The physicochemical parameters of groundwater at Auchi and South-Ibie were investigated to determine underground water quality in this environment. Water sampled locations in Auchi were categorized as Iyekhei (Iyekhei), Auchi Poly Water (Auchi PW), Auchi Poly Hostel (Auchi PH), Double Delight Hostel (DDH); South-Ibie locations are Levis Gas Plant (LGP), Pastoral Centre (PC), Global Castle Hostel Sawmill Road (GCHS), Arsenal Hostel and, Lagos Street (AHLS). A total number of 80 water samples from eight locations were collected and analyzed using some statistical metrics to determine the relationship among measured parameters. The pH of water samples ranged from 1.4 at GCHS to 4.12 at AHLS. The result indicated that all the investigated water samples have low pH values with a high alkalinity level. Total dissolved solids (TDS) of 300mg/L, 400mg/L, and 500mg/L were obtained from the water samples at Iyekhei, Auchi PH, and DDH. These values are within the allowable World Health Organization (WHO) standard. However, the chloride level for all locations was very high except for Iyekhei, with a value of 115 mg/L, which is accepted within the WHO requirement of 250 mg/L. Conductivity values of four sampled water locations; namely, Auchi PH, DDH, PC, and GCHS, are within the allowable limit. High conductivity values of 304 sm/cm, 116.7sm/cm, and 845 sm/cm were obtained for LGP, Auchi PW, Iyekhei, respectively. All the water sampled locations' results indicated that none of the sampled water is within the WHO required standard of 20oC to 23oC. The statistical metrics showed a strong relationship between the conductivity and chloride concentration with R2=0.7174; this may be related to some dissolved conductive ions in the water sampleThe research study's output is imperative to understand the relationship between different groundwater parameters to develop and good groundwater quality.

The spatial structure of modern settlements is organized based on development control. The compliance of urban residents with development control regulations makes it possible for cities to be well structured for physical, aesthetic, and economic developments. The study aims to assess public compliance with development control in Auchi. A sample of 378 residents of Auchi was used in the study. The study area was divided into six strata, and samples were selected from the strata based on their population sizes. The instrument was a 5-point Likert-type option, which was administered to the respondents. The findings revealed that there was low compliance with development control standards in Auchi. There was awareness of developers on compliance but did not translate into compliance. The building coverage specified by development control regulations was grossly violated. There was a medium correlation (0.55) between education and level of non-compliance; the variability of development control non-compliance in the six quarters of Auchi was statistically significant, and the eta squared effect was also large. It was recommended that the town planning regulations be reassessed for a better practical effect; monitoring of developments to encourage compliance should be strengthened; and town planning manuals should be used to monitor and control developments.

Texto completoResumen
Ancient African civilizations flourished for centuries in large expanse of land stretching from the Nile Valley to West Africa. In what is known as the Nigeran nation today was formerly made up of kingdoms and empires. One of such kingdoms was the Auchi Kingdom which was invaded by the Nupe in 1860 and they introduced some of their socio-cultural practices but the British dislodged the Nupe in 1897 by establishing British colonial rule which brought about socio-economic exploitation and also further innovations in the Auchi kingdom. Many socio-cultural and political practices of the Auchi Kingdom was abolished and the Nupe people introduced their own cultural and traditional practices after they established their imperial rule over the Auchi Kingdom. It must be said that many indigenous African traditions and socio-cultural practices dwindled away while some remained after European colonialism. Drawing from oral sources and ethnographic research in the region, the article argues that Auchi Kingdom in Nigeria had well-organized socio-cultural and political practices that was the binding force of the people before the Kingdom was overrun by the Nupe people that altered their indigenous practices in 1860 prior to the arrival of the British colonialist in 1897.

Texto completoResumen
Academic discourse on religion and inter-group relations over the years has been trending in Nigeria. This is due to several cases of inter-ethnic and inter-religious conflicts witnessed in multi-cultural and ethnic Nigeria. The paper argues that despite the escalating ethnic and religious crisis the Islamic religion had played significant roles in the lives of the people of the Auchi kingdom since 1914. It also affirms the view that, as far as Islam is concerned, there were transformative roles the religion played in the lives of the people since 1914 till date. A high level of cordial inter-group relations has been achieved between the Auchi Kingdom and neighbouring communities, owing to inter-communal mechanisms of the same religion and similar culture over the years of interaction. The Islamic religion, which preaches peace, has become interwoven with the cultural practices of the people of the Auchi Kingdom This paper relies heavily on primary and secondary sources. Consulted written sources were cross examined.

This project is on the production of a Street Guide Map of Part of Auchi town in Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State. The remote sensing method of map production was adopted for this project. Geo-referenced satellite imagery was downloaded in WGS84 datum and was saved in Geo-Tiff file format from Terra Incognita. The image was imported, and re-projected into Minna/UTM zone 32 and mosaicked in ArcGis 10.3 software environment, which was printed in A0 paper size and was used during ground-truthing. Garmin GPS60 was used to obtain the coordinates of well-located points which were identified on the printed satellite image and used to verify the accuracy of the georeferenced image. Layers were created and the features were digitized into their respective layers, some simple queries were carried out to test the database such as identification of hotels along the major road, the position of a particular school e.t.c. Map annotation and compilation were done, and at the end, a street guide map of part of Auchi Town was printed on A0 paper size at a scale of 1:10,000. In conclusion, the newly updated map can serve as a base map for other applications such as tourism navigation, urban planning, development traffic studies and control, crime monitoring, utility management, etc.

ABSTRACT: The inappropriate practical assessment of the Visual Arts for ideal practical evaluation has necessitated the general outcry on the factors responsible for it. This paper tries to investigate the factors responsible for the non-compliance with credible practical assessment in Visual Arts for quality certification. It is giving some insight into solutions that will help in stamping out these inhibiting factors against the credible practical assessment in Visual Arts. When more emphasis are laid on practical courses and standard practical test examination conducted, it will go a long way in solving the unemployment problem observed as possible fallout of assessment methods and emphasis paper qualification at the expense of practical practice. It is suggested that examination materials be provided at least a month to the commencement of examination, more time should be allotted to practical examinations, supervision of practical examination should be handled with more seriousness, and the joint assessment of practical examination works be introduced. Finally, it is recommend possible ways of conducting practical examination to all stake holders in Visual Arts in Nigeria.KEY WORD: Practical Assessment; Visual Arts; Quality Certification; Examination Materials; National Development of Nigeria.

The project focus on design of parking lot in school of Engineering, the parking lot design objective is to maximize the total number of parking spaces available with the considerations that the design should allow for appropriate landscaping of the parking areas without conflicting with lighting. The rapid development of available land in Auchi polytechnic, Auchi has produced large increase in land usage, to the extent that the use of large areas of land for parking cars in the school is uneconomical. It is obvious therefore, that optimum use of the available space in the school for effective space management for car storage during office hours can only be achieved through the use of good parking lot design. The peculiarity of school of Engineering in terms of shortage of space for expansion purposes cannot be overlooked, hence the disorderliness in terms of traffic parking.

AbstractOutcrop mapping as well as electromagnetic and ground magnetic surveys was carried out within Auchi and Igarra localities in order to attempt an interpretation of the geology of the areas and to delineate the boundary between basement and sedimentary terrains. Geologic mapping was done by collecting samples of outcrops at five different locations within the areas. Three lithofacies were identified within Auchi area and they are the basal shale unit, tabular cross-bedded sandstone unit and ferruginized sandstone unit. The pebbly shale is greyish black in colour; the cross-bedded sandstone unit is greyish white, coarse-grained at the base and finer at the top with pockets of clay, while the ferruginized sandstone is dark red. Rocks of the Precambrian basement complex underlie Igarra area. The area is underlain by metasediments that have been intruded by igneous rocks. Results show the presence of three major groups of igneous and metamorphic rocks within the area, and they are the migmatite–gneiss complex, metasediments and porphyritic granites. The electromagnetic and ground magnetic data acquired along Profile X located along Auchi–Igarra–Ibillo road were processed using Microsoft Excel Software and the resulting plots delineated areas with lower electrical conductivities and higher magnetic susceptibilities, as well as areas with higher electrical conductivities and lower magnetic susceptibilities. The areas with lower electrical conductivities and higher magnetic susceptibilities are interpreted to be underlain by basement rocks, while the areas with higher electrical conductivities and lower magnetic susceptibilities are underlain by sedimentary rocks. The plots also delineated the most likely basement–sedimentary boundary in the area.

Auchi is the headquarters of Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State, which is opening up with many developments and diverse construction activities taking place. It was observed that there are limited numbers of reliable survey controls to check these activities; hence the study focuses on second order control (Class 1) extension along the New Auchi- Igarra road to the Polytechnic (Up Iyekhei) road through the Water Board. The controls serve as references for engineering, topographic, cadastral, and route survey projects in and around the project location. An in-situ check using point positioning technique revealed that they were in good condition for use (FGP/EDY072, FGP/EDY089, and FGP/EDY090) were used for extension, and an in-situ check using point positioning technique revealed that they were in good condition for A total of 15 points (AME 001 to AME 015) were observed in static mode with Hi Target GNSS dual frequency receivers and were post processed based on the Clark 1880 spheroid while the total length was 8.503km (8503m). The interval of the new controls ranged between 58.30m and 1569.76m; which is aimed at providing users within these routes a good proximity to at least three of the controls for effective usage. Not less than fifteen satellites were acquired by the GNSS receivers for every observation, and a time range of not less than 60 minutes (1 hour) was used for data acquisition at every station, with a Positional Dilution of Precision (PDOP) value that ranged between 1.1 and 1.5. The study was intended for horizontal control only, but the vertical control values were obtained as well. For easy future location of the new extended controls, a proper description of the controls was carried and recorded in appropriate field sheets. The entire survey was carried out according to specification and is fit to be used for subsequent lower order surveys within the project area.

African communication is an age-long dissemination system. Its continuous existence in the ever-growing Nigerian society is of interest to so many communication scholars. This study was conducted to ascertain what channels of the African communication system still exist and how these influence the religious setting in Africa using Nigeria as a case study. A survey method was adopted to investigate the problem in the two traditional kingdoms of Uzairue and Auchi, both in Edo state. A set of questionnaires were designed to elicit responses from the Christian respondents, and interviews were also conducted with chiefs of two selected traditional communities of Iyamho and Auchi. The secularization theory was used to explain the topic. The findings of this study reveal that African communication channels, particularly the talking drum, pot drum and wooden drum, are commonly used in rural settings and these have crept into the religious (Christian) settings where they are used as instruments of praise, worship and choir presentations. This study is aimed at providing useful information for the teaching of African communication systems in the departments of communication and media studies in Nigerian universities, in particular, and Africa in general. It will also help Africans appreciate the value of African communication instruments in the modern world as well as traditional African communication channels used in churches. This study recommends that further research should be conducted to ascertain why there is a decline in the use of African communication instruments.

The Auchi area of Edo state which lies within the Benin flank of the Anambra Basin host shaly sediment exposures that have been classified by previous researches as units of the Mamu Formation. This study evaluated samples of this sediment from Igodor near Auchi for its geochemical and mineralogical properties, and intereted its, depositional environment and geotectonic setting. In order to achieve this, field studies were carried out and representative samples obtained for Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS) analyses of major oxides, trace and rare earth elements. X-Ray Diffraction analysis was also carried out to determine the mineralogical composition. Some of the minerals determined were Aragonite and galena. Binary plots, triplots and elemental ratio plots including SiO2/, Al2O3, Th/Sc, Th/Co and La/Sc , Th-Sc-Zr, and the abundance of Cr, Ni were employed to determine the provenance. The concentration of detrital indicators such as SiO2, Al2O3 and TiO2, with averages of 51.95, 25.34 and 1.39 respectively, indicate high detrital influx into the Benin Flank of the Anambra basin. SiO2/Al2O3 ratios of 1.80-2.20, indicate that the shales were made up of pure kaolinite. The Ni and Cr abundance indicated a mafic and felsic provenance for the sediments, however, Th/Sc, Th/Co and La/Sc ratios show that the provenance was predominantly felsic, while the Th-Sc-Zr triplot shows that the depositional setting was passive.

Gully erosion is a severe ecological concern in Auchi and its environs, which has led to destruction of lives and properties. Termite reworked soils have been observed to possess improved engineering properties and have over the years been used to improve soil properties. This research therefore seeks to mitigate the effects of the erosion by stabilizing the gully soils using termite-reworked soils of different genetically diverse origins. Soils from gully walls and beds from two gully erosion sites in the Auchi area and termite-reworked soils from different geological terrains were sampled. All the soils were analyzed for the determination of natural moisture content, grain size analyses, and Atterberg limits. The gully soil samples were thereafter compacted with termite-reworked soils at optimum blending ratio ranging between 27 to 50% by weight gotten through an arithmetic method by adopting grading limits for soil-aggregate mixtures. Shear strength parameters were determined on the compacted soils at OMC. The results revealed that the gully soil is non-plastic unconsolidated poorly graded sand with uniformity coefficient between (1.70-2.50), coefficient of curvature (0.77-1.15), natural moisture content between (4.00-9.00), while the termite reworked soils of both terrains are fairly graded inorganic soil of low to medium plasticity composed of kaolinite as the dominant clay mineral, indicating non-swelling and shrinkage potentials. Both termite-reworked soils are classified as lean clay soils, indicative of their suitable binding properties. The gully soils possess low maximum dry density showing the soils are unconsolidated and friable while the effect of the stabilization increases the MDD and reduces the OMC. Pre-stabilized gully soils have an average cohesion value of 15.5 KN/m2 indicating a very loose soil while the SBT (Sedimentary base termitarium) stabilized gully soil and the BCT (Basement complex termitarium) stabilized gully soil have an average cohesion value of 51.3 KN/m2 and 57.3 KN/m2 indicating the presence of binding material. Conclusively, blending of gully soil with termite-reworked soils significantly enhanced the cohesion between the grain particles of the gully soils, improved its strength and can thus help prevent gully.

The purpose/objective of the paper was to investigate the place of Pastoral Communication in the life of the Church in Bauchi Diocese, Nigeria. Leaning on the interaction theory, this paper which employed the qualitative method of study found that a well grounded Pastoral Communication would facilitate active participation of everyone one in the evangelizing mission of the Local Church. It recommended harnessing communication media and human communication as well as ensuring feedback mechanism and periodic evaluation as practical ways of revamping Pastoral Communication in Bauchi Diocese and the Church in the Nigeria. It concluded that Pastoral Communication creates image makers for the Church in Bauchi and the country at large.

This study interrogates narrow-mindedness and laziness leading many of the Nigerian undergraduates to be tempted to cheat and fraud on Internet instead of working hard for their studies. The author proposes a contextual survey around a tendency also called “yahooism”, “yahoo-yahooism”, as most of the first attempted cybercrimes were realized by sending yahoo emails. This harmful tendency is contrasted with Prof Obiora Ike’s teaching on the value of hard work as the road to wealth. The study used the quantitative survey method of 372 undergraduates from two purposively selected higher in-stitutions in Nigeria, namely: Edo State University Uzairue and Federal Polytechnic Auchi, both in Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State, Nigeria. A questionnaire with a set of nine semi-structured questions is used to obtain data from the students between 15th July and 15th August 2022.

This study was initiated to investigate the proximate and some mineral compositions of ripe plantain peels and palm oil mill slurry obtained from some locations in Edo State, Nigeria. Results showed that the ripe plantain peels collected from Auchi, Ekpoma and Benin gave crude protein (CP) of 10.50, 11.08 and 10.50 % respectively; EE of 24.03, 25.02 and 23.84% respectively, Ash of 11.93, 12.47 and 11.00 % and 30.73, 34.87 and 37.15 % for NFE respectively. The results also showed that CF and NFE were significantly (P<0.05) different with regard to Locations as the highest value 10.66 % were obtained from Benin City, which significantly (P<0.05) differ from Ekpoma (7.99 %) and close to the value 9.59 % recorded for Auchi. The proximate composition of the palm oil mill slurry (POMS) from OKOMU, PRESCO, UDO and Benin City revealed crude protein (CP) values of 2.62, 2.04, 3.79 and 3.21 % respectively, EE of 15.76, 17.59, 12.50 and 17.62 % respectively. The comparison between local processor and industrial processor revealed that the locally processed oil palm slurry gave higher crude protein content of 3.50 % compared with 2.33 % from industrially processed slurry and the locally processed slurry had higher crude fat content. This may be accounted for by the efficiency of industrial facilities and processing methods. The results of this study has shown the proximate composition of ripe plantain peels and palm oil mill slurry as non-conventional feedstuffs that can be used effectively as animal feed to reduce production cost.

Information Systems (IS) are embedded in the core of almost every business function in modern organizations; however, the field of education is not an exception to this phenomenon. Tertiary Institutions around the world are investing considerable amount of money to create and Implement Information Systems strategies that meet their students’ and staff institutional needs. While Tertiary Institutions encourage their stakeholders to implement one or more of these new technologies for their planning and delivery of services, various other factors inhibit the effective implementation of Information System strategies. This paper, optimistically, will establish the availability of Information System resources in Nigeria Tertiary Institutions and explore the effective implementation of Information System in Nigeria Tertiary Institutions. Four (4) Tertiary Institutions were selected for the survey: these are Ambrose Alli University Ekpoma (AAU); Auchi Polytechnic (AP); Edo University Uzairue (EUU); and University of Benin, (UNIBEN) Benin City.

Church growth can be internal, extension, and cross-cultural. Three critical areas to measure the viability of an ecclesiastical area are manpower, finance, and infrastructure. The Anglican diocese of Niger Delta North (DNDN) was inaugurated May 16, 1996 as the 53rd diocese in Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) with focus on missions and evangelism. To what extent has DNDN demonstrated viability especially in manpower development within twenty five years (1996-2021) of her mission work? The historical and descriptive methods were applied to unravel the task of this research. Data were collected from primary and secondary sources. The study revealed that Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) has harvested for the expansion of the work of God, thirteen bishops from DNDN within twenty-five years of her mission enterprise. Three were to shepherd the diocese, five lead extension dioceses which were birthed by DNDN, and another five for cross-cultural dioceses. Among these, two have been elevated to the apex ecclesiastical leadership position of an Archbishop. Thus, DNDN is a good ground for harvesting leaders for missions and evangelism in Nigeria and beyond. Downsizing DNDN rather than weaken her viability as some had feared, has increased her fruitfulness, growth and relevance to the community. These developments can be sustained and expanded through systematic teachings and intentional discipleship. Partnership with the extension and cross-cultural bishops and their dioceses are needed in church planting, human and material development. Further study on the inter-relationship between these dioceses will enrich Nigerian ecclesiastical history.

The sedimentary rock in the Auchi area of Edo State constitutes part of the Upper Cretaceous Deposits of the Anambra Basin, which has its depocentre in Eastern Nigeria. Lithostratigraphic and Sedimentological studies carried out on twenty eight (28) selected samples from a section of a road–cut show that the sediments range from fine through medium to coarse grained. Sorting is poor to moderate. Grain size analysis shows that the sediments are strongly fine skewed and they exhibit mesokurtic to platykurtic kurtosis. These coupled with the various colours observed in the sediment, ranging from whitish sand through yellowish brown, pink and reddish brown possibly indicate a non–marine environment and a fluviatile to deltaic environment of sedimentation is suggested. The sediments might have been transported in a fairly high energy medium and deposited under a slightly fluctuating velocity.

Texto completoResumen
Although Spiritual Intelligence enjoys recent recognition in research as a human potential to live a meaningful and fulfilled life even amid uncertainties and distress, no known study has been done among young people especially seminarians in Nigeria. Thus, this study uses the correlational research design to explore the relationship between spiritual intelligence and psychological distress among the seminarians of the Catholic Diocese of Aba, Nigeria. The objectives are to determine the seminarians’ levels of spiritual intelligence, their levels of psychological distress, and the relationship between spiritual intelligence and psychological distress among them. Forty-nine (49) major seminarians from the Catholic Diocese of Aba were recruited using the census method. Data collection was done through questionnaires delivered to each participant on google forms. Two standardised instruments – the Integrated Spiritual Intelligence Scale (ISIS-45) and the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) were used to assess the participants’ spiritual intelligence and psychological distress respectively. SPSS (version 26) aided the data analysis. The results showed that the seminarians had an average spiritual intelligence level (n = 49, M = 72.1%, SD = .42) and an average psychological distress level (n = 49, M = 55.8%, SD = 6.46). The Pearson correlation showed a weak positive relationship between spiritual intelligence and psychological distress among the participants. There was no significant relationship between spiritual intelligence and psychological distress among the seminarians of the Catholic Diocese of Aba (r = .066, p = .653). The findings provide an increased understanding of the relationship between spiritual intelligence and psychological distress among the population studied. The study suggests the need for more investigation into the value of spiritual intelligence and the necessity of its improvement for seminarians as young people and as future leaders who will need to have the necessary resources to guide others in their wellbeing in a distressed country like Nigeria.

Aim: Cookies from rice, banana and cashew-nut flour blends were prepared as alternative to gluten-free baby-led food for children.
Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out in the Chemistry Laboratory, Department of Science Laboratory Technology, University of Medical Sciences, Ondo, Nigeria and Food Processing Laboratory, Department of Food Technology, Auchi Polytechnic, Auchi, Nigeria between August, 2022 and January, 2023.
Methodology: Baby-led weaning cookies were formulated from flour blends as 100% raw rice (RRC), 50% rice and 50% wheat (RWC) and 40% rice, 20% cashew and 40% unripe banana (RCB) and their physical properties, sensory attributes, proximate properties, mineral compositions, vitamin profiles and anti-nutrients were determined and compared with 100% commercial cookie (CMC) with the view to substituting wheat flour with suitable flour blends with enhanced nutritional quality.
Results: The peak diameter (10.40±0.20 mm), thickness (6.37±0.06 mm) and weight (17.65±0.04 g) were obtained in RCB. Spread ratio was highest (2.66±0.11) and lowest (1.42±0.01) in CMC and RWC respectively while spread factor decreased from 100% in CMC to 77.19% (RRC), 53.46% (RWC) and 62.47% (RWC). The grittiness, texture, aroma, taste and general acceptability of RCB were significantly similar to those of CMC (P < 0.05). Na, K, Mg and Zn contents increased in RCB. Proximate compositions (%) of the cookies formulated varied significantly from CMC. Peak crude protein (14.49±0.59), crude fibre (4.03±0.02) and fat (32.22±0.00) in RCB, ash (3.28±0.02) and carbohydrate by difference (58.15±0.13) in CMC and moisture (18.19±0.11) in RRC. The peak values of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) and water-soluble vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, B9, B12, C) were most abundant in RCB. The proportions (mg/g) of phytate, oxalate, tannins and phenols in the cookies formulated were comparatively lower than the lethal dose, implying that the cookies would be safe for consumption.
Conclusion: RCB cookie had excellent nutritional quality, which, as a novel baby-led weaning cookie, could serve as a suitable alternative to commercial cookies.

Texto completoResumen
The issue of participation, communion, and the general sharing of all the baptized in the mission of the Church is central to the discussions going on in preparation for the “Synod on Synodality. ”At the heart of this discussion, therefore, is the collaboration and sharing which should be at the heart of liturgical ministry. This paper contributes to the discussion by studying the origins of ministries in Christ and the early Church. It posits that collaboration is at the heart of the exercise of liturgical ministries and that the variance in the practice of this collaboration within the various churches of the Universal Church has a lot to do with the cultural experiences over time of the various churches. With this established, the example from Minna diocese in Nigeria demonstrates that collaboration in ministry, despite the challenges that abound in its practice, is not something that belongs to the ancient Church but one that is being realized in the diocese of Minna Nigeria, and thus, a possible example for other churches in the spirit of synodality.

Texto completoResumen
This paper took its departure from a research project on a new programme to address gully erosion and its effects in Auchi and Benin City, Edo State, southern Nigeria. No public policy or strategy to address gully erosion exists and previous government amelioration has been inconclusive. We gathered sociodemographic and other data on 1900 respondents with a questionnaire, interview and direct nonparticipant observation. Among others, we found that gully erosion affected mainly the poor and powerless segment of society; material poverty is underscored by ecological poverty and there is poverty of interventions to check the disaster. Several extant practices aggravate the disaster and there is no communal ameliorative response. We conclude that affected persons are alienated from governments and their environment. Dysfunctional behaviour, nonchalance in the face of disaster point to fatalism and anomie. New policy should address poverty, community education and planning to stem overurbanisation.

Summary Land snails are sources of protein to man and are hosts to a number of parasites. It is imperative that the roles of the snail hosts and parasites are clearly defined. Before then however, the parasites of the different land snails collected in any locality should be identified. Land snails were collected in the wild in both dry and wet seasons. The internal organs and the faeces were examined for the presence of parasite. In the rainy season of 2015, a total of 272 snails were collected across four major towns (Benin, Uromi, Ekpoma and Auchi) in Edo State, Nigeria, while in the dry season, fewer snails (n=91) were handpicked. The snail species seen are: Achatina achatina (Linnaeus, 1758), Achatina fulica (Férussac, 1821), Acharchatina marginata (Swainson, 1982), Limicolaria aurora (Jay, 1839), L. flammea (Müller, 1774) and Limicolariopsis spp. The larvae of Strongyloides stercoralis were isolated from the various snail species with overall prevalence of 54.04 %. Snails positive with Alaria mesocercariae were L. aurora, L. flammea and Limicolariopsis spp. Additionally, few L. flammea were positive of the cercariae of Drocoelium dedriticum. Meanwhile, some samples of A. fulica harboured larvae of Angiostrongylus cantonesis, sporocysts of Fasciola gigantica and Schistosoma mansoni. Therefore, these edible snails could pose serious health hazard to man and animals by serving as a possible alternative parasite transmission route.

Texto completoResumen
Mental health challenge remains a stigmatized and under-addressed issue in Nigeria, contributing to significant societal challenge. Mass media campaigns have emerged as potential tools to raise awareness and combat the stigma. However, little research explores the effectiveness of these campaigns from the perspective of students. It is in the light of the above that this study examines students’ perception of the effectiveness of mass media campaigns on mental health awareness in Nigeria. The researchers embarked on this study with the intent of achieving four objectives and, based on the objectives of this study, four research questions were formulated to serve as a guide for this study. This study is hinged on the rational model theory. The researchers adopted the survey research design, and data were collected through the use of questionnaires. Findings from this study reveal that the majority of the respondents (31%) rated their level of awareness of mental health issues as very high as a result of their exposure to mass media campaigns on the subject. The study also reveals that the majority of the respondents (30%) noted that one of the impacts of mass media campaigns on the attitudes of students towards seeking help for mental concerns is that these campaigns have increased help-seeking behaviour among students. This study therefore concludes that mass media campaigns have proven to be effective in addressing mental health issues in Nigeria by raising awareness, promoting understanding, and reducing stigma. They have successfully disseminated information, encouraged help-seeking behavior, and fostered conversations about mental health. This study, among other things, recommends that producers of media messages should recognize the cultural and regional diversity within Nigeria and tailor mass media campaigns accordingly. Mental health issues may be perceived and addressed differently across various communities; therefore, the producers of media messages should produce campaigns that resonate with different cultural backgrounds, languages, and social norms to ensure inclusivity and effectiveness.

Background: Late presentation of prostate cancer is rampant in sub-Saharan Africa with attendant high morbidity and mortality. A good knowledge level of prostate cancer and prostate cancer screening services is paramount in preventing late presentation and its management challenges. This study assesses the sociodemographic factors affecting the knowledge level of prostate cancer and prostate cancer screening tools and services among patients attending a secondary health facility in southern Nigeria. Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study amongst men aged 40 years and above attending the general outpatient, surgical outpatient, and medical outpatient clinics in Central Hospital, Auchi, southern Nigeria. A pretested and structured questionnaire was used. Sociodemographic determinants of the knowledge level of prostate cancer and prostate cancer screening were determined based on responses to the questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 21. The level of significance was set at 0.05. Results: A total of 143 men participated in this study. Respondents’ age range was between 40 to 98 years with a mean age of 58.91±13.55 years. Overall, 55(38.5%) respondents had good knowledge of prostate cancer while 43(30.1%) had good knowledge of prostate cancer screening. A third (31.2%) think they are at risk of developing prostate cancer, only 9.1% had been screened for prostate cancer. In all, 86.7% of respondents were willing to know more and to be screened in the future. Whereas, age, occupation, average monthly income, and level of education were the statistically significant sociodemographic predictors of level of knowledge of prostate cancer, the only factors that influenced the level of knowledge of prostate cancer screening services were occupation and educational status. Conclusion: Knowledge level about prostate cancer disease and prostate cancer screening services was low among men attending outpatient clinics in Auchi Central Hospital. Respondents’ age, occupation, average monthly income, and level of education significantly affect their prostate cancer knowledge level while knowledge of prostate cancer screening services was determined by the occupation and educational status of the respondents. Interventional campaigns aimed at increasing the knowledge level about prostate cancer and screening services are urgently required.

The Upper Cretaceous Deposits of the Anambra Basin has a part of its sedimentary rock deposited in the Auchi area of Edo State. Geologic field and Sedimentological studies carried out on twenty eight (28) selected samples from a section of a road–cut show that the sediments range from fine through medium to coarse grained. Morphoscopic studies reveal subangular to subrounded outline of sand particles. These coupled with the various colours observed in the sediment, ranging from whitish sand through yellowish brown, pink and reddish brown possibly indicate a non–marine environment and a fluviatile to deltaic environment of sedimentation is suggested. Heavy mineral assemblage made up mainly of opaque, andalusite, zircon, hornblend, sphene and epidote suggest derivation from the Precambrian Igneous and medium to high grade metamorphic rocks of the underlying Basement Complex of Nigeria.

This study was carried out to assess risk assessment of Third-party damage index for a gas transmission pipeline around a suburb in Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria. A full length walk survey was carried out for the 12 km gas transmission pipeline of the Nigeria Gas Company that transcends Uteko community via Benin Auchi road through Osina town and some part of Benin Agbor road, all in Edo State of Nigeria. The 12 km pipeline facility surveyed was sectioned into a total of 60 test points (labelled P1 to P60), each test point measuring up to 200 m. The surveyors examined the third party index variable score for each of Minimum Depth of Cover, Activity Level, Aboveground Facilities, Line Locating, Public Education, Right-of-way Condition, and Patrol Frequency third-party variables. An overall third-party index score of 29.87% was obtained. This means that the surveyed 12 km pipeline is highly susceptible to failure due to third-party activities. This was perceived to be the consequence of the high level of insensitivity to, and lack of proper control of the third party activities taking place in the facility location. The study suggested measures to be employed in order to mitigate possible damages to the pipeline occasioned by third party activities, thereby bringing to the fore, the current drive to ensure pipeline safety and integrity.

Aim: The need for formulating and developing smart baby-led weaning (BLW) foods from millet, soybean and ripe banana flour blends as alternative complementary foods inspired this study, which had no documentation in literatures.
Place and Duration of Study: Department of Food Technology, Auchi Polytechnic, Auchi, Nigeria from June 2022 to January 2023.
Methodology: Smart BLW foods were formulated from millet, soybean and ripe banana flour blends and coded as WMF (100% whole millet flour), MSB1 (60% millet; 20% soybean; 20% ripe banana) and MSB2 (50% millet; 30% soybean; 20% ripe banana). The sensory, proximate and mineral compositions of the foods formulated were compared with those of commercial weaning food (CWF).
Results: MSB1 and MSB2 competed favourably with CWF in terms of texture, general acceptability, colour, aroma and taste attributes with high negative deviation most noticeable in WMF (P < 0.05), and exhibited acceptable shelf-life and stability. The ash contents ranged from 1.16±0.02% (WMF) to 2.83±0.02% (MSB2). Increase in fat content in MSB1 to CWF was ≈534%, MSB2 to CWF was ≈492%, MSB1 to WMF was ≈385% and MSB2 to WMF was ≈353% while their protein abundances were in the ratios 1:3.6 for CWF:MSB1, 1:5.9 for CWF:MSB2, 1:2.4 for MWF:MSB1 and 1:3.9 for MWF:MSB2. Generally, MSB1 and MSB2 were appropriate sources of Na, K, Ca, Mg and Zn compared to CWF and WMF in providing adequate intake (AI) and recommended daily allowance (RDA) of these minerals in both infants and children in the age classes of 0-6 months, 7-12 months and 1-3 years.
Conclusion: MSB1 and MSB2 exhibited better intrinsic properties than WMF when compared with CWF. MSB1, however had better general performances than MSB2 and therefore, was recommended as the best smart BLW food formulation from this research.

Background/Aim: There has been a progressive rise in the incidence and prevalence of End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). It has also been observed that the most important reasons for a rapid increase in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients are the rapidly increasing worldwide incidence of diabetes and hypertension. The present study evaluates the effect of diabetes, hypertension, and comorbid state of hypertension and diabetes (hypertensive-diabetic) on renal function using serum creatinine and urea as markers. Method: A total number of 120 persons were recruited for the research; 30 controls, 30 hypertensive, 30 diabetic, and 30 hypertensive-diabetic persons. Of the 30 control persons, 18 were females and 12 were males; of the 30 hypertensive subjects, 17 were females and 13 were males; of the 30 diabetics subjects, 20 were females and 10 were males, whereas of the 30 hypertensive-diabetic subjects, 21 were females and 9 were males. In total, there were seventy-six (76) females and 44 males. The respondents were pulled from Central Hospital (Auchi) Diabetic and General Clinic and Auchi Polytechnic Cottage Hospital. Verbal consent was sort and questionnaires were used to extract information regarding biodata and patients’ history of diabetes and hypertension. Height and weight were measured, and blood pressure was determined taken. Blood samples were collected into fluoride oxalate and lithium heparin bottle for the assessment of FBS and (serum urea and creatinine) respectively. Results: The mean (±SD) serum creatinine was higher in the hypertensive-diabetic group (2.08 ± 1.06) and declined as follows: diabetic group (1.75 ± 1.01), hypertensive group (1.34 ± 0.96) and control group (0.70 ± 0.14). The mean (±SD) serum urea was also found to be higher in the hypertensive-diabetic group (17.5 ± 9.06) and declined as follows: diabetic group (14.5 ± 6.13), hypertensive group (12.7 ± 6.23) and control group (7.18 ± 5.06). There was a positive correlation between serum creatinine and fasting blood sugar The study also established a positive correlation between serum creatinine and blood pressure but not between serum urea and blood pressure with r values of 0.31 and 0.16 respectively. Conclusion: Good control of blood glucose and blood pressure levels reduces the likelihood of the development of renal impairment which is usually associated with both diabetes and hypertension. Co-morbidity of diabetes and hypertension poses a higher risk of developing renal disease than individual problems of diabetes and hypertension. Serum creatinine and serum urea are important biomarkers for renal impairment hence the two should be monitored on a regular basis for diabetic and hypertensive patients and much more frequently for hypertensive-diabetic patients.

Objectives: Testicular torsion is the twisting of the spermatic cord with attendant loss of the blood supply to the affected testis. It is a common urological emergency and one of the frequent causes of acute scrotum in adolescents and young adults. Prompt diagnosis and immediate surgical intervention are necessary for testicular salvage. Testicular loss is directly linked to delay in presentation, surgery, and the referral patterns at the point of the first contact with health-care providers. The purpose of our study is to assess the knowledge, management methods, and referral pattern among health care workers in the primary health-care facilities in Auchi primary health-care zone, Nigeria. Material and Methods: This was a cross-sectional carried out among primary health care workers in Auchi primary health-care zone between May and October 2020. A structured self-administered questionnaire was given to all the first contact health care workers in this zone. The knowledge, management, and referral pattern of testicular torsion were determined based on responses to the questionnaires. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 21. Results were displayed with frequency distribution tables and charts. Results: Eighty-seven health care workers met the inclusion criteria and were given questionnaires to fill. The mean age of the respondents was 37.74 ± 7.53 years. The majority of the health workers (n = 66, 75.9%) have more than 5 years’ experience with only 12 (13.8%) having a secondary level of education. Most respondents have heard of testicular torsion (n = 77, 88.5%) and know the symptoms (n = 68, 78.2%) but they have a poor knowledge of the age group predominantly affected (n = 36, 41.1%) and testicular survival time following torsion (n= 41, 47.7%). Only about a third (n = 28, 32.2%) had attended to patients with testicular torsion. Of the 28 health workers who had managed patients with testicular torsion, less than half (n = 11, 39.3%) referred almost immediately, while about half treated conservatively (n = 14, 49.9%) keeping the patients under their care for a period of 3–7 days. Conclusion: This study showed that a comprehensive education of all categories of health workers in the primary health-care centers is needed. This is necessary for the early identification and appropriate surgical intervention or prompt referral of patients with testicular torsion to prevent avoidable testicular losses.

Gas transmission pipelines mainly transport flammable fluids across the length and breadth of the country especially in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. The associated risk to both the individuals’ encroaching and inhabiting areas along the right-of-way (ROW) and the society at large cannot be underestimated. Thus safety concerns considering the individual and societal risk of pipeline failures has become important. This paper attempts to develop a model for both individual and societal risk assessment for a 12km length natural gas transmission pipeline in Utekon community (commencing from the Benin-Auchi through Uhuwmunode Osina town and terminating in the Benin-Agbor axis) in Edo State using the Chemical Process Quantitative Risk Analysis Method (CPQRA). The CPQRA is used because it examines the hazard zones within a pipeline ROW and the number of persons that would be affected by fire/explosion. Finally, field data was used in this study to validate the model which can be applied to any natural gas pipeline risk assessment scenario.

Piper guineense commonly called Usira in Edo, Uziza in Igbo and IgherelIyere in Yoruba belongs to the family piperaceae. The efficiency of its seed powder in the control of callosobruschus maculatus (beans weevil) was investigated in the Science Laboratory Department of Federal Polytechnic, Auchi, Edo State Nigeria. The seed powder was applied at the rate of O control, 15, 25, 50 and 100 (gkg-1). The result obtained shows that piper guineense seed powder at 25gkg-1 to 100gkg-1 were effective in the control of callosobrusus maculatus at 0.01% level of significance. It was revealed that a very strong insecticidal action of I. piper guineense on beans weevil. However, the efficiency of this insecticidal action on callosobruschus maculatus with increasing concentration of the plant material seed powder with 100gkg-1 giving the highest mortality rate, residual action and egg plugs of the weevils. This finding is critical to resource poor farmers in developing countries who will find this trial practicable and affordable. colourkasi hustlers.

An exponential increase in the global population has seriously put pressure on land and water resources. It is projected that 33% of the worldwide people will be highly water-stressed by the 2050s if effective strategies are not developed. The study assessed urban domestic water demand and supply in Edo North senatorial district in Edo State, Nigeria. This is with the view of exploring some critical water resource variables to determine water security, distribution, and accessibility of safe drinking water in Edo North in Edo State in Nigeria. Integrated Water Resource Management Tools (IWRT) such as Water Poverty Index (WPI) and Water Accessibility Indicator (WAI) was applied. The results show that Auchi is highly water-stressed at the Estako-west area with MPI and WAI values of 0.24 and 0.33. Conversely, Okpella and Agenebode in Eskako central have MPI and WAI values 0.34 and 0.31, and 0.31 and 0.32. Sabo Gida Ora and Isobe in Owan East and West have better safe drinking water coverage and accessibility with the indicator values of 0.54, 0.53 [WPI], and 0.61 and 0.59 [WAI]. It is generally observed that the supply of potable water in the Edo North is highly unsecured and unsustainable to meet the current and future demand. Valuable and economic time is wasted to gather water from an average closest distance of 1.3 km from home to some designated water taps. In conclusion, it is imperative to design a robust integrated water policy that should include Private-Public-Partnership (PPP) to invest in the provision of safe drinking water.

The telecom industry has explored numerous media channels to expand their customer base. Endorsement of celebrities is one of such channels. The paper examined the influences of celebrity endorsement on customer buying behaviour in the Nigeria telecommunication industry. The attributes of celebrity used in the study include: trustworthiness, expertise and attractiveness. To achieve this, hypotheses were drawn in relation to the selected attributes on consumer buying behaviours of telecom products in Benin City and Auchi metropolis in Edo State, Nigeria. A sample size of 374 customers was selected using the judgmental sampling techniques. Structured questionnaire were used as the instrument of data collection while data collected were analyzed using OLS multiple regression estimation techniques. The results show that: trustworthiness of celebrity has positive effects on behaviour of consumers; also, celebrity expertise has positive effects on buying behaviour of consumers (coefficient 0.681 & significance of 0.000), the study therefore concludes that, endorsement of celebrities are veritable strategy for achieving product acceptance among the consumers of telecommunication products. The celebrities used for endorsing telecomm products have both influential and preferential impact on consumers’ purchase of telecom products. The study therefore recommends that, Telecom firms should always endeavour to produce quality products that will foster trust and believability to both the fans and their customers.

<p>Meteorological variables are crucial constituents in the estimation of refractivity disseminations and the uncharacteristic radio wave propagation situations of the troposphere as a result of their impact on radio wave communication relations over the atmosphere. In this study the measurement and assessment of air temperature, relative humidity and atmospheric pressure was carried out for a period of one year; 2018, so as to estimate the refractivity gradient over Iyamho-Auchi, Edo State, Nigeria using a self-implemented inexpensive portable meteorological monitoring device. The measurements of the essential climate variables were done at the administrative building of Edo University Iyamho by placing the meteorological monitoring device on a fixed position. The results show that the monthly estimated refractivity gradient values which would be useful in the prediction of the local radio propagation range from -20.00 N-units/km to -190.00 N-units/km with an average value of -60.67 N-units/km for the period under consideration. The findings also show that the months with limited relative humidity have greater refractivity gradient values compared to the ones with higher relative humidity. It was also observed from the results that the measured essential climate variables were having significant impacts on the estimated refractivity gradient during all the months in 2018, and these impacts were more noticeable in the months with higher relative humidity compared with the months that were having limited relative humidity. </p>
