The accounts p-ablished in the Blue Book lor 1911 are lor the financial year which ended on the 31st ol March last. In former yean, in reporting on the Protectorate it has been customary to give the latest possible information with regard to the financial position, and following on that precedent it is proposed in this section of the report on the work of the year to use the figures which have just become available lor the financial year which ended on the 31st ol March. 1912. BBV&ITOB AND ExPBKi>mr»i5. The revenue of the Protectorate during the years ended March 31st, 1911, and Match 31st, 1912, was : — 1910-11. 1911-12. £ £ Local and Internal Bevenue 274,889 646,291 Contribution from Southern Nigeria ... 70,000 70,000 Imperial Grant for Interest on Railway Loan ... ... ... ... ... 46,000 60,600 Imperial Grant for Bailway working Open Lines ... ... ... ... 48,774 229,000 237,384 £619,989 £952,049 In the latter year the revenue and expenditure on account of the native administration was included and consequently, in order to arrive at the true increase in the local revenue, it is necessary to deduct that amount from the apparent increase. £ £ The apparent increase shown above is ... 332,060 The Native Administration share of Bevenue was 196,925 There was, on account of Bailway work­ ing, an increase in the Imperial Grant- in-A id of 61,758 258,683 The increase of local revenue for general Government purposes over 1910-11 ex­ cluding the Native Administration share, was therefore £73,377 Of this increase the Land Bevenue accounted for £37,451. The total revenue was £168,330 more than was anticipated. The actual receipts from Land Tlevenue exceeded the estimate by £100,424. Three other heads of revenue contributed largely to this excess. They were:—Customs, with an excess of £6,038; Mines, with an excess of £13,049; and Bailway earnings, with an excess of £33,559. Appended are comparative statements of revenue and expendi­ ture for the past two years. In viewing these it must be remem- bored that* an lias been stated, the native share of revenue and expenditure was included in the total of Land Bevenue for the first time m the 1W1-12 accounts. While there was u large increase in the actual j*cei}*ts over that estimated, there was also an increase in the actual mm Urn estimated expenditure, but this excess is more than a counted for by the increase of £44,826 in the Native Administration share corresponding to that in the Government share. If the Native share is occluded from both revenue and expendi­ ture it is found that there was a net excess of revenue over estimate of £128,604 and a decrease on estimated expenditure of £10,848.

In 1902-3 the revenue fell short of the expenditure by no less than £339,076, while in 191142 the revenue collected was within £212,647 of tiie expenditure. The Imperial Grant-in-aid in 1908-04 was £406,000, while in the yew under review the grant on account of ordinary services was only £237,384. The financial position on the 31st of March. 1912, was: ~~ £ Balance brought forward on 1st April, 1911... 95,323 Add excess of Bevenue over Expenditure in the year 1911-12 ... 134,363 Actual balance available on 31st March, 1912 £229,676 II.—TRADE AND CUSTOMS. The foreign trade of Northern Nigeria has grown to consider­ able proportions during the past few years, and although, as was stated in the Report for 1910, it is not possible to" give the exact figures of previous years the statistics supplied are sufficient to vshow that there has been a considerable increase. The actual value of goods imported by commercial firms during 1911 was £695,435, of which £409,277 was conveyed up the river and entered Northern Nigeria by way of Idah. During 1910 the value so imported was £258,600. The following items are the principal factors in this increase: — 1910. 1911. £ £ Bags and sacks ... ... ... 4,650 6,782 Provisions ... ... ... ... 13|660 14,263 Specie ... ... ... ... — 47,600 Sugar ... ... ... ... 6,160 6,662 Cotton goods ... ... ... 107,200 178,467 Hardware ... ... ... ... ' 6,700 7,794 Coal ... ... 5,269 24,276 Iron and Steel goods (un- enumerated) ... ... ... 2,454 22,676 The value of the total exports from the Protectorate during 1911 was £836,268; of this amount £836,164 was the value of exports by commercial firms. The exports vift the Niger were valued at £594,083, against an export value of £808,700 during 1910. The principal articles which caused this increase were: — 1910. 1911. £ £ Tin oxide 103,350 189,174 Rubber 37,900 53,511 Potash 8,060 12,951 liive stock 3,760 6,367 Benniseed 2,300 2,636 Curios 169 4,730 Gutta percha 2,262 6,694 Hides ... ... ... ... 606 3,3%' Skins dressed ... 4,609 8,177 Ostrich feathers 2,616 7,224 There wis a falling off in the export by this route of shea butter, palm kernels, and gum, but there is no doubt that the trade has been diverted to the Lagos Railway, There was a falling off in the export By Idah of cotton lint, but this is also accounted for by the opening up of the railway route to the coast.

  • Geographic Information System Approach in Evaluating Security Challenges to Critical Infrastructures
    GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM APPROACH IN EVALUATING SECURITY CHALLENGES TO CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURES A. N. Jatong, PhD Department of Surveying and Geoinformatics, Federal Polytechnic Mubi PMB 35, Mubi, Adamawa state, Nigeria E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In the past, criminality was a taboo and almost everybody franked at it and thus security challenges were so minimal or non-existent. Unfortunately it has now become a means of livelihood or a means to address disagreements where lives as well as critical infrastructures are destroyed mindlessly. While there are recognized occasional natural security challenges such as volcanic eruptions, Hurricane Katrina among others, most frequent security challenges are man-made organized and executed with cut edge professionalism and sophistication. Conventional methods and hence measures of monitoring and addressing various man-made security challenges have in the past been adopted by security operatives but criminals have always responded with sophisticated countermeasures and overwhelming successes maiming and massively in most cases destroying badly needed critical infrastructures. The intention of this research is to adopt Geographic Information System (GIS) approach, a real- time and speedy as well as reliable approach to address real-time security challenges to lives and critical infrastructures. In this method the study area was subdivided into geographic cells and an evaluation on each cell from some chosen observation posts were analyzed in a GIS environment to establish intervisibility to identified target location(s) which includes human habitations, critical infrastructures among others. Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) Digital Elevation Model (DEM) was used as the platform for Line-Of-Sight (LOS) and Viewshed Analysis (VA).Observation points were selected on both high and lowlands.

This problem is becoming intensified with the rapid rate of global population growth and unprecedented urbanisation. More worrisome is the fact that this phenomenon has translated into urbanisation of poverty. This study aimed at mapping poverty and deprivation in Barikin Sale neighbourhood of Minna, Nigeria; and the objectives are to obtain the base map of the study area, acquire data on household deprivation in the study area, assess the rate of deprivation in the neighbourhood and produce poverty maps of the study area. Barikin Sale was subdivided into 10 small areas which were termed sub-neighbourhoods which form the units of analysis and mapping. Ten households were randomly sampled from each sub-neighbourhood. Descriptive and inferential analyses were carried out and it was discovered that household deprivation is more obvious at sub- neighbourhoods level than at the general neighbourhood level.

Department of Geography, College of Education, Igueben, Edo State, Nigeria Abstract Floods are among the most devastating natural disasters in the world, claiming more lives and causing more property damages than any other natural phenomena. In recent times, the incidence of flooding across Nigeria has left both the government and the governed devastated. It is no longer news that flooding and its attendant consequences are injurious to man while the spatial dimensions are often not mapped. This study, therefore, examined the nature of water level/extent and vulnerability in the riverine community of Jimeta, Adamawa State. Using time series analysis, four epoch satellite images covering the study area was used to evaluate the geospatial coverage of water along the watercourse of Upper Benue bordering the study area. Using ILWIS 3.8, ArcGIS 10.1 and statistical analysis, the spatial extent and vulnerability of settlements was mapped. Highly vulnerable (50m buffer) were differentiated from low risk zones (100m buffers). Study revealed that besides rainfall, excess water from Cameroun dam is largely responsible for the identified high level of inundation.

Afaka, Kaduna [email protected] (08097441440) ABSTRACT: River Kaduna which serves as source of water for farming, domestic and industrial uses suffers enormous pollution as a result of industrial activities and other anthropogenic sources of contamination. The study determines the concentration of some selected heavy metal of the surface waters of River Kaduna, examines the pollution status and the implications of the heavy metal pollution on human health and the environment. The water Samples were collected using Grab method along the River Kaduna at five points – Bypass, Barnawa, Down quarters, Kakuri – Makera drains and Kudendan. Six samples during the rainy season and another during the dry season. The samples were taken to the laboratory and analyzed for chromium, Arsenic, Iron, copper, Berium, Aluminium, Cadmium, Cyanide and zinc using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The results obtained from the analysis were compared with the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended standards in order to ascertain the magnitude of pollution and the quality of the water. The concentrations of the metals were observed to be higher than WHO acceptable limits. This revealed that the river have become contaminated by heavy metals discharged into the river especially from the industries and municipal wastes and may cause serious ecological and health hazards.
