ABSTRACT Urban  development  in wetland  ecosystems for  human settlement,  agriculture  and  industrial development is one of the biggest threats to wetland conversion and management.  Prediction of future urban expansion is very usefulfor urban planners and environmental managers in rapidly growing cities.  This study  aims to examine urbanization and loss of wetland in Port-Harcourt metropolis,  using remote sensing techniques.  The study  analyzes  land use /land cover changes (LULC)   using landsat5  TM ...

ABSTRACT This research work presents findings of the extent and distributions of saline zone and  the hydrochemical  characteristics  of the  groundwater  of Awe,  Keana  and  Giza  areas  in the Middle Benue Trough of Nigeria.Staticwater  levels(swl) of hand dug wells were  measured andthe results used to generate hydraulic head data and hydraulichead map. The static water levels range from 1.0m to 13.5m at Awe, 1.0m to 4.5m at Keana and 2.2m ...

ABSTRACT The purpose of this work was to examine the patterns and determinants of fertility in Nsukka region, Enugu State, Nigeria. This was necessarily because most  fertility studies across the nation lay emphasis on single or selected determinants, and using the findings to make recommendations on generalized terms which may not be applicable in different parts of the country. The data for this work was generated from questionnaire survey administered ...

CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION 1.0      INTRODUCTION 1.1      BACKGOUND OF STUDY The Benue Trough of Nigeria is one of the most prominent geologic features in West Africa. It extends over a length of 800km trending NNE-SSW from the Niger Delta to the south-west of Lake Chad basin and ranges in width from 130 to 250 km (Figure 1.1).  Due to the large  regional extent, studies in the Trough  are often divided  geographically ...

ABSTRACT This study examined the locational characteristics  of the industrial activities at the  9th Mile area of Enugu  State,  Nigeria  in order to identify the most  important  location  factors, multiplier effects, and linkages among the industrial plants. The data analysed  were collected from  relevant  sources  using  mainly  the  survey  research  method.  Location  quotient  (LQ), Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) Analysis, and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) were adopted in the analyses of ...

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to investigate the structure, pattern and problems of yam production and marketing  in  Benue  State,  Nigeria.  The  specific  objectives  are to:  examine the  socio• economic characteristics of yam farmers and the volume of yam production in Benue State.  To examine the socio-economic characteristics of yam traders and the structure and pattern of yam marketing.  To investigate the contribution of the middlemen and yam ...

ABSTRACT The study was aimed at examining the spatial pattern of industrial production subcontracting in  Onitsha  Metropolis  Anambra  State  Nigeria.  Data  were  collected  from  documentary materials, questionnaire, in-depth interviews and field observation and were analysed using percentages, mean, standard deviation, nearest neighbour analysis and principal component analysis. The results of the study revealed that  production subcontracting by firm size was more prominent in small and medium scale industries than large ...

ABSTRACT Waste accumulation in developing world cities has become common sights in recent times. Management of solid waste has been one of the challenges facing urban areas in the world owing to an aggregation of human settlements and increased consumption thereof that has the potential to produce a large amount of solid waste. The situation is further compounded with failure of some cities in setting up an effective waste collection ...

ABSTRACT Abattoir activities are accompanied by some negative influence on the environment if not properly managed. The impact of abattoir effluent on the quality of Asata and Owo (a tributary to Asata) streams in Enugu was studied. Field observation revealed that the inhabitants of the study area make use of the stream water. Two sets of questionnaire were administered. Hundred copies of one set of questionnaire was administered to the ...

ABSTRACT This  study examined  the  impact  of National Fadama  Development  Project  (NFDP)  on agricultural  Production  in  Taraba  State,  Nigeria.  Specifically,  the  study  identified  the: patterns of distribution of the Project (NFDP); Factors responsible for the distribution of the project (NFDP); spatial impact of the project (NFDP) on agricultural production and trend in agricultural production within the period of implementation of the Project (NFDP). The study adopted a survey research, and ...

ABSTRACT Changes in precipitation characteristics have been identified to exert profound socio-economic consequences over West Africa. This study analysed climate model simulation and projections of precipitation changes over West Africa using the Norwegian Earth System Model (NorESM with Lat-Lon  resolution  of  1.89°  by 2.5°).  The  skill  of  the  model  in  reproducing  the  observed precipitation was evaluated for the present-day (1980-2005), its bias and relationship was determined using satellite derived precipitation ...

ABSTRACT Ozara Ukwu and its environs (the study Area) is located within the Abakaliki Basin and the Afikpo sub Basin, respectively within the Afikpo Area. Detailed geologic mapping was carried out in other todetermine the various stratigraphic lithologic units, depositional environment, provenance, age and kerogene characterization, respectively using the basic field and laboratory procedures. Based on field observations, two lithostratigraphic units of the Ezeaku Group and Nkporo Group were identified ...

Abstract This study was on modern journalism practice and the quest for professionalism among journalist. Three objectives were raised which included: To serve the political system by making information, discussion and consideration for public affairs generally accessible, to protect the rights of the individual by acting as watch dog over the government, to serve the economic system, for instance by bringing together buyers and sellers through the medium off advertising and ...

CHAPTER INTRODUCTION  Background of the study  Geomorphic processes shape the Earth surface, and pedogenic processes produce soil horizons from parent material; this course deals with how these two groups of processes overlap and interact. That is, the work of geomorphic processes affects soil formation, for example, when stream sediment is deposited on an existing floodplain soil. At the same time, the development of soil horizons can alter the effectiveness of ...

Abstract It is no longer news that climate change has an adverse effect on water resources in Edo state and Nigeria at large, the study examine the relationship between climate change and water resources. Climate change is studied in relation to water resources because the latter is first impacted upon before any other components of the environment. The approach entails identifying the various impact of climate on water resources in ...

Abstract The reoccurring flooding in some parts of Rivers State had been a major research concern. Seasonally, coastal communities in the State are flooded to the extent that damages are caused to human lives and properties, especially during heavy falls. In 2018 some communities along the Orashi region were  seriously affected by flooding.
