However, no vaccine is perfectly safe. Therefore, adverse reactions may occur. This study aimed to investigate the understanding and experience of Adverse Event Following Immunization (AEFI) among healthcare workers and Routine Immunization (RI) officers. Methods Phenomenological qualitative study was conducted between June and September 2019, using a semi-structured question guide in Kebbi State, Northwest Nigeria. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with 12 RI providers, eight Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) officers, and eight Disease Surveillance and Notification Officers. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. The interviews were transcribed and translated, then manually analyzed thematically. Results The knowledge level of healthcare providers on AEFI definition and classification varied and was suboptimal. Error during vaccination was the study participants'...

Physico-chemical techniques are often expensive. However, bioremediation of petroleum hydrocarbon polluted soil is cost-effective. Therefore, the study was carried out to assess the biostimulatory influence of biochar on the degradation of petroleum hydrocarbon impacted soil in NNPC Depot, kano state. Soil samples were randomly collected from the polluted site to obtain a composite sample. About 400 g of the polluted soil was filled into pots and arranged in a 2x2 factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with three replications. Bone and wood char was at 2 levels (0 and 50 g/pot) each. Data were collected on the physicochemical properties (pH, TN, and Av. P) of the soil, Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH), and bacterial population. Data were analyzed using ANOVA at α0. 05. Results obtained from the study show that biochar application significantly (p<0.05) enhanced TPH...

The use of English is a key course taught not only the polytechnics but in almost all higher institutions in the country. The use of English refers to the formal or conventional English language introduce the newstudents in tertiary institutions the basic of English language as prerequisite requirement. The approach is general and not geared to any particular group of students notwithstanding the discrepancies in their academic pursuit and language background. In fact, the challenges faces thecourse is enormous. This paper aims at examine these challenges by considering at English and the concept of international language, challenges posed by globalization, problems encountered in teaching and learning ofthe use of English and recommends solutions to these challenges.

It is a catalyst for the improvement of education and looking at new horizons in the education sector. To achieve global education there is need for an all-inclusive curriculum that can cater for all and at the same time be on the same level all around the world.This paper examines the challenges and prospects of education for globalization in a developing nation like Nigeria and to see what can be done to achieve this goal.
