  • Statement Delivered by His Excellency, Muhammadu Buhari, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, at the 2020 Biodiversity Summit 30Th September, 2020
    STATEMENT DELIVERED BY HIS EXCELLENCY, MUHAMMADU BUHARI, PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA, AT THE 2020 BIODIVERSITY SUMMIT 30TH SEPTEMBER, 2020 President of the General Assembly, Secretary-General of the United Nations, Excellencies, Heads of State and Government, Ladies and Gentlemen, I am honoured to participate in this segment of the High- Level Summit convened ahead of the 15th session of the Conference of States Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity. 2. I am aware that the objective of the summit is to mobilize greater support and enhanced action at the highest levels of Government, Industry, Academia and Civil Society against Biodiversity loss. 3. This Summit presents a unique opportunity for each of us, as global leaders, to demonstrate measurable commitment to accelerate action toward the development of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework. Indeed, negligence in renewing our commitment to halt the ongoing destruction of nature and nature-based solutions will seriously threaten our collective existence in the post Covid-19 era. 4. I am concerned that the attainment of national developmental priorities as well as internationally agreed developmental aspirations would be hampered if the critical value of biodiversity and ecosystem services are not recognized and appreciated by our citizens. 5. Nigeria, like other countries, has wide array of rich and valuable national heritage that include, impressive network of wetlands, wildlife, and forestry resources. Regrettably, most of the indigenous flora and fauna commonly found within the country are becoming endangered and facing extinction. 6. To reverse this situation, we have developed the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan as an enabler for integrating biodiversity considerations into sectoral and cross-sectoral policies, plans and programmes at all levels of government.

Tamunobereton-ari, 2V. B. Omubo-Pepple and 3A.R.C. Amakiri 1,2,3Department of Physics, Rivers State University of Science and Technology, Port Harcourt 500001, Nigeria. Abstract: Hydrogeological work was carried out to providing an alternative source of portable water supply to Omoku and its environs as their major source of water which is surface water had been contaminated/polluted by oil and gas exploration, exploitation and other anthropogenic activities in the area. To obtaining reliable data and achieving the aim, geoelectric sounding method and Schlumberger array was employed with the use of a digital averaging instrument ABEM terrameter SAS 300 model that displays the resistance measurements directly with a maximum current electrode separation (AB) of 100m. WinResist software computer iterative procedure was used, which aided to obtaining interpreted depths and resistivities from field data. The results of the geoelectric survey were tied to various lithologies by calibrating the geoelectric values with borehole data which enabled us to establish the aquiferous zones. The aquifers were located at depth of about 22m to 30m based soil profile and high resistivity values ranging from 3415m to 4555m. The information from the findings can be successfully used to harnessing and supply safe, portable and sustainable water to the people of Omoku and its environs in Rivers State, Nigeria. Keywords: Groundwater, aquifer, geoelectric layer, Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) I.

The sample size of the study was 100 respondents who were randomly selected from farmers in the area who benefited from the free distribution of the nets by Rivers State Government. The questionnaire was used in eliciting data from the respondents. Data were analyzed with percentage, mean score and multiple regression. Socio-economic result shows that the respondents on the average were 40 years old, earned monthly net income of N24,184.00 ($121.38) and spent 11 years in schooling. More results indicated that while the ownership of the net was as high as 71.73%, the actual utilization was as low as 28.27%. Result of multiple regression analysis indicated a multiple determination (R2) value of 0.6333. Determinants of the utilization of the net were age, sex, occupation and educational level of the respondents. The two major constraints in the utilization of the net in the area were inadequate information and poor design and inconvenience of hanging. In order to improve the rate of utilization of the net in the area, the study recommends enhanced information which will lead to a better education of the beneficiaries.

  • Does the Greater Port Harcourt Master Plan 2008 Meet Aspirations for Liveable City?
    Ede et al., Greater Port Harcourt Master Plan 2008, 47th ISOCARP Congress 2011 Does the Greater Port Harcourt Master Plan 2008 meet Aspirations for Liveable City? By Precious N. Ede, Opuenebo B. Owei and Chimbiko Iche Akarolo In 2007 the government of Rivers State, Nigeria contracted a South African firm to produce a master plan for a new city called Greater Port Harcourt to be situated in the outskirts of the old city. The Greater Port Harcourt Master Plan 2008 is here examined in the context of current thinking as to whether it has credentials that meet aspirations for modern liveable cities. The new city plan assumes that Port Harcourt will continue to grow at its current rate so there is need to respond pro-actively to the reality of meeting cogent challenges. The infrastructure to be provided must be sustainable, that is, there should be continuity of effective service delivery by operators, by way of renewal, upgrading and expansion to cope with the city growth. Provision of services will be private sector driven, while government is politically ready to amend laws, regulations and policies to create an enabling environment for private sector to thrive in driving the development initiatives. The plan provides a long-term vision for the city based on sustainability: social, economic and political equity. Sustainability is hinged on continual improvement based on accountability, transparency and good governance. The master plan aims at a development that positively encourages the creation of a mixed community of 350,000 housing units, initially. The energy infrastructure utilizes the natural resources in the region such as natural gas for powering turbines and providing domestic fuel, with a little solar power.

  • Forecasting the Future Pattern of Land Use and Land Cover Change in the Wetland Ecosystem of the Port-Harcourt Metropolis
    International Journal of Emerging Engineering Research and Technology Volume 6, Issue 2, 2018, PP 16-22 ISSN 2349-4395 (Print) & ISSN 2349-4409 (Online) Forecasting the Future Pattern of Land Use and Land Cover Change in the Wetland Ecosystem of the Port-Harcourt Metropolis Wali E.1, Phil-Eze P.O.1 and Nwankwoala, H.O.2 1Department of Geography, University of Nigeria, Nsukka 2Department of Geology, University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria Corresponding Author: Nwankwoala, H.O., Department of Geology, University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria ABSTRACT Changes in wetland area have notable effects on ecosystem processes and services. Forecasts on Land use and Land cover change have become a focal point in managing natural resources and monitoring environmental changes in wetland ecosystem. The Port Harcourt metropolis has witnessed extremely large growth in population in recent times and a proper evaluation would reveal a change in land use and land cover of the study area. Therefore, the model and direction of this change is not properly revealed in the works of art. However, this study was organized to forecast the future pattern of land use/land cover change in the wetland ecosystem of Port-Harcourt metropolis. In furtherance of this study, satellite imageries between 1984-2013 using Remote Sensing techniques as an analytical tools and Geo-referencing properties of 1984, 1999, 2003 and 2013 made up of universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection, and datum WGS 84, zone 32 were acquired. The satellite images covering the area were acquired and analyzed using ArcGIS10.0, ERDAS IMAGE 2014 and IDRISI Selva. The Markov transition probability matrix where employed in the study to forecast the future pattern of land use and land cover change in the wetland ecosystem of Port-Harcourt for the given period of 30 years (2023, 2033 and 2043).The study concludes that there will be further loss of wetlands and their resources in the metropolis, if factors contributing to it are not properly checked.

  • Multinational Corporations As Partners in Curbing Insecurity in Rivers State: the Community Policing Approach
    International Journal of Innovative Development and Policy Studies 7(4):39-44, Oct--Dec., 2019 © SEAHI PUBLICATIONS, 2019 www.seahipaj.org ISSN: 2467- 8465 Multinational Corporations As Partners In Curbing Insecurity In Rivers State: The Community Policing Approach *Daerego Ilomabo Taylor; Prof. I. S. Nzeneri & Dr. G. Adekola Department of Adult Education and Non-formal Education University of Port Harcourt, Port Harcourt, Nigeria *Corresponding Author: [email protected] ABSTRACT Insecurity has become a major global issue in the last few decades and Nigeria has had a fair share of this menace. There has been growing concerns over the spate of violence, kidnapping, cultism, militancy, killings and other associated crimes in Rivers State and other states in the nation. Some communities have been deserted and companies operating there have left or relocated leaving a huge economic impact on the states and nation at large. In a bid to deal with this issue, successive governments have adopted the traditional policing model in crime fighting but this seems not to have yielded the desired results. The spate of crimes in most communities in Rivers State seems not to have reduced in spite of the efforts of the police and other security forces. There is a need therefore for a change of approach to a more inclusive and integrated efforts from communities, multinationals operating in the communities and the police in curbing crimes and ensuring safer neighbourhoods in the state. This is what the community police model advocates. This study therefore examined the community policing approach and how it takes cognizance of the efforts of both community members and multinational corporations specifically.
