Eight research questions were posed and answered while eight hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. Eight research questions and eight null hypotheses guided the study. The population of the study was 63,527 which comprised 1,244 principals and 58,343 teachers in public secondary schools in South-Eastern State. The sample for the study was 1,980 made of teachers and 565 principals. A multi stage sampling technique was adopted to draw the sample for this study. The instrument for data collection was a researcher developed questionnaire titled “Principals’ Utilization of Supervisory Skills for Teachers Questionnaire (PUSSTQ). The questionnaire focused on specific areas of principals’ supervisory skills namely communication, problem solving, leadership, development, resourcefulness and empathy skills. The study also investigated the factors impeding principals’ use of supervisory skills and ways of improving principals’ supervisory skills for quality assurance in public secondary schools in South East, Nigeria. The instrument was subjected to face validation by three experts. The experts were requested to check the relevance, adequacy, language, comprehensiveness and appropriateness of the items bearing in mind the purpose of the study. To determine the reliability of the instrument, a trial-test was conducted with 15 teachers and 5 principals in public secondary schools in Kogi State which is outside the area of the study. Cronbach Alpha Method was used to determine the internal consistency of the clusters of the instrument and they yielded 0.89, 0.74, 0.70, 0.83, 0.90, 0.96, 0.91 and 0.82 for the eight clusters respectively. The data for the study were collected with the help of four research assistants.

The study identified most of all the known rivers in Imo State and provided information like relief, topography and other geographical features of the major rivers which are crucial to aid water management for a sustainable water infrastructure in the communities of the watershed. The rivers and lakes are classified into five watersheds (river basins) such as Okigwe watershed, Mbaise / Mbano watershed, Orlu watershed, Oguta watershed and finally, Owerri watershed. The knowledge of the river basins in Imo State will help analyze the problems involved in water resources allocation and to provide guidance for the planning and management of water resources in the state for sustainable development.

  • Of Anthony Obinna to Mormonism: Elective Affinities, Socio-Economic Factors, and Religious Change in Postcolonial Southeastern Nigeria
    religions Article The “Conversion” of Anthony Obinna to Mormonism: Elective Affinities, Socio-Economic Factors, and Religious Change in Postcolonial Southeastern Nigeria David Dmitri Hurlbut Department of History, Boston University, Boston, MA 02215, USA; [email protected] Received: 26 May 2020; Accepted: 10 July 2020; Published: 15 July 2020 Abstract: This article analyzes the “conversion” of Anthony Uzodimma Obinna, an Igbo schoolteacher from the town of Aboh Mbaise in Imo State, and his extended family to Mormonism in southeastern Nigeria between the 1960s and the 1980s, from a historical perspective. I argue that the transition of Anthony Obinna and his family away from Catholicism to Mormonism can be explained by both the elective affinities that existed between Mormonism and indigenous Igbo culture, and socio-economic factors as well. This article bases its conclusions on a close reading of oral histories, personal papers, and correspondence housed at the LDS Church History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah and L. Tom Perry Special Collections at Harold B. Lee Library, Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. Keywords: Mormonism; The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; Anthony Obinna; religious conversion; southeastern Nigeria 1. Introduction: The Official Story of Anthony Obinna This article analyzes the “conversion” of Anthony Uzodimma Obinna, an Igbo schoolteacher from the town of Aboh Mbaise in Imo State in the southeastern part of Nigeria, and his extended family to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) between the 1960s and the 1980s.1 Offering a social explanation of religious change that complicates the official narratives of Anthony Obinna’s “conversion,” I argue that the movement of Anthony Obinna and his family away from Catholicism to Mormonism can be explained by both the elective affinities that existed between Mormonism and indigenous Igbo culture, and socio-economic factors as well.

  • List of Community Banks Converted to Microfinance Banks As at 31St
    CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA IMPORTANT NOTICE LIST OF COMMUNITY BANKS THAT HAVE SUCESSFULLY CONVERTED TO MICROFINANCE BANKS AS AT DECEMBER 31, 2007 Following the expiration of December 31, 2007 deadline for all existing community banks to re-capitalize to a minimum of N20 million shareholders’ fund, unimpaired by losses, and consequently convert to microfinance banks (MFB), it is imperative to publish the outcome of the conversion exercise for the guidance of the general public. Accordingly, the attached list represents 607 erstwhile community banks that have successfully converted to microfinance banks with either final licence or provisional approval. This list does not, however, include new investors that have been granted Final Licences or Approvals-In- Principle to operate as microfinance banks since the launch of Microfinance Policy on December 15, 2005. The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) hereby states categorically that only the community banks on this list that have successfully converted to microfinance banks shall continue to be supervised by the CBN. Members of the public are hereby advised not to transact business with any community bank which is not on the list of these successfully converted microfinance banks. Any member of the public, who transacts business with any community bank that failed to convert to MFB does so at his/her own risk. Members of the public are also to note that the operating licences of community banks that failed to re-capitalize and consequently do not appear on this list, have automatically been revoked pursuant to Section 12 of BOFIA, 1991 (as amended). For the avoidance of the doubt, new applications either as a Unit or State Microfinance Banks from potential investors or promoters shall continue to be received and processed for licensing by the Central Bank of Nigeria.

  • And Resitivity Survey Methods for Evaluation of Groundwater Potentials: Case Study of Imo State, Nigeria
    www.ccsenet.org/apr Applied Physics Research Vol. 3, No. 1; May 2011 Correlation of Self Potential (SP) and Resitivity Survey Methods for Evaluation of Groundwater Potentials: Case Study of Imo State, Nigeria Leonard I. Nwosu, Cyril N. Nwankwo & Anthony S. Ekine Department of Physics, University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Received: September 21, 2010 Accepted: October 12, 2010 doi:10.5539/apr.v3n1p100 Abstract A total of seventeen vertical electric surroundings were carried out in Mbaitolu Local Government Area (L.G.A) of Imo State Nigeria, during which apparent resistivity and SP values were simultaneously measured. The field curves obtained reveals a multilayered earth with series of crest and trough for all the sounding stations. VES 6 showed only positive maxima and minima. The distribution of SP values for electrode spacing AB/2 = 100m divides the area into two zones of positive and negative potentials respectively. The anomaly high areas are those of favourable aquifer which form discharge zones with strong lateral flow and high aquifer thickness and transmissivity. Anomaly low areas correspond to areas of infiltration. The depth to aquifer determined from SP survey ranged from 40m to 115m and correlated fairly well with those obtained from resistivity result in 16 out of the 17 stations. The distribution of equipotential lines shown by the contour map divides the area into two zones by a zero potential line suggesting a possible ground water divided in terms of water quality or geologic setting or both. The cross-correlation coefficient computed statistically for each pair of depth points gave correlation significance at the 0.01 level, which validates the results.

Ikpeme, 2Chinasa Uttah and 1Emmanuel C. Uttah 1Department of Biological Sciences, Cross River University of Technology, Calabar, Nigeria. 2Department of Geography and Environmental Science, University of Calabar, Nigeria. Abstract: This work was aimed at assessing the effect of crude oil spill on the diversity and abundance of plankton communities of the Njaba River area of the spill. Sampling was carried out in 1999 in nine clusters of stations, three each from upstream, spill-point and downstream transects. Each cluster was made up of three perpendicular sampling points across the river. Standard methods were used in collecting, preserving, identifying and counting the plankton. A total of 60 species of phytoplankton in 55 genera were collected. Phytoplankton constituted 62.9% of abundance and 71.4% of plankton species collected. The MDI for the upstream was comparable to that of the downstream, and both are significantly higher than the MDI for the spill-point (×2-test; p < 0.05). In all, 122 zooplankton specimens in 24 species and 23 genera were collected. Zooplankton from the upstream clusters accounted for 81.1% of overall abundance and 95.8% of all the species collected. The more pollution- sensitive species such as the meroplankton were only found upstream and were totally absent in both downstream and spill-point clusters. Index of similarity between upstream and downstream shows 76% similarity for phytoplankton and 81% for zooplankton; but the index of similarity between the spill- point and either the upstream or downstream was quite low.
