Soremekun Market Study and Project Scouting Nigeria 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT As part of this study, the researchers have conducted interviews and communicated with over 70 persons from different government agencies, non-governmental organisations and the private sector (GenCos, DisCos, financiers, relevant experts, power project developers and agri-food sector companies). More than 40 companies active in the agri-food sector have been visited, often multiple times. We would like to express our gratitude to all those that have cooperated in this study as their input has been very important to the outcome of this report. Special thanks goes to Godwin Eni Aigbokhan, Renewable Energy Market Adviser of the National Competitiveness Council of Nigeria and focal point for the RECP. Godwin was involved in many interviews and field visits. The researchers also would like to thank the RECP team for their flexibility and providing their suggestions on how to improve the outcome of this study. NOTES FROM THE AUTHORS The information in this report is based on interviews, site visits and desk- and literature research. Finding recent and reliable data in Nigeria is challenging. The researchers therefore had to use many different data sources with often different time frames and units. Combining these sources provided new insights but also raised new questions, especially in relation to reliability of the gathered data. Some data was not available, e.g. energy demand for the different manufacturing sectors (especially the agri-food sector) or the amount of self-generated captive power in Nigeria. The researchers had to use combinations of old and recent, direct and indirect data and extrapolations to be able to provide an estimate for these figures. The information in chapter six of this report is based on quality sources and is accurate at the time of writing (2016). However, the Nigerian energy sector is still in development and processes, procedures, timelines, fees and the likes are subject to change. Moreover, more than one respondent indicated that there are hidden obstacles and processes. Therefore, for any entity intending to set up a power project in Nigeria it would be wise to liaise with relevant experts who can use their insider knowledge and relationships to ensure all necessary steps at that point of time are indeed taken.

    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 9, Issue 5, May-2018 2008 ISSN 2229-5518 Locational Analysis of Primary Health Facilities in Ikorodu Local Government Area of Lagos State using Multimedia GIS Approach By Akinpelu, A.A., Ojiako, J.C., Amusa, I.A. & Akindiya, O.M. ABSTRACT Health care services deal with diagnosis and treatment of disease or the promotion, maintenance and restoration of health. The locational analysis of Primary Health Centres in Ikorodu Local Government Area of Lagos State was examined using Multimedia GIS approach. The study adopted GIS and Remote Sensing methods to look into the locations of these Primary Health care centres spread across the local government area. Geospatial database of the facilities was designed and created from where analyses were performed. Primary and secondary data types were used. The primary data are the X,Y coordinates of the Primary Health Centres while the secondary data were the administrative maps of the study area. The analyses included spatial queries, attributes queries and hyperlink that involved linking the spatial data with the pictures and audio files in the database done with ArcGIS 10.3. The spatial query showed that 5 wards have no PHC, 10 wards have 1 each, 5 wards have 2 each and 1 ward has three PHCs. The attribute query showed that 9 PHCs are located via good roads, 8 via fair roads and 6 via bad roads. Linking the picture and audio files were possible by using field-based hyperlinks and defining a dynamic hyperlink using the Identify tool. The aim and objectives of the study were achieved and recommendations were made in line with the findings.

    Responses to Information Requests - Immigration and Refugee Board of... https://www.irb-cisr.gc.ca/en/country-information/rir/Pages/index.aspx?... Nigeria: Badoo cult, including areas of operation and activities; state response to the group; treatment of Badoo members or alleged members (2016-December 2019) 1. Overview Nigerian media sources have reported on the following: "'Badoo Boys'" (The Sun 27 Aug. 2019); "Badoo cult" (Vanguard with NAN 2 Jan. 2018; This Day 22 Jan. 2019); "Badoo gang" (Business Day 9 July 2017); "Badoo" (Vanguard with NAN 2 Jan. 2018). A July 2017 article in the Nigerian newspaper Business Day describes Badoo as "[a] band of rapists and ritual murderers that has been wreaking havoc on residents of Ikorodu area" of Lagos state (Business Day 9 July 2017). The article adds that [t]he Badoo gang’s reign of terror has reportedly spread throughout Lasunwon, Odogunyan, Ogijo, Ibeshe Tutun, Eruwen, Olopomeji and other communities in Ikorodu. Their underlying motivation seems to be ritualistic in nature. The gang members are reported to wipe their victims’ private part[s] with a white handkerchief after each rape for onward delivery to their alleged sponsors; slain victims have also been said to have had their heads smashed with a grinding stone and their blood and brain soaked with white handkerchiefs for ritual purposes. Latest reports quoted an arrested member of the gang to have told the police that each blood-soaked handkerchief is sold for N500,000 [Nigerian Naira, NGN] [approximately C$2,000]. (Business Day 9 July 2017) A 2 January 2018 report in the Nigerian newspaper Vanguard provided the following context: It all started after a suspect, described by some residents of Ikorodu area as a "serial rapist and ritual killer," was arrested at Ibeshe.

INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND The Farmer’s needs and problems were highlighted statewide during the Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) that was conducted on a zonal basis in November, 2015. Farmers’ Representatives, Subject Matter Specialists, Extension Agents and their Supervisors, Input Dealers, PM& E Officers and representatives of Agricultural institutions in each block participated in the Rural Appraisal. Thus, the Extension Programme for the year 2016 was centered on the Community- Based Participatory Group Approach towards extension services delivery. The Calendar of MTRM and FNT topics for the year was selected based on the PRA report and were subsequently approved. The component continued the dissemination of technical messages on the popularization of new cassava varieties for better yield i.e. TMS98/0518, Use of dietary garlic powder (allium sativum) inclusion in the diets of clarias gariepinus, processing method of fresh ginger paste on the shelf-life of smoked fish e.t.c . This year, the component introduced various new technologies to farmers in the state such as Popularization on the use of rice offal inclusion in the diets of growing pigs, use of supplementary rations for growth performance in goats. E.t.c. Extension activities during the year 2016 picked up through the various needs of farmers, their receptiveness as well as resources that were made available to the Component. This ensured qualitative adoption of these messages at a sustainable level.

This was with a view to delineating the subsoil sequence and determining the engineering properties. The investigation involved three shell and auger boring and seven Vertical Electrical Soundings (VES) using the Schlumberger electrode array. Analysis of results of the boring lithological logs indicates occurrence of four major layers composed of clay, organic clay, silty sandy clay and sandy deposits to about 40 m depth. Results of the in-situ and laboratory tests reveal that the silty-sandy soils are characterized by low N-values that range from 5 to 15, while the clayey soils are characterized by high void ratio of 1.73 and low Cu values of 22 kN/m20 with 4 indicating the poor strength and highly compressible nature of the subsoil sequence. The electrical resistivity survey results show good correlation with boring logs and further indicated occurrence of a highly resistive (>1000 ohm-m) basal sandy deposit beyond the boring probe to appreciable depth of over 80 m.
