Landscape morphology and the process that bring them into being have always been of interest to scholars. Landform evolution is therefore a product of the balancing of these forces in the presence of climatic and endogenic change geomorphic interaction is provided by the sun, geothermal and gravitational energy.Both primary and secondary data source were employed for this study. The primary data were collected from direct field observation and measurements. Secondary data were gathered through the review of relevant literature. A recommendation survey to ascertain the general characteristics of gullies in the state was carried out with the aid of topography map of the study area.The results generated from the field were subjected to statistical and laboratory analysis. The results of the findings revealed that gullies in Lafia and Wamba LGA of Nasarawa state are more affected 80% Kilema gully site in Lafia LGA recorded the highest intern of gully length 315m followed by Traffic in Wamba LGA 303m, UngwaSharu in Lafia LGA recorded the highest figure in term of gully length 325m followed by Traffic in Wamba LGA 285m respectively.

This study, therefore, assessed helminthiasis among school-age children and the hygiene conditions of schools in Lafia, Nasarawa State, Nigeria between December 2015 and April 2016 from four randomly selected primary schools. Stool samples were collected from 200 primary school pupils including 80 males (40%) and 120 females (60%) between five and 16 years, using clean sample bottles and a standard parasitology examination technique at the central laboratory at the Federal University, Lafia. An overall prevalence of 33.5% (67/200) helminths infections was recorded. A checklist of Ascaris lumbricoides, hookworm, Trichuris trichiura, and Strongyloides stercoralis was generated from the pooled data of the four studied schools in which A. lumbricoides occurred highest with 13% (26/200) while S. stercoralis was the least prevalent at 2.50% (5/200).

    Landfill Site Selection for Solid Waste Management in Karu Lga, Nasarawa State, Nigeria

    International Journal of Trend in Research and Development, Volume 3(6), ISSN: 2394-9333 www.ijtrd.com Landfill Site Selection for Solid Waste Management in Karu Lga, Nasarawa State, Nigeria Rakiat Ladi Haruna, Alaga T.A, Gajere E.N, Ukor Chioma and Amos S.I Cooperative Information Network (COPINE), NASRDA, National Centre For Remote Sensing (NCRA), Jos., Obafemi Awolowo University, Oau Campus, Ile- Ife, Nigeria Abstract: Solid waste disposal is a crucial problem in the urban and rural areas because most solid wastes are not dumped in the suitable areas. Karu LGA has the challenge of solid waste dumping site identification. The specific objectives of this study were to: map and identify the existing landfill site and dump sites in the study area and to identify potential suitable landfill site(s) in the study area. The main data used for this study were SRTM image with a spatial resolution of 30m spatial resolution, Landsat 8 OLI imagery, google earth imagery and ground control point (GCP) collected by ground point survey (GPS). The maps were prepared by overlay and suitability analysis of geographic information system (GIS), remote sensing techniques and multi criteria analysis methods. The potential suitability map was prepared by overlay analyses on Arc map and suitability levels as high, moderate, less suitable, and unsuitable sites of the study area were determined. The results indicate that 37.7% of the study area is unsuitable for solid waste dumping; 44.29% less suitable; 14.97% moderately suitable; and 3.0 % most suitable. The GIS and remote sensing techniques are important tools for solid waste site selection.

This paper assessed informal human settlements in a rapidly urbanizing and growing urban area; the Greater Karu Urban Area (GKUA) in Nasarawa State of Nigeria. Information for the paper were obtained through the administration of a questionnaire on the residents and from published and official records. Data was collected from 4 out a 17 identified informal settlements; Mararaba, Masaka, New Nyanya and Kuchikau in GKUA. Questionnaires were administered to 10% (253) households’ randomly selected based on their availability and willingness to participate in the study. From 241 (95.4%) questionnaires that were returned, two types of informal settlements were identified: inner core (traditional slums) and the peri-urban informal/unplanned settlements/slums. The inner core slums showed very severe challenges pertaining to minimal and inadequate social amenities and infrastructure, poor sanitation, narrow winding road networks while the absence of social services and infrastructure, unplanned and uncontrolled development, and substandard housing of mixed quality characterised peri-urban slums.
