  • Structural Interpretation of Northern Sokoto Basin, Using Airborne Magnetic Data

The total magnetic intensity data covering the basin were processed and filtered using First vertical derivative (FVD) and Horizontal gradient (HG) filters. The FVD and HG were computed to enhance faults, fractures and folds. Ten major fault systems were defined trending majorly in the NE-SW direction with minor NW-SE trends. The lineament of the area was extracted and plotted to define the major trends of both major and minor structures. The lineament map and corresponding rose plot show a dominate NE-SW trend with minor NW-SE, EW and NS structures within the study area. The structural complexity was computed using the lineament map. The lineament density map shows that the eastern part of Gwadebawa, Jiga Birne, Jega, Wamako, Sokoto, Raka, Gayawa, Manu, Giden Madi, Matona, Talata Mafara, Moriki, Gada, Dakko and Baban Baki are intensely deformed. Kuka, Birnin Kebbi, Kaingwa, Binji, Satuka, Tureta, Rabah, Isa, Sabon Birni and eastern part of Raka are moderately deformed; and Satuka, Arbkwe, Bui, Kuka, Botawa, Binji, Sabon Birni, southern part of Tureta and eastern part of Manu are less deformation.

It has caused a number of misfortunes in the country Correspondence: Aliyu A Kware, Department of History, including corruption, insecurity and general underdevelopment. Poverty has always been Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, Nigeria, Tel 0803 636 seen as negative, retrogressive, natural, artificial, man-made, self-imposed, etc. It is just 8434, Email some years back that the Federal Office of Statistics (FOS, NBS) has reported that Sokoto State was the poorest State in Nigeria, a statement that attracted serious heat back from Received: August 14, 2019 | Published: October 15, 2019 the Government of the State. The Government debunked the claim, saying that the report lacked merit and that it was politically motivated.

With rapid population growth and urbanization most, states in Nigeria find it difficult to deliver potable water to a substantial number of people who are in dire need for this resource, especially in the Urban areas. In this study, we attempt to relate public water supply to population density in Kebbi State. An inventory of water supply facilities was taken in 21 Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Kebbi State. Census data was collected from the National Population Commission (NPC), Birnin-kebbi. Results showed that, population density correlates very strongly and positively with handpumps (r=0.95), urban schemes (r=0.88), semi-urban schemes (r=0.69) and village scheme (r=0.74). There was a very weak but positive correlation between population density and boreholes (r=<0.001); population density and tabs (r=<0.001). PCA results showed, that the 21 LGAs cluster nicely across a spectrum of public water supply infrastructure.
