This first part of the field work is to help identify the problems of rural communities in the northern regions and in this instance TAPA ABOTOASE in the… Continue Reading
The main objective of this work is to study the geology of Amuro and its environs near Afikpo, Ebonyi state and produce a geologic map of the study area. Amuro area offers a unique opportunity to study and understand the deformational processes and to determine the tectonic stresses active in the southern Benue Trough as the highly… Continue Reading
Ozara Ukwu and its environs (the study Area) is located within the Abakaliki Basin and the Afikpo sub Basin, respectively within the Afikpo Area. Detailed geologic mapping was carried out in other todetermine the various stratigraphic lithologic units, depositional environment, provenance, age and kerogene characterization, respectively… Continue Reading
The main aim and objective of the project is to evaluate the foundation soils along atan-agbara road as highway subgrade and sub-base material, to determine the geotechnical basis (if any) for the observed failure cases as studied. The methodology stage involves; Field investigation which entails Desk study stage and Reconnaissance survey… Continue Reading
Geotechnical evaluation of sub grade and subbase materials from Redemption camp and Igbesa and Ijuri area within the sedimentary terrain of Eastern Dahomey basin of South-Western Nigeria were analyzed for their physical and engineering properties required for construction purposes. Total of 13 soil samples were taken, 6 from the location… Continue Reading
The present study area is bound within the latitude of 5055” N to 6° 0’ 0” N and longitude of 7055” E to 8° 1’ 0” E in the Southern Benue Trough, within the Afikpo syncline and Abakaliki anticlinorium, in south eastern Nigeria. The shale unit underlie the bioturbated sandstone unit. Sedimentary structures were also observed… Continue Reading
of the electrical resistivity technique, which red to the seismic technique in fault seal . .. ., ....... . . . , The Agu Abor fault is a prominent growth fault that provides insights on the processes of clay smearing at the fault zone. The properties of the sheared zone in the Cretaceous Enugu Shale were investigated to evaluate the… Continue Reading
The Maastrichian-Paleocene sediments in Yuli area me composed of the Gombe Sandstone and the Kerri-Kerri Formation. They cover 400 square kilometres have a thickness of more than 100 metres. Six stratigraphic sections were studied, representing the entire stratigraphic succession of the Gombe Sandstone in the Yuli area, The formation has… Continue Reading
This Research examines the heavy metal distribution of a dumpsite in Uvwie Local Government Area along Warri Port Express-Way of Delta State Nigeria. A total of eight (8) soil samples and (2)-plant sample were collected from the study area and also control site using a systematic sampling technique. Samples were taken to the lab and… Continue Reading

An investigation was carried out on the groundwater potentials and aquifer protective capacity of Ishiagu area, southeastern Nigeria. The study area lies within the lower Benue trough of Nigeria and is underlain by the Albian Asu River Group and the Turonian Ezeaku Shales.The methodologies employed in the study include measurements of… Continue Reading
A 3D seismic data merged with a regional 2D seismic data and well data acquired from Ghana National Petroleum Corporation were used to determine the tectonic impact on regional structural trend in the Ultra-Deep Water Cape Three Points. The Cape Three Point basin was fashioned from transform tectonic and has been severely influenced by… Continue Reading
Ground magnetics and electromagnetic datasets were processed to interpret the subsurface geology and structure of the southwest of Ghana within the Tarkwain and Volcanics in the central part of the Ashanti belt. The study was aimed at mapping lithology, delineating structural lineaments and their trends as well as the trend of… Continue Reading
The Nanka Sand (~ocene, Ypresian Stage) is one of the several lithostratigraphic units comprising the lithic fill of the Anambra Basin, southeastern Nigeria. Its unitstratotype has been selected from a system of gullies in the Nanka town. Here the unit is 305 metres thick and is underlain by the Imo Shale and, farther southwest, overlain… Continue Reading

The role of water in petroleum migration has hitherto been grossly underplayed because of the unsuccessful search for a model that demonstrates the movement of water and hydrocarbons combined in a single phase, It appears, however, that many of the alternative mechanisms that have been favoured also require the availability and movement… Continue Reading
This research work presents findings of the extent and distributions of saline zone and the hydrochemical characteristics of the groundwater of Awe, Keana and Giza areas in the Middle Benue Trough of Nigeria.Staticwater levels(swl) of hand dug wells were measured andthe results used to generate hydraulic head data and hydraulichead map.… Continue Reading
Cenozoic sediments outcrop in the Niger Delta Basin. Deposits in the Basin thicken southward (down-dip) but thin northward (up-dip) around Bende – Umuahia area where approximately 260 m thick exposure was logged from base to top. Sieve analysis and petrography were carried out to establish the depositional settings of sediments while… Continue Reading
This project examines the use of GIS and Remote Sensing in mapping Land Use Land Cover in Ilorin between 1972 and 2001 so as to detect the changes that has taken place in this status between these periods. Subsequently, an attempt was made at projecting the observed land use land cover in the next 14 years. In achieving this, Land… Continue Reading
Transport services are inadequate in quality and qualitative terms in most developing countries such as Nigeria which, relies on the importation of fairly used vehicles to meet the travel demands. The poor service delivery of transport system had created impediment towards the smooth movement of people, goods and services in some of urban… Continue Reading
This study examines the socio-economic problems of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Yerwa district of Maiduguri Borno State. There are IDPs in host communities apart from those in government IDPs camps, taking a host community of Yerwa district as my study area, to research on their socio economic problems, to analyze their… Continue Reading
In Nigeria and particularly in Zaria city of Kaduna state, open dumping is still the most common household waste disposal method/practice. This type of practice is un hygienic and environmentally unfriendly. This research is aimed at effective household waste management practices in the study area.
