NEI Plus State Team Leader (Bauchi) (Co-Secretary) Bauchi State Education Accounts – Public Sector Subaccount -2013-2014 & 2014-2015 Report iv Foreword State Education Accounts (SEA) is a transparent framework for measuring education expenditure and comparing them to policy directions. The SEA III provides a snapshot by gathering information on all spending from public and donor sources and measures the ‘financial pulse’ of the education system answering four key questions: who is financing education (financing sources)?, how much do they spend (financing agents)?, how are funds distributed across different education providers, levels and activities?, and who benefits from or received the services (providers and uses)?. The State Education Account (SEA) was conducted in Kano, Zamfara, Sokoto and Bauchi. Luckily enough, Bauchi and Sokoto states have conducted the second round of SEA and now the third one has been conducted in Bauchi and Sokoto states, respectively. Honorable Commissioner Ministry of Education Bauchi State Bauchi State Education Accounts – Public Sector Subaccount -2013-2014 & 2014-2015 Report v Acknowledgements On behalf of the entire Bauchi State Working Group (SWG) of the State Education Accounts Three (BASEA III), I will like to extend our sincere appreciation to the principal facilitators, USAID and its Staff and Creative Associates International for their financial support and professional expertise that made the compilation of this report a reality. We would like to acknowledge the efforts of, The Initiative staff, especially Dr. Saheed Salawu, Musa Salami, Mustapha Ahmad and Sadiq Abubakar Ilelah, for facilitating this exercise. The Nigerian Technical Assistance Team (TAT) consisting of Prof. Olakunle Odumosu, Prof. Abdallah Uba Adamu, Dr. Adebayo Ajala and Abbah Wali Abdullahi have steered the SWG brilliantly. We would also like to acknowledge the technical assistance and expertise provided to the team by Dr. Deepika Chawla, an international consultant. It would also not have been possible to undertake or sustain the compilation of this report for three times now without the encouragement and support of Bauchi State Government, SUBEB, all the Ministries, Departments, Agencies, 20 Local Government Councils, including the nongovernmental organizations that are involved in educational expenditure in the State. The Staff of various Ministries, Departments and Agencies have contributed immensely in one way or the other in making this report possible. Those officers who constituted the SWG have actually demonstrated the zeal and commitment that was largely responsible for the success of this study. We also want to acknowledge the efforts of the Steering Committee headed by the Honourable Commissioner Ministry of Education who steered the SWG brilliantly and has given all the required policy support that made this study possible. Last, but not the least, is to solicit for the Approval of his Excellency, the Executive Governor, Barr. M.A. Abubakar, to sustain this study on yearly basis, and to extend this gesture to other Ministries like Ministry of Agriculture, Commerce, Health, etc. to have State Agricultural Accounts, State Health Accounts, Commerce Accounts, etc. Ahmad Isah Kobi Chairman SWG BASEA III Bauchi State Education Accounts – Public Sector Subaccount -2013-2014 & 2014-2015 Report vi Executive Summary The third State Education Accounts in Bauchi State were developed as a subaccount tracking the public sector expenditures for the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 school years. Developed by the Ministry of Education, Bauchi State, with assistance from the USAID funded Northern Education Initiative Plus project (The Initiative) this subaccount maps the flow of funds as well as estimates all expenditures for formal and non-formal education from pre-primary to tertiary levels in the public sector.1 This report provides a brief overview of the Education system in Nigeria in general, and in Bauchi State in particular; describes the State Education Accounts (SEA) methodology and the boundaries and classifications used for the implementation of the study; and presents the major findings as well as the conclusions and policy recommendations from this study. State Education Accounts (SEA), using the National Education Accounts methodology, are a transparent framework for measuring education expenditures and comparing them to policy directions. The SEA provide a snapshot by gathering information from public, private and donor sources, of all spending for a specific time period and measure the “financial pulse” of an education system by answering four key questions: Who is financing education (Financing Sources)? How much do they spend (Financing Agents)? How are funds distributed across different education providers, levels and activities? Who benefits from or receives the services (Providers and Uses)? Data are presented in standardized, user-friendly matrices that can be easily interpreted by policy makers and allow for comparisons of relevant indicators between states and internationally. This SEA subaccount in Bauchi State was organized and conducted by a State Working Group (SWG) established by the Bauchi State Ministry of Education involving 21 staff members of the State, and other stakeholders including one member of the National Association of Proprietors

[] SECTION ONE BACKGROUND Bauchi State project is located in the North-East of Nigerian. There are 20 local Govemment Ares in the State. The State shares boundaries with Plateau, Kano, Jigawa, Yobe, Borno, Taraba and Gombe States. The State lies in the Savannah region of Nigeria, with variation in ecological conditions with the southern and western parts being sudan or guinea Savannah, having a relatively higher rainfall, the northern part of the State is sahel Savannah with flat lands and fewer hills. Some major rivers traverse the State. These include the river Hadeja, Jama'are, Gongola and Dindima. Most of the endemic local government areas lies along these river systems. The State has two distinct seasons', dry and rain seasons. There are six months of rain, beginning in May and ending in October. The farming season is from May to December. Most of the onchocerciasis endemic communities are not accessible all year round; the dirt and laterite roads to these communities are usually not motor-able during the height of the rainy season. Even in dry season, where the roads are sandy, four-wheel drive vehicles may be required in some instances along with motorcycles and bicycles. The settlement pattern varies in different part of the State. Generally, there is a pattern of nuclear settlements, with surrounding farmlands.

    International Journal of Engineering and Modern Technology ISSN 2504-8848 Vol. 1 No.8 2015 www.iiardpub.org An Overview of Lignocellulose in Twenty (20) Local Government Areas of Bauchi State 1Mustapha D. Ibrahim and 2Ahmad Abdurrazzaq 1Department of Chemical Engineering, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi, Bauchi State, Nigeria 2Department of Chemical Engineering Technology, Federal Polytechnic Mubi, Mubi, Adamawa State, Nigeria 1E-mail: [email protected], 2E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT In the past few decades, there has been an increasing research interest in the value of lignocellulosic material. Lignocellulose biomass abundant holds remarkable high potentials that will go a long way in solving environmental, domestic and industrial problems if harnessed. The overview looked into only six (6) types of lignocellulose which comprised of sugar cane bagasse, corn stover, groundnut shell, sorghum residue, millet residue, and rice straw in Bauchi State. Research method adopted was by analysis of variance and percentile. The quantity of lignocelluloses studied i.e. Sugarcane bagasse, corn stover, groundnut shell, millet residue, sorghum residue and rice straw were found to be (936.7; 539,079.9; 144,352.0; 784,419.5; 905,370.6; and 73,335.5) tones/annum respectively. However, lignocellulose as a source of bioenergy in form of ethanol, the findings further revealed the estimated quantity of ethanol from sugarcane bagasse, corn stover, rice straw, sorghum, groundnut shell and millet to be at 142,462.7; 78,317,527.9; 9,339,055.9; 147,973,770.9; 18,022,347.2; and 62,322,129.3 liters/annum respectively. Keywords: lignocellulose; production capacity; energy; biomass; Bauchi INTRODUCTION Bauchi State; a state located between latitudes 9° 3´ and 12° 3´ north and longitudes 8° 50´ and 11° 0´ in the north-eastern part of Nigeria has a total land area of 49,119 km2 representing about 5.3% of the country’s total land mass and extents two distinct vegetation zones, namely the Sudan savannah and the Sahel savannah.

  • Lagos State Poctket Factfinder
    HISTORY Before the creation of the States in 1967, the identity of Lagos was restricted to the Lagos Island of Eko (Bini word for war camp). The first settlers in Eko were the Aworis, who were mostly hunters and fishermen. They had migrated from Ile-Ife by stages to the coast at Ebute- Metta. The Aworis were later reinforced by a band of Benin warriors and joined by other Yoruba elements who settled on the mainland for a while till the danger of an attack by the warring tribes plaguing Yorubaland drove them to seek the security of the nearest island, Iddo, from where they spread to Eko. By 1851 after the abolition of the slave trade, there was a great attraction to Lagos by the repatriates. First were the Saro, mainly freed Yoruba captives and their descendants who, having been set ashore in Sierra Leone, responded to the pull of their homeland, and returned in successive waves to Lagos. Having had the privilege of Western education and christianity, they made remarkable contributions to education and the rapid modernisation of Lagos. They were granted land to settle in the Olowogbowo and Breadfruit areas of the island. The Brazilian returnees, the Aguda, also started arriving in Lagos in the mid-19th century and brought with them the skills they had acquired in Brazil. Most of them were master-builders, carpenters and masons, and gave the distinct charaterisitics of Brazilian architecture to their residential buildings at Bamgbose and Campos Square areas which form a large proportion of architectural richness of the city.

  • DTM Nigeria Round XXI Baseline Dashboard
    DTM DTM Nigeria | Baseline Dashboard - Round XXI Nigeria IOM OIM February 2018 IOM manages the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) in Nigeria and other countries round the world to support humanitarian communi�es with data on displacement and mobility. This informa�on management product determines the status, loca�ons, and needs of people displaced by the ongoing conflict in Northeast Nigeria. As of 2 February 2018, the DTM has iden�fied 3,168,719 1,782,490 IDPs (339,037 households) across Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba, and Yobe States. This represents an IDPs and Retu rnees were increase of 4.5 per cent (79,810 individuals) from the previous DTM Round. The slight increase in the iden�fied number of IDPs covered by DTM Round XXI is a�ributable to the arrival of Nigerians from neighboring countries into situa�ons of secondary displacement, as well as communal clashes and military opera�ons.

  • Parochial Political Culture: the Bane of Nigeria Development Rosemary Anazodo (Ph.D) Department of Public Administration Nnamdi
    Review of Public Administration & Management Vo. 1 No. 2 Parochial Political Culture: The Bane of Nigeria Development Rosemary Anazodo (Ph.D) Department of Public Administration Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. E-mail:[email protected] Agbionu, Tina Uchenna Department of Business Administration Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Nig E-mail:[email protected] Ezenwile Uche Department of Public Administration Anambra State University, Uli Anambra State Abstract This paper examined the effect of parochial political culture on national development in Nigeria. It is imperative at this time more than any other in the history of Nigeria, a country at crossroad to vigorously address the challenges posed by the parochial political culture , without which political stability, political innovation, national development among others would be a mirage. For many decades Nigeria has been on a steady decline in regards to all indicators of national development. On this premise the paper intends to investigate how Nigeria’s political culture impedes her national development. Based on the assertions above, some objectives were formulated to guide the study. Theories of two republics and Prebendalism formed the basis of the study. Some findings were made and recommendations provided on the way forward . Keywords; Parochial, Political Culture, Development. Introduction Nigeria is sadly at the other side of political and economic development. Annual income per head is dismally low, economic and social infrastructures are underdeveloped and manufacturing base is weak. 1 Review of Public Administration & Management Vo. 1 No. 2 Nigeria is a rich country whose economy has been mismanaged over the years. The excellent investment opportunities have been affected by unstable political atmosphere and threats to security of life and property (Abimboye, 2010:18).

  • The Making of Sani Abacha There
    To the memory of Bashorun M.K.O Abiola (August 24, 1937 to July 7, 1998); and the numerous other Nigerians who died in the hands of the military authorities during the struggle to enthrone democracy in Nigeria. ‘The cause endures, the HOPE still lives, the dream shall never die…’ onderful: It is amazing how Nigerians hardly learn frWom history, how the history of our politics is that of oppor - tunism, and violations of the people’s sovereignty. After the exit of British colonialism, a new set of local imperi - alists in military uniform and civilian garb assumed power and have consistently proven to be worse than those they suc - ceeded. These new vetoists are not driven by any love of coun - try, but rather by the love of self, and the preservation of the narrow interests of the power-class that they represent. They do not see leadership as an opportunity to serve, but as an av - enue to loot the public treasury; they do not see politics as a platform for development, but as something to be captured by any means possible. One after the other, these hunters of fortune in public life have ended up as victims of their own ambitions; they are either eliminated by other forces also seeking power, or they run into a dead-end. In the face of this leadership deficit, it is the people of Nigeria that have suffered; it is society itself that pays the price for the imposition of deranged values on the public space; much ten - sion is created, the country is polarized, growth is truncated.
