1. COMPUTERIZED LAND INFORMATION SYSTEM

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY: Land use, land valuation, is among the oldest questions in economic theory, (Shavell, 2004). Land is an essential input (factor of production) for agriculture, and agriculture is by far the most important economic activity in preindustrial societies. With the advent of industrialization, important new uses for land emerge, as sites for factories, warehouses, offices, and urban agglomerations. Also, the value of real property taking the form of man-mad...

2. CRITICAL EXAMINATION ON LAND USE AND ALLOCATION PROCEDURE

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY: In recent times there has been a rapant growth of towns and cities in this country. This growth has been accompanied with an ever increasing physical social and the technological changes as well as complex Urban Pattern of development.

This fast development with its attendant sprawling effects on the original settlement and town out skirted always cause some land use congestion. Personal and political pressures etc. within a...

3. INTEGRATED GEOPHYSICAL METHODS IN MAPPING SANDFILLED CHANNEL

ABSTRACT: Integrated geophysical survey has been used in mapping a sandfilled channel within Mountain Top University. The width of the sandfilled region has been mapped with the aid of historical satellite images but the thickness and depth are unknown. Therefore, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), and Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) methods were integrated to delineate the thickness and depth of the sandfilled/river channel, characterise the infill materials and de...

4. INVESTIGATION OF OIL/DIESEL CONTAMINATION AND WASTE WATER SEEPAGE USING 2-D ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY AND GROUND PENETRATION RADAR

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

Background to the study: Soil has many varying functions aside from providing the primary form for which plant exist and reproduce it also has the function of separating and absorbing while also restricting the movement of toxic material further which could harm other components of the biosphere (Wyszkowski et al., 2020). Diesel, a petroleum secondary product is a fuel high in demand globally because of its ability to provide high amounts of energy...

5. COMPOSITIONAL CHARACTERIZATION AND INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION OF KUTIGI CLAY OCCURRENCE, CENTRAL BIDA BASIN, NIGERIA

ABSTRACT

This study investigated the physical, mineralogical and geochemical properties of Kutigi clay deposit in the central Bida Basin of Nigeria. The previous studies on the clay deposit have focused solely on estimating its reserves and on the mineralogical and geochemical properties. Attention was not given to identifying its potential industrial usage with respect to its physical properties. The result from field study shows the stratigraphy position of the clay deposit to be...

6. ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS OF URBANISATION ON GROUNDWATER RESOURCES IN PARTS OF MINNA METROPOLIS, NORTH-CENTRAL NIGERIA

ABSTRACT

A study on the geology and hydrogeology of part of Minna Sheet 164NE was conducted with the aim of establishing the groundwater potential and control mechanism. Minna lies along longitude 6°30′E and 6°32′E and latitude 9°37′36′′ N and 9°39′34.5′′ N covering a total area of 14 km2. The area has a high population most of whom depends on groundwater for domestic uses. Geology of the area was studied on a scale of...

7. EVALUATION OF GEOLOGICAL MATERIALS WITH PLASTIC ADDITIVES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF DURABLE PAVEMENT BLOCKS: CASE STUDY OF OFFA, NORTH CENTRAL NIGERIA

ABSTRACT

The management of plastic waste (whose generation is on the increase) poses a great challenge to environmentalists owning to its non-biodegradability. The research project aims at using waste plastic materials as binding groundmass in place of cement thereby producing pavement blocks that are more durable and more failure resistant than the existing cement derived pavement blocks(whose water absorption rate as well as moderate resistance to acidic condition is a major disad...

8. GEOCHEMISTRY, MINERALOGY AND BENEFICIATION OF IRONSTONE FROM BIDA BASIN, NIGERIA

ABSTRACT

The Bida Basin is a NW-SE trending inland sedimentary basin in North Central Nigeria that extends from Kontagora in the north to slightly beyond Lokoja in the south and its mesas consist of ironstone layers from which economic iron ore can be won. The stratigraphic succession in the basin comprises the Bida sandstone at the base in the northern part of the basin followed successively upward by the Sakpe, Enagi and Batati formations. The geochemistry, mineralogy and benefici...

9. GEOLOGY AND HYDROGEOLOGY OF PART OF MAKURDI SHEET 251 SW, NORTH CENTRAL NIGERIA

ABSTRACT

An integrated geological, geophysical and hydrogeological studies were carried out to investigate the groundwater potential and quality in part of Makurdi, North Central Nigeria. The study area is entirely sedimentary and is dominantly fine to coarse grained sandstone with varying amounts of silt and clay. The schlumberger array was used for the geophysical investigation with a maximum AB/2 of 100m. A total of 20 Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) stations were established....

10. GE OLOG IC AL AND G E OTE CH NIC AL CONTROL OF G U L L Y EROSION, UNGOGO, KANO, NORTH WESTERN NIGERIA

ABSTRACT

Gully erosion is an environmental hazard that is ravaging the landscape of Ungogo area. This study was carried out to investigate the geological and geotechnical control of gully erosion in the study area. Geological field mapping was carried out to assess the causes and extent of erosion. Soil samples were collected from four (4) gully sites at depth between 0 - 5m, 0.5 - 1m and 1 - 1.5m for geotechnical analyses. Four (4) index properties of soil were determined: Specific...

11. GEOLOGY, MINERALOGY AND GEOCHEMISTRY OF IRONSTONE EXPOSED AROUND MANIGI LOCALITY, NORTHERN BIDA BASIN, NIGERIA

ABSTRACT

The geology, mineralogy and geochemistry of Ironstone around Manigi locality was investigated in order to provide a comprehensive data on the geological, geochemical and mineralogical composition. Field work, sedimentological logging, and sample collection were carried out at a road cut near Manigi in the northern part of Bida basin. Sixteen representative ironstone samples were subjected to geochemical and mineralogical studies using X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, X-ray...
