Land tenure in Nigeria can be referred to as the manner in which land is acquired, owned, used and transferred (Nigerian Environmental Study/Action Team, 1991). Land tenure system thus set the framework for implementation of land policy and land related objectives. Thus a prominent and basic issue in the analysis and discussion of any land tenure system is the relationship of man to man in the occupancy and use of land, and the fact that it forms a fundamental framework condition for a nation’s development
the evergreen broadleaved trees which flourish in the humidity of the low altitudes between 100 north and 100 south of the equator and high temperature (Park 1992). Earlier statistics indicates that the despite its coverage of merely 6% of Earth's land surface, tropical rainforests harbour approximately half of all the world's animal and plant species (National Research Council 1992). In terms of locations, most tropical rainforest are found in the Southeast Asia, Central and Western Africa and Central
The emergence of Urban renewal in developing countries has been witnessed as a response to shifting expectations that abandoned and blighted urban buildings, be repaired and reused, rather than being demolished () explores. However in the developing countries urban decay did not take places the same way that it happens in developed countries, because developments in developed countries happen in a much higher rate than developments in developing countries. In another sense even the location of the
The need to make Nigeria self-sufficient in rice production necessitated the introduction of improved ways of producing, processing and storage through various government inter interventions to enhance domestic rice production in the country. Attaining self-sufficiency in rice production involves strong policy formulation and implementation aimed at infusing improved seeds, machines and techniques into rice farming. Several policies had been introduced in the past but failed to achieve the desired
Deforestation is a process whereby trees are felled for several purposes but without replanting to replace the ones felled (Aina & Salau 1992 cited in Ebenezer 2015). Scientists estimated that since 1960, due to deforestation, one third of the world’s useful land had lost (Bradford 2015). By the late 1980s, it was forecasted that two fifth of the global rain forests had already been destroyed (Stanford 1990). Deforestation brings many effects either to society or country. It impacts a country’s economy, the
Globalisation has deepened insecurity, poverty and displacement of people. It has infact led to fragmentation of the society. Before we understand as to how globalisation has impacted human rights , we need to understand the rise and evolution of globalisation in our history. There are different views regarding this. There is a one school of thought
for nation-building by the new leaders particularly in Africa. There have been a number of pro-self-rule movements causing attempts to create self determination like the case of Katanga ethnic group in Congo, the movement of Biafra ethnic group in Nigeria, the case of Sudan and Somalia ethnic groups (Adeleye,
the major mode of land acquisition in most sub-Saharan African countries is by the means of inheritance. Also, access to resources such as water and to services such as sanitation and electricity, as well as the ability to make long-term investments in land and housing, are often dependent on rights to access land (Cooper, 2010a). Land inheritance reduces the size of land per individual in a case where a father has many children to inherit the land. This is almost
dispersion (i.e. standard deviation and variance) will be used to help in summarizing the data collected. We will use multiple linear regression model to predict the quantity of sugarcane supplied to Nzoia Sugar Company from the independent variables (i.e. land subdivision through inheritance, food security and time of
According to White and Pickett (1985) disturbance is defined as any relatively discrete event in time that disrupts ecosystems, community, or population structure and changes resources, substrate availability, or the physical environment.” It is also considered as a temporary change in environmental conditions that causes a pronounced change in an ecosystem (Underwood, 1994). Glenn-Lewin and van der Maarel (1992) described it as any distinct events that interfere with the function of ecosystems.
