My Biography

The water storage in Shika dam, Zaria-Nigeria is often adversely affected by sedimentation because of severe soil erosion in headwater catchments. The HEC-HMS model is a commonly used tool to simulate streamflow and sedimentation of various processes of the hydrological cycle, depending majorly on their characteristics. The objective of this study is to apply HEC-HMS…

Cancer has been a menace to public health. Among all cancers, breast cancer is the most common in women. This research investigated the preventive effect of tomato and carrot supplementation in wistar rat administered breast carcinogen, Dimethylbenz-[a]-anthracene (DMBA). Tomato and carrot were dried under shade and pulverized. Forty-eight female rats were randomly distributed into 8…

Sedimentation is a critical concern for Dams used for irrigation and water supply in Nigeria. This study evaluates the HEC-HMS model for simulating sediment yield and transport processes in Shika Dam, Zaria, Kaduna State. The daily continuous recording of rainfall-runoff and sediment discharge of Zaria (Shika) Dam was carried out for the period of two…

Malaria has been among the dangerous diseases not only in Nigeria but Africa as whole. Artemisia crop has an artemisinin, which is a strong anti-malaria drug. However, despite its importance in curing this disease, it is only produced under rain-fed but hardly produced under irrigation in Nigeria. The experiment consisted of three levels of irrigation…

It is evident that water table depth is one of the most important physical features of a cropped field, and that its measurement is vital for optimum management. The scarcity of such data in developing countries could be attributed to high cost of commercially available sophisticated devices and their limitations due to their deployment for…

Soil erodibility index for Typic haplustult and Petroferric haplustult soils were determined by direct field measurement under natural rainfall in IAR research farm located in Samaru, Zaria, latitude N l 1111, longitude El 387. Two runoff plots, each measuring 5m x 2m, with 0.765 m3 underground collection tanks were established on each of the two…

This paper proposed an ICT-based extension service delivery for Nigeria. The proposed design, though to be use as supplement to the existing system would engender an extension delivery system that is void of many of the limitations inherent in the earlier approaches. Basically, it revolves round the use ICT facilities like VSAT, Routers/Switches, PCs, Radio/Antennae,…
