Spatial Inequalities in Infrastructural Development in Plateau State, Nigeria
American International Journal of Contemporary Research Vol. 4, No. 7; July 2014 Spatial Inequalities in Infrastructural Development in Plateau State, Nigeria Adefila, J. O. PhD Senior Lecturer (Corresponding Author Department of Geography Ahmadu Bello University Zaria Nigeria Bulus, J. S. Department of Geography Ahmadu Bello University Zaria Nigeria Abstract The development processes often produce spatial contrast among regions such that some areas may appear to have more than their average share of the same facility and this is evident in developing countries where the urban centres usually have concentration of essential goods and services at the expense of their rural counterparts. The objective of the study is to examine the level of spatial dimension of inequalities in infrastructural development in Plateau State with a view to making a comparative analysis of the pattern of development. The primary data were collected through the administration of structured questionnaire among one thousand and twenty (1,020) randomly sampled population in the seventeen local government areas of Plateau State. Also, secondary data were generated from relevant ministries and agencies to authenticate data from questionnaire survey in Plateau State. The study employed standardized score (Z-score) analytical technique was for the analysis of data. The result revealed considerable inter-local government disparities in overall levels of infrastructural development in the study area. Among the upper third category that are most privileged areas include Jos Central (4.85), Jos North (4.49), Mangu (4.14), Shendam (2.59 and Pankshin (2.10). The middle third areas include Mikang (0.40), Quan ‘an Pam (0.05), Kanem (-0.16), Langtang South (-0.72) and Wase (-0.94). -
The Effects of Migration Patterns on the Language Ecology of Quan–Pan and Mikang Local Government Areas of Plateau State, Nigeria
The Effects of Migration Patterns on the Language Ecology of Quan–Pan and Mikang Local Government Areas of Plateau State, Nigeria. Philemon Victor Gomwalk, PhD, Department of Linguistics and Nigerian Languages, University of Jos, Jos, Nigeria. Abstract This paper outlines the relationship between oral traditions of migration in Quan-Pan and Mikang Local Government Areas of the Jos-Plateau region of Nigeria. With the help of local informants, oral traditional accounts of pre-colonial population movements were elicited, scrutinized, and synthesized, placing these side by side with the accounts of present-day socio-linguistic situation of population settlements and language usage in these two LGAs. Particular attention was given to a close survey and outlining of the current linguistic geography of the two areas vis-a-vis past traditional accounts of settlement history. Our survey revealed a few cases whereby speech varieties separated by difficult topography are found to share considerable measure of asymmetrical intelligibility. The survey also revealed the necessity to differentiate between intelligibility of two types, namely (a) intra-Local Government Area intelligibility, and (b) inter-Local Government Area intelligibility. Medium -to- high measures of bi-lateral intelligibility and comprehension were established between some minor languages within the borders of both Local Government Areas, irrespective of the particular native tongues used within respective home environments. Goemai and Hausa were reported and observed to be common languages of wider communication between groups of speakers without a first language in common, especially within the Local Government Area headquarters and other important commercial centers. Key Terms: Oral Traditions; Migration Patterns; Dialect Variants; Language Intelligibility; Intercommunal Relations. -
