    International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN: 2319-7064 ResearchGate Impact Factor (2018): 0.28 | SJIF (2018): 7.426 Effects of Gully Erosion on Infrastructure in Katsina-Ala Town, Benue State Iyortyer, Clara Torkwase1, Hundu, Williams Terseer2 Department Of Geography, College of Education Katsina-Ala, Benue State, Nigeria Abstract: Gully erosion has serious consequences if left unchecked or uncontrolled and these effects range from ecological, social and economical effect. It also poses potential threat to the physical infrastructure. The objectives of this study were to, map out gully sites in Katsina-Ala Town using GIS techniques, assess the relationship between gully parameters and their effects on infrastructure in Katsina- Ala Town, evaluate the effects of gully erosion on infrastructure in Katsina-Ala town and suggest appropriate recommendations for measures of control. Data were collected using primary and secondary sources, analysis was done using descriptive and inferential statistics, Findings from the study revealed that: a strong correlation exists between gully width and damages on physical infrastructure, weak correlation between depth of gullies and damages to infrastructure and moderate correlation between gully length and physical infrastructure damage in the study area; gully erosion has affected or has potential effects on 67 buildings, 10 pipelines, 25 electric poles 47 streets and 21 culverts. The study recommends preventive measures to avert the adverse effects of gully erosion on infrastructural facilities in Katsina-Ala town. 1. Introduction the increase in gully pools by the side of a few water courses resulting from changes in land use practices remains a Soil erosion by water body is a serious and growing problem source of worry.

  • Rural Non-Farm Income and Inequality in Nigeria
    2. BACKGROUND INFORMATION, DATA AND SURVEY AREA The utilized data were collected from five different villages surveyed in rural Northern Nigeria between 2004 and 2005. These villages are situated within the Hadejia-Nguru floodplain wetlands of Jigawa state in Northern Nigeria. Data were collected from 200 households selected using a multi-stage stratified random sampling approach. The first sampling stratum was selection of the dry savanna region of northern Nigeria, which comprises six states: Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara, Kano, Kaduna and Jigawa. The second stratum was the selection of Jigawa state. Two important elements informed this choice. First, Jigawa state, which was carved out of Kano state in August 1991, has the highest rural population in Nigeria; about 93 percent of the state’s population dwells in rural areas3. Second, agriculture is the dominant sector of the state’s economy, providing employment for over 90 percent of the active labor force. For effective grassroots coverage of the various agricultural activities in Jigawa state, the Jigawa Agricultural and Rural Development (JARDA) is divided into four operational zones that are headquartered in the cities of Birni Kudu, Gumel, Hadejia and Kazaure. Hadejia was selected for this study, forming the third stratum of sampling. Within the Hadejia emirate, there are eight Local Government Areas (LGAs): Auyo, Birniwa, Hadejia, Kaffin-Hausa, Mallam Madori, Kaugama, Kirikasamma and Guri. Kirikasamma LGA was selected for this study, representing the fourth sampling stratum. Kirikassama LGA was specifically chosen because of the area’s intensive economic development and correspondingly higher human population compared to many other parts of Nigeria. In the fifth stratum of sampling, five villages were selected from Kirikassama LGA: Jiyan, Likori, Matarar Galadima, Turabu and Madachi.

The period between 2004 and 2006 has recorded a ruinous prebendal political conflict in the South-Eastern geo-political zone of Nigeria. The conflict, which involved an erstwhile Governor of Anambra State, Dr. Chris Ngige and a political chieftain in the state, Chief Chris Uba, occurred with attendant violence. However, empirical studies on the role played by the press in this type of conflict situation are faint in political communication literature. This study therefore was conducted to investigate how selected newspapers reported the Ngige and Uba prebendal political conflict in South-Eastern Nigeria between 2004 and 2006. Four Nigerian national newspapers were chosen for the study, namely: Daily Champion, Daily Trust, Nigerian Tribune and The Guardian. Purposive sampling was used to select 84 journalistic genres out of 72 editions of the newspapers.
