Nigerian Journal of Rural Sociology Vol. 16, No. 3, 2016 Nigerian Journal of Rural Sociology Vol. 16, No. 3, 2016 RELEVANCE OF INDIGENOUS INSTITUTIONS IN CONFLICT RESOLUTION AND SUSTAINABLE LAND USE MANAGEMENT AMONG SETTLED FULANI AGRO-PASTORAL COMMUNITIES OF OGUN STATE, NIGERIA David, O. A. Department of General Studies, School of Communication & Information Technology, Moshood Abiola Polytechnic Ojeere, Abeokuta, Ogun state Correspondent contact details: [email protected] ABSTRACT There is a need to bring to fore the contribution of indigenous institutions in promoting peace building, fostering co-operation and collaboration among settled Fulani Agro-pastoralists in communities of Ogun State, Nigeria. The leadership institutions in pastoral communities were found to be involved in the process of investigating and resolving conflict as well as making authoritative decisions in respect of land access and sustainable use of natural resources management. Sustainable access to land resources and use for cattle and crop production in pastoral communities is dependent on the prevalence of strong local institutions for collective action (co- operation and collaboration). Purposive sampling technique was used to select 435 respondents. Data were collected using semi-structured Interview Guide. Fulani respondents maintained that some of the challenges facing them were loose collaboration/contradiction between statutory and indigenous institutions, intrusion of migratory pastoralists ( Bororo ), illegal entry of new herders, lack of policy support by government to settle conflict between Fulani agro-pastoralists and others constitute collective action problems and challenges. Spearman correlation analysis revealed that there were significant relationships (p<0.01) between available local rules (r=0.252), utilised leadership institution (r=0.234) and conflict management. The study concludes that local institutions for building collective action in the management of conflict and water pollution such as Sarkin Fulani, Mawdo and Jawmu saare embedded with tradition ( aldu ), laws ( doka ) and justice ( sharia ) are important for the maintenance of peace and sustainable land resources among the Fulani pastoralists. It is recommended that leadership training in monitoring, enforcement and sanctions be provided to settled Fulani agro-pastoralists, host Yoruba farmers and migrant farmers. Keywords: Fulani agro-pastoralists; indigenous institutions, conflict, resolution, natural resources, land management. INTRODUCTION poverty alleviation and rural development. The immigration and settlements of Therefore, local institutions are important rural pastoralists in Ogun State South Western, Nigeria, structures for organising collective action in the dated back to over five decades (Oyesola, 2000; management of conflict and natural resources; Sodiya, 2005; and Fabusoro, 2006).

In Ogun State, the UBE Act was passed into law in 2005 after that of the Federal government in 2004, hence, the demonstration of the intention to make the UBE free, compulsory and universal. The aspects of the policy which is capital intensive require the government to provide adequately for basic education in the area of organization, funding, staff development, facilities, among others. With the commencement of the scheme in 1999/2000 until-date, Ogun State, especially in the area of facility provision, has joined in the collaborative effort with the Federal government through counter-part funding to provide some facilities to schools in the State, especially at the Primary level. These facilities include textbooks (in core subjects’ areas- Mathematics, English, Social Studies and Primary Science), blocks of classrooms, furniture, laboratories/library, teachers, etc. This study attempts to assess the level of articulation by the Ogun State Government of its UBE policy within the general framework of the scheme in providing facilities to schools at the primary level.

The activities of the Duarries have detrimental effects on the environment and more importantly on permanent crops; most especially cocoa which is a major commercial crop in the study area. Therefore, this study determined the perceived effects of Duarry activities on cocoa production in )ewa north local government area of Ogun State, Nigeria. A multi1 stage sampling procedure was used in selecting 120 cocoa farmers in the study area. .ata collected were analy6ed using descriptive statistical tools like mean, percentage, freDuency counts, standard deviation and inferential statistics like Chi1sDuare, PP5C and t1test.

This study, therefore, assessed the prevalence of the trio, and mapped their spatial distribution in the 20 administrative regions of Ogun State, Nigeria. Methods Parasitological surveys were carried out in 1,499 households across 33 spatially selected communities. Fresh stool samples were collected from 1,027 consenting participants and processed using ether concentration method. Households were georeferenced using a GPS device while demographic data were obtained using a standardized form. Data were analysed using SPSS software and visualizations and plotting maps were made in ArcGIS software. Results Findings showed that 19 of the 20 regions were endemic for one or more kind of the three infections, with an aggregated prevalence of 17.2%.

    Proceedings of SOCIOINT 2019- 6th International Conference on Education, Social Sciences and Humanities 24-26 June 2019- Istanbul, Turkey COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF RESIDENTS ON HOUSING PATTERNS IN INTERNATIONAL BORDER TOWNS OF OGUN STATE, NIGERIA OJO Oladimeji Olusola1*, OPOKO Akunnaya Pearl2, OLOTUAH Abiodun Olukayode3, OLUWATAYO Adedapo Adewunmi4 1PhD Student, Department of Architecture, Covenant University, Ota Ogun State, Nigeria, [email protected] 2Department of Architecture, Covenant University, Ota Ogun State, Nigeria, [email protected] 3Department of Architecture, Federal University of Technology, Akure Ondo State, Nigeria, [email protected] 4 Department of Architecture, Covenant University, Ota Ogun State, Nigeria, [email protected] *Corresponding Author Abstract Appropriate housing policy that enhances quality and standard of living in international border towns requires understanding the socio-economic and cultural factors of residents in the selected towns. However, research to this effect in international border between Nigeria and Benin Republic is either scarce or not available; hence the crux of the current study. Three towns at Nigeria-Benin Republic international border, namely Idi- Iroko, located within Ipokia Local Government Areas (LGA), Ohunbe town is in Yewa North LGA, while Ilara, falls within the jurisdiction of Imeko Afon LGA. These three towns are within the three LGAs in Ogun State that share border with the Benin Republic. It should be noted that an adequate study of these three border towns was considered as part of the research in order to draw a logical conclusion on variables germane to the study. The three towns were purposively selected given their high population sizes, location of government agencies and concentration of economic activities.
