Dr. I.P. Ifabiyi [email protected] Department of Geography and Environmental Management Faculty of Business and Social Science P.M.B 1515, University Of Ilorin, Ilorin. Kwara State, Nigeria. Mr. Kekere, A.A [email protected] Department of Art and Social Science, Unilorin Secondary School, University Of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria. Abstract The incessant failure of road network in Nigeria has generated a lot of concern by road users and government. Apart from lives and properties that are lost annually to road crashes, road rehabilitation across the country has become a financial burden to the federal government. Several factors have been identified to be responsible to road failure in Nigeria; they include geological, geomorphological, road usage, bad construction and wrong approach to maintenance. Hence, this paper examines some of the factors responsible for road failure along Ilorin-Ajase Ipo road, Kwara State Nigeria. Soil samples were collected from Five (5) portions of the road that are badly affected by road failure. These portions include: Agricultural and Rural Management Training Institute (ARMTI) 17+800km, Kabba Owode 18+00Km, Idofian 23+700Km, Koko 29+700Km and Omupo 35+700Km axis. The soil samples collected were analyzed four engineering properties: particle size distribution (PSD),atterberg limit, compaction test California Bearing Ratio (CBR).

  • Implications of Community Infrastructure Provision in the Development of Medium-Sized Towns in Kwara State Nigeria Adedayo, A
    Ethiopian Journal of Environmental Studies and Management EJESM Vol. 5 no.4 (Suppl.2) 2012 IMPLICATIONS OF COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE PROVISION IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MEDIUM-SIZED TOWNS IN KWARA STATE NIGERIA ADEDAYO, A. and *AFOLAYAN, G.P. http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/ejesm.v5i4.S23 Received 20th September 2012; accepted 1st November 2012 Abstract Infrastructure has been recognized as the crux of human settlement development. This paper therefore examines the implications of community provision of infrastructure in the development of medium – sized towns in Nigeria. Medium-sized towns are settlements with population size of between 5,000 and 20,000. Data were collected from both primary and secondary sources. The findings generally revealed a high level of community participation in the provision of such infrastructure as schools, electricity, roads, water, market stalls, health facilities, and town halls. However, variations exist among the medium – sized towns in the type and number of infrastructure provided by community action. Kendall’s Coefficient Concordance (W) used to test the degree of variations in ranks revealed a significant agreement in the ranking. Hierarchical Cluster Analysis used to classify the medium – sized towns based on infrastructure provision produced three classes. The general implication of this study is that, infrastructure provision by community action can lead to a balanced regional development as other smaller towns around the study emulate the action. Recognizing the role of small – sized towns in a balanced regional development process, government should encourage the people through the provision of financial support, machineries and technical know-how in the provision of infrastructure. This paper recommends the integration of community development plans with those of the local government towards achieving even development.

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.

  • Online Appendix to “Can Informed Public Deliberation Overcome Clientelism? Experimental Evidence from Benin”
    Online Appendix to “Can Informed Public Deliberation Overcome Clientelism? Experimental Evidence from Benin” by Thomas Fujiwara and Leonard Wantchekon 1. List of Sample Villages Table A1 provides a list of sample villages, with their experimental and dominant can- didates. 2. Results by Commune/Stratum Table A2.1-A2.3 presents the results by individual commune/stratum. 3. Survey Questions and the Clientelism Index Table A3.1 provides the estimates for each individual component of the clientelism index, while Table A3.2 details the questions used in the index. 4. Treatment Effects on Candidate Vote Shares Table A4 provides the treatment effect on each individual candidate vote share. 5. Estimates Excluding Communes where Yayi is the EC Table A5 reports results from estimations that drop the six communes where Yayi is the EC. Panel A provides estimates analogous from those of Table 2, while Panels B and C report estimates that are similar to those of Table 3. The point estimates are remarkably similar to the original ones, even though half the sample has been dropped (which explains why some have a slight reduction in significance). 1 6. Estimates Including the Commune of Toffo Due to missing survey data, all the estimates presented in the main paper exclude the commune of Toffo, the only one where Amoussou is the EC. However, electoral data for this commune is available. This allows us to re-estimate the electoral data-based treatment effects including the commune. Table A6.1 re-estimates the results presented on Panel B of Table 2. The qualitative results remain the same.

  • Indirect Exposure to Colonial Education and Intergenerational
    The Strength of Weak Ties: Indirect Exposure to Colonial Education and Intergenerational Mobility in Benin ⇤ Leonard Wantchekon† April 12, 2019 Abstract We use historical micro-level data from the first regional schools in colonial Benin to esti- mate the e↵ect of education on social mobility over three generations. Since school location and student cohorts were selected quasi-randomly, the e↵ect of education can be estimated by comparing the treated to the untreated living in the same village as well as those from villages with no school (Wantchekon et al. [2015]). We find positive treatment e↵ects of education on social mobility across three generations. Surprisingly, the e↵ect is strongest for descendants of grandparents who were exposed to education only through their social networks (the untreated living in villages with a school). We interpret this result as evidence of “the strength of weak ties” (Grannoveter [1977]). Finally, exploring the underlying mechanism of our results, we find that mobility from the first to the second generation is driven by parental aspiration, which is sustained by the risk attitudes and mobility of the third generation. ⇤This paper was prepared for the NYU Development Research Institute success project.

M. B. 2076 Yola, Adamawa State Nigeria ABSTRACT Policy formulation has failed to take cognizance of the fact that production and marketing constitute a continuum and that the absence of development in one retards progress in the other. The study analysed the concentration of yam markets in southern part of Adamawa and Taraba states. It specifically identified the degree of product differentiation, market information dissemination and determined the concentration of yam sellers in the markets. A total of 410 respondents comprising 210 retailers and 200 wholesalers were randomly sampled using simple random sampling techniques from six purposively selected yam markets namely, Ganye, Nadu and Tola markets in Adamawa State and Wukari, Sarkin-Kudu, and Chanchanjim markets, Taraba State. Descriptive statistics, Gini coefficient and Lorenz Curve were the analytical tools used. The common features used in yam differentiation were yam varieties and size or length and market information were majorly disseminated by means of personal contact (verbal message) and telephone (GSM). The Gini coefficient of 0.56 and 0.52 were obtained for wholesaling and retailing, respectively. The concentration of sales was high with high income inequality in yam wholesaling than retailing in the area.

  • Ground Water and River Quality Assessment for Some Heavy Metals and Physicochemical Parameters in Wukari Town, Taraba State, Nigeria M
    Ground Water and River Quality Assessment for Some Heavy Metals and Physicochemical Parameters in Wukari Town, Taraba State, Nigeria M. O. Aremu1, O. J. Oko1, C. Andrew1 1Department of Chemical Sciences, Federal University Wukari, PMB 1020, Wukari, Taraba State, Nigeria Abstract: With a few to assessing the qualities of water sources in Wukari local government area (LGA), a study was conducted on ground water and rivers in two settlements at Wukari LGA. For this purpose, some heavy metals (cadmium, lead, arsenic, iron, copper, mercury and manganese) and physicochemical parameters (temperature, turbidity, suspended solids, total dissolved solids, conductivity, pH, nitrate, phosphate, chloride, alkalinity, hardness and chemical/biochemical oxygen demand) were determined in water samples collected from hand–dug wells, boreholes and rivers in Puje and Avyi during wet and dry seasons using standard analytical techniques. The results showed that all the seven metals determined were detected and present at trace levels in all the water samples ranging from 0.001 ppm (Hg) in well and borehole to 0.0768 ppm (Fe) in river, and 0.001 ppm (Hg) in borehole to 0.0763 ppm (Fe) in river for Puje and Avyi, respectively. However, all the metals were found to have contained concentrations below the permissible safe level. The results further revealed that the levels of physicochemical parameters in the water samples for both wet and dry seasons are within the required standard limits set by World Health Organization (WHO) for drinking water. Nevertheless, source protection is recommended for the bodies of water for the benefit of Wukari people. Keywords: Hand–dug Well, Borehole, River, Physicochemical Parameter, Wukari Introduction applications, urban runoff, debris from erosion and Water covers more than 70% of the earth though only polluted surface water [4].
