Appraisal of Cowpea Cropping Systems and Farmers' Perceptions Of
Mohammed et al. CABI Agric Biosci (2021) 2:25 https://doi.org/10.1186/s43170-021-00046-7 CABI Agriculture and Bioscience RESEARCH Open Access Appraisal of cowpea cropping systems and farmers’ perceptions of production constraints and preferences in the dry savannah areas of Nigeria Saba Baba Mohammed1,2, Daniel Kwadjo Dzidzienyo2* , Muhammad Lawan Umar1, Mohammad Faguji Ishiyaku1, Pangirayi Bernard Tongoona2 and Vernon Gracen2,3 Abstract Background: Low plant density and wide intra-plant spacing in traditional cowpea cropping systems are among the factors responsible for low yield on farmers’ felds. Sole cropping and improved intercropping systems have been advocated in the last few years to increase yield in the dry savannah areas of Nigeria. This study investigated the level of adoption of high yielding cowpea cropping systems including factors that infuenced their use and farmers’ perceived production constraints and preferences. A total of 420 farmers across 36 villages of northern Nigeria were interviewed, and data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics to appraise farmers predominant cowpea cropping systems and factors that determine the use of sole versus intercropping were identifed with the aid of binary logit regression. Furthermore, pairwise comparison ranking was deployed to understand farmers’ view of cow- pea production constraints and preferred traits. Results: The results revealed that, many of the farmers (42%) still grow cowpeas in the traditional intercropping and a good number (25%) cultivate the crop as a sole crop, while 23% had felds of cowpeas in both sole and intercropping systems. Farmers reported the incidence of high insect pests, limited access to land, desire to have multiple benefts, and assurance in the event of crop failure as reasons for preference for intercropping over sole planting. -

September 1998 to February 1999 t 0 MAI 1999 fPoc / Ptvt EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Kano State is situated in the northern part of Nigeria. The State has 44 local government areas out of which 18 are Meso endemic with few hyper-endemic foci. The State falls in the Sudan Savannah and Sahel zones. However, the endemic areas are generally located in the sudan savannah. The terrain is flat or some major rivers such as River Kano, River Zungur and Challawa and their tribulaties drain slightly undulating, with sandy soil; the region. There is obtained a large irrigation scheme in the project area (the Kadawa Scheme) which covers a large area and is marked by an extensive network of irrigation channels. These provide suitable breeding places for the blackfly. Ivermectin Distribution Program (lDP) started in 1996 with CBM assigned by NOCP to assist Kano State in the control of onchocerciasis in all the endemic area of the State. Below are the treatment figures for the period of 1996 to 1998 before the new approach (CDTI). 1996 108,837 t997 209,135 1 998 241,518 The CDTI approach began fully in January, 1999 with the arrival of APOC funds after formal approval in September, 1998. -
Nutrition Success
Introducing the Immunity Boosting Sweet Potato to Kano State Nigeria is one of the countries with the highest risk of Vitamin A Deficiency (VAD). It is also particularly challenging to reach the most vulnerable children in rural, hard to reach communities as these communities are often missed during Vitamin A supplementation programs. As such, only two in five children receive adequate levels of supplementation, leaving a higher percentage of children at risk of Vitamin A Deficiency (VAD). National surveys show that Kano state has one of the lowest vitamin A uptake levels. eHealth Africa received funding from the German Cooperation (GIZ) to implement a pilot project with the goal of supplementing vitamin A uptake and Pictures from the hands-on training and cooking demon- diversifying the diets of GIZ farmers in Kano state stration. through the introduction of Orange- Fleshed Sweet Potato (OFSP).

Impeachment Power of the Legislature and Executive Unaccountability in Nigeria: Between Rhetoric and Practice
International Journal of Law ISSN: 2455-2194; Impact Factor: RJIF 5.12 Received: 03-11-2020; Accepted: 17-11-2020; Published: 03-12-2020 www.lawjournals.org Volume 6; Issue 6; 2020; Page No. 252-263 Impeachment power of the legislature and executive unaccountability in Nigeria: Between rhetoric and practice Ngozi Udombana1, Prudence Adula Okparavero2 1 Department of Public Law, Nigerian Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, University of Lagos Campus, Akoka, Lagos, Nigeria 2 Department and African and Comparative Law, Nigerian Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, Supreme Court Complex, Three Arms Zone, Abuja, Nigeria Abstract Nigeria’s governance structure comprises three arms of government: the legislature, executive and judiciary. The Constitution vests each arm with specific roles in consonance with the doctrine of separation of powers. Reciprocal checks and balances in the governing system is an important feature of separation of powers. The legislature checks the other organs, and vice versa. The goal is to ensure accountability in governance. One way by which the legislature ensures accountability of the executive is through the impeachment process. This power is vested in a bicameral legislature at the federal level – the National Assembly (NASS). This paper, a desk review, appraises the impeachment power of the National Assembly as provided for in the Constitution. It examines the extent to which this power has been employed to ensure the accountability of the executive under the present democratic dispensation. It argues that the National Assembly has failed to utilise its power of impeachment because it has been compromised due to its own accountability deficit. It recommends, among others, that the NASS should strive to conduct the business of the Assembly in a manner that preserves the integrity of the legislature and avoids conflicts of interest. -

This study aimed to estimate baseline age- standardized overweight prevalence at the lowest administrative units among women, 18 years and older, in seven African countries. The study aims are synonymous with indicator 14 of the global non-communicable disease monitoring framework. Methods We used the most recent Demographic and Health Survey and administrative boundaries data from the GADM. Three Bayesian hierarchical models were fitted and model selection tests implemented.
