This requirement is part of the recommendations of this report. However, the scope of this report is to develop a set of actions that are to be implemented as part of the Nigeria Urban Sector Water Reform Project (NUSWRP) to ensure that the existing dams supplying raw water to the participating State Water Boards operate safety. Therefore, the methodology used to determine what these actions should be was based on reviewing existing Dam Safety literature and other available technical reports from the participating state water agencies and river basin authorities, interviews of their key technical staff, followed by site inspections of a representative sample of the Dams in the list contained in Section 1.8 of this report, viz-a-viz, the Dam Safety Operational Policy 4.37 of the World Bank and the specific objectives and limitations of the proposed NUWSRP. The environmental issues associated with these dams and this project is also beyond the scope of this report and is addressed separately in the Environment and Social Management Framework (ESMF) for this project. 1.2 Brief Background of the Water Sector In Nigeria The problems facing the water supply sector in Nigeria are many, characterized by acute shortage of supply, even though Nigeria is blessed with abundant water resources estimated at 226 billion m3 of surface water and about 40 billion m3 of ground water. One projection of Nigeria's population estimates that it will reach the level of 338 million by the year 2050. If this estimate and other country estimates are correct, Nigeria would move from 10th most populous country in the world to the 4' most populous country in a short span of just under 50 years. For example, out of the 85 million people living in urban and peri-urban areas, less than half have reasonable water supply. Many households, often the poorest, end up purchasing water from private vendors at a much higher charge than from the public supply. Moreover, water supply services where they exist are unreliable and of low quality and are not sustainable because of difficulties in management, operation and pricing, and failure to recover costs. Also, many water supply systems show extensive deterioration and poor utilization of existing capacities, due to under-maintenance and lack of funds for operations. Additionally, the high cost of imported equipment especially in terms of a depreciating currency, and inadequate cost recovery policies have contributed to large financial deficits in many State Water Agencies (SWA's). This has left most SWA's dependent upon state subventions to finance operations and maintenance of their water systems, to service debt and to finance new investments. The Federal Govemment of Nigeria and the states are totally committed to address this problem. Water has a top priority in the govemment's development agenda, mainly due to the cross-cutting impact of safe water on health, productivity, and quality of life, with serious implications for poor and vulnerable communities. Therefore, the govemment of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is working to address these problems by recognizing the need to manage the water sector in an integrated and sustainable 3 circumstances fund the construction of new dams, large or small. However, the operations of the State Water Agencies (SWA's) depend either on the use of existing dams run, operated and owned by themselves, as in some states or as in other states by the River Basin Development Authority (RBDA) of that state, for one or a combination of the following functions: i) as a reservoir ii) to manage water flow and levels in rivers iii) provision of raw water to SWA's iv) Generation of Hydro-Electric power. 1.7 Applicability of the Banks Operational Policy OP 4.37, Safety of Dams The Bank may finance types of projects that do not include a new dam but will rely on the performance of an existing dam such as water supply systems that draw directly from a reservoir controlled by an existing dam, diversion dams or hydraulic structures downstream from an existing dam, where failure of the upstream dam could cause extensive damage to or failure of a new Bank-funded structure; and or irrigation or water supply projects that will depend on the storage and operation of an existing dam. Projects in this category also include operations that require increases in the capacity of an existing dam, or changes in the characteristics of the impounded materials, where failure of the existing dam could cause extensive damage to or failure of the Bank-funded facilities. Therefore, for participating SWA's that involve the use of existing dams as described above, the Bank requires that the FMWR arrange for one or more independent dam specialists to: (a) inspect and evaluate the safety status of the existing dams or their appurtenances, and its performance history; (b) review and evaluate the owner's operation and maintenance procedures; and (c) provide a written report of findings and recommendations for any remedial work or safety-related measures necessary to upgrade the existing dams to an acceptable standard of safety. The Bank may accept previous assessments of dam safety or recommendations or improvements needed in the existing dam if the FMWR provides evidence that; (a) an effective dam safety program is already in operation, and (b) full-level inspections and dam safety assessments of the existing dam, which are satisfactory to the Bank, have already been conducted and documented. As the state water agencies of the participating states rely on the provision of raw water from the management of several dams that either supply water directly to their water treatment plant and/or through controlled releases of water from the dams into the rivers upstream of raw water intake at the treatment plant, the Banks OP4.37, Safety of Dams, applies to this project. OP 4.37 Dam Safety requires the Federal Govemment of Nigeria (FRN) to prepare a Dam Safety Measures Report (i.e. this report) to address safe and sustainable management and operations of the Dams that will be supplying raw water to the participating state water boards. OP 4.37 also requires the FRN to include in the Dam Safety Measures report; other Dams 5 supplying raw water to the states that are not being financed in this project by the Bank directly, but are included in the project anyway, even though they are financed from other (non-bank) sources. This report and the Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) will be disclosed as separate and stand alone documents at the World Bank's infoshop and in Nigeria. The ESMF was disclosed before the project was appraised by the bank and this report will be disclosed before this project is presented to the Board of the Bank for approval. 1.8 List of Dams in Participating States KANO STATE Name of Dam Year Built Height (m) Reservoir (Mm ) SpillwayT Ado Bayero Audu Bako - Baguada 1970 21 22.14 Uncontrolled Birmin Kudu - 8 2 Bunga - - Challawa Gorge 1977 40 969 Uncontrolled Dogwala Dudurun Gaya - Garanga Gari 1980 22 214 Uncontrolled Gulka _ _ ._ Guzuguzu 1979 17 24.6 Box Culvert Hajiya Ladi Bako - _ __ Ibrahim Adamu 1974 9 8 Controlled _ggi_ - - Jakara 1976 14 65.2 Uncontrolled Kafia - _ - Kafin Chari 1977 16 31.1 Ogee Crest Kango - 15 8.73 Box Culvert Kara Chada - _ Kara Duwa - - _ Karaye 1971 15 17.2 Uncontrolled Katini - - .

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.

Physico-chemical parameters of the reservoir were sampled monthly from three stations (Feginma, Sakarma, and Turawa) for the period of six months (March to August, 2017) using standard methods. Potential fish yield estimates of the three sites were determined using the values of the Physico-chemical characteristics of the reservoir with the relationship Y=23.281 MEI 0.447 , where Y is the potential fish yield in Kg/ha, MEI is Morphoedaphic index (given in µS/cm) which was obtained by dividing mean conductivity of the reservoir by mean depth. The potential fish yield estimates of the three sites are 88.05, 98.56 and 111.12 Kg/ha.

  • Maintenance of Measles Control in Kano State, Nigeria
    The SEP Report, Volume IV, Number 2. Proceedings of the Seminar on Smallpox Eradication and Measles Control in Western and Central Africa. Lagos, Nigeria, May 13-20 1969. Part II. MAINTENANCE OF MEASLES CONTROL IN KANO STATE, NIGERIA R . B . Arnold' INTRODUCTION In September 1968, a pilot project was established in Kano State, Nigeria, for the "Maintenance" phase of the Smallpox Eradication and Measles Control Programme . This followed the mass campaign which was conducted between April and July 1968 . Kano State was chosen for this pilot project because it was the first of the Northern States to have completed the "attack " phase of the programme . In addition, Kano State was considered a focal point in the epidemiology of smallpox in Northern Nigeria. The population in Kano State is estimated to be 5 .7 million, with 0 .5 million residing in Kano City itself . Rural Kano State is a heavily populated (133 .6 persons per sq. km .), predominantly groundnut growing area . Kano City, which is the biggest city in Northern Nigeria, as well as the commercial and transport centre, has a large transient population . Resident are many non-Hausa traders, travellers and government employees along with many rural workers who come to Kano City at the end of the har- vest season to look for work. MAINTENANCE PROGRAMME In November 1968, the Kano State Epidemic Control Unit was organized with the stated purpose of "administering both measles and smallpox vaccine to the children entering the population, thus eliminating the prime source of susceptibles " . It was decided that the first cycle of maintenance vaccinations would be of the "mass campaign type " , i .e .

  • The History and Future of Water Management of the Lake Chad Basin in Nigeria
    143 THE HISTORY AND FUTURE OF WATER MANAGEMENT OF THE LAKE CHAD BASIN IN NIGERIA Roger BLEN" University of Cambridge Abstract The history of water management in Nigeriahas been essentially a history of large capital projects, which have ofkn been executed without comprehensive assessments of either the effects on downstream users or on the environment.In the case ofthe Chad basin, the principal river systems bringing waterto the lake are the Komadugu Yobeand Ngadda systems. The Komadugu Yobe, in particular, has ben impounded at various sites, notably Challawa Gorge and Tiga, and further dams are planned, notably at Kafin Zaki. These have redud the flow to insignificant levels near the lake itself. On the Ngadda system, the Alau dam, intended for urban water supply, has meant the collapse of swamp farming systems in the Jere Bowl area northmt of Maiduguri without bringing any corresponding benefits. A recent government-sponsored workshop in Jos, whose resolutions are appended to the paper, has begun to call into question existing waterdevelopment strategies andto call for a more integrated approach to environmental impact assessment. Keywords: water management, history, environment, Lake ChadBasin, Nigeria.

Application of nitrogen fertilizer significantly (P≤ 0.05) affected number of fruits plant-1, average fruit weight, marketable fruit yield and fruit yield hectare-1 at both locations but did not significantly affect chlorophyll content (μg), leaf area, number of cracked fruits, blossom end rot and non-marketable fruit yield. Varietal differences were significant on leaf area and chlorophyll content at Bagauda. Number of fruit plant-1, average fruit weight, number of cracked fruits, marketable fruit yield and yield hectare-1 were significant (P≤ 0.05) at BUK. No significant differences (P≤ 0.05) were observed among the varieties for leaf area, blossom end rot and non-marketable fruit yield at Bagauda.
