Bauchi state is located in the north east of Nigeria. Kano and Jigawa Kaduna to the states bounded it to the north, to the east Gombe and Yobe states, west and Taraba and Plateau to the south. It has a population of 2,826,444 based on the 1991 census and is made up, of 20 LGAs. Some major rivers transverse the state, and these are River Hadeja, Jama'are, Gongola and Dindima. Most of the Oncho endemic LGAs lie along these rivers. There are 13 CDTI LGAs with an endemic population of 609,911 out of which 517,28g are eligible persons. Mass distribution with Ivermectin started in the state in 1991 with the assistance of LINICEF. Proposal for the implementation of CDTI in the state was approved in December, 1999. Funds were received in March, 2000 and the financial cycle was revised to start in March 2000 to February 2001. Even though the second financial year was supposed to start in March 2001, funds were not received until September,2001. Currently the 13 hyper/lVleso LGAs implementing CDTI are Alkaleri, Ningi, Kirfi, Warji, Dass, T/Balewa, Datazo, Shira, Toro, Zaki, Gamawa, Itas/Gadau and Jama'are. Treatment started with 140 communities in 1991. In 1999 when CDTI was introduced the number of communities undergoing treatment rose to 633.

    Proof of Influence Evaluation of the Nigeria Evidence‐Based Health System Initiative (NEHSI)

    Proof of Influence Evaluation of the Nigeria Evidence‐based Health System Initiative (NEHSI) Commissioned by the Evaluation Sub-Committee of the Project Advisory Committee and the Governance for Equity in Health Programme, The International Development Research Centre, Canada. Report written by the Evaluation Technical Advisory Committee (Muhammed M Lecky (IDRC-NEHSI Senior Advisor), Sarah BJ Macfarlane (Independent Consultant), Ricardo Wilson-Grau (Independent Consultant)) July 15th 2014 Executive Summary Between 2008 and 2014, the Government of Nigeria implemented the Nigeria Evidence‐based Health System Initiative (NEHSI), with support from Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada (DFATD). NEHSI undertook activities to increase the generation and use of evidence for decision-making in Bauchi and Cross River states with the goal of strengthening the health care system to deliver effective, efficient and equitable primary health care (PHC). In 2012, the Evaluation Sub-Committee of NEHSI’s Project Advisory Committee commissioned this evaluation to explore NEHSI’s ‘proof of influence’ by examining its outcomes to answer two questions: Evaluation question 1: To what extent and how has NEHSI influenced the evidence-based planning and decision-making (through changes in knowledge use, capacity, habit, and governance processes) in the primary health care system in particular and in the health system in general at the individual, community, and institutional level (federal, Bauchi State, Cross River State, and local government areas (LGA))? Evaluation question 2: Sustainabilty: To what extent do the NEHSI outcomes achieved to date a) reinforce each other, and b) embody the principles of evidence-based planning and decision-making in the Nigerian primary health care system? The evaluation team, which was advised by IDRC and the Evaluation Sub-Committee, comprised two independent consultants and one IDRC-NEHSI Senior Advisor.

[] 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.

    Inventory of Existing Rural Water Supply Sources Using Model Nigerian Communities Vis a Vis Household Access to Improved Water

    IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) e-ISSN: 2278-1684,p-ISSN: 2320-334X, Volume 11, Issue 4 Ver. VII (Jul- Aug. 2014), PP 16-23 www.iosrjournals.org Inventory Of Existing Rural Water Supply Sources Using Model Nigerian Communities Vis a Vis Household Access to Improved Water NDUBUBA, Olufunmilayo I. Civil Engineering Dept. Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi, Nigeria Abstract: A household is considered to have access to basic services required by a family unit in Nigeria if the household has water supply and sanitation facilities, which are used appropriately at all times. A comprehensive inventory of all water sources was conducted in 12 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of four States of Bauchi, Benue, Jigawa and Katsina States between 2011 and 2012; the data was used to relate access to basic services of the people to the population living within the communities studied. It was found that Katsina State had the largest number of solar powered water supply systems (40.3% of all motorized water sources in the State) followed by Bauchi with 36.4%. The most common improved rural water source in the LGAs was bore-holes with hand-pumps (82.28%). Functionality was also monitored. For hand-pumps, there was a relationship between community ownership and functionality (Dass-Bauchi 77.17%; Warji-Bauchi 75.15%; Oju-Benue 82.09%). Population data on each LGA used to analyse the percentage number of household using the improved water sources showed that all the four LGAs still fall short of the basic access of 30 litres per capita per day within 250 metres radius of the water source.

    Reports on Inter-Religious Violence in Nigeria, Particularly in the South (Ibadan Etc )

    Reports on Inter-religious violence in Nigeria, particularly in the South (Ibadan etc ) In a section titled Societal Abuses and Discrimination (Section III.) the US Department of State religious freedom report for Nigeria states: Tension between Christians and Muslims remained acute in some areas, and conflicts of a seemingly socioeconomic or political nature often divided people along religious lines. Events, particularly of a religious tenor, occurring in other regions of the country or parts of the world, heightened tensions between religious groups. Religious differences often exacerbated ethnic differences. Competition for scarce resources, in concert with unequal and discriminatory employment practices, provoked violence between individuals of different religious or ethnic communities. Religion was also often a catalyst for hostility, used by politicians and others to foment discord. (US Department of State (Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor) (19 September 2008) Nigeria International Religious Freedom Report) The annual report published by the US Commission on International Religious Freedom refers to religious violence in Nigeria as follows: Since 1999, more than 10,000 Nigerians have been killed in sectarian and communal attacks and reprisals between Muslims and Christians. The most serious of these clashes occurred in Kaduna state (February and May 2000 and November 2002); Jos, Plateau state (September 2001); Kano state and Yelwa, Plateau state (February-May 2004); and in northern and southeastern Nigeria, in the wake of the controversy over depictions of the Prophet Muhammad in the Danish press in February 2006 (see below). Ethnic and religious violence continued throughout the past year, although the number of deaths resulting from the violence decreased compared to previous years.

    Landfill Site Selection for Solid Waste Management in Karu Lga, Nasarawa State, Nigeria

    International Journal of Trend in Research and Development, Volume 3(6), ISSN: 2394-9333 www.ijtrd.com Landfill Site Selection for Solid Waste Management in Karu Lga, Nasarawa State, Nigeria Rakiat Ladi Haruna, Alaga T.A, Gajere E.N, Ukor Chioma and Amos S.I Cooperative Information Network (COPINE), NASRDA, National Centre For Remote Sensing (NCRA), Jos., Obafemi Awolowo University, Oau Campus, Ile- Ife, Nigeria Abstract: Solid waste disposal is a crucial problem in the urban and rural areas because most solid wastes are not dumped in the suitable areas. Karu LGA has the challenge of solid waste dumping site identification. The specific objectives of this study were to: map and identify the existing landfill site and dump sites in the study area and to identify potential suitable landfill site(s) in the study area. The main data used for this study were SRTM image with a spatial resolution of 30m spatial resolution, Landsat 8 OLI imagery, google earth imagery and ground control point (GCP) collected by ground point survey (GPS). The maps were prepared by overlay and suitability analysis of geographic information system (GIS), remote sensing techniques and multi criteria analysis methods. The potential suitability map was prepared by overlay analyses on Arc map and suitability levels as high, moderate, less suitable, and unsuitable sites of the study area were determined. The results indicate that 37.7% of the study area is unsuitable for solid waste dumping; 44.29% less suitable; 14.97% moderately suitable; and 3.0 % most suitable. The GIS and remote sensing techniques are important tools for solid waste site selection.

Excluding more than a hundred ti- tles of daily tabloids and weekly newspapers, there is a densely saturated broadcast in- dustry consisting of radio, television (terrestrial, satellite, pay per view and cable chan- nels) and video-film in Nigeria. Since the deregulation of the broadcast industry in 1992 with the issuing of broadcast licences to individuals and groups, the country has witnessed a burgeoning growth such that at the beginning of 2008, there were about 284 broadcasting stations in Nigeria. Since then, more licenses have been approved and issued, indicating a further expansion in the industry. Focusing on the practices and policies of the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) vis-à-vis religious broad- casting in a multi-religious society, this paper investigates the politics, policies and processes of regulating deregulation within the industry which have raised some con- troversies in recent times, particularly with reference to what the NBC calls “unverified miracles”. Key Words: Broadcasting, Television, Pentecostalism, Politics, Miracles, Deregula- tion. Introduction Since Nigeria received political Independence in 1960, all the Constitutions drafted and promulgated have guaranteed freedom of religious association, expression and practice.2 What the Constitutions have not granted citizens, in a straightforward, un- complicated manner, is freedom to own and operate a broadcast medium. In a multi- religious society such as Nigeria, the role of the state with respect to religious com- munication is critical.

Definition of a Language The preparation of a listing of Nigerian languages inevitably begs the question of the definition of a language. The terms 'language' and 'dialect' have rather different meanings in informal speech from the more rigorous definitions that must be attempted by linguists. Dialect, in particular, is a somewhat pejorative term suggesting it is merely a local variant of a 'central' language. In linguistic terms, however, dialect is merely a regional, social or occupational variant of another speech-form. There is no presupposition about its importance or otherwise. Because of these problems, the more neutral term 'lect' is coming into increasing use to describe any type of distinctive speech-form. However, the Index inevitably must have head entries and this involves selecting some terms from the thousands of names recorded and using them to cover a particular linguistic nucleus. In general, the choice of a particular lect name as a head-entry should ideally be made solely on linguistic grounds.
