while on the other hand, cultural practices are dependent on climate change. This made possible the conclusion that while the study population may have a superficial knowledge about climate change, adaptation is still largely subconscious, lacking in the root causes of the problem hence no conscious effort made at mitigation measure.
