Kano River Irrigation Scheme Project Area SFG3496 V2 THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA Public Disclosure Authorized Resettlement Action Plan for Kano River Irrigation Scheme in Kano State, Nigeria Draft Final Report Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Project Management Unit Transforming Irrigation Management in Nigeria (TRIMING) Project Plot 1402, Abba Kyari Street, Off Adesoji Aderemi Street, Apo - Abuja Public Disclosure Authorized Key Data Information Background The Transforming Irrigation Management Project (TRIMING) was designed to establish a system of co-responsibility between the Federal Government of Nigeria and the water users where the 5 selected public irrigation systems would become financially autonomous. Kano River Irrigation Scheme (KRIS) is one of the five selected schemes. At KRIS, TRIMING will focus on the rehabilitation of existing irrigation scheme infrastructures as well as the registration and strengthening of Water Users Associations (WUAs) to become fully operational. The Project Development Objective (PDO) is to improve access to irrigation and drainage services and to strengthen institutional arrangements for integrated water resources management, and agricultural service delivery in selected large- scale public schemes in Northern Nigeria. Project Impact During the rehabilitation, no houses, schools, mosques or markets will be affected by this rehabilitation works as these have all been excluded from the rehabilitation design. Also, No PAP will lose his/her land. They will however be deprived access to Irrigation water for at most one farming season being the dry season. This is anticipated to adversely affect their income and livelihood. However, mitigation measures have been identified to compensate for this temporary loss. If there are crops in their fields that are not yet mature for harvest as of the time of civil works commencement that will be affected, these families will be compensated for the unharvested crops. The rehabilitation work of the scheme is estimated to last 3-4 years, to be executed in phases; sector by sector. During this period, some farmers will suffer temporary losses (inability to irrigate) as a result of the rehabilitation work. These losses, which vary from sector to sector will be compensated for. Categories of In the sectors where rehabilitation works will take place (14,314 ha), Impact and farmers irrigate during the rainy (June to October) and dry season (November to compensation May). Their rainy season cultivation will not get affected in this area because it will focus on drainage, and Canals. However, they might not be able to cultivate at certain periods of the dry season due to interruption of water in the supply canal or in other places. For this reason, they will be compensated. Given the rehabilitation work will be carried out in phases, each sector will lose an average of one planting season particularly in the dry season. No farmer will lose his/her land however, the total number of farmer’s plots that will be affected are 42,450 as the number of PAPs of farmers that will be disturbed due to inability to irrigate during rehabilitation works in the course of three to four years during the dry season. These will be compensated for temporary loss of access to their land. Each farmer that loses one season will be compensated the sum of N 13,000- per 0.40ha per season, unit by unit according to the farmers hydrological boundary. These sums have been calculated on a full replacement cost based on the prevailing inflation rate in the scheme. This means that the amount paid to farmers will be sufficient for their livelihood for the first season. However, every 6 month this sum will be reviewed to reflect inflation rate for subsequent Page ii of 174 years to determine the amount due to each farmer; and where there is need to review farmers’ entitlement upward due to inflation, this will be done accordingly before compensation is paid. RAP A Resettlement Implementation Committee (RIC) will be created with the implementation participation of the main stakeholders (HJRBDA, WUA, local leaders, arrangements TRIMING). The committee will receive the works plan for the upcoming 6 months from the contractor and validated by the supervising engineer. The committee will meet twice per year: (i) in February to evaluate the works to be done during the rainy season from June to October and (ii) in July to evaluate works to be done during the dry season from November to May (main impacts on the rehabilitation area). A list of Project Affected Persons (PAPs) will be developed by the RIC from the RAP report after its meeting and will be disseminated at the HJRBDA, with copies posted at the scheme project office and relevant villages. This list will further be disclosed at the WUA level as well as by radio and other means by the TRIMING communication unit to ensure transparency of the project so that all farmers will know 3 months in advance if the works of the upcoming year will impact their farms or not. In addition, the RIC will also meet every 6 months to review and re-evaluate the compensation cost in line with the inflation rate in the scheme for subsequent years. Once the list is disclosed, a simple “PAP form”(Annex 7.0) for each farmer will be prepared so that she/he can complete it and have it signed by the (i) Project Manager (KRIS), (ii) the WUA representatives and (iii) the relevant traditional leader. This form will be distributed from the KRIS project office to the representative of relevant sector WUA representative to be distributed to the PAPs within the sectors earmarked for rehabilitation. The TRIMING Scheme Social Safeguards Officer, with support from the HJRBDA, will assist PAPs that cannot read or write, and will also ensure that the forms are properly prepared and signed. The completed form with each PAP’s passport photo affixed will be presented for final verification at the point of compensation payment. Accordingly, people who are considered vulnerable, as identified in this RAP, will be given any additional assistance that is deemed necessary in line with the World Bank guidelines. Findings from site investigation revealed that each family has an average of 0.40ha, and the compensation payment will be on an average of N13,000 (approximately 42US$) per season. Payment Payment of compensation will be implemented upon presentation of the procedure and completed PAPs form, duly signed by the PAP, her/his sector WUA leader, Schedule relevant traditional ruler, KRIS project manager (or representative) and the TRIMING project auditor. Each PAPs would be handed his or her compensation upon clearance by the TRIMING accountant and auditor. As this entails a large number of relatively payments of small amounts of money every six months, disbursement of compensation to farmers will be through a Page iii of 174 recognized local commercial bank, disbursed to farmers according to their unit and hydrological boundary in the scheme. The exact location of disbursement of compensation shall be determined by the RIC during their meeting which would be communicated to each farmer through their unit WUA representative. Regarding deceased PAPs, the entitlement shall be paid to the applicable court of law for disbursement to the family of the deceased in line with Islamic injunction as being practised in the communities that comprise the KRIS. Likewise entitlement due to orphans will be disbursed to the recognized guardian or the household head responsible for custody of the orphan. Given many PAPs do not have bank accounts a series of financial literacy workshops will be delivered to PAPs in order to ensure that people are able to maximise their compensation wisely. In compliance with World Bank safeguards, farmers must be compensated before works start. Therefore, for the works during the dry season (November – May), farmers should get compensation in August-September. After disbursement of compensation to PAPs, each PAPs form, and photograph of beneficiary will be kept by the TRIMING office, the KRIS project office and the commercial bank representative. The estimated compensation cost for all the sectors where the rehabilitation and completion works will be carried out is ₦481,199,176.70 (USD1,527,616.43)@ N315 per USD$1). During consultation with the design consultant and the KRIS project team, it was suggested that work commence on smaller sectors before the bigger sectors to guard against losing two seasons in sectors that had been envisaged to lose only one season. Grievance A GRM process was developed out of extensive consultation with all potential Redress project affected persons, during which affected persons were made aware of the Mechanism provisions under the RAP for addressing any complaint, grievance or dispute (GRM) arising from the RAP implementation in a transparent, credible and culturally acceptable manner. The first point of call for resolving grievance is at the unit level Water User Association (contact person). If redress at this level fails, the sector level Water User Association will intervene to resolve it. If resolution is achieved at this level, the grievance case will be closed. If not, it shall be referred to the scheme level social and environmental officer who then decides where the case should go for resolution. An aggrieved PAP files his/her complaint at the respective level (unit WUA and Sector WUA) verbally, in writing, by telephone call or SMS to the publicized relevant applicable phone number at each level. Written complaint will be signed and dated

CABI Agric Biosci (2021) 2:25 https://doi.org/10.1186/s43170-021-00046-7 CABI Agriculture and Bioscience RESEARCH Open Access Appraisal of cowpea cropping systems and farmers’ perceptions of production constraints and preferences in the dry savannah areas of Nigeria Saba Baba Mohammed1,2, Daniel Kwadjo Dzidzienyo2* , Muhammad Lawan Umar1, Mohammad Faguji Ishiyaku1, Pangirayi Bernard Tongoona2 and Vernon Gracen2,3 Abstract Background: Low plant density and wide intra-plant spacing in traditional cowpea cropping systems are among the factors responsible for low yield on farmers’ felds. Sole cropping and improved intercropping systems have been advocated in the last few years to increase yield in the dry savannah areas of Nigeria. This study investigated the level of adoption of high yielding cowpea cropping systems including factors that infuenced their use and farmers’ perceived production constraints and preferences. A total of 420 farmers across 36 villages of northern Nigeria were interviewed, and data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics to appraise farmers predominant cowpea cropping systems and factors that determine the use of sole versus intercropping were identifed with the aid of binary logit regression. Furthermore, pairwise comparison ranking was deployed to understand farmers’ view of cow- pea production constraints and preferred traits. Results: The results revealed that, many of the farmers (42%) still grow cowpeas in the traditional intercropping and a good number (25%) cultivate the crop as a sole crop, while 23% had felds of cowpeas in both sole and intercropping systems. Farmers reported the incidence of high insect pests, limited access to land, desire to have multiple benefts, and assurance in the event of crop failure as reasons for preference for intercropping over sole planting.

    Introducing the Immunity Boosting Sweet Potato to Kano State Nigeria is one of the countries with the highest risk of Vitamin A Deficiency (VAD). It is also particularly challenging to reach the most vulnerable children in rural, hard to reach communities as these communities are often missed during Vitamin A supplementation programs. As such, only two in five children receive adequate levels of supplementation, leaving a higher percentage of children at risk of Vitamin A Deficiency (VAD).

The results obtained revealed three to four geo-electric layers of the subsurface. The third weathered basement and a forth fractured basement rock constitutes the Aquiferous water bearing layers with resistivity ranges from 6Ωm - 265Ωm respectively with average thickness of 19m and 15m respectively. The result shows the weathered regolith to be thicker than the fractured bedrock layer; average depth range of boreholes in the area is between 30m-35m while the average static water levels in dug wells is 8.3m. It is highly recommended that a spread of between 75-85m be used in the future and also the use of EM method to locate deep fractures as important in maximizing the borehole yield.

S., Maigado, A. I., Shuaibu, A. and Umar, H. A. Department of Animal Science, Faculty of Agriculture, Federal University of Kashere, Gombe State, Nigeria Abstract Body condition score is very critical during breeding, lambing and lactation, the current study was conducted to assess the repeatability and reproducibility of body condition score inYankasa sheep in some selected Local Government Areas of Kano State, Nigeria; Bebeji (BBJ), Dawakin Kudu (DKD), Wudil (WDL), Shanono (SNN), and Dambatta (DBT). Multistage sampling was adopted to select a total of 300 sheep comrison of 99 rams and 201 ewes. Body condition score was determined twice a day by two assessors using the standard procedure. The experiment was conducted using a cross factor design. Model III analysis of variance was carried out to determine the between sheep and inter and intra-assessor variations in the trait. The results shows a significant (P<0.01) effects of rams and ewes on the body condition score.It is concluded that repeatability and reproducibility of BCS were very high (0.828-0.982 and 0.791-0.939 for repeatability and reproducibility, respectively). It is recommended that sheep farmers consider condition scores in the selection and routinely assess their animals' nutritional status.
