J.G.4 and Ardo, M.U.4 1. Department of Animal Production, Adamawa State University, Mubi. 2. Department of Agricultural Economics and Extension, Adamawa State University, Mubi. 3. Department of History, Adamawa State University, Mubi. 4. Department of Agricultural Education, College of Education, Hong. Abstract: This study was conducted to examine the impact of Boko Haram insurgence on livestock production in Mubi region of Adamawa State, Nigeria. Four local government areas (Mubi north, Mubi south, Madagali and Michika) were purposely selected for this study. Thirty (30) livestock farmers were randomly selected from each of the local government area making a total of one hundred and twenty (120) respondents. One hundred and twenty (120) structured questionnaires were administered to gather information from the farmers through an interview schedule. Majority of the livestock farmers in Mubi south (56.67%) Mubi north (63.33%), Madagali (53.33%) and Michika (80%) were males. Most of the respondents had secondary school certificates (40 to 50%) and Diploma certificates (23.33 to 36.70%). Greater proportion of the livestock farmers had family size of 5 to 10 people per family. Family labour accounted the highest (43.33 to 60%) types of labour used in managing the animals. Sizable population (53.33 to 63.33%) of the livestock farmers kept domestic animals as source of income. Livestock populations were observed to have been drastically reduced as a result of Boko Haram attacks.

A UNHCR protection partner colleague conducts a rapid protection assessment with internally displaced people in Bama, Borno State. © UNHCR/Daniel Bisu www.unhcr.or g 1 NORTH-EAST NIGERIA OPERATIONAL UPDATE JANUARY 2021 Operational Highlights ■ The security situation in the North-East remains unpredictable. The operational area continues to be impacted by the ongoing violent conflict, terrorism, and criminal activities, which have resulted in the displacement, killing and abduction of civilians as well as the destruction of properties and critical infrastructure. The second wave of COVID-19 also continues to exacerbate the already worsening situation. A total of 43 security incidents perpetrated by NSAG in the BAY States comprised of attacks on civilians, improvised explosive devices, and attacks on security forces. ■ In Borno State, members of the non-State armed groups (NSAGs) continued their attacks on both civilian and military targets, attempted to overrun of villages and towns and mounted illegal vehicle checkpoints for the purpose of abduction, looting and robbery. The main supply routes Maiduguri- Gubio, Maiduguri-Mafa and Mungono-Ngala in the Northern axis were most severely hit. The situation along the Maiduguri-Damaturu road, a main supply route, worsened further in January, forcing the reclassification of the route from the hitherto “Restricted” to “No go” for humanitarian staff and cargo.

  • Site Suitability for Yam, Rice and Cotton Production in Adamawa State of Nigeria: a Geographic Information System (Gis) Approach
    FUTY Journal of the Environment, Vol. 4, No. 1, 2009 45 © School of Environmental Sciences, Federal University of Technology, Yola-Nigeria. ISSN 1597-8826 © School of Environmental Sciences, Federal University of Technology, Yola-Nigeria. ISSN 1597-8826 SITE SUITABILITY FOR YAM, RICE AND COTTON PRODUCTION IN ADAMAWA STATE OF NIGERIA: A GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS) APPROACH. M. Ikusemoran and T. Hajjatu Department of Geography, Adamawa State University, Mubi, Nigeria. ABSTRACT This paper demonstrated the potentials of GIS technique for mapping and delineating the suitable sites for Yam, Rice and Cotton production in Adamawa State. Site suitability mapping is necessary to create data bank and to guide the farmers in decision making on sites for crop production in the state. The use of GIS for this decision making introduces reliability and saves time with a consequent increase in agricultural productivity. The six criteria that were used for the study include soil, topography, vegetation, temperature, annual rainfall and lengths of rainy season. A combination of Ilwis 3.0 Academics, Arcview GIS 3.0 and Idrisi 32 were used for data capture and analysis. Using Boolean operations on the six criteria, and based on the requirements for each crop, all the areas that met the six conditions were considered “most suitable”. The areas with five conditions were assigned “suitable”, while the areas with four and/or three criteria were considered “just suitable”. The areas that were considered unsuitable are those areas that met no condition or the areas that met only one or two conditions. The study revealed that yam production in the state is “most suitable” in only Ganye Jada and Toungo Local Government Areas (LGA) in the Southern part of the state, covering only 5.05% of the state land mass.
