About 97% of the world’s 1.4 billion Cubic km of water is ocean water. Quality water is essential for economic development and ecological balance. However, the scarcity of water is on the increase, hence the need for proper and adequate planning, standard monitoring and proper management of water as one of natural resources. This research evaluates the effect of anthropogenic activities and domestic wastes on surface water quality in Ekiti State University Students’ Residential Area. The study determines water contaminants and the effects of water contamination to the health of students and all other residents in the study area. Primary and secondary sources of data collection were employed in the study. A total of 18 water samples (nine for microbial and physiochemical testing respectively) were obtained from the study area for laboratory analysis where physiochemical an...

Physical, chemical and bacteriological parameters were carried out following standard guidelines. Total coliform count was done using the membrane filtration method. Heavy metal was determined using an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS BULK SCIENTIFIC MODEL 210 VGP). Samples were subjected to statistical and multivariate analysis. Results of physicochemical parameters show that they were all within the WHO standard for drinking. Cation concentrations follow the order: Na+ > Ca2+ > Mg2+ > K+, while anions are: HCO3− > SO42-> Cl−> NO3− > PO42-. As, Cd and Pb were not detected in the sampled water, but other heavy metals Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn were detected. They were, however, within the WHO’s recommended range. Based on E. coli analysed, all of the water samples were free from faecal contamination since none was discovered in the water samples. Based on the water quality index, only sample G hand-dug well is of poor quality (though it could be treated) for human consumption; all other samples are good for human consumption. Deductions from Pipers’ and the Durov diagram, as well as principal component analysis, revealed that there was little geological and human activity within the hand-dug wells. Based on the physicochemical, microbiological, heavy metal and water quality indexes, this study indicates that all of the water samples examined are free of pollution, but that continual monitoring of the hand-dug wells should be prioritised.

While a lot is still unknown about the virus that causes COVID-19, we do know that it is transmitted through direct contact with respiratory droplets of an infected person (generated through coughing and sneezing). Individuals can also be infected from touching surfaces contaminated with the virus and touching their face (e.g., eyes, nose, mouth). While COVID-19 continues to spread it is important that communities take action to prevent further transmission, reduce the impacts of the outbreak and support control measures.

As all schools are forced to close to curb the spread of this virus, students are at home, Saving the world, trying and putting things in places. Executive of Social Sciences Students' Association (SOSSA), The Ekiti State University chapter duly led by Hon. Comr. Abayomi Ayodele Gold has put an effort to refresh the memories of students , testing on the aftermath of COVID-19 pandemic in our society, by organizing our article like this.
This article is resurge our ideology and foster a prospective solution to the scourge facing our dear planet.
On this note, this article contains the introductory meaning of COVID-19, it also lists out the economy of Nigeria before the pandemic, during the pandemic and possible aftermath after the pandemic.

at valuing Lekki conservation center monetarily using a travel cost method (TCM).
The study calculate the value of the recreational site in monetary term, it identify the
recreational demand and value of the recreational site and also access the factors
affecting visitation rate. Both primary & secondary data types were used for
collection of data. The sample size was 200 respondents based on their willingness
to participate on the study. For analysis of data collected, descriptive analysis was
employed. The study revealed that 40% of male and 60% of female visited the
recreational site, while majority of the tourists visited for Picnicking (20.5%) and
for viewing of scenic nature of the environment (28.5%). From the research it is
observed that, this conservation center preserves the natural environment, cultural
heritages, it enhances wildlife habitat without endangering the animal’s life through
tourist’s activities, soil fertility preventing soil compaction, promotes afforestation
and create’s public environmental consciousness. Also the study discuss the
limitations and problems of using a Travel Cost method (TCM) approach. However,
the researcher gave some recommendation in the study which if adhere to by the
government and management of recreational sites will yield beautiful results.

The worker or productive individual must not only be knowledgeable but must also be versatile in the application of skills to perform defined task or work. There are two basic forms of learning; the first one is Education and the second one is Training. Both of which are indispensable to the productive world of work and the functioning of society today. Both education and training are important: there cannot be effective education without some training input and there cannot be effective training without some educational input. The productive individual, particularly in this millennium must be able to combine and utilize the outcomes from the two forms of learning (Know-How Ability and Do-How Capability) for the production of goods and services. This need to combine
theoretical knowledge with practical skills in order to produce results in the form of goods and services or to be productive is the essence and justification for industrial
training and at the end of the training, a report must be written.
Students’ Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) report enables students to review and analyze what they have learnt and acquired during the course of the industrial training.
This report clearly talk about how to use a powerful and sophisticated Computer Aided Drafting software called AutoCAD, software applications used for Data Science, this includes Excel and SPSS.
More so, this report also covers a detailed description of all the activities that were carried out during the period of the training and encapsulates each in a separate chapter
base on the outline.
The work and activities enlisted in this master-piece were actually carried out by me with my supervisor’s scrutiny and directives.

It identified and appraised development of control mechanisms and enforcement procedure in the study Areas. Also, the study evaluated residents' level of compliance with development control regulations in the different residential area and examined the factors influencing residents' level of compliance with development control regulation in the study area. These were with a view to developing a framework that could enhance orderly built environment in the study Area. Data for the study were from primary and secondary sources. Questionnaire was administered to obtain primary data. The first three residential buildings in each area identified were Traditional, Transition, Suburban and planning scheme zone. Therefore, for the administration of questionnaire, sample was drawn using systematic sampling technique. In this case, the first three residential buildings with the people living in them cursory to the main road with adequate standard setback were selected from each residential area. The first building to be sampled was chosen randomly while subsequent unit of investigation was the second and third residential buildings respectively. Where the sample buildings were not residential, the next residential building was chosen for questionnaire administration. A total of 111 residential buildings with the people living in them were sampled for the study. The study established that the planning law No3 of 2011 was the only regulatory document for controlling development but yet to be implemented. It was established that majority of residents (53.4%) in the four residential zones were aware of development control through negative sources such as carrying out of demolition exercise. The perception of the problem confronting development control agencies in the area measured on a seven-point Likert scale showed that lack of development master plan, poor monitoring, political interference, bribery and corruption and inadequate funding were the major problems respectively with a mean of 4.32, 4.28, 4.20 and 2.31.The study concluded that the problem of development control varied along the different residential zones and a very low level of compliance with development control regulation was recorded in the traditional zone of the four zones investigated.

The project was executed and the report prepared at the request of the incumbent Vice-Chancellor – Professor Oladipo Aina, to enhance decision-making, especially on issues associated with land matters, as well as areal and substantial expansion of physical developments on University lands. This is in order to assist in judicious allocation of resources planning and good governance. Geospatial Information Technology and digital mapping coupled with ancillary data sources from field investigation were employed to achieve the aim, activities and tasks conceived for the execution of the project.
The first section considers an introduction to the nature and background of the research project where the aim, activities, and tasks to be performed in the field and laboratory were clearly stated. Sections two and three deal with a brief history of the university since its establishment, followed by an overview of its physical settings at the present location.
Section four is concerned with a thorough description of the methodology adopted to conduct and analyse the data gathered on the research and their presentation in a standard GIS and cartographic formats. This was summarized in a schema (Fig 4.1a) developed for this purpose. Specifically, section four involves the collection of primary data of many Ground Control Points (Ground Truths), Participatory Sketch Maps (PSM) and attribute information associated with the points within the University’s inner (i.e. developed), and outer (i.e. relatively undeveloped) boundaries using GPS instruments and ancillary data collection procedures. The data were imported digitally into acquired and rectified satellite imageires of the entire University Landcover at appropriate resolutions (Grand Sampling Distance), eye altitude and viewing distances.
In section five, presentation of results were made in form of rectified satellite imageries and map overlays (both composite and thematic maps) of scanned or digitized topographical maps (basemaps), Ground Control Points (GCPs), road names and networks, etc. at differing scales, resolutions and print sizes. All data weregeoreferenced to a known datum or map projection (i.e. Universal Transverse Mecator). A general discussion on landcover characteristics of the University based on available Geospatial Information forms the last part of this section.
Sections Six, Seven and Eight are concerned with possible post-project use of the research results, cartographicdispalys in conspicuous areas (e.g. the Vice-Chancellor’s Office). Softcopy and hardcopy prints, versions for the university calendars, newsletters, and students prospective were also made available. The last part of this section treat the institutional and infrastructural supports (i.e. Geospatial Data Infrastructures), as well as envisaged impacts of the research results.
The ninth and tenth sections, which are the last sections are concerned with issues that many further be considered in future, useful recommendations for prospective users of research results and conclusion.
