Evaluation of Anthropogenic Activities in Landing Sites along the Shores of Oyan Lake, Nigeria

There has been an increased report of anthropogenic activities around Oyan Lake, Ogun State, Nigeria because its supplies water round the year. Therefore, this study evaluated the anthropological activities of three different landing sites (Abule Titun, Ibaro and Apojola) along the shores of Oyan Lake Nigeria. Anthropogenic activity was evaluated using a structured questionnaire administered to one hundred and fifty (150) household heads at fifty per location across the three landing sites and were subjected to descriptive statistics.

Drug resistant enterobacteria in drinking water supplies of Kano State, Nigeria

Drinking water sources are epidemiologically suspected as one of the major transmission agents for pathogenic and perhaps drug resistant Enterobacteria. Accordingly, in the period October, 1995 – September, 1996, water samples as were available from tap, borehole, well, dams and rivers in randomly selected 19 Local Government areas of Kano State were screened for these bacteria. 1201 isolates comprising Citrobacter sp. (16.91%); Enterobacter aerogenes (14.99%); Klebsiella sp. (10.24%); Proteus sp. (9.58%); Shigella sp. (9.49%); Escherichia coli (8.24%); Salmonellae (7.99%) and Vibrio sp.
