JAPAN INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AGENCY YACHIYO ENGINEERING CO., LTD. PREFACE Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) decided to conduct the preparatory survey on the project for Improvement of Rural Water Supply in the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and organized a survey team headed by Hiroshi Nakamura of Yachiyo Engineering Co., Ltd. between June, 2010 to February, 2011. The survey team held a series of discussions with the officials concerned of the Government of Nigeria, and conducted a field investigations. As a result of further studies in Japan, the present report was finalized. I hope that this report will contribute to the promotion of the project and to the enhancement of friendly relations between our two countries. Finally, I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the officials concerned of the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for their close cooperation extended to the survey team. February, 2011 Shinya Ejima Director General, Global Environment Department Japan International Cooperation Agency SUMMARY Summary ① Overview of Country The Federal Republic of Nigeria (hereinafter called Nigeria) faces the Gulf of Guinea in the central West Africa and borders Niger, Chad, Cameroon and Benin, having a population of 140 million (2007, according to the National Census Data) and an area of 923,700 km2 .The GDP per capita of Nigeria is US$ 2,133(IMF,2007). Nigeria was one of the most productive agricultural countries in Africa exporting a wide variety of farm products. However, following the discovery of petroleum in the latter part of the 1960s, it adopted an economic structure dependent on oil revenues. Moreover, due to repeated civil strife and coups surrounding the petroleum reserves, the domestic political situation has remained unstable and little progress has been made on mitigating poverty and developing infrastructure. ② Background of Project The Government of Nigeria formulated “National Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy: NEEDS” in May 2004, which is regarded as Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper. It stressed development of various sectors in order to become one of the most developed 20 countries of the world by 2020 through economic development. Water supply sector is raised as a priority sector, and it is eventually intended to supply safe water to all the people by 2011. However, the ratio of people with access to safe water declined from 49% in 1990 to 48% in 2004 due to population increase, etc. The ratio is especially low in rural areas at 31% compared to 68% in the cities in 2004. There is an urgent need to secure safe water supply because many people drink surface water and puddle water with risk of water-borne diseases. With above background, Government of Nigeria requested Grant Aid Project of Japan. The requested project consists of procurement of equipment and materials for borehole drilling for thirteen states. ③ Summary of Survey and Content of the Project Responding to the request by the Government of Nigeria, the Government of Japan dispatched the Preparatory Survey Team form 13th June 2010 to 7th July 2010 for implementation of the field survey in ten candidates States excluding three States with security problem. During the field survey, JICA Survey Team examined the content, necessity and appropriateness of implementation of the Grant Aid Project. After the first filed survey in Nigeria, JICA Survey team went back to Japan and selected the prioritized states based on the result of the analysis on the data and information collected in the filed survey. JICA dispatched the Preparatory Survey Team again to Nigeria from 7th August to 24th September 2010. Japanese side and Nigerian side agreed on the five prioritized States; Kebbi, Niger, Taraba, Ondo and Enugu. After the agreement, JICA Survey Team implemented the second filed survey in the five prioritized States. After the second field survey in Nigeria, the JICA Survey Team analyzed the collected data and information in Japan and examined necessity, appropriateness, social and economic efficiency of the Project. As results of analysis, JICA Survey Team complied Draft Final Report. JICA Survey Team was dispatched to Nigeria form 8th January to 16th January 2011 to explain draft Final Report to Nigerian side. Based on the discussion between Japanese side and Nigerian side in the meeting above, the Final Report was completed. Content of the Project consists of provision of i) equipment for borehole construction, ii) materials for construction of water supply facilities and iii) soft component. It was confirmed by Japanese side and Nigerian side that Nigerian side would construct water supply facilities including siting of borehole drilling points. Outline of equipment and materials to be procured is shown in Table-1, which was proposed based on discussion between Japanese side and Nigerian side. i Table-1 Outline of Equipment and Materials for Procurement Contents of Equipment and Materials Quantity 1. Drilling Equipment (1) Drilling rig Kebbi :1 Niger :1 unit (2) High pressure air compressor Taraba :1 Ondo :1 (3) Cargo truck with crane Enugu :1 2.

Technical support for strengthening of operation and maintenance system of rural water supply facilities. ④ Project implementation schedule and rough cost estimate Responsible Organization of the Project is the Federal Ministry of Water Resources (FMWR), and the Implementing Agencies are RUWASSA/WATSAN Project of the five target States (Kerbbi, Niger, Taraba, Ondo and Enugu). Necessary period for the Project implementation by Japan’s Grant Aid is estimated 24 months for procurement of equipment and materials (including 6 months for implementation of soft component) and 24 months for construction of water supply facilities by Nigerian side, namely 48 month in total. The Project cost by Nigerian side is 0.319 billion Nigerian Naira. This estimated amount does not mean upper limit of provision in Exchange of Note (E/N). Main obligation of Nigerian side is construction of water supply facilities including siting of borehole drilling points by implementation of geophysical survey. Budget for implementation of rural water supply project must be secured, and the Implementing Agencies must be maintained with sufficient capability in institutional and technical aspects, in order to increase water supply coverage for providing rural residents with safe water in the target States, using procured equipment and materials ii by the Project. ⑤ Appropriateness of the Project 500 water supply facilities with hand pump boreholes will be constructed in two years after the procurement of equipment and materials by the Project, and safe water will be provided to 132,000 persons in the Project area from the constructed boreholes. Continuously, the Implementing Agencies of the five target States will continue borehole construction using the procured equipment and materials after completion of 500 boreholes. The Implementing Agencies will complete 750 boreholes between three and five year after the procurement of the equipment and material, providing 198,000 rural residents with safe water. Furthermore, capability the Implementing Agencies will be improved by the implementation of soft component by the Project for i) formulation of borehole construction plan, data management and equipment maintenance and ii) strengthening of operation and management system of water supply facilities. As a result of the soft component by the Project, staff of the Implementing Agencies will be able to manage borehole construction work more effectively and complete borehole inventory for effective use. And skill for equipment maintenance will be improved. Furthermore, residents of the target communities will be able to operate and maintain water supply facilities with the support from the Implementing Agency. It is expected that outbreak of water born disease such as diarrhea, cholera and dysentery will be reduced by the provision of safe water by the Project. Moreover, water supply facilities constructed in the Project will relieve the residents of the communities

    COLONIALISM, URBANISATION AND THE GROWTH OF ONITSHA, 1857-1960 *Mmesoma N. Umeagudosi and Amarachi C. Obidiaju Abstract There is no gainsaying that colonialism changed the patterns of urbanisation in Africa. What this means is that there were existing patterns of urbanisation in most African communities before colonial incursions and these have inspired scholarly researches of various depth and volumes. Considering an identified problem in African historiography, which tends to give minimal attention to the exigencies that led to changes in patterns of urbanisation in particular African communities, this paper adopts the historical research method, with effective use of primary, secondary and tertiary sources of data that were subjected to qualitative interpretation, to document and analyse the processes of urbanisation in Africa since colonial incursion, with the commercial city of Onitsha as a study area. The study observes that urbanisation in Onitsha was not necessarily an impact of colonialism. Instead, the colonial administration only effected changes on the pattern of urbanisation in the city. Such changes were precipitated by the colonial economic policies, which among other things, used the inland waterways as effective transport facility for primary produce extracted from the various produce centres around the Niger River. However, other factors of change encouraged rapid urbanisation of Onitsha during colonialism in Nigeria. A conspicuous factor is colonial administrative measures, which saw to the establishment of Onitsha

Africans themselves participated actively in p la n tin g , sustaining and propagating the faith. These Africans can clearly be grouped into two: first, those who were ordained ministers of the church, and secondly, the lay members.

Multi-stage and Purposive sampling procedure was used to select 60 respondents which constituted the sample size of the study. Data were obtained through the use of a structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics such as frequency counts and percentages, and inferential statistics such as correlation and z-test procedure were employed for analyses of data. Findings indicated that majority of the respondents (81.67%) were at their youthful age of 16 to 45 years old. The highest household size obtained was between 4 and 9 persons per household. Majority of the respondents in the study area (53.33%) were small scale farmers and had below 6 hectares of rice farm land. Poor living conditions, low influx of income and lack of employment were the most important reasons for rural-urban migration as confirmed by the respondents in Enugu State (65.00%). In the study area, 62.68% migrated to the urban areas. A larger proportion of the respondents (60.00%) indicated that between 4 and 9 household members participated in the rice production activities.

P.1; EZEH C. C2. ; OKONKWO A. C3. 1,2,3(Department of Geology and Mining, Enugu state University of science and Technology, Enugu State, Nigeria. West Africa). [email protected] Abstract: Geoelectrical sounding to determine the groundwater prospect in Awgu and its environs has been carried out. The study area lies within longitudes 007025’E and 0070 35’E and latitudes 06002’N and 06017’N with an area extent of 513sqkm. The area is underlain by two lithostratigraphic units, Awgu Shale and Owelli Sandstone. A total of ninety five (95) Vertical Electrical Soundings (VES) was acquired employing the Schlumberger electrode array configuration, with a maximum electrode separation ranging from 700m to 800m. Data analysis was done using a computer program RESOUND to generate the layer apparent resistivity, thickness and depth. A maximum of eight (8) layer resistivity were generated in each sounding point with a depth range of 50m to 356m. From the interpreted VES data layer 6, 7, and 8 are possible target for prospective aquifer horizons. Interpreted geoelectric layers show a sequence of shale/sand – shale sand – sand. Various contour maps were constructed using surfer 10 contouring program- Iso resistivity, Isochore (depth), Isopach (thickness), Longitudinal conductance and transverse resistance to show variation of parameters in the study area.
