Nigerian Journal of Rural Sociology Vol. 16, No. 3, 2016 RELEVANCE OF INDIGENOUS INSTITUTIONS IN CONFLICT RESOLUTION AND SUSTAINABLE LAND USE MANAGEMENT AMONG SETTLED FULANI AGRO-PASTORAL COMMUNITIES OF OGUN STATE, NIGERIA David, O. A. Department of General Studies, School of Communication & Information Technology, Moshood Abiola Polytechnic Ojeere, Abeokuta, Ogun state Correspondent contact details: [email protected] ABSTRACT There is a need to bring to fore the contribution of indigenous institutions in promoting peace building, fostering co-operation and collaboration among settled Fulani Agro-pastoralists in communities of Ogun State, Nigeria. The leadership institutions in pastoral communities were found to be involved in the process of investigating and resolving conflict as well as making authoritative decisions in respect of land access and sustainable use of natural resources management. Sustainable access to land resources and use for cattle and crop production in pastoral communities is dependent on the prevalence of strong local institutions for collective action (co- operation and collaboration). Purposive sampling technique was used to select 435 respondents. Data were collected using semi-structured Interview Guide. Fulani respondents maintained that some of the challenges facing them were loose collaboration/contradiction between statutory and indigenous institutions, intrusion of migratory pastoralists ( Bororo ), illegal entry of new herders, lack of policy support by government to settle conflict between Fulani -

International Journal on New Trends in Education and Their Implications April, May, June 2011 Volume: 2 Issue: 2 Article: 4 ISSN 1309-6249 UNIVERSAL BASIC EDUCATION (UBE) POLICY IMPLEMENTATION IN FACILITIES PROVISION: Ogun State as a Case Study Prof. Dr. Kayode AJAYI Dr. Muyiwa ADEYEMI Faculty of Education Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, NIGERIA ABSTRACT The Universal Basic Education Programme (UBE) which encompasses primary and junior secondary education for all children (covering the first nine years of schooling), nomadic education and literacy and non-formal education in Nigeria have adopted the “collaborative/partnership approach”. In Ogun State, the UBE Act was passed into law in 2005 after that of the Federal government in 2004, hence, the demonstration of the intention to make the UBE free, compulsory and universal. The aspects of the policy which is capital intensive require the government to provide adequately for basic education in the area of organization, funding, staff development, facilities, among others. With the commencement of the scheme in 1999/2000 until-date, Ogun State, especially in the area of facility provision, has joined in the collaborative effort with the Federal government through counter-part funding to provide some facilities to schools in the State, especially at the Primary level. These facilities include textbooks (in core subjects’ areas- Mathematics, English, Social Studies and Primary Science), blocks of classrooms, furniture, laboratories/library, teachers, etc. This study attempts to assess the level of articulation by the Ogun State Government of its UBE policy within the general framework of the scheme in providing facilities to schools at the primary level. -

Each pupil previously treated was retreated 6 or 7 months after the initial treatment in Ogun State, Nigeria. The implementation was based on the theoretical equation for time-prevalence: Y = G [1 -(1-X)N-R]. Using the Psuedo- Code of the MONRATE tool, the calculated monthly reinfection rates (X) for the LGAs were 1.6% in Ewekoro, 2.3% in Odeda, 2.3% in Ado-odo/Otta, 3.8% in Ogun Waterside and 4.2% in Obafemi/Owode. The mathematical mean of 'X' values in the study areas for Ogun State was 2.84. The calculated reinfection time (N months) for the LGAs varied such as Ado-odo/Otta (12.7), Ogun Waterside (21.8), Obafemi/Owode (22.92), Odeda (25.45), and Ewekoro (25.9). The mean value for N in Ogun State was 21.75. The results obtained from MONRATE were compared with those obtained using the mathematical equation and were found to be the same but MONRATE was faster in computation and more accurate. -

Received 06 February, 2016; Accepted 16 March, 2016 © The author(s) 2015. Published with open access at www.questjournals.org ABSTRACT:- Soil conservation is a set of management strategies for prevention of soil being eroded from the earth’s surface or becoming chemically altered by overuse, salinization acidification, or other chemical soil contamination. Soil conservation technique is the application of processes to the solution of soil management problems. This research assessed the level of crop farmers’ awareness of soil conservation, described the socio- economic characteristics of the crop farmers, and evaluated factors that determine or influence their adoption of soil conservation techniques in Ikenne local government area of Ogun State. One hundred (100) crop farmers were selected randomly for the research study but out of all the 100 questionnaires administered, only 97 were found useful for analysis. The demographic data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics, while the logit regression model was used to evaluate the factors determining crop farmers’ adoption of soil conservation techniques. The descriptive analysis result showed that 61.9% of the respondents had farming as their major occupation, 87.6% had farmlands of their own, 38.1% belonged to farmers’ groups/associations, and 71.1% were aware of soil conservation techniques. -

It was revealed that 76.8% of the household farmers had average income below N30,000 per month. The household farmer’s expenditure was N4,961.24 and per capital average expenditure was N925.605. This showed that poverty level is very critical and needs urgent attention in the study area. On this note, it was recommended that appropriate, attainable and practicable programme should be done to alleviate poverty and enhance income among rural farmers and that there Nigerians most especially food insecure and vulnerable individual. -

The activities of the Duarries have detrimental effects on the environment and more importantly on permanent crops; most especially cocoa which is a major commercial crop in the study area. Therefore, this study determined the perceived effects of Duarry activities on cocoa production in )ewa north local government area of Ogun State, Nigeria. A multi1 stage sampling procedure was used in selecting 120 cocoa farmers in the study area. .ata collected were analy6ed using descriptive statistical tools like mean, percentage, freDuency counts, standard deviation and inferential statistics like Chi1sDuare, PP5C and t1test. All (100L, of the farmers were married, with mean age of 53 a8.4years. 9owever, 42.5L of the cocoa farmers have a household si6e of between 5 and 6, while 86.7L of them had formal education with majority finishing secondary school. Environmental problems identified as being severe by respondents were soil erosion, air pollution and massive deforestation, while problems associated with Duarry activities were rock blasting, rock powdering and transportation. There is significant difference in the yield of cocoa production before and after the establishment of the cement industry in 2011 in the study area (tN120.851, pN0.0000,.
