Contributions within the academic circles, family link and notable individuals/personages deserve due acknowledgement. This is because a man who beats up his doctor after he has been cured is incapable of being grateful. Nature‘s cruelty, to candour, is more bearable than man‘s ingratitude to man. Words are undoubtedly inadequate to quantify the roles of my supervisors, Dr. Kolawole David Aiyedun and Professor Samuel Ovuete Aghalino, to whom special accolades are exclusively reserved. In spite of their busy schedules as Head of Department, Senior Professor and in many other capacities, they never denied me the benefits of their supervisory acumen. -

Adeoye, Olufemi Ogunsanwo and *Olusegun O. Ige Department of Geology and Mineral Sciences, University of Ilorin, P. M. B 1515, Ilorin, Nigeria *Corresponding author [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT Urbanization and population rise are major factors that contribute to increase quantity of waste generation and its disposal constraint especially in developing countries. This study investigates the geotechnical properties of five soils from southwestern Nigeria for their use as liners in sanitary landfill for disposal of solid waste. The required parameters for soils to be considered as liners were determined in accordance with the British Standard Institute. Results obtained showed that the percentage of fines range from 42% to 82% and index of plasticity values range from 25.0% to 32.6%. Clay activity varies between 0.47 and 0.88. Thus, the soils are classified as non-expansive clay of low to medium plasticity. The maximum dry density values at standard Proctor energy of compaction range from 1.46g/cm 3 to 1.96g/cm 3 while those obtained at modified Proctor energy range from 1.57g/cm 3 to 2.09g/cm 3 .The highest coefficient of permeability value obtained for all soils investigated is 2.99 x 10 -9m/s. -

2014 Annual Education Sector Performance Report KWARA STATE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION AND HUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT 2014 ANNUAL EDUCATION SECTOR PERFORMANCE REPORT PRODUCED BY MONITORING AND EVALUATION UNIT, PLANNING RESEARCH AND STATISTICS DEPARTMENT Preface The State Ministry of Education started the production of the annual education sector performance report in 2009 with full support from Education Sector Support Programme in Nigeria (ESSPIN). The idea was to monitor education sector performance in the state so that informed decision can be made prior to preparation annual budget. This further stimulates the commitment of Kwara State Government to the annual review of the 3years Medium Team Sector Strategy (MTSS) and also the strategic plan. The year under review relies on the 2014/2015 Annual School Census data and also qualitative information from school and community level reports to demonstrate evidence of school improvement. Furthermore, the this report captures the overall performance of the education sector from Early Childhood Care Development (ECCD) or pre-primary education to tertiary, including the technical and vocational education. The financial position is also show by the budget and expenditure reports from the sector MDAs and accountant General annual reports, 2014. By and large, one is obliged to appreciate the contributions of the AESPR drafting team, and Education Management Information System (EMIS) Unit of the planning Research and statistics Departments across the MDAs in producing this report. My appreciation will not be complete without making reference to the technical and financial support from our development partners, DFID/ESSPIN in realization of reform programmes in the education sector. Thanks and stay blessed. -
The Impact of Ilorin Scholars to the Development of Islam Inigbomina Land
World Journal of Islamic History and Civilization, 8 (1): 33-41, 2018 ISSN 2225-0883 © IDOSI Publications, 2018 DOI: 10.5829/idosi.wjihc.2018.33.41 The Impact of Ilorin Scholars to the Development of Islam Inigbomina Land Yusuf Adebola Bamigboye Department of Islamic, Christian and Comparative Religious Studies, Kwara State University, Malete, Nigeria Abstract: Ilorin, the capital of Kwara State, Nigeria, has played a significant role in the history of the spread and growth of Islam in Yoruba land in general and in Igbomina land in particular. Little wonder why renowned authors of history have described the city as “an Islamic light house, a local Mecca to which Yoruba Muslims turned for study and guidance”. This ancient Islamic sanctuary has also been described by historical experts as “the springboard from where Islamic missionary activities began to be launched into the heart of Yorubaland”. Igbominaland is a notable dialectical area among the Yoruba in Nigeria. Available works on Islam in Igbominaland did not specifically discuss the roles of Ilorin Scholars in the growth and development of Islam in Igbominaland. Also missing is none documentation of how Ilorin Scholars based in Lagos impacted on the Igbomina people in Lagos. Apart from digging deep into the roles played by highly revered Ilorin Muslim scholars in the growth and development of Islam in Igbominaland, the missing links are to be discussed in this paper. To achieve this objective, historical and phenomenological research methods were adopted, coupled with interviews and references to the works of some past authors. It concluded by re-establishing the truth in the belief that Ilorin Muslims, by and large, cannot go without mention in discussing the spread and development of Islam to and in Igbomina land as Igbomina people are known to have been impacted upon by Ilorin at home and outside their places of origin. -

Evangicalresponsetothecorona
‘Dr. Owojaiye is fast becoming one of the most outstanding evangelical voices on the African continent. He gracefully com- bines his skills as an exceptional Christian thinker and as a sound pastoral practitioner. This book is a product of his rich reflections on the impact of the coronavirus restrictions on corporate wor- ship in Nigeria. The book offers fresh insights into the future of evangelical Christianity in Africa. I enthusiastically commend it to you.’ – Georges P. Atido, Professor of World Christianity and Missiology and President, Shalom University, Bunia, Democratic Republic of Congo. ‘Dr. Owojaiye’s book provides, not only a timely response to the current pandemic, but also a much wider lens with which to view the disease. He approaches the subject from the rich perspective of World Christianity as viewed by someone positioned in the majority world. I commend his unique effort to the reader.’ – Mark R. Shaw, Professor of Historical Studies and Director, Center for World Christianity, Africa International University, Nairobi, Kenya. ‘The author has used the example of ECWA as a hook around which to have a wide-ranging discussion of issues facing Christians in Africa today. I commend it to you.’ – Paul Todd, Publishing Editor, Africa Christian Textbooks (ACTS) and Deputy Director, SIM Nigeria. ‘This book on the unfolding apocalyptic phenomenon of COVID-19 is an important initiative. Babatomiwa Owojaiye breaks ground for what promises to be a thriving motif for in- tellectual endeavours for generations to come. The book is en- gaging, lucid reading and reminds the church about its unique role in history, especially in the face of plagues and pandemics (suffering)—when the core tenets of love, care, sacrifice with courage and hope—shine out the brightest. -

Evaluation of Women's On-Farm Trial of Drought Tolerant Maize In
5 Evaluation of Women’s On-Farm Trial of Drought Tolerant Maize in Southern Guinea Savannah Agro-Ecological Zone of Nigeria O. E. Ayinde, T. Abdoulaye, G. A. Olaoye, and A. O. Oloyede 5.1 Introduction The importance of food security in Africa cannot be overemphasized. This is seen in the growing discussions and efforts made in meeting the food security challenge such as the translation from Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To solve the food security challenge, there is a need to increase agricul- tural production through technological innovations to boost production in Africa. However, this must be achieved against a backdrop of issues such as climate change and droughts amongst others (Global Food Security Index 2015). Drought is the most devastating and costly chal- lenge to crop production because farmers in Africa practise rain-fed O. E. Ayinde (*) • G. A. Olaoye • A. O.

Many farmers in Africa are faced with significant reduction in yield due to drought. Fisher et al. (2015) stated that yield losses of about 10–25% are recorded from around 40% of Africa’s maize-growing areas due to drought stress. It is estimated that by 2030 drought and rising temperatures could render Africa’s maize- growing areas unsuitable for current varieties (CGIAR Big Facts). -
