Corresponding Author: [email protected] ABSTRACT: This study has been carried out mainly for the assessment of naturally occurring radionuclides i.e 40K, 238U and 232Th in rain water samples collected from five LGAs in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. The activity concentrations of the naturally occurring radionuclides 40K, 238U and 232Th in the rainwater samples were measured by the means of a gamma-ray spectrometry using a sodium Iodide Thallium doped NaI (TI) detector. The average activity concentration obtained for 40K in all the location was 27.8 +2.50 Bq.L-1 with a range of 9.4 + 0.88 to 52.3 + 4.26 Bq.L-1, while for 238U, the average activity concentration was 5.2 + 0.88 Bq.L-1 with a range of 1.2 + 0.21 to 15.00 + 2.92 Bq.L-1, for 232Th, the average activity concentration was 6.7 + 0.69 Bq.L-1 with a range of 0.1 + 0.00 to 14.2 + 1.41 Bq.L-1. The total annual effective dose due to the intake of 40K, 238U and 232Th by all the locations ranged from 0.08 + 0.01 mSv.y-1 to 1.53 + 0.17 mSv.y-1 with an average of 0.76 + 0.08 mSv.y-1 did not show any significant health impact since it is below the recommended public exposure limit of 1mSv.y-1.

UMOREN AND NSIKAKABASI A. ETIM1† Department of Urban and Regional Planning, University of Uyo, P.M.B 1017, Uyo, Nigeria †Department of Agricultural Economics and Extension, University of Uyo, P.M.B 1017, Uyo, Nigeria 1Corresponding author’s e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The development of the rural economy is a sine qua non for poverty reduction. This paper highlights the need for rural infrastructure particularly road development in a reforming and developing economy. The accessibility of settlements to the states and federal routes was investigated. Findings reveal that out of the 1452 settlements in the state, 46.9% were accessible while 53.1% were not accessible to either state or federal roads. The study suggests the provision of access roads that will boost agricultural production and marketing and ensure food security and poverty reduction in the rural economy. © 2011 Friends Science Publishers Key Words: Settlement; Accessibility; Transport; Poverty; Nigeria INTRODUCTION between 1980 and 1996, shows that majority of the poor are located in rural areas.

  • Development of Road Infrastructure As a Tool of Transforming Ibiono Ibom Local Government Area
    53 GLOBAL JOURNAL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES VOL 8, NO. 2, 2009: 53-59 COPYRIGHT© BACHUDO SCIENCE CO. LTD PRINTED IN NIGERIA. ISSN 1596-6216 DEVELOPMENT OF ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE AS A TOOL OF TRANSFORMING IBIONO IBOM LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA V. UMOREN, E. E. IKUREKONG, A. EMMANUEL AND A.A. UDIDA (Received 25, March 2009; Revision Accepted 18, September 2009) ABSTRACT The need for road infrastructure arises from the fact that there is a greater need for accessibility and smooth movement of abundant agricultural products especially from the rural areas to the markets in urban centres. The improvement of transportation network in the rural area in this regard becomes imperative. This study was conducted to reveal the importance of development of road infrastructure as a panacea for socio-economic advancement in the rural areas. The study area was stratified into three zones i.e Ibiono Central, Ibiono Northern and Ibiono Southern. The Gamma index was used to determine the level of connectivity of each zone in relation to the distribution of socio-economic activity or services in the area. In analysis of the road network connectivity the gamma Index was used. The results indicate a low connectivity, index of 0.26 for zone A, 0.40 for zone B and 0.31 for zone C, in each of the three zones. This implies that there is poor accessibility, poor connectivity, which result in low level of socio-economic activity in the area. The analysis of the socio-economic development variables was carried out based on quality point assigned to the variables. Finally the correlation analysis was employed to determine the relationship between road infrastructure and socio-economic development.

  • Analysis and Depiction of Accessibility Levels of Water Supply Schemes in Rural Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria
    Iranian Journal of Health, Safety & Environment, Vol.3, No.2, pp. 518-527 Analysis and Depiction of Accessibility Levels of Water Supply Schemes in Rural Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria Uwem Ituen1, Jacob Atser*2, Samuel N Edem1 1) Department of Geography and Natural resource Management, University of Uyo,Uyo, Nigeria 2) Department of Urban and Regional Planning, University of Uyo, Uyo, Nigeria *Author for Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 08 Oct. 2015 , Revised: 15 Dec. 2015, Accepted: 22 Jan.2016 ABSTRACT This study analyzed and depicted accessibility levels of water schemes in rural areas of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. Data on rural water schemes, population data as well as a community map of the study area were utilized. GIS technique was employed in creating a database of water schemes and the spatial distribution of the water schemes displayed on the map of the study area. Based on the criteria stipulated in the National Water Supply and Sanitation Policy for Nigeria, percentage rural water accessibility map was computed and analysed using ArcMap extension. Findings revealed the discrepancies in the sitting of water facilities and gradual phasing out of handpump boreholes to mini water schemes. Lack of community boundary map is a setback to rural water scheme implementation. Percentage access to safe water supply was found to be very low. It is recommended that the state government should set up Water Supply Technical Committee to regulate water supply programmes with the mandate of redesigning water schemes in line with the national policy standard. Keywords: Rural Water Schemes, Accessibility Levels, Analysis, Depiction, Akwa Ibom State INTRODUCTION should be served by those water points [3].

Detailed analysis of borehole lithologic samples shows a multi-aquifer system, with a sub-regional trend of upper unconfined aquifer and locally restricted subjacent second and third aquifers. The regionally extensive upper unconfined aquifer was logged across boreholes in Abak, Etim Ekpo, Etinan, Ibiono Ibom, Ikono, Ini, Itu, Nsit Atai, Nsit Ibom, Obot Akara, Okobo, Oron, Uruam and Uyo. The depth of this aquifer varies from 10 - 67 meters from coastal to central areas, and 22.5 - 120 meters towards the north.. Thirty two groundwater samples were analyzed for their physico–chemical and microbiological properties, using standard methods. The average temperature of groundwater samples is 27oC. The water is slightly acidic to slightly alkaline with pH values ranging from 4.28 – 8.92. Electrical conductivity (EC) values range from 20.3 µs/cm to 343.1 µs/cm. Chloride contents in some boreholes are up to 31.30 mg/l, possibly indicating saltwater encroachment in those locations (Ibeno, Mbo, Onna and Udung Uko).. Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) range from 12.60 – 147 mg/l. Total Iron (Fe) values range from 0.01 - 8.5 mg/l.
