1. A STUDY INTO THE INFLUENCE OF FIELD STUDY ON ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF GEOGRAPHY STUDENTS (Case study of Geography Department, UNIBEN)

Field study is the collection of information outside a laboratory, library or workplace setting (Wikipedia, 2016). The approaches and methods used in field study vary across disciplines. For example, biologists who conduct field study may simply observe animals interacting with their environments, whereas social scientists conducting field study may interview or observe people in their natural environments to learn their languages, folklore, and social structures. Geographers however carry ou...

3. THE LAND USE ACT OF 1978: APPRAISAL, PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY: The importance of land to man on earth through all ages can hardly be overemphasized. Land, though represents only about two-fifth of the earth’s surface, it provides a platform on which man’s activities are predicated. It is however ironical that while the world population increases, the land in supply appears...

5. A GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION RETRIVAL SYSTEM (GIRS)

Abstract

Under Private International Law, enforcement of foreign judgment or its recognition is the whole mark of every proceeding. Without them, this spare of law will make little or no sense at all and international transactions will suffer a setback. They serve as guarantee that an act adjudged wrong by the court of competent jurisdiction in one state will same effect in other state. This research work intends to make comparative analysis of the conditions and procedures of enfor...

6. A STRATEGIC ASSESSMENT OF THE JOINT MILITARY TASK FORCE IN THE NIGER DELTA, 2003-2010

ABSTRACT

Existing studies on the Niger Delta crisis focus largely on causes of the problem, the insurgency tactics of the militants, and some non-violent response mechanisms of the Nigerian state. These studies have neglected the use of military force to terminate the conflict. This study tries to bridge this gap by examining an aspect of counter-insurgency in the region by the Federal Government. The study is particularly focused on the preparedness, deployment, capabilities and im...

7. AN ASSESSMENT OF CADASTRAL PRACTICE IN NIGER STATE FOR EFFECTIVE LAND TITLING SYSTEM

ABSTRACT

The product of a Cadastral Surveys is an essential subset for effective land titling. Land titling procedure in Niger State has been an age-long concern among geo-spatial experts. This study presents a revalidation survey of 20 selected Title Deed Plans (TDPs) with a view to identify possible positional, dimensional, orientational and locational errors in them. The V30 Pro GNSS DGPS receiver unit was used to conduct the revalidation survey and compared with existing TDPs. F...

10. ANALYSIS OF AGROFORESTRY PRACTICES IN KATSINA STATE, NIGERIA

ABSTRACT

The study investigated agroforestry farming among some international organizations, Nigerian Government, Kastina State Government and farmers in Katsina State. The aim of the study was to provide a baseline information on agroforestry practices in Kastina State. The practices undertaken by these bodies include establishment of shelterbelt, windbreak and woodlots, others were reforestation/plantation establishment, trees on farmland, homegarden and street planting. These bod...

11. ANALYSIS OF AGROFORESTRY PRACTICES IN THE GUINEA SAVANNAH ECOLOGICAL ZONE: A CASE STUDY OF THE FEDERAL CAPITAL TERRITORY OF NIGERIA

ABSTRACT

This study examined the nature of agroforestry practices in the FCT, as an alternative to the conventional cropping systems. This is done not only as an alternative to the provision of food, but also as a strategy towards enhancing environmental stability. Furthermore, the study aimed at providing data on the practice of agroforestry in the territory and therefore highlighted the extent of agroforestry in the territory, the ownership and management of agroforestry practices...

12. APPLICATION OF GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY IN ANALYSING URBAN DENSIFICATION AND HOUSING MARKET IN BIDA, NIGERIA

ABSTRACT

Urban densification is as a result of increase in the level of urbanisation of a limited area which causes challenges in the housing affordability due to the increase in price of houses, high rental values, high demand and shortage in supply to meet the need of the urban residence. This study examines urban densification as an element of urban growth and how it can provide extra spatial information in explaining the variance of housing market of Bida with specific emphasis...

13. ASSESSMENT OF GNSS-BASED INTEGRATED WATER VAPOUR OVER NIGERIA CORS NETWORK

ABSTRACT

Water vapour is a very dynamic component of the atmosphere. It greatly influences the atmospheric stabilization mechanism. Hence, it is very difficult to measure or model using classical meteorological systems or models. Tropical atmosphere holds the largest amount of water vapour, thus its characteristics of high climate uncertainty. Interestingly, geodesists have devised methods for estimating the extent to which signals propagated from GNSS satellites to ground‐based GNS...

14. COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL VARIATIONS IN HYDROLOGICAL PARAMETERS AT KAINJI AND SHIRORO DAMS, NIGER STATE, NIGERIA

ABSTRACT

Climate variability has been one of the major issues of the 21st century. The idea is to understand the differences in the climatic conditions and long-term catchment regimes using mean monthly seasonality indices and to explore the differences in the hydrological parameters at the long-term event scale. This comparatively analyze of spatial temporal variations in hydrological parameters at Kainji and Shiroro Dams in Niger State towards achieving a better future plan in the...

15. EFFECT OF PRECIPITATION EFFECTIVENESS INDICES ON THE YIELD OF SOME SELECTED CEREAL CROPS IN SOKOTO STATE, NIGERIA.

ABSTRACT

Agriculture in Nigeria is mainly dependent on rainfall which is variable in nature. Therefore, the need to have a full knowledge of its pattern and trend is pertinent in order to achieve food sufficiency. This study examined the effect of precipitation effectiveness indices: Onset date, cessation date, length of rainy season and occurrence of pentad dry spells (5, 10 and ≤15) days on the yield of millet, sorghum, rice and maize in Sokoto State, between 1993 and 2008.
