Abstract:

One of the most serious challenges that city dwellers face in a developing nation is unsatisfactory solid waste management. This research investigates the impact of entrepreneurial innovation in solid waste recycling capacity in Abuja, federal capital city of Nigeria. The study employs a survey approach entailing the use of questionnaire for primary data collection. The data collected were analysed using a regression statistical technique. The findings of the study reveal that entrepreneurial activities can be used to enhance competencies in sustainable solid waste management in Abuja, Nigeria. Specifically, we found that entrepreneurial innovation has a significant positive effect on solid waste recycling capacity (p < 0.01). The study concludes that entrepreneurial innovation will encourage efficiency and effectiveness in solid waste recycling practices in Abuja, Nigeria. The study, therefore, recommends that the government should put in place structures that encourage entrepreneurial innovation in solid management so as to enhance the sustainable solid waste recycling capacity in Abuja, Nigeria. Solid waste recycling has long been thought of as playing an important role in solid waste management. This research affirms that entrepreneurial innovation would aid the improvement of the solid waste recycling capacity thereby optimising the chances of achieving sustainable solid waste management in Abuja, Nigeria. Currently there is a paucity of studies that examine the effects of entrepreneurial innovation specifically on solid waste recycling and sustainable development in Abuja, Nigeria. This study contributes an important additional dimension in the search for sustainable solid waste management in Abuja, Nigeria.

Abstract:

In 2000, Federal Ministry of the Federal Capital Territory (MFCT), Abuja launched a mass housing scheme (MHS) under the platform of a public-private partnership (PPP). This paper reports an evaluation of this reform in order to understand the scheme's impact on the cohort of low-income group (LIG) in Abuja, Nigeria. The study explores the multiple data sources available, including literature and policy material and empirical evidence collected through structured and semi-structured questionnaires. The findings of the study suggest that the scheme did not significantly improve the housing status of LIG. The research suggests that the cohorts' history of exclusion in housing delivery in the Abuja deepened further due to partly an inadequate mortgage infrastructure to support their participation. Moreover, with poor scheme implementation, it is clear that the scheme strengthened the polarised position of the Abuja with respect to housing which runs counter to the stated policy objective to provide all Nigerians with decent and affordable housing. The paper concludes by showing the wider implication of the contemporary approach of the housing strategy in Abuja and Nigeria in general.

Abstract:

A serological survey was carried out in four area councils (Abuja Municipal, Kuje, Gwagwalada, and Kwali) of the Federal Capital Territory (Abuja) to determine the prevalence of antibodies to Newcastle disease virus in local chickens using haemagglutination inhibition (HI) tests. In each area council, one hundred sera samples were collected from apparently healthy local chickens with no history of vaccination. Abuja Municipal, Kuje, Gwagwalada, and Kwali area councils had prevalence of 37, 44, 79, and 68%, respectively. The overall prevalence of antibody to Newcastle disease in the four area councils was 57%. This study shows that Newcastle disease virus is circulating in local chickens in the study area, and this may pose a serious threat to the commercial poultry industry within these four area councils of the Federal Capital Territory (Abuja) where this study was carried out.

Abstract:

Milk and its products are needed for proper body building. Processed cheese, nunu and soy milk consumed within Abuja and Keffi metropolises were analyzed for their mineral contents. X1, Y1, Z1 represents soy milk, nunu and cheese from Abuja metropolis while X2, Y2, Z2 represents sample from Keffi metropolis respectively. Calcium (265.53±0.25 mg/mL), iron (1.19±0.92 mg/mL), potassium (162.77±0.02 mg/mL) were found to be higher in cheese milk (Z1) from Abuja than that (225.82±0.13 mg/mL, 1.05±0.60mg/mL and 130.41±0.04 mg/mL) found in Keffi (Z2) examined respectively, though the amount of sodium present (151.0±0.08 mg/mL) in cheese (Z2) from Keffi is slightly higher than that (150.08±0.01 mg/mL) from Abuja (Z1). Also, Soya milk from Abuja (X1) had highest amount of zinc (0.76±0.00 mg/mL) while that of Keffi (X2) was 0.65±0.3 mg/mL, for magnesium and copper, higher values 18.40±010 mg/mL and 0.25±0.02 mg/mL were recorded for soy milk (X2) from Keffi while soy milk from Abuja (X1) had 17.97±0.20 mg/mL and 0.16±0.01 mg/mL respectively. Chromium was dictated in both cheese samples but not dictated in soya and nunu milks from both metropolises. It is seen from the investigation that cheese had more minerals followed by soya milk. Nunu milk sample had the least quantity of minerals; also all the samples analyzed have minerals present in them. Therefore, they are needed for the proper functioning of the body system Keywords: Analysis, Concentration, Milk, Mineral, Metropolis, Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy

Abstract:

This study was conducted to investigate the tree species richness and diversity of urban and periurban areas of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, Nigeria, and produce Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) for the territory. Data were collected from urban (Abuja city) and periurban (Lugbe) areas of the FCT using both semistructured questionnaire and inventory of tree species within green areas. In the study location, all trees with diameter at breast height (dbh) ≥ 10 cm were identified; their dbh was measured and frequency was taken. The NDVI was calculated in ArcGIS 10.3 environment using standard formula. A cumulative total of twenty-nine (29) families were encountered within the FCT, with 27 occurring in Abuja city (urban centre) and 12 in Lugbe (periurban centre) of the FCT. The results of Shannon-Wiener diversity index(H′)for the two centres are 3.56 and 2.24 while Shannon’s maximum diversity index(Hmax)is 6.54 (Abuja city) and 5.36 (Lugbe) for the urban (Abuja city) and periurban (Lugbe) areas of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The result of tree species evenness (Shannon’s equitability (EH) index) in urban and periurban centres was 0.54 and 0.42, respectively. The study provided baseline information on urban and periurban forests in the FCT of Nigeria, which can be used for the development of tree species database of the territory.

Abstract:

Abuja Master Plan provided development of adequate Green Areas and other Recreational Facilities within the Federal Capital City (FCC), as part of its sustainability principles and provided for these recreational facilities within each neighborhood (FCDA, 1979). However, there have been several recent foul cries about the negative development of recreational facilities and the abuse of the Master Plan in the FCC. The motivation for carrying out this study arose from the observation that recreational facilities in Phase 1 of the Federal Capital City Abuja are not clearly developed as intended by the policy makers and thus, the need to identify the recreational facilities in the Phase 1 of FCC and observe their level of development as well as usage. The field survey revealed that the Central Business District and Gazupe have higher numbers of recreational facilities with 45 and 56. While Wuse II (A08) and Wuse II (A07) Districts have lesser recreational facilities with 10 and 17. The field survey further revealed that all the districts in Phase 1 have over 35% cases of land use changes from recreational facilities to other use. The survey shows that over 65% of these recreational facilities are fully developed. The study also shows that just about 11% of the recreational sporting facilities were developed in line with the Abuja Master Plan in Phase 1. The study revealed that recreational facilities in Phase 1 of the FCC, Abuja has not being developed in compliance with the Abuja Master Plan.

Abstract:

Culture is a major instrument for identifying a people. Over time, Nigeria’s diverse cultures have been celebrated with fun-fare and pageantry for tourism carnivals. The management process of such cultural celebrations becomes worthy of study. The concept of Cultural management is basically out to examine the influence of administration on a culturally-based festival like the Abuja carnival. The idea is to examine the past visions of the Carnival in comparison with the present challenges with the view of clearly solving such problems to ensure a more globally accepted product. The study employs the deductive and analytical methods of research to investigate the concept of Cultural management in Abuja Carnival. In the deductive method, we derive some vital information relevant to the study through interviews with some Artistic directors of the Abuja carnival. For the analytical method, we assess the cultural management through the review of related literatures, magazines and performance brochures. Among others, the study reveals that Abuja Carnival suffers serious funding challenge from its major sponsor which is the federal government of Nigeria. Also, despite having the same preparatory process, the approaches of the studied directors vary according to their perception of what a carnival should be which does not maintain the overall vision of the carnival. It also came to the fore that certain external factors such as national security challenge contribute to the factors militating against the targeted increase in foreign troupe participation in the Carnival. The study concludes that Abuja carnival have increased private sector sponsorship which will lessen the bureaucratic challenge from the major sponsor. Furthermore, private-sector driven sponsorship will accommodate healthy competition and encourage better result in revenue generation among others.

Abstract:

Purpose: This study investigates the effect of strategic intent on the performance of small and medium scale printing firms in Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, Nigeria. Methods: The population of the study included all the small and medium scale printing press in Abuja which is 226 and the sample size of 68. A multiple regression model was formulated to estimate the effect of strategic intent (vision, mission, and objectives) on performance (growth) of small and medium scale printing press firms in Abuja. The study also adopted a control variable such as finance to have a better coefficient of determination. Findings: The study found that strategic intent had a positive and significant effect on the growth of small and medium scale printing press firms in Nigeria. The study also found that finance (collateral, access to finance, and insufficient finance) had a negative and insignificant effect on the growth of small and medium scale printing press firms in Nigeria. Implication: Small and medium printing press firms in Abuja, FCT should communicate their vision, mission statement, and objectives to their employees. The microfinance banks in collaboration with the central bank of Nigeria should minimize collateral conditions in obtaining microcredit from microfinance banks.

Abstract:

Background and context: Through the UICC and Pfizer Oncology SPARC MBC grant, Project PINK BLUE - Health and Psychological Trust Centre implemented Breast Cancer Navigation and Palliative Program (BCNPP) with strategic activities focused on metastatic breast cancer with the goal “to empower women at risk of, or living with advanced breast cancer and to reduce incidence of stage III or IV breast cancer”. The project established Nigeria´s first patient navigation program which trained 138 health workers and social workers across the 6 area councils of Abuja and connected 116 breast health facilities, 58 in Abuja and another 58 across Nigeria (diagnostic centers and hospitals) in a Web-based navigation map application. The program was designed to train only 18 patient navigators for Abuja only, however, we trained 44 patient navigators from National Hospital Abuja, Enugu and Kebbi states whom are currently working on establishing BCNPP programs in their respective states. The trained oncology nurse navigators are providing optimum palliative care and navigation to patients across the mapped health facilities in Abuja. While 72 institutions have been engaged through diverse partnerships, 27 resources were produced including videos, documents, and palliative/navigation book for healthcare workers; 10 ECHO palliative care training were organized for nurses and pain doctors, with additional 8 face-to-face workshops on palliative care and patient navigation and 5 patient support group meetings. Seventy-two news articles were published including TV, radio, and interviews. Aim: To empower women at risk for, or living with advanced breast cancer and to reduce incidence of stage III or IV breast cancer. Strategy/Tactics: The program used training of nurses, cancer survivors and nurses to become patient navigators at National Hospital Abuja and across the 6 area councils of Abuja. Currently, Niger state and Enugu state have also been trained on patient navigation and more cancer patients have been tracked and followed up through their journey with cancer in Nigeria. Outcomes: The program has transited to lead national advocacy at Nigeria's Parliament for the establishment of National Institute on Cancer Research and Treatment and has also establish some initiatives, such as Abuja's first cancer support group and patient-led advocacy and campaign. Several metastatic breast cancer patients were navigated through their journey with cancer. What was learned: Metastatic breast cancer patient needed more support to live a quality life, they needed more than just pain drugs. They need listening ear and caregiver who would show their care and love. Patient navigation is an emerging area of oncology, hence, there is a need to support the patient navigators to devote more time for the impact.

Abstract:

The continuous increases in the numbers of road traffic crashes (RTC) over the years, especially in developing countries, have been a source of worry. The majority of the RTC are attributed to road user behaviours exhibited by the drivers. This study sets out to investigate the road user attitudes and behaviours in Abuja, Nigeria. A total of 1526 questionnaires were distributed, of which 321 questionnaires were completed and returned. The questionnaires tried to understand four major road user behaviours, namely use of seatbelts, drink driving, use of mobile phone while driving, and use of child restraints. The results after analysing the questionnaires showed that the majority of the road users in Abuja showed high non-compliance with the use of seatbelts, either when driving or when being driven. About 64% of the respondents admitted to not using seatbelts. Results from the cross-tabulation process showed that the high non-compliance to seatbelt usage was statistically associated with young, single road users. Around one-third of Abuja road users admitted to drink driving. Road users who were married engaged in more frequent drink driving than road users who were single, and the association was statistically significant. A high percentage of Abuja road users admitted to using mobile phones while driving and 55.8% of the total respondents admitted to not using child restraints while driving. A lack of child restraints was statistically associated more with male road users than female road users. It is recommended that stricter enforcement of road safety laws should be undertaken and that the government should provide road safety agents with the right equipment (e.g., speed guns, breathalyzers) that would aid road safety agents to perform their duties effectively in order to curb the excessive bad road user behaviours in Abuja.

Abstract:

Malaria is unique among diseases because its roots lie so deep within human communities. Malaria is a threat to more than 40% of the world's population. The role of household residents and communities cannot be overemphasized. The study examined the knowledge, attitude and practice influencing the occurrence of malaria in households of Peri-Urban Communities in Abuja. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey research that is guided by the Health Belief Model using quantitative methods of data collection. The study employed a multi-staged sampling technique to select 414 households in Abaji and Kuje peri-urban communities in Abuja. However, 385 household residents of peri-urban communities participated in the study. Research questions and hypotheses were formulated and were tested using the SPSS version 27 to compute descriptive and inferential statistics which were tested at a 5% level of confidence. Majority of respondents 47.5% are above the age of 36years with the mean age of 47.1± 19.8. findings revealed that 59.9% of the residents had good level of knowledge of malaria among households residents in peri-urban communities in Abuja mean of 16.3 ± 4.07, 46.7% of the households residents had good level of attitude towards malaria prevention in the peri-urban communities in Abuja 21.9 ±Std. Dev = 2.96 more than forty percent of the participants had a good level of practice of malaria prevention among households residents of peri-urban communities in Abuja Mean 21.9±. .96. From the test of hypothesis, the first hypothesis showed there was a significant relationship between knowledge level of households and attitude towards occurrence of Malaria in Peri Urban Communities in Abuja (R=0.803, p< 0.000). The second hypothesis indicated that there was a significant relationship between demographic characteristics (Age, marital status, family type, level of education and religion) and attitude towards the occurrence of Malaria in Peri Urban Communities in Abuja (p< 0.000) The third hypothesis showed that both perceived susceptibility and perceived barriers was significant predictor of knowledge of malaria occurrence among household residents of Peri-Urban communities. The calculated R Square and p-value for perceived susceptibility and barriers is: 0.716 which signifies 71.6% contribution to knowledge of occurrence of malaria among household residents of Peri-Urban communities (p=0.000) In conclusion, the study established that there was a good level of knowledge and attitude about malaria while there was high perceived seriousness of malaria while there was low level of perceived barrier toward malaria. It is therefore important for a development of social, communication and behavior change on prevention of malaria occurrence among household residents in communities. Government should also provide malaria prevention tools like ITN, drugs and vaccination for residents of peri-urban communities.

Abstract:

Purpose Through the Union for International Cancer Control and Pfizer Oncology SPARC MBC grant, Project PINK BLUE–Health & Psychological Trust Centre implemented the Breast Cancer Navigation and Palliative Program with strategic activities focused on metastatic breast cancer with the goal of “empower[ing] women at risk of, or living with advanced breast cancer and to reduce [the] incidence of stage III or IV breast cancer.” The project established Nigeria's first patient navigation program, which trained 138 health workers and social workers across the six area councils of Abuja and connected 116 breast health facilities, 58 in Abuja and another 58 across Nigeria—diagnostic centers and hospitals—in a Web-based navigation map application. The program was designed to train only 18 patient navigators for Abuja only; however, we trained 44 patient navigators from National Hospital Abuja, Enugu, and Kebbi states who are currently working on establishing Breast Cancer Navigation and Palliative Programs in their respective states. Trained oncology nurse navigators are providing optimum palliative care and navigation to patients across the mapped health facilities in Abuja. Whereas 72 institutions have been engaged through diverse partnerships, 27 resources were produced, including videos, documents, and a palliative/navigation book for health care workers. Ten ECHO palliative care trainings were organized for nurses and pain doctors, with an additional eight in-person workshops on palliative care and patient navigation and five patient support group meetings. Seventy-two news articles were published, including for TV, radio, and in interviews. Methods The program used training of nurses, cancer survivors and nurses to become patient navigators at National Hospital Abuja and across the six area councils of Abuja. Currently, navigators in Niger State and Enugu state have also received training on patient navigation, and more patients with cancer have been tracked and observed during their cancer journeys in Nigeria. Results The program has transited to lead national advocacy at Nigeria’s parliament for the establishment of the National Institute on Cancer Research and Treatment and has also establish such initiatives as Abuja’s first cancer support group and patient-led advocacy and campaign. Several patients with metastatic breast cancer were navigated through their journey with cancer. Conclusion Patients with metastatic breast cancer need more support to live a quality life; more than just pain medication. They need someone to listen to them and caregivers who show their care and love. Patient navigation is an emerging area of oncology and there is a need to support the patient navigators so that they may devote more time to its effects.

Abstract:

Background. Measures of spousal effect during parturient pain should take a tripartite approach involving the parturients, spouses, and midwives.Aim. To develop and validate three questionnaires measuring spousal presence in management of parturient pain in Nigeria.Methods. There are two phases: (1) development of questionnaires, Abuja Instrument for Midwives (AIM), Abuja Instrument for Parturient Pain (AIPP), and Abuja Instrument for Parturient Spouses (AIPS), utilizing literatures, Kuopio instrument for fathers (KIF) and expertise of health professionals, and (2) pilot study to validate the questionnaires which were administered in two hospitals in Nigeria: midwives(n=10), parturients(n=10), and spouses(n=10). Results. Internal consistency for the three questionnaires indicated Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.789 (AIM), 0.802 (AIPP), and 0.860 (AIPS), while test-retest reliability wasr=0.99(AIM),r=0.99(AIPP), andr=0.90(AIPS).Conclusions. AIM, AIPP, and AIPS provide a means of investigating the effectiveness of spousal presence in management of parturient pain in Nigeria. However, further testing of each instrument is needed in a larger population to replicate the beneficial findings of AIMS, AIPP, and AIPS which can contribute rigor to future studies.

Abstract:

Abstract. The rapid urban expansion in Abuja, Nigeria, has resulted in the replacement of land surface previously occupied by natural vegetation with various impermeable materials. This study examines the impact of the spatial distribution of impervious surfaces (IS) on land surface temperature (LST) in the study area using both graphical and quantitative approach. A Normalized Difference Impervious Surface Index (NDISI) was adopted to estimate IS and LST from Landsat ETM+ and OLI/TIRS satellite images (path: 189, row: 54) of Abuja for 4 distinct epochs of 2004, 2008, 2014 and 2018. In order to analyze the effect of IS on LST, the relationship between the normalized difference indices and LST, for each epoch, were determined using regression and correlation analyses. Results show the spatial patterns of impervious surfaces as distributed over Abuja, Nigeria and its impact on LST dynamics. It was observed that mean surface temperature increased by at least 2 °C every 4 years. Furthermore, results of the correlation analysis between NDISI and LST reveal that there exist varying positive correlations between the two variables in with correlation coefficients; R = 0.511, 0.166, 0.505, 0.785 in 2004,2008, 2014 and 2018 respectively, suggesting that impervious surfaces areas accelerate LST rise and Urban Heat Island (UHI) formation. This study gives great insight on the concept of impervious surfaces and its spatial pattern in Abuja city, Nigeria. The study recommends the widespread use of highly reflective or natural surfaces for rooftops, pavements and roads and that afforestation should be encouraged to increase green areas.

Abstract:

The recent increase in prices of energy resources and effects of global warming propelled the growing relevance of improving energy efficiency especially in an energy intensive industry like hotels. This study examines the hotel energy application practices in Abuja Nigeria. The study administered questionnaires to hoteliers in Abuja Nigeria. Data collected was analyzed using descriptive technique. The results indicate hotels in the study area are of divergent physical and operational characteristics implying varying energy consumption and efficiency positions. The respondents aggregated mean ranking on hotel service provision shows all identified services as excellently or very well provided, except for electricity warmed pools which was ranked neutral. Predominantly three types of energy resources were utilized by hotels in the study area which includes grid supplied electricity, diesel and cooking gas respectively. The study recommends the adoption of Demand side management approach to checkmate guest and staff inefficient behaviors’ in addition to regular energy audits and employing renewable resources to straighten the track of the hotel’s energy consumption towards sustainability.

Abstract:

Background: Worldwide, eclampsia remains one of the major causes of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Pre-eclampsia/eclampsia is a multisystem disease and despite extensive research, no definitive etiology has been identified. This disease therefore continues to pose a challenge in obstetric practice, especially in developing countries like ours. We therefore set out to determine the prevalence, associated factors, and outcome of eclampsia at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Abuja, Nigeria.Methods: A descriptive retrospective review of cases of eclampsia managed at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Abuja over a 10-year period. The case notes of these women were retrieved, and relevant data obtained included age, parity, booking status, type of eclampsia, gestational age at presentation, mode of delivery, maternal and perinatal outcome variables. Data was analysed using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS Inc, Chicago) version 20 and outcome variables represented in simple percentages.Results: Of the 22,945 deliveries conducted during that period, 257 cases of eclampsia were managed, putting the prevalence of eclampsia at 1.12%. Of these, 90.5% were unbooked, 67.6% were primigravidae and 88.2% were below 30years of age. Antepartum eclampsia was the commonest form, occurring in 67.6% of the patients. Caesarean section was the mode of delivery in 82.2% of cases. Maternal and perinatal mortality were 4.6% and 11.1% respectively.Conclusions: Eclampsia is still a major cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality in our environment. One intervention to reduce its impact is education on the importance of antenatal care attendance. It’s also pertinent that this basic form of care be made more affordable and more easily accessible to those women who are socially disadvantaged.

Abstract:

This study investigated the prevalence and antibiotic resistance profile of Listeria monocytogenes from fresh catfish (Clarias species) and frozen raw fish (Mackerel and Herring). A total of 180 samples which comprised 60 units of fresh catfish, mackerel, and herring frozen fish each distributed uniformly across three locations in Abuja, were randomly collected within a period of three months. The samples were analyzed using standard bacteriological methods at the Animal science/bacteriology laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Abuja. Presumptive isolates were further serotyped using latex agglutination and subjected to antimicrobial sensitivity testing at the Advance Biotechnology laboratory (SHESTCO) Sheda, Abuja. Overall prevalence of L. monocytogenes in this study was 10.6% (n=19/180) distributed across Gwagwalada (20%), Bwari (11.7%) and none in Kwali Area council. The occurrence according to fish types showed 18.3% in mackerel, 10.0% in herring fish while 3.33% was from catfish. There was no statistically significant difference (p>0.05) between the prevalence of Listeria monocytogenes in the fish type studied. Antimicrobial resistance profile indicated high MAR index (≥ 0.4) which revealed a diverse spread of bacterial resistance to antibiotics within the fish population in the study area. This was characterized by 100% resistance of L. monocytogenes isolates to ampicillin and tetracycline while few (5) isolates were susceptible to chloramphenicol (71.5%), streptomycin (61.2%). This finding provides a baseline information on the prevalence and antibiotic profile of L. monocytogenes in catfish and frozen fish in Abuja, Nigeria. Proper hygienic handling of fish during processing and sales is optimum in mitigating the risk of foodborne illness due to L. monocytogenes. Adequate control of antimicrobial agent usage is also recommended to reduce the occurrence and spread of potential multidrug resistance strains.
