  • X-Raying the Impact of Grazers/Cultivators’ Conflict on the Management of Secondary Schools in Benue State
    X-RAYING THE IMPACT OF GRAZERS/CULTIVATORS’ CONFLICT ON THE MANAGEMENT OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN BENUE STATE Prof. Adejo Okwori Department of Educational Foundations, Benue State University, Makurdi Gbough, Samuel Aondowase Department of Educational Foundations, Benue State University, Makurdi Abstract This study investigated impact of grazers/cultivators’ conflict on the management of secondary schools in Benue state, Nigeria. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study comprised 5110 teachers in 297 grant-aided secondary schools in Benue State. A sample of 511 teachers was used for the study. The selection was done using a simple random sampling technique. A 10-item structured four-point rating scale questionnaire titled “Grazers/Cultivators Conflict Questionnaire (GCCQ)” was used for data collection. The instrument was validated by two experts, one in Educational Management from Benue State University, Makurdi and a second expert in Measurement and Evaluation from Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi. The reliability of the instrument yielded a coefficient of 0.82 which indicated that the instrument was reliable for usage. Descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions. The hypotheses were tested using chi-square (χ2) test of goodness of fit at 0.05 level of significance. The findings indicated that grazers/cultivators conflict has significant impact on school facilities and the lives of teachers and students in secondary schools in Benue State, Nigeria. It was recommended among others that Government at all levels should find a way of encouraging mass education among the grazers and cultivators.

  • Infrastructural, Institutional and Human Capacity Requirements for the E-Wallet System of Input Distribution in Okpokwu Local Government Area, Benue State, Nigeria
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 24, Issue 3, Ser. 8 (March. 2019) 29-34 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Infrastructural, Institutional and Human Capacity Requirements for the E-Wallet System of Input Distribution in Okpokwu Local Government Area, Benue State, Nigeria 1 1 Naswem, A.A. , Iornenge, G.M and Adeyi, E 1(Department of Agricultural Extension and Communication, Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi, Benue State, Nigeria) Abstract: The distribution of subsidized inputs to farmers in Nigeria has been an enduring problematic over the years. Various policy experiments in this regard have ended up by-passing the intended beneficiaries and distorting the market. Under the Growth Enhancement Support Scheme (GESS), the e-wallet system was introduced to ensure that subsidized inputs are delivered to farmers. Since it is an ICT-based intervention, its impact is dependent upon the availability of certain infrastructural, institutional and human capacity elements. The study aimed at assessing the availability of these elements in a typical Nigerian farming community. The study utilized a cross- sectional survey design with a structured questionnaire administered to a sample of 90 respondents. The results showed that access to steady electricity was low at 7.8%. Ownership of handsets was very high at 92.2%, but only 24.4% had access to good GSM network signals; 67.8% of the respondents had to travel for more than 3km to input collection centres. On the whole, only 41.1 were able

Data was collected on the disease, Environmental Conditions Favouring the Growth of Blackfly, Blackfly species, Physicochemical Parameters and Density of Simuliids in rivers in the study area. The results of the study showed that both physicochemical and ecological parameters constitute the major environmental conditions in the area and they influenced the density of simuliids. For methodology, Aquatic stages of simulium were sampled covering 5 kindred areas of study area. Water samples were collected from the 5 rivers and analysed. Questionnaires were distributed in the 5 kindred areas to acquire relevant information about the breading sites. The study concluded that the dominance of Simulium damnosum complex, in the study area presents potential risk for the area. Keywords – Amire - Ukiriki river basin, Blackfly, Disease, Environmental Conditions, Onchocerciasis. 1. INTRODUCTION Onchocerciasis ranks as one of the most formidable infectious disease of the world, occurring mostly in savannah and rain forest area of Africa. It is also known as “river blindness” the parasitic disease is caused by filarial worm oncherca volvulus and transmitted by blood sucking blackflies of genus simulium which breed in rapidly flowing rivers.
