MINING OF SOLID MINERALS IN NIGER STATE INVESTOR ROAD MAP OF SOLID MINERAL RESOURCES In Niger State, the geological location endows it with mineral resources. The state boasts of commercial quantity of large mineral deposit like gold, talc, kaolin, tantalite, granite, marble, copper and lead. Considering the importance of this sector, the State Government established Mineral of Mining and Solid minerals for effective and efficient exploration of these resources. The State is open to partnership in areas of exploration and processing. According to officials of the ministry of Mining and Mineral Resources, there is no L.G.A in the state that does not have one or more deposits of solid minerals. Below is a tabular presentation of the solid minerals deposits in the state: S/N Mineral Location Remarks Type/Quality 1 Gold (22-24 Available in all LGAs Exploration in locations in Minna, carrat) Kontagora, Rafi, Paikoro, Magama, Shiroro, Gurara LGAs 2 Talc (Si02 Rafi (Kamunu), Shiroro Kamunu deposit has been acquired by 63.5%)-41 (Yarada-Erena) & Ontagora Kagara Talc processing &Crystal Talc million (Tungan Bako) Ltd Kaduna metric stons Lgas 3 Kyanite Rafi LGA (Assaya, Masuku & 63,600 million tons in Assaya, 13.1MT Guda Hills, Maguda), Shiroro in Masuku hill, 20.203MT in Guda hill, LGA(Agolo &Kuta) 145.24MT in Maguga.

The principal implementers of mining laws are the Federal Ministry of Mines & Steel Development (FMMSD) and its departments and organs. There are also professional Bodies & Associations that regulate the industry and ensure compliance. The FMMSD is responsible for the issuance of Mining lease, Quarry lease and other exploration permits and licenses. The Ministry of Petroleum through the DPR is also responsible for issuance of Oil prospecting License. Federal Government agencies with offices in the State that facilitates investment into the solid minerals sector are: 1. The Federal Ministry of Mining & Steel Development. 2. National Environmental Standards Regulation & Enforcement Agency (NESREA) MDAs that potential investors in solid minerals sector in Niger State must relate with are: 1. The Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment for Registration, Facilitation & Guidance. 2. The Ministry of Mines & Steel Development for Information & Technical Assistance. 3. Ministry of Environment for Environmental Impact Assessment Registration and any other environmental issues through NISEPA and the OSIC. The State Government can only create enabling environment and collect fees levies towards assisting in developing the communities and the State. The principal current legislation for the mining industry is the Mineral & Mining 2011 as amended. CONSTRUCTION SECTOR The location of Niger State in Central Nigeria and its proximity to Abuja, Nigeria’s capital territory has made it a nerve centre for construction activities. The creation of the State coincided with the creation of a new capital territory Abuja. These two major developments brought to a sharp rise in construction activities and other activities in the construction value- chair. CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES IN THE STATE CAN BE GROUPED UNDER THE FOLLOWING HEADINGS: 1. Housing Development 2. Road Construction 3. Infrastructural Development like Drainages, Dams, Bridges, Electricity Installations. 4. Water Resources Development (See table in Annex 8) 5. Tourism Development. 6. Construction of Government offices and administrative structures 7. Manufacturing & Fabrication of construction materials and components. 8. Sales of Construction materials HOUSING DEVELOPMENT: The need for housing in the state has been on the rise state creation. This is due largely to the rural-urban drift. The State has remained attracting middle and low income earners who work in the Federal Capital City but cannot accommodate. Most of these income earners live in towns of Suleja,Madalla,Sabon Wuse, Diko,Garam etc.Considering their proximity to their places of work. Niger State Government in order to take advantage of its proximity to Abuja has designed and commences the provision of infrastructure under a PPP arrangement at Garam, Suleja and Diko encourage rapid and orderly development of the area.

Incidence of trypanosomes among White Fulani and Sokoto Gudali breeds of cattle in Niger state, Nigeria JY Adama*, A Usman, R Maigida & R.A. Adeyemi Department of Animal Production Federal University of Technology, P.M.B. 65, Minna, Niger state. *Correspondence: Tel.: 08057058455, email: [email protected] Abstract The incidence of trypanosomes was investigated among cattle herds of white Fulani and Sokoto Gudali breeds in six out of twenty five Local Government Areas of Niger State within a period of six months covering May - October, 2007. Blood samples from 300 heads of cattle selected randomly from the Fulani herds were screened for Trypanosomes using a thin blood smear and haematocrit centrifugation techniques at the State Veterinary Centre, Bosso, Minna. The result revealed that the white Fulani breeds of cattle had higher incidence of Trypanosomes compared to Sokoto Gudali breeds representing 38.2 and 28.2% for white Fulani and Sokoto Gudali breeds respectively with an overall incidence of 6.3 %. It is clearly evident that the study area is endemic for trypanosomosis as such, effective control programme by way of prophylactic treatment is recommended. Keywords: Niger state, Sokoto Gudali, Trypanosomes, White Fulani Introduction of the semi-nomadic fulanis out of Lere Local Trypanosomes are microorganisms that belong to the Government Area in Kaduna State during the raining protozoan group. They are flagellated protozoan that season (Abenga et aI., 2000).

Common consumption goods have eluded majority of the less privileged Nigerians. In cognizance of this, aggrieved youths take up arms in agitation for a fair share of the wealth that accrued to the federal government from the natural endowments of their local communities. The Borgu resettled communities are not exonerated from the politics of neglect and deprivations other regions are amplifying to the global community. Borgu produces electricity, but they do not have light, no quality schools, good access roads and efficient health facilities in spite of the sacrifices they make for national development. The paper recommended among others that good roads, electricity, health facilities and schools be provided for the people of Borgu.

  • Historical Origin and Customary Land Tenancy of Rural Community in Nigeria

    Historical Origin and Customary Land Tenancy of Rural Community in Nigeria

    専修大学社会科学研究所 月報 No.684 2020 年 6 月 Historical origin and customary land tenancy of rural community in Nigeria Regina Hoi Yee Fu Introduction This paper is a record of the historical origin and customary land tenancy of the agricultural villages in Nigeria, West Africa. The ethnic group of the people concerned are the Nupe, which is the most dominant ethnic group in Niger State of Nigeria. The research was conducted in the area locates on the so-called “Middle Belt” which stretches across central Nigeria longitudinally between the eighth and the twelfth parallels north. The Middle Belt is populated largely by minority ethnic groups and is characterized by a heterogeneity and diversity of peoples and cultures. In the Niger State, the other major ethnic groups apart from the Nupe are the Hausa, the Gwari, the Fulani and the Kumuka. Literature concerning the rural Nupe community are very rare (Nadel, 1942, 1954; Forde, 1955; Masuda, 2002). The contents of this paper are mainly based on the information gathered by direct observation and unstructured interviews with local people during interrupted fieldwork conducted between 2004 and 2009. This paper aims to fill the information gap about the rural society in Nigeria, as information about the society of this country has been limited due to prolonged political instability since the 1980s. Research Area The area in which I conducted fieldwork for this paper is the “Cis-Kaduna” region of the Bida Emirate of the Niger State. Niger State locates on the central-north geopolitical zone of Nigeria1. The drainage of the state is dominated by the Niger River which forms its southern boundary.

  • Psychological Determinations of Child

    Psychological Determinations of Child

    European Journal of Educational and Development Psychology Vol.6, No.4, pp.29-35, October 2018 ___Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) PSYCHOLOGICAL DETERMINATIONS OF CHILD ABUSE AMONG PARENTS IN KONTAGORA EMIRATE OF NIGER STATE, NIGERIA Aliyu Mohammed (Ph.D) Department of Physical and Health Education, Federal College of Education, Kontagora. ABSTRACT: The study examined psychological determination of child abuse among parents in Kontagora Emirate of Niger State. A descriptive survey research design was employed. A random sampling technique was used to select subject from the parents and a total of 400 parents were selected for the study. 170 were males, 230 were females, 120 were Christians while 280 were Muslim inclination, 260 were public servants and 140 were self-employed parents. The instrument used for the study was a self-developed structured Psychological Determinant of Child Abuse (PDCA) with reliability index of 0.76. It was revealed that stress, tension, frustration, the child’s behaviour as well as parents’ relationship are factors responsible for child abuse among others. Recommendations were made as to how parents should be taught child and home management techniques and skills. KEYWORDS: Child Abuse, Parents, Emirate, Kontagora, Psychological Determination INTRODUCTION Child abuse is the maltreatment of children. Helter and Kempe (1996) described an abused child as any child who receives non-accidental physical injury as a result of acts or omissions on the part of his parents or guardians. This description of an abused child recognizes the vulnerability of the child and the responsibility placed on child’s caretaker.
