Most parts of the south and some parts of the north central had rainfall amounts exceeding 100mm. Surplus soil moisture conditions were observed in most parts of the country exception for few areas like Sokoto, Gusau, Katsina, Nguru, Potiskum, Maiduguri, Ilorin and Warri which had deficits. Most parts of the country had normal temperatures while warmer than normal temperatures have persisted along the extreme north (Sokoto, Katsina, Nguru, Potiskum, Maiduguri, Gusau and Kano). Areas in and around Jos, Shaki, Iseyin and Eket were colder than normal. Temperatures below 32 Deg C were recorded in most parts of the country while the extreme north had above 32 Deg C. Harvest of maize, cassava, fruity vegetables and new yams remained the dominant field activity during the dekad. 1.0 RAINFALL TREND 1.1 Rainfall Anomaly Katsina, Nguru, Maiduguri, Ilorin Shaki and Warri which had below 30mm. The highest rainfall amounts were recorded in Uyo, Ogoja and Asaba with 211.9mm, 221.3mm and 289.6mm respectively. 1.3 COMPARISON OF NORMAL WITH ACTUAL RAINFALL FOR THE DEKAD Figs 3A & B below are the comparison of the actual rainfall amount with normal rainfall values in some selected stations across the south and the north of the country. Both figures show that most stations in both the north and south had below normal rainfall.

Kano State Water Board (KSWB) was saddle with responsibility of domestic water supply to the entire state. The state have about 22 water treatment plants that source, treat and distribute water to the residents of the study area. The data collected were from secondary sources, descriptive statistics was the statistical instruments used in the data analysis. KSWB supply about 415 million litres daily (MLD) to the Kano city and its environs and about 92 MLD to local government headquarters and semi-urban areas. Similarly, there about 50 commercial water standing pumps being operated and maintained by KSWB to ease water supply to nook and crannies of the state.Where pipe borne water is not connected, boreholes, hands pumped and concrete wells are constructed by Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Agency (RUWASA) to ease water supply at sufficient quality and quantity to rural communities in the state.

The State has 44local govemment areas out of which 18 are Meso endemic with few hyper-endemic foci. The State falls in the Sudan Savannah and Sahel zones. Howeyer, the endemic areas are generally located in the Sudan savannah. The Ivermectin Distribution Programme (IDP) is in the 7th treatment round in some of the LGAs while in the 6th treatment round in others. However, CDTI strategy started in 1999. The CDTI project is therefore implemented in 779 communities of the 18 APOC approved local governments. Mobilization of the community members was conducted in all the targeted communities. In addition to mobilization, the state officials conducted advocacy visits to all the endemic local government Areas. The Launching of the commencement of 2002 prograrnme, which was performed by His Excellency, the Deputy Governor of Kano State increased awareness and acceptance of Mectizan by the people in the State. Electronic media, town criers and CDDs were among the mobilization strategies adopted for community mobilization. Targeted Training and re-training of CDTI programme personnel was conducted at state, LGA, and community levels, for those that are new in the programme as well as those with training dfficulties.

Two groundnut varieties were evaluated for their response to different plant density and phosphorus application in two locations in the Sudan Savanna zone of Nigeria in 2012 and 2013. The groundnut were planted at density of 44444, 66667, and 133333 hills ha-1 with average of two plants per hill. Phosphorus was applied at rate of 0 or 20 kg P ha-1. P fertilizer application increased pod and haulm yields by 26% and 16% respectively in Minjibir. It increased pod and haulm yields by 62% and 27% respectively in Wudil. Pod and haulm yields, harvest index, revenue, profit and cost benefit ratio increased with increasing plant density. Samnut-24 produced pod yields that were significantly higher than Samnut-22 across treatments. Pod yields at density of 133,333 hills ha-1 was 31% higher than at 66667 and 40% than at 44,444 hills ha-1.

United Nations Development Programme: Arid Zone Research Niamey- Niger Abstract Aridity index (AI) is a numerical indicator of the degree of dryness of the climate at a given location. These indicators serve to identify and delimit regions that suffer from a deficit of available water, a condition that can severely affect the effective use of agricultural land and water resources development. The focus of this paper is to determine the trend and map out the aridity of the drought prone areas of northern Nigeria. Three decade’s (1981–2010) annual rainfall and, minimum and maximum temperature records for 11 synoptic meteorological stations were collected from NIMET Office, Lagos and used. De Martonne’s aridity index formula was applied to the data and aridity indices were derived for the region. The derived aridity indices were subjected to time series analysis and classification of the region into aridity zones was carried out based on the derived aridity indices from which an aridity map of the region was produced.

[] SECTION ONE BACKGROUND Bauchi State project is located in the North-East of Nigerian. There are 20 local Govemment Ares in the State. The State shares boundaries with Plateau, Kano, Jigawa, Yobe, Borno, Taraba and Gombe States. The State lies in the Savannah region of Nigeria, with variation in ecological conditions with the southern and western parts being sudan or guinea Savannah, having a relatively higher rainfall, the northern part of the State is sahel Savannah with flat lands and fewer hills. Some major rivers traverse the State. These include the river Hadeja, Jama'are, Gongola and Dindima. Most of the endemic local government areas lies along these river systems. The State has two distinct seasons', dry and rain seasons. There are six months of rain, beginning in May and ending in October. The farming season is from May to December. Most of the onchocerciasis endemic communities are not accessible all year round; the dirt and laterite roads to these communities are usually not motor-able during the height of the rainy season. Even in dry season, where the roads are sandy, four-wheel drive vehicles may be required in some instances along with motorcycles and bicycles. The settlement pattern varies in different part of the State. Generally, there is a pattern of nuclear settlements, with surrounding farmlands.
