Abstract:

This paper examines the differential in the metropolitanisation of Lagos peri-urban settlements and the policy implication on locational quality of the emerging settlements. Two case studies of Ibeju-Lekki and Ikorodu were selected to represent the peri-urban settlements outside Lagos metropolitan regions. Using purposive sampling, thirty four settlements were selected which comprise sixteen and eighteen in Ibeju-Lekki and Ikorodu respectively. Data was sourced primarily through administration of 370 and 384 questionnaires to household heads in the selected settlements in Ibeju-Lekki and Ikorodu. Secondary data was sourced by conversion of analogue spatial images, the land use maps and satellite images of the study area to digital format. Spatial images from 1980 through 2016 were acquired for this study. Acquired satellite images from Google Earth archive were brought into ArcGIS environment for geo-referencing. Quantitative data was analysed using descriptive statistics while qualitative data was analysed using time series and satellite image analysis. Findings show a differential in transformation of the two cases due to varying demographic characteristics of residents, the locational convenience, level of linkages and the regional government housing policy. It is recommended that the regional planning should create a balance between the pace of development and infrastructural provision in the peri-urban to limit the disparity in development in Lagos peri-urban settlements.

Abstract:

AbstractThe co-infection of different influenza A virus enable viral gene re-assortments especially in pigs that serve as mixing vessel with the possibility of emergence of novel subtypes. Such re-assortants pose serious public health threat, as epitomised by the emergence of pandemic influenza in 2009. In Nigeria, there is mixture of animal species and highly populated densities that can increase the risk of influenza virus endemicity, genetic reshuffling and emergence of future pandemic influenza viruses. Thus, this study was aimed at determining influenza virus disease burden in pigs. This study was a cross sectional molecular surveillance of influenza virus. A total of 194 pig nasal samples from reported cases and randomly sampled were collected from pig farms in Ojo and Ikorodu in Lagos State between October, 2015 and April, 2016. The samples were investigated for the presence of influenza virus matrix gene by Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction and detected by gel electrophoresis. P-values were calculated using Chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests. The result showed that 25 (12.9%) samples were positive for influenza A virus, out of which, 20 (80%) were samples from Ojo while 5 (20%) were samples from Ikorodu. Epidemiological parameters for the sampled locations, methods either as reported case or randomised, and sex compared were significant at 95% confidence interval. This study determined influenza viral burden in pigs with a molecular prevalence of 12.9% to influenza A. It further confirmed the sub-clinical and clinical circulation of Influenza A virus in pigs in Ojo and Ikorodu in Lagos. Therefore, the detection of influenza A virus in commercial pigs in Nigeria accentuates the importance of continuous surveillance and monitoring of the virus in order to prevent the advent of virulent strains that may spread to Pig-handlers and the community at large.

Abstract:

AbstractDiversity amongst the different populations is one of the problems in the control of medically important mosquitoes. Wing morphometry was used to identify within-species variation amongst some populations ofAedes aegyptiin three areas of Lagos State, Nigeria. Ten landmarks on the right wing of adult femaleAe. aegyptimosquitoes were digitized using TPSdig software. Relative distances of the veins and interpoints were calculated as well as the Euclidean distances based on these relative distances. In three (50%) of the interpoints, the relative distances were significant (P<0.05) to both the Brown–Forsythe F ratio and Welch ANOVA. The highest Euclidean distance of 7.738 was between Ebute Metta 2 and Badagry; the lowest of 4.426 was between Ikorodu and Ebute Metta 2. The distance between Ebute Metta 1 and Ebute Metta 2 was 5.867, which is more than the distance between Ebute Metta 2 and Ikorodu. Three groups ofAe. aegyptiwere identified, and the differences in lengths and interpoints observed on the wing veins suggest a possible morphological divergence amongst populations.

Abstract:

This study was conducted to determine dragonfly species diversity in a fish pond in Igbaga, Ikorodu (6.6671°N and 3.5983°E)and a large expanse of farm land in Ipaja (6.6044°N and 3.2660°E), southwestern Nigeria from January, 2016 to July, 2016 to as well as the effect of anthropogenic activities on the dragonflies at both sites. A total of 1002 dragonflies were collected belonging to20 species, 15 genera, and two families (Libellulidae and Aesnidae), were found at the two locations. The most dominant species in Site 1 (Ikorodu fish farm) was Chalcostephia flavifrons (36%) followed by Palpopleura lucia (15%) and the least were Palpopleura albifrons, Gynacantha nigeriensis, Diplacodes lefebvrii and Trithemis grouti which were one percent of the total numbers sampled. On the other hand, the most dominant species in Site 2 (Agricultural Farm in Ipaja) was Pantala flavescens (92%) and the least was Urothemis asignata (1%). Similarity test using Soerensen's quotient revealed a strong dissimilarity in the community structures of the two areas surveyed. The fish pond had a more even distribution of the dragonflies(e^H/S=0.508) and a higher concentration (H´=1.808) of dragonflies than Ipaja agricultural farm.

Abstract:

Community policing is presently considered by most Police organizations and scholars as the latest model of Policing. Despite this wide spread acceptance, there is still no clear agreement on what Community policing actually entails. The only area of agreement is the fact that community policing entails a partnership between the Police and organized groups of members of the community that the Police is serving. Previous researches had focused on the effectiveness of this partnership but had not looked in detail into the principles guiding this community policing partnership. Using an unstructured face-toface interview, questions was posed to members of the Nigeria Police and Onyabo Vigilante group in Ikorodu. The data gathered reveals that the community policing partnership between the Nigeria Police and Onyabo Vigilante Group Ikorodu were guided by the following principles of partnership, defines roles and functions, community involvement in crime prevention, clear communication between both partners and respect for human rights and rules of engagement. These principles help not only to better understand the nature and scope of community policing but it also helps fashion out a community policing policy direction for Police organizations, scholars and government policy makers. KEY WORDS: Community. Community Policing. Vigilante group. Partnership.

Abstract:

Malariometric surveys generate data on malaria epidemiology and dynamics of transmission necessary for planning and monitoring of control activities. This study determined the prevalence of malaria and the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) towards malaria infection in Ibeshe, a coastal community. The study took place during the dry season in 10 villages of Ibeshe. All the participants were screened for malaria. A semistructured questionnaire was used to capture sociodemographic data and KAP towards malaria. A total of 1489 participants with a mean age of 26.7±20.0 years took part in the study. Malaria prevalence was 14.7% (95% CI 13.0–16.6%) with geometric mean density of 285 parasites/μL. Over 97% of participants were asymptomatic. Only 40 (2.7%) of the participants were febrile, while 227 (18.1%) were anemic. Almost all the participants (95.8%) identified mosquito bite as a cause of malaria, although multiple agents were associated with the cause of malaria. The commonest symptoms associated with malaria were hot body (89.9%) and headache (84.9%). Window nets (77.0%) were preferred to LLIN (29.6%). Malaria is mesoendemic in Ibeshe during the dry season. The participants had good knowledge of symptoms of malaria; however, there were a lot of misconceptions on the cause of malaria.

Abstract:

Introduction:Human activities exert great pressures on the environment which in turn cause environmental stresses of various intensities depending on the factors involved and the sensitivity of the receiving environment.Objective:This study examines the effects of anthropogenic activities along the sub-urban lagoon fragile coastal ecosystem using DPSIR framework.Results:The results show that the study area has undergone a tremendous change between 1964 and 2015 with the built up area increasing to about 1,080 ha (17.87%) in 2015 from 224 ha (1.32%) in 1964 at an average growth rate of 16.78ha per annum. The nature of the degradation includes an increasing fragility of the ecosystem through the emergence and expansion of wetlands, flooding and erosion as well as a reduction in the benefits from the ecosystem services. Population growth, between 2006 and 2015 for Ikorodu LGA, estimated at 8.84% per annum serves as the most important driving force in reducing the quality of the environment. This is in addition to Pressures emanating from anthropogenic activities. The state of the environment shows continuous resource exploitation (fishing and sand mining) with the impacts of the pressures coming from water pollution, bank erosion, biodiversity loss and flooding. Although there has been a strong policy formulation response from the government, weak implementation is a major challenge.Recommendation:The study recommends public awareness campaigns and the implementation of existing policies to ensure a sustainable sub-urban lagoon coastal environment..

Abstract:

Housing quality differs within neighbourhoods in Lagos peripheral settlements, due to internal and external factors. This study examines differentials in housing quality in Lagos’s peripheral settlements and the factors responsible. Primary data was sourced through structured questionnaires, interviews and observation schedules administered through field survey in study areas. Two stage cluster sampling techniques were adopted for determining the sample size. Firstly, using a purposive sampling, to reduce cost and avoid repetitions, clusters of sixteen and eighteen settlements in Ibeju-Lekki and Ikorodu peri-urban settlements were selected respectively. Secondly, three hundred seventy and three hundred eighty four housing units were selected randomly from the selected housing clusters in Ibeju-Lekki and Ikorodu peripheral settlements respectively. Data analysis was done using statistical analysis to generate frequencies and percentages of responses on socio-economic profile, access to services and households’ perception on neighbourhood quality, internal dwelling quality, external dwelling quality and building materials in the study area. Data processing and analysis for this study were carried out using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) for analysis of the quantitative data. Findings show differentials in the housing developments in the study areas due to various socioeconomic attributes, building materials used and the state government policy on infrastructure development. It is recommended that a data base of demography and the socioeconomic composition of the residents is needed, as this may help to know the infrastructural demand and also, to create balanced distribution of services in the study area in order to eliminate disparities. Keywords: Housing quality; neighbourhood quality; locational quality; infrastructural services; differentials; periurban settlements.

Abstract:

Lagos city has abundant navigable inland waterways which if fully harnessed would help minimise road traffic congestion, pollution and provide low cost means of long distance travel within the city. This study examines inland water transport services on Lagos lagoon focusing on Ikorodu-Ebutte Ero route. Primary data were obtained using structured questionnaires. While, secondary data were sourced from relevant government and private agencies. Data were analysed using descriptive techniques including frequency counts, tables and graphs. The results revealed an inadequate provision of terminal facilities and vessels in the area. It was also found that most (67.3%) of the trips via water transport in the were mainly for work purpose. In addition, low patronage was observed and it was found to be mostly due to comparatively high cost of fares and passenger safety concerns, as indicated by 67.4% and 58.7% of the respondents respectively. Furthermore, high income earners where found to patronise this mode than low income earners. The high frequency of use of water transport by the respondents (71.3% travel by water every day) indicates that, this mode has great potential of being widely adopted, if greater attention is given to its development by both the government and private sector. There is, therefore, a need for more investment in water transportation in the area through the provision of modern infrastructure and vessels.

Abstract:

Proper soil management is germane to sustainable vegetable production. The greatest threat to sustainable agricultural productivity is the declining soil productivity. The reason for this declining soil productivity might not be unconnected with the soil management practices by farmers. This study attempts to isolate factors that are contributing to vegetable farmers’ adoption of soil management practices. Primary data were collected from purposively selected 120 fluted pumpkin vegetable farmers, adopting pre-tested semi-structured interview schedule in Ikorodu Local Government Area. This is predicated on the facts that Ikorodu environment seems to be well adapted for fluted pumpkin production as many hectares of land are cultivated to fluted pumpkin by hundreds of small holders. Probit regression model was used to isolate factors affecting the adoption of sustainable soil management practices. Overall, the model predicted 85.76% of the sample correctly. The findings of the study revealed that number of economically active family members, farmers’ education, livestock holding, membership in farmer's group and credit availability were significantly positive while age of farmer negatively affect adoption of sustainable soil management practice. A unit increased in economically active family members, years of education and livestock standard unit would increase the probability of adoption of technology by 21.3, 5.8 and 7.6% respectively. Likewise, if farmers were made member in the groups and credit made available, the probability of adoption of technology would increase by 46.2 and 46.3% respectively. But a unit increase in the age of household head would decrease the level of adoption by 1.4% indicating old aged farmers do not adopt innovative technologies in agriculture.Keywords: Lagos, adoption, probit, sustainable soil management, vegetable, fluted pumpkin

Abstract:

In this study the level of knowledge, skill and training needs of fish farmers in Ikorodu Local Government Area of Lagos State were investigated. Eighty out of 150 fish farmers currently operating in the Fish Farm Estate, Ikorodu were randomly selected. Data were collected from the farmers with structured interview schedule and were summarised with frequency counts, percentages, mean and correlation coefficient. Result showed that the following practices were carried out by farmers: pond/vats/fibre glass/tank cleaning, water quality maintenance and management, pond fertilisation, brood stock production, spawning, fingerlings sourcing/production, disease prevention, control and management, feed formulation and production/sourcing, record keeping, fish feeding, fish processing, fish storage, fish sorting, pest and predator control, fry care, transfer and feeding, siphoning, and fish transportation. The mean age of the fish farmers were 45±13.0 years with 63.8% being males.Majority (78.8%) weremarried withmean family size of 4±2 .Majority (82.5%) of the farmers had more than twelve years of formal education. The mean farming experience was 8±3 yearswith averagemean income of 1.4million naira.58.8% and 47.5% had high level of knowledge and skill respectively. Training was needed in seven out of the seventeen practices. The major constraints to fish production are high cost of feed and lack of capital. Also, a positive and significant relationship exist between level of knowledge of the farmers and farmers' gender, marital status, membership of cooperative society and fish farming association and primary occupation while age of the farmers had a negative but significant relationshipwith it. It is recommended that training by extension agents should focus the area of training needs and that credit and cost of fish feeds be subsidized

Abstract:

Introduction: Exclusive breastfeeding is a public health intervention and one of the most important strategies for improving infant survival rates. Generally, breastfeeding is practiced all over the world, though with variation in duration. This study therefore examined the level of knowledge and perception of exclusive breastfeeding among pregnant women in Ikorodu, Lagos State. Methodology: In this study, a convenience sampling method was used in selecting 174 respondents from the two selected private hospitals in Ikorodu, Lagos. The instrument for this study was a questionnaire which was well-structured and data obtained from the questionnaire was coded and then inputted into the computer. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21.0 was used for this analysis. Inferential statistics such as logistic regression and Pearson’s correlation test were also used to check for association. The level of signiﬁcance used was 0.05. Result: The result of the study revealed that most (39.1%) of the respondents were between the ages of 25-29 years. Majority (69.5%) of the respondents were married and most (42%) of the respondents had tertiary education. Respondents’ level of knowledge measured on a 14-point rating scale showed that the respondents scored a mean of 5.22±2.28 which translated to a level of knowledge prevalence of 37.3%. Respondents’ perception measured on a 108-point rating showed that they scored a mean of 66.23±8.12 translated to perception prevalence of 61%. Conclusion: In conclusion, younger mothers practiced exclusive breastfeeding, while older mothers practiced non-exclusive breastfeeding of their babies. Mothers with a higher level of education practiced exclusive breastfeeding, while mothers with low or no educational attainment practiced non-exclusive breastfeeding of their babies.

Abstract:

The assessment of the potential groundwater recharge area is extremely important for water quality protection and proper management of ground water systems. The objective of this study was to evaluate systematic groundwater studies using the integration of remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) and hydrogeophysics as a tool to identify groundwater potential areas in Ikorodu, Lagos. In this study, various thematic maps (layers) derived from satellite image classification such as: Land use/ Land cover map, soil map, rainfall map, geological map, slope map derived from SRTM Digital Elevation Model, lineament density map obtained as a result if lineament analysis of the principal component of the image, were all integrated using the weighted overlay tool in the spatial analyst toolbox of ArcGIS 10.5. Ranks and weights of classes and sub-classes of the thematic layers were assigned based on their influences on groundwater occurrence. The vertical electrical sounding data obtained from the study area were used to validate the results of the groundwater potential map and also determine the areas with brackish water, saline water and freshwater and the most probable drillable depth for exploration. The results show that the groundwater potential zones of the study area could be classified into five zones with the following percentage for spatial distribution: “very high” potential zone (0.6%), “high” (4.2%), “moderate” (15.8%), “low” 71.7% and very low potential zone (7.7%). The South-Western region of Ikorodu, close to Oriwu has the highest concentration of groundwater. Imota is characterized with Moderate and Low ground water potentials. From the query results, the aquiferous layers were identified, their yield and potentials determined and the depths to which boreholes can be sunk for the drilling of fresh water were found to be between 20m and 120m respectively. Keywords: Groundwater, Remote sensing, GIS, Hydrogeophysics.

Abstract:

Building roofs represents a critical pathway for sediment mixing with rainwater. This study aims to explore the correlation between roof-top deposited sediment matter in the different areas of the Ikorodu Local Government Area in Lagos, Nigeria. The deposition rate on the roof was studied for 34 weeks in total (i.e., 17 weekly analyses in the rainy season and 17 weekly analyses in the dry season). The total deposition was collected by a 10 inch funnel and directed into a 5 L container, which was partially filled with sterilised water. The roof-top deposition in four different areas was inspected and analysed. The four areas were selected based on the levels of sanitation and vegetation. The experimental results showed that the enumerated total depositions in different areas were higher in the dry season than the rainy season, with the highest deposition occurring in the Harmattan period. The data obtained from this study have evidenced that the contamination from roof-harvested rainwater can mainly be attributed to atmospheric deposition. Another key factor was the hygiene and sanitation of the harvesting areas, including the gutter, pipes and proximity to animal faeces.

Abstract:

The uneven distribution of health care services in Nigeria had been validated the inequalities in the accessibility and the best of fitness care services rendered to citizens. Basic fitness care offerings continue to be a cardinal responsibility of the authorities for the survival of her citizenry. Mostly in the developing country, the accessibility to these health care centres is poorly understood and underserved by the timing populations. there is a need to apprehend the elements that affect or inhibit health care used and what contributed to the use elements in term of distance from residences to the health care amenities and the thickly populace developed round the facilities. This paper focuses on the acceptable evaluation of spatial distribution of health care facilities and proposed for new health centres in some of catchments location that deserves it primarily based on distance and population figures in Ikorodu Local Community Development Area. It was subdivided into Ibese, Ojubode , Local Govt, Police Post, Ebute , Ogoloto , Tos Benson, Ita Elewa, Sambo , Alagbala and Eyita Area with their two land mass for every the catchment area inside the learn about which covered two Ibese Area, Ojubode Area, Local Govt. Area, Police Post Area, Ebute Area, Ogoloto Area, Tos Benson Area, Ita Elewa, Sambo Area, Alagbala Area and Eyita Area covered 128.585 ha, 59.658 ha, 106.793ha, 99.631ha, 140.803ha, 109.485ha, 131.518 ha, 111.625ha, 155.051 ha, 89.698 ha and 112.907 ha.

Abstract:

This study evaluated lightning protective system efficacy on 11kV-132kV substation-power line installation in Ikorodu, Lagos State, Nigeria with reference to cloud to ground(C-G) lightning strike (LS) events. It focus on interception of lightning strikes and its protection with reference to direct lightning strike (DLS) and indirect lightning strike (IDLS). Data were collected from Ikorodu 132/33 kV Transmission Substation and its four major injection stations. This work was carried out using physical measurement of raw data obtained from the high voltage substation. Installations were scaled down and modelled dimensionally using AutoCAD software in order to measure spatial parameters in order to measure the screening of the existing substations and connected lines, as well as the existing cone angles of protection. Probability of lightning efficiency of lightning protective level (LPL) are used for screening evaluation while spike and sky wire angle of protection are used for cone of protection evaluation. Physical measurement of six substations (33/11 kV and 132/33 kV substations) in the studied area were also carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of the installed lightning arresters with respect to the protected devices using applicable standard. The results under the prevailing lightning protective system, LPS, (screening method), revealed that the existing 33/11 kV and 132/33 kV substations are not adequately protected against lightning strike; 132/33 kV substation is more vulnerable to lightning strike than 33/11kV substation and that the incoming 132kV power lines to the substation are adequately protected. The evaluation of the installed distances of all lightning arresters are within standard range and would adequately protect substation transformers against travelling waves (Indirect Stroke) events. The installed lightning arresters (LAs) would adequately protect substation transformers against travelling waves (Indirect Stroke) events. The adequate protection should be reinforced with proposed design scheme in further study in order to mitigate the disastrous effects of lightning strike. Any proposed design of protective system for electric power installations in Nigeria should be simulated using computer aided design software for scaled validation of dimensional and spatial design values in order to mitigate reported failures and uncertainties in identifying causes of observed failures in the system.

Abstract:

Clay is one of the major raw materials in ceramics, paint and paper industries. In this paper, a report is given on the chemical composition of clay deposits in Ilaro and Ikorodu, South West Nigeria and their suitability as raw materials in the above mentioned industries is suggested by comparison of their composition with industry standards. The clay samples were activated with H2SO4 and their moisture content was determined. The mineral content of the clays was determined using atomic absorption spectroscopy, which showed significant presence of Si, Al, Fe, and Ti. The morphology of the clays was studied using scanning electron microscope (SEM/EDX) in combination with X-ray analysis. The investigation revealed the agglomeration of the particles of quartz and rutile on the surface structure of the activated clays. The results obtained from their observed properties and chemical compositions indicate that these clays are suitable for use in the ceramics, paint and paper industries. This proposition is supported by reduction in moisture contents of the activated clay samples from both Ilaro and Ikorodu.Int J Appl Sci Biotechnol, Vol 4(1): 21-26

Abstract:

Nigerian soils are generally low in fertility and enhanced crop yield is only possible through external use of organic and inorganic fertilizers. The present study was carried out under field condition at Teaching and Research Farms, Lagos State Polytechnic, Ikorodu to evaluate effects of compost, cow dung and NPK 15-15-15 fertilizer amendments on the growth and yield performances of Amaranthus hybridus. The obtained results indicated that all treatments significantly achieved an increment in morphological parameters (numbers of leaves stem girth, leaf area and plant height) and fresh weight yield comparing with the control. The best results in terms of these characters were obtained in the following order Cow dung > compost > NPK 15-15-15 and control. Post soil analysis shows that all the treatments reduced the soil pH from 6.20 to a range between 5.58-5.68 and available phosphorus, magnesium, organic carbon, total nitrogen and CEC increased significantly compared with control plot. Results suggest that the use of cow dung and composts has potential to improve the growth and yield of amaranth and improves the soil physiochemical properties in the study area.
