  • Proof of Influence Evaluation of the Nigeria Evidence‐Based Health System Initiative (NEHSI)
    Proof of Influence Evaluation of the Nigeria Evidence‐based Health System Initiative (NEHSI) Commissioned by the Evaluation Sub-Committee of the Project Advisory Committee and the Governance for Equity in Health Programme, The International Development Research Centre, Canada. Report written by the Evaluation Technical Advisory Committee (Muhammed M Lecky (IDRC-NEHSI Senior Advisor), Sarah BJ Macfarlane (Independent Consultant), Ricardo Wilson-Grau (Independent Consultant)) July 15th 2014 Executive Summary Between 2008 and 2014, the Government of Nigeria implemented the Nigeria Evidence‐based Health System Initiative (NEHSI), with support from Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada (DFATD). NEHSI undertook activities to increase the generation and use of evidence for decision-making in Bauchi and Cross River states with the goal of strengthening the health care system to deliver effective, efficient and equitable primary health care (PHC). In 2012, the Evaluation Sub-Committee of NEHSI’s Project Advisory Committee commissioned this evaluation to explore NEHSI’s ‘proof of influence’ by examining its outcomes to answer two questions: Evaluation question 1: To what extent and how has NEHSI influenced the evidence-based planning and decision-making (through changes in knowledge use, capacity, habit, and governance processes) in the primary health care system in particular and in the health system in general at the individual, community, and institutional level (federal, Bauchi State, Cross River State, and local government areas (LGA))? Evaluation question 2: Sustainabilty: To what extent do the NEHSI outcomes achieved to date a) reinforce each other, and b) embody the principles of evidence-based planning and decision-making in the Nigerian primary health care system? The evaluation team, which was advised by IDRC and the Evaluation Sub-Committee, comprised two independent consultants and one IDRC-NEHSI Senior Advisor.

Like the compilation at the national level, State accounts statistics are based on the guidelines and recommendations set out in the System of National Accounts 2008 (SNA 2008). The System of National Accounts provides an internationally-recognised framework and a comprehensive set of concepts, definitions and classifications for national accounting. Additionally, other relevant guidelines adopted are the International Standard Industrial Classification of all Economic Activities (ISIC) as well as the Central Product Classification (CPC) system. States GDP compilation is important and useful for various purposes. First, it provides important information to support evidence-based policymaking. It also helps to identify key drivers of economic growth in each state and assess the performance of the state economy. Further, by revealing the structure of the state economy, the contribution of each state to the national output can be determined. Methodologically, National/State accounts describe all flows within a period between the economic units constituting the national /state economy and their stocks.

    International Journal of Engineering and Modern Technology ISSN 2504-8848 Vol. 1 No.8 2015 www.iiardpub.org An Overview of Lignocellulose in Twenty (20) Local Government Areas of Bauchi State 1Mustapha D. Ibrahim and 2Ahmad Abdurrazzaq 1Department of Chemical Engineering, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi, Bauchi State, Nigeria 2Department of Chemical Engineering Technology, Federal Polytechnic Mubi, Mubi, Adamawa State, Nigeria 1E-mail: [email protected], 2E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT In the past few decades, there has been an increasing research interest in the value of lignocellulosic material. Lignocellulose biomass abundant holds remarkable high potentials that will go a long way in solving environmental, domestic and industrial problems if harnessed. The overview looked into only six (6) types of lignocellulose which comprised of sugar cane bagasse, corn stover, groundnut shell, sorghum residue, millet residue, and rice straw in Bauchi State. Research method adopted was by analysis of variance and percentile. The quantity of lignocelluloses studied i.e. Sugarcane bagasse, corn stover, groundnut shell, millet residue, sorghum residue and rice straw were found to be (936.7; 539,079.9; 144,352.0; 784,419.5; 905,370.6; and 73,335.5) tones/annum respectively. However, lignocellulose as a source of bioenergy in form of ethanol, the findings further revealed the estimated quantity of ethanol from sugarcane bagasse, corn stover, rice straw, sorghum, groundnut shell and millet to be at 142,462.7; 78,317,527.9; 9,339,055.9; 147,973,770.9; 18,022,347.2; and 62,322,129.3 liters/annum respectively. Keywords: lignocellulose; production capacity; energy; biomass; Bauchi INTRODUCTION Bauchi State; a state located between latitudes 9° 3´ and 12° 3´ north and longitudes 8° 50´ and 11° 0´ in the north-eastern part of Nigeria has a total land area of 49,119 km2 representing about 5.3% of the country’s total land mass and extents two distinct vegetation zones, namely the Sudan savannah and the Sahel savannah.

  • Lagos State Poctket Factfinder
    HISTORY Before the creation of the States in 1967, the identity of Lagos was restricted to the Lagos Island of Eko (Bini word for war camp). The first settlers in Eko were the Aworis, who were mostly hunters and fishermen. They had migrated from Ile-Ife by stages to the coast at Ebute- Metta. The Aworis were later reinforced by a band of Benin warriors and joined by other Yoruba elements who settled on the mainland for a while till the danger of an attack by the warring tribes plaguing Yorubaland drove them to seek the security of the nearest island, Iddo, from where they spread to Eko. By 1851 after the abolition of the slave trade, there was a great attraction to Lagos by the repatriates. First were the Saro, mainly freed Yoruba captives and their descendants who, having been set ashore in Sierra Leone, responded to the pull of their homeland, and returned in successive waves to Lagos. Having had the privilege of Western education and christianity, they made remarkable contributions to education and the rapid modernisation of Lagos. They were granted land to settle in the Olowogbowo and Breadfruit areas of the island. The Brazilian returnees, the Aguda, also started arriving in Lagos in the mid-19th century and brought with them the skills they had acquired in Brazil. Most of them were master-builders, carpenters and masons, and gave the distinct charaterisitics of Brazilian architecture to their residential buildings at Bamgbose and Campos Square areas which form a large proportion of architectural richness of the city.
