ABSTRACT

 

          The aim of this project is to analyze the appraisal of road traffic accident rate on Enugu – Onitsha Express Road.

The data on the number of recorded road traffic accident rate on Enugu – Onitsha Express road from 1995 – 2002 was collected and organized on quarters.

The trend equation was calculated from the date, which follows linear trend with the trend values, the seasonal indexes for the four seasons of the year was calculated.

Projection of the value and forecasting with the trend value equations and seasonal index was not left out.

Finally, some recommendation was made on the following observations and conclusions that drawn from the analysis.

CHAPTER ONE

  • INTRODUCTION

According to Oxford Learners Dictionary accident is defined as something that happens without a cause that can been seen at once, usually something unfortunate and undesirable.  This means that accident can happen at anytime, anywhere and any moment.   In most cases accident result from carelessness or recklessness.

 

Road accident may be said to occur when many vehicles do not meet the safety requirement of the traffic operation.  Road accident have become a major problem in the country, many people both old young have lost their lives as a result of road accident.

 

The rate of accident in this state varies from time to time and increase during the end of the year and decreases at the beginning of the year and also the number of cars double for the fact that during this period, the number of not or vehicle are more than doubled, odes not mean that the roads becomes less safer.  Why then is it that the rate of road accident in Enugu – Onitsha Express Road is not stable as other roads in the state?

 

The answer is that first, we lack sufficient collective will to put an end once and for all, to the perils caused us by road accident.

Second, our understanding of the situation is low because of the fragment nature of its occurrence (is not how many people or families are affected at a time and this has made people to slow down, I don’t care to behaviaour it).  It does happen because we cannot predict its period of occurrence.

If we have the good will, we should find the way, for we cannot assume the number of accident rate are beyond a number that man could.  Solue, once they have been identified.  Some people are non chalant because they are not directly affected.  Perhaps they are not divers or carousers, that not withstanding they are affected somehow its effects on the public migration are not cumulative another reason why we cannot reduce the rate of accident in Enugu – Onitsha Express Road to its lowest rate of occurrence is that from the point of view of the government and financial cost of an integrated road transport system represent one of one many cells on the national income there by a time they forget about and road transport system.  By this I mean that the decision is essential government by consideration of a political nature.

 

In principle, the number of casualties on the road could be reduced to any required level, provided there was sufficient investment of economic and social effort that could minimize or reduce it.

 

In view of what has been said about appraisal of accident rate in Enugu – Onitsha Express Road, it may be said to occur when many vehicle do not meet the safety requirement of the traffic role as it can always be seen.

 

Road accident is normally a failure of the control system the starting point in how to prevent accident along Enugu – Onitsha Express Road should be understood.  What is required of many vehicles?

 

 

There are factors that lead to road accident.

Unsafe Driver:      Unsafe driver is a driver that drives under the influence of alcohol or drugs feeling sleepy, carelessly distracted, pot whole, driving with uncorrected vision or hearing.

Hazardous Driving Condition:          Hazardous driving condition is driving under stormy weather.  Sleeping road surface, darkness, narrow roads.

Unsafe Driving Practices:        This is driving above the speed limit, turning without signaling, following the car ahead too closely.

Unsafe condition with an automobile:        Brakes failure, unsafe steering gear, worn-out tires, over loading and driver without light at night is also one of the major features of road accident is a high proportion of severe multiple injuries, gotten.  However motor accident rate may constitute a growing problem in our society, perhaps scrunching of traffic regulation equipment facilities shall be improved the state.

 

 

 

1.2     BACKGROUND INFORMATION

          In the past, in the time of our fore father the rate of road accident was very small because they were uncivilized; there was very few motor vehicles, good road etc.

In this modern time, there is hardly a day without accident, go to road safety office, and see the number of people that is being hospitalized, mainly the value of goods lost by Enugu – Onitsha Express accident victims, not to talk of those that have lost their limes because of accident that occur on this road.

At this juncture, one may ask at what season of the year or month people normally have accident, and what factors influence the road accident and how many people may be admitted into the hospital or the value of crude deaths rate will it not increase from day to day on this road in future.

Awareness of all these things may make the government to know how much to budget for maintain of these road or maintenance of road facilities, provision of emergency services and how best to control road accident and suppress it to the lowest rate of occurring.

Nowadays, it appears that the tendency of accident occurring is greater than it was in the previous decades.

New invention is the main factors that attribute to it many people are miss using it.  Also illiteracy of the drivers.  Lack of vehicle maintenance, bad roads, one way traffic inexperience etc.

Against this background, I decided to carry out a study on the value of accident rate in Enugu – Onitsha Express Road in order to investigate some of the above maintained issues.

 

 

1.3     AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

          The aims and objectives of this project is to carry out statistical appraisal of accident rate in Enugu – Onitsha Express Road for a period of eight years (1995 – 2002).

To ascertain the rate at which accident occur, whether the accident rate has been increased as years go by or its varies from month or being at decrease and at what season of the year do we have higher rate of accident at Enugu – Onitsha Express Road.

Moreover, this project will help to predict the value of road accident or number of the road accident in Enugu – Onitsha Express Road that will occure in future will regard to the past records.

This scientific knowledge will help the government in their planning and also on how best to control or reduce road accident in Enugu – Onitsha Express Road to its minimum of occurrence in the state.

Finally, the recommendation made I this work will help individuals to know the rate of accident in Enugu – Onitsha Express Road so as not to be the next victim.

 

 

1.4     SCOPE AND LIMITATION

          The researchers decided to limit the scope of the topic, the appraisal of accident rate in Enugu – Onitsha Express Road, so as to collect accurate data during the limited period of research to do more accident work in future.

 

 

 

 

 

CHAPTER TWO

 

2.1     LITERATURE REVIEW

          According to Prof. Cohens the author of “Causes and Prevention of road accident.

To be successful the entire rules of road safety must be subjected to fundamental reexamination. I must stop thinking of drive and vehicle as separate unit, a man in full control of him self, in charge of a passive mechanism is a diver.  The modern driver is a vacuum but not in movement of a continuously changing traffic contest.  A man at the wheel under – go complex changes.

 

Self regulation of movement wholly or partly opens the doors to undesirable risk, and hazard.  Question of speed vigilance communication and propaganda must therefore be considered afresh.

 

Mrs. Barbana Preston also one of the authors of “causes and prevention of road accident” places her emphasis on more purely empirical aspects she argues that legislation has worked in the past and that what we need is more of it, better enforced and more speeding of its operation. Intensive study of accident data.  She suggests the measures that can be taken immediately.

With reference to guardian in April 1962, A formed.  Minister of transport (Mr. Marples) when in agurating the National Road Training year campaign of the of the royal society for the prevention of accident deaf and that every body on the road should drive as if other drivers were a complete food.

In an investigation conducted by I Cohen Language of the road (Head Light July 1966).  We make use of traffic signals and this resulted in a very muddled and unsatisfactory state of affairs.

No wonder one driver is often unable to interpret the signal of another, or to anticipate on what he is going to do.  If one of them could indicate to the other precisely what he had in mind, some accident might be prevented.

Many motorist consider that road improvement is the main, the only means for stopping road accident, the facts do not support this simple view, road improvement often reduce congestion and journey time, but they may or may not reduce accident rate.

The road laboratory “Research on Road traffic, London (1965) before and after studies have shown that when there is a resurfacing of a slippery reduced accident by 45 percent and reconstruction on a new line reduce injury accident by 95 percent major resurfacing improvement on non-shipping by 65 percent and reconstruction of length of road on the same line increase accident by 123 percent, obviously, the impacts one may or the other, on road safely depends on how the road are improved.

According to Stephan Black “man and motor car (1966) unconsciously there was not tear of accident, wearing safety harness was dismissed as cissy and the greatest danger on the roads was through the show driver.  The subject stressed the significance of “freedom” associate with car ownership and the feeling of power and the sense of superiority.  He quotes one subject as saying “they is a lot of accident nowadays. Some people expect accident to happen to other people of course and one person interviewed said “I can’t pretend, I really mind when we see a car accident” in a funmy way, it makes the journey interesting.

According to F. Garwood and R.L. Moore Pedestrian accident” to consider the problems of pedestrian as derivation from the problems of motorist.

This is a major problem everyday on average of eight or nine pedestrian are killed over 90% of the pedestrian casualties occur in built up areas and about 5 percent of these injured pedestrians are on foot paths.

The main problem however is crossing the road.  Active young and adult manage to cross the road fairly successfully especially females the young and old often do not.

CHAPTER ONE

1.1     INTRODUCTION

          The education industry is certainly one of the most important social sectors in the development and progress of any country.  Among such importance include a strong and self – reliant nation, a great and dynamic economy, a land of bright and full opportunities for all citizens, a just and egalitarian society.  It is therefore unfortunate that in spite of the importance of education industry, it has been facing a steady and serious decline for some years now.

Examining education from the primary school level which is supposed to be the foundation in which the educational structure should be built. How sound is this foundation today? Indeed, many well meaning Nigerians are sad and very much worried that our primary school today no longer provides the right foundation on which the secondary and tertiary education should be built.

Paradoxically, when one looks at the whole scenario concerning education in Nigeria today, one would be tempted to conclude that education has completely crashed.  For one thing, education has become very expensive at all levels that it is now becoming increasingly inaccessible to majority of Nigerians.

The question is what education is and who is likely to be seen there? The advanced learners, dictionary of current English, definition of education are the systematic training and instruction.  It goes further to add that it is knowledge and abilities, development of character and mental powers resulting from such training. One school of taught, Thomson defined education as the influence of environment upon the individual to produce a permanent change in his habits of behaviour, of though and of attitude.  A renewed educationist Dr. John Dewey 1963 interprets education as the scientific method by means of which man studies the world, acquires cumulative knowledge of meanings and values generally, the layman’s view on educational concept includes schooling which is the formation or education that takes place in a formal setting, in a specialized place (school0 with a systematic body of knowledge experience and directed by a specialist known as the teacher.

The every form of education is primary school, primary schools are for junior pupils usually between the ages five to eleven years. The goals of primary school education include:

To prepare must children for life while a few talented ones must be given the opportunity to proceed to secondary schools for the development of manpower’s needs.

To help the child to wards self – realization and to relate others through mutual understanding/

The aims of secondary education include

To think effectively and to communicate thought clearly

To develop economic efficiency both as a consumer and as a producer of goods

To recognize the dignity of labour

To understand the word outside his environment

To live and act as a well integrated individual.

 

1.2     AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

  • To ascertain if there is increase or decrease in children enrolment in junior secondary school one (JSS I)
  • To test whether the pupils interest to enroll in JSS I depends on their sex
  • To find out whether parent/guardian occupation affects the people interest to enroll in JSS I
  • To find out whether parents/guardian level of education is associated with their interest in sending their ward to post primary school.
  • To make recommendation

 

1.3     NEED FOR THE STUDY

          Since education is a pre-requisite for a technological advancement, the future of our society cargely depends on how well our educational institutions are managed.

Having observed the recent behaviour of the youths and the craze for their per suit of wealth and having gone through may journals it has been observed that there is a continuous fall in the number of youths going into secondary education especially the males.

The researcher was therefore motivated by this trend of events to investigate into this issue and know how true this observation are, by subjecting them to statistical analysis.

 

 

 

CHAPTER TWO

 

 

2.1     LITERATURE REVIEW

The history of education in Nigeria was in timely bound u with the history of western education in Europe.  The church saw that it could not do its own work effectively unless adherents were able to read and write.  Babs A. Fatunwa (1974) remark that the Catholics, through the influence of the Portuguese traders were the first missionaries to set foot on Nigerian soil.

The earliest Christian missionary school in Nigeria was without any doubt an adjunct of the church.

Consequently, Kenneth Black Move and Brain Cooksey (1974) maintained that the missionaries continued spreading and establishing schools in all ramifications down the East of the Niger.  This he said spread to most parts of Igbo-land.  It could be noticed that the oldest school in Oji-River Local Government Area (Western part of Enugu State) is Christ Church School Isikwe – Achi which belonged to the Church of Missionary Society (CMS).  Some years later, the Roman Catholic mission (RCM) built their own school called St. Mary’s Catholic School, Achi.

The place of education in any nation is highly indispensable.  The Federal Military Government (FMG) adverted to its central position which it stated in the Second National Development Plan (1970 –  1974) that “one major focus of education policy I Nigeria has been the ultimate provision of formal education to every child of school going age to at least primary school level in the ground that universal education is very vital in improving peoples receptiveness to new idea.  Another objective is to create adequate stack of skills needed in the process of social and economic development”.  The Federal Government Report to the International Conference on education (1973) emphasized that the rate of enrolment has not been a fast one”.  To encourage enrolment, education should be made universally compulsory and free throughout the length and breath of country now.

Secondary education is yet to be within the reach of average primary school learners in Nigeria.

G.C. Nduka and F.N.J. Eresimadu emphasized that many brilliant children who wish to go to secondary schools do not find themselves there because they were not able to afford the fees. In the East.  School fees and levies were paid by students before they could be allowed to remain in school.

Segun Ogunsaju and Segun Adesina (1984) remarked that in 1977, the Federal Military Government introduced free education from primary to post primary school secondary education in Nigeria is an enormous venture particularly in the post military era when the number of secondary schools and students enrolments has increased at a multiple rate. The old Anambra State was a good case where enrolments have increased 118% between 1979-1980 and have remained the fastest growing sector in Nigerian education.

Today Nigeria has entered into the second tier secondary education system.  The 6-3-3-4 education system (the national policy on education) was enunciated in 1977 by the Federal Government of Nigeria and came into effect is September 1982.

 

The gave rise to the four components of educational system the primary school the junior secondary school, the senior secondary school and the Higher institution.  Nigeria change from the age-long grammar and literally based education system to a science and technically oriented one.  This was a broad based education with emphasizes on the attainment of lasting and functional literacy and effective communication skills.

 

Currently, schools have been to the State Government.  School fees, educational levies etc have been introduced.  All these increased the burden of training a ward in school.  This tends to be pulling down the enrolment rate in schools.  In trying to understand the differences and common element in traditional and modern primary education it is sometime helpful to look for analogies.

 

Thus we may take a typical example or an aptsmile or make a diagrammatic representation.  These analogies may be called models because they put in concrete form what is believed to be the essence of a principle.  The Garden of Eden, platos’ cave Animal farm and Lord of the flies may be considered instances of this.  The purpose of the model is to get to the heart of the matter.  Jesus used this parables for this purpose, and Socrates took his models from the everybody life of the Cobbler, the mule – driver, the cook.

 

A teacher, like a guardian in relation to a ward, who is mindful of children’s interest, is not necessarily exercised about what they actually want or are interest in, or their hobbies, he (orshe) is concerned about protecting them in what he thinks they have a right to pursue to with ensuring that they pursue what is both worthwhile and suitable for them, ie beneficial for them.  He therefore has to consider not only what is in general worthwhile but also what the potentialities and capacities are of the particular children for whom he is responsible.

Finally something must be said about the ceremonial or ritualistic side of imitation professor Peters treats this as incidental but nevertheless important, thus he says.

Lessons are obviously not quite the same as initiation ceremonies.  But they are certainly most effective when they share some of their atmosphere.

DATA COLLECTION

3.1     SOURCES OF DATA

          This survey was carried out in Oji-River Local Government Area only.

The primary data used were collected from selected primary school pupils by means of questionnaire.  Another set of questionnaire were administered to the parent/guardians of the pupil residing within Oji – River Local Government.

In addition, total for yearly enrolment from selected post primary school for a period of eleven years (1988 – 1999) academic sessions

 

3.2     SAMPLING FRAME

          The sampling frame for secondary school study is the list of all the eleven secondary school in Oji-River Local Government Area.  This sampling frame is made up of five boy’s secondary schools, five girl’s secondary school and one mixed school; (co-education).

The frame for primary school study is the primary school in the towns that made up Oji-River Local Government Area.  The towns are Achi, Akpugoeze, Awlaw, Inyi and Ugwuoba.  Also, the parents/guardians were equally covered under this scope.

 

3.3     SAMPLING TECHNIQUE

          Sample random sampling was used in selecting the secondary school that were used in the study. Simple random sampling was chosen because it is a procedure in which all the individuals secondary schools in the defined population (finite) have an equal and independent chance of being selected as a member of the sample so as to be the representative of the population from which they are drawn.

 

All the names of each of the boys secondary schools were written on sheet of paper and wrapped.  The researcher then closed his eyes and picked out one of the balloting papers and the secondary school picked noted.  These he did three good times in order to pick out three boy’s secondary school.  The various school picked were the selected school.  Enrolment for the first year students each academic section were taken with respect to the schools selected.  This method of simple random sampling applied to the boy’s secondary schools was equally applied to that of the girls secondary schools.

The enrolment for the girls schools for only the first year student each academic session were taken with respect to the schools selected.

The same simple random sampling technique was used in selecting the primary schools that were used in the study.  There the major towns Achi, picked.  The primary schools in the selected towns were Achi, Akpugoeze, Awlaw, Inyi and Ugwuoba were used either. Three towns were picked.

The questionnaires were administered to both pupils and parents/guardians.

Also systematic sampling was used to administer questionnaires to the individuals.

 

3.4     PILOT SURVEY

          Pilot survey was carried out primarily to test the adequacy of the questionnaire.  It assists to dictate problems that the correspondent will encounter in the process of filling the questionnaire.  The pilot survey helped the researcher to have a glimnse of the main survey.  It equally helped to determine the volume of labo expected in the main project.

Below is a table for the distribution of the questionnaires and valid returns from the pilot survey.

          Out of the questionnaires distributed for the pilot survey, questionnaires were received as valid returns from the parents/guardians.  It shows the valid returns of 87% were made from the pilot survey while invalid returns were made.

And for the pupils, 80% valid returns were credited which in effect showed that only invalid returns were recorded from the questionnaires administered from the pilot survey.

 

 

 

3.5     SAMPLE SIZE

          The sample size for this survey was determined separately for pupils and parents/guardians.

The sample size for the pupils were determined based on the cost function and volume of labour required.  Though 45 questionnaires were administered but a sample sixe4 of 36 was used to carry out the study similarly, 45 questionnaires were administered to parents/guardians and a sample size of 39 was used either this was based on the volume of work and cost in carrying out the project.

The various sample size were used because the cost of carrying out one unit is higher than the cost of more units.  It could be noted that higher the sample size.  The more precise the result is expected to be.

 

3.6     LIMITATION

          These are the problems the research hers encountered during data collection.  The records of students enrolment in JSS I are not well kept.  One has to read strongly between lines before he extracts t he data.  Moreso, some primary school pupils did not know the importance of questionnaires and as

CHAPTER ONE

 

INTRODUCTION

Crime is any act that is contrary to the law, which can lead one to punish accordingly.

Nigeria is a country where things work on a reversible order. Some crimes are punishable by law, depend on the country. In our state (Enugu) to be precisely, some offences like cheating, rigging of election, stealing, advance free frauds (419), and many more are tend to be in reverse other.

Any citizen that fall under crime may be punish depend on how the state used to punish their offenders, due to neglection. The rate of crime in Nigeria is a nagging one, such that it will be difficult to known the real criminals. However the word crime compasses the acts which are contrary to the law and the principle of National Justice, since the society has streamline crime to only armed robbery.

 

 

  • STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

It is the reported case of crime committed in the country, recorded. This is a research work which seeks to convey out an analysis of reported cases of crime from the year 1996 to 2003.

 

 

  • AIM AND OBJECTIVES
  1. To critically examine whether the crime in Enugu state exhibit or display a trend.
  2. To compare the rate of crime between one class of crime and another.
  3. To find out whether the class of crime is independent or dependent of sex.
  4. To ascertain if seasons contributed to number of crime committed.

 

 

  • CLASSIFICATION OF CRIME
  1. FELONY (Crime against person)
  2. MISDEAMOUR (Offence against properties)
  3. SIMPLE OFFENCE(FELONY NOR MISDEAMOUR)

FELONY- can be defined as a serious breaking of law, which may be sentence that lead to death. Example murder.

MISDEAMOUR – can be defined as an unlawful act, which is not serious in nature it is punishable for more than six months (that’s penalty for a committee). Example Arson.

SIMPLE OFFENCE – This neither felony nor misdeamour, it is punishable by imprisonment for less than six months, examples: forgery and unlawful possession.

 

 

  • SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

This study would be great vital to the general public, the government, the Nigeria police and other agencies of crime concerned.

 

 

  • THE SCOPE AND COVERAGE OF THE STUDY

Aim of this study and basis of the availability of data, where attention is given to the Enugu state central police station as a unit study. It is choosing as consequent of my interest in the study of crime in Enugu urban areas. The research work covers the analysis of cases of reported crime for period of eight year from January 1996 to December 2003.

  • LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

The study was designed formally to cover more year is restricted to 8 years due to financial and constraints of time.

 

 

  • DEFINITION OF TERMS

CASE – is a set of events, which demand action.

OFFENCE – is any unlawful act.

IMPRISONMENT – This is the act of putting some one into prison for a period of time.

PRISON is building that made for lawbreakers.

CONSTITUTIONS are laws upon which government of a state or country is build up law are rules made by government of a nation.

BRIBE – this is a process by which thing offered to influence a person to act in the favour of the giver.

ARSON – It is unlawful setting up against one’s properties eg setting on fire of some one’s building or car.

MURDER – It is the illegal deliberated of killing human beings. It is seriously law breaking which is under felony.

KIDNAPPING – this occur when there is problem between two parties and one of them decied to target where the other party is and take the party away for Assign, so that he/she can step down for him.

Forgery is a crime that can emphasis where by a person is claiming what is not his belong by force. Instance, you can see where people of Ngwo is claiming a land from Nike people.

 

CHAPTER TWO

 

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE ON CRIME

  • SOCIO – ECONOMIC REVIEW ON CRIME

This is a study by Howard Freeman of university of London reveal in the year 199, that people of all apparently ages commit all types of crime, while the age group of young adults are marked by super furious rate of crime.

He stated that the challenges of youths in Nigeria have never been as it is now. Also he gave support that the rate of criminal behaviour among youths are not only in the personal development offender and temperature, but lack of occupational and social opportunities, and the community fail to integrate him into the social structure.

According to text, that the prevention of crime and guilty was advocated by Allan Coffey who instances that most people conceive crime as law violation which is not crime, he classified deviance as one such, in which he later defined as the act that do not follow the expectations and norms of a particular state. In this issue deviance may be positively sanctioned when rewarded or negatively sanctioned when it is punishable.

  • POLITICAL REVIEW ON CRIME

In this, the consulted materials related on how different writer and power had studied different reviews and concluded on the disease that had afflicted the country or state

 

The military regimes that ruled the country Nigeria had been noless guilt as Chief F. S. Giwa Osaigwe opened that General Babangida regime was the regime that brought corruption in our country today, before Abacha’s dictorship was founded on corruption also and his regime nearly legitimatized or justified corruption in Nigeria,

 

Abdusalemi Abubaka regime was where corruption became the master of our country and then after came to Chief Olusegun Obasanjo’s regime which is democracy where stealing, Arson and advance free frauds (Nig) were known as climate, Ignored felony which the most serious law breaking. In his regime any body that commit felony are not punishing as the law stated, rather will lock and release, mysteriously by bribe.

 

 

ANAMBRA CRISIS

This is still under political reviews on crime through the first tenure of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, the traveled all over the world to re-integrate Nigeria into the comity of civilized nations and to attacks the much needed for foreign investment to the economy. The president reportedly claimed that the investors are waiting for the outcome of the April 200 election when they will be convinced, the democracy has come to stay and that we can successfully manage a civilian to civilian transition.

 

But the 2003 April election took place also in the state and was allegedly marred by wide spread irregularities that almost resulted in civil unrest, and the losers’ claimed that there was no election but not knowing that it is a mockery to the democracy it was when George Mogharlu, one of the gubernatorial candidates in Anambra state was asked some one, that his honestly impressed of the gubernatorial elections in the state, in later likened himself to an unway passenger who entered armed robbery vehicle and lost all he has except his life and said that for a decent man to run for a post of public officer is a dangerous enterprises.

 

Talk of Chief Chris Uba and Chris Ngige, the current running popular political opera. The Anambra crisis has provided the much needed to convince themselves that the April elections were massively rigged with the active convince and participation of the state institutions including the army, police, INEC and the security agencies. What Chris Uba and his cohort Anambra was to set the clock of their much needed foreign investments back to another four years and to reduce the four years of presidential travels into sight seeing.

Nevertheless, Governor Chris Ngige was kidnapped by people (his enemies) from the state to some where, forced him to agreed that he will be given them forty percent of what the state will be earning. Ngige disagreed on their suggestion due to it is a compulsory acquisition been the forty percent of what state is earning, then forced to sign that he is no more the Governor f the state and burnt his car. Before all these happened a writer, Chinua Achebe posited that we as citizens of Nigerians rarely registered into political parties, but it was few percentages of citizens that participated in the politics.

While a Lieutenant general and Chief of Army staff Salihu Ibrahim said that unless the politicians are allow making mistakes and learning from the mistakes, that our political development would continue to be embaryonic state for a long period to come. That unless the military learns now to keep their land off politics in our country, our political development will continue to be at of rudiment for future generations.

ABSTRACT

          The rate of death of our children attracts concern from every Nigerian.

It is clear that the only way to wipe out a race is to cut its means of future reproduction which is the children and this children are believed to be our future presidents, governors etc and the ensure older generation of a better tomorrow.  Infant morality have a considerable significance on demography.

 

The level of death rate in early life has been described as a crucial test of the health service and special progress of a country.The young child’s life is wholly dependent on the care of mothers.  It is base on this that the government through the ministry of health fights to ensure that all the preventable childhood disease that leads to infant deaths the reduced to most minimal level.

 

This gave way to the introduction of Expanded programme on immunization (EPI) and ORAL Dehydration Therapy (ORT).  These programmes are aimed at teaching parents on how to make salt, sugar, water as oral drip to cure diarrhea and to immunize poliomyelitis, small pox, chicken pox, whooping cough and tuberculosis.

 

Ever since the introduction of these programmes, great lots have been achieved by reducing the number of infants death.  This instigated my writing this project.With the data I collected from park-lane general hospital, Enugu on the number of infants death and sex distribution.

CHAPTER ONE

1.0     INTRODUCTION

          Infant mortality is mostly caused by diseases and these diseases are due to the prevalence of parasite hosts in certain areas.  It is believed that year, thousands of children are born in this country and thousands of these children die from diseases such as diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, poliomyelitis, measles and childhood tuberculosis.

This is stated in a pamphlet on Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) published by the Federal Epidemiological unit, Federal Ministry of Health, Lagos, 1981.

Children’s development and survival are influenced by a number of factors which include environmental sanitation, most of all nutrition and parents lack of awareness some children are malnourished due to the fact that their parents do not know what constitutes a balanced diet for.

They lack the knowledge of what helps the children to grow normally and build up strong immunity against such diseases that emanate from under – nourished diet.  Some parents are illiterate and ignorant, that is why in some remote areas of the country children die out of carelessness and parent ignorance.

Ignorance, in the sense that some parents do not know or observe the programme introduced by the ministry of Health to ward – off those six killer diseases which is Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI), presently, the government of Nigeria has carried out a national expanded programme on immunization (EPI) to control these six childhood diseases throughout the federation.

Although, Nigeria has been declared small pox free surveillance against the disease is still being maintained.  Government should be commended on their efforts to create awareness on the side of the parent and their effort to ward off these diseases, thereby reducing the infant deaths in the country.

More can be done also by educating the parents o how to maintain good environmental hygiene ad nutritional standard of their diet so as to rear healthy children.

Actually, the rate of infant mortality motivated me to carry out a research on this project topic and also suggest ways which can reduce the rate of infant mortality.

 

 

1.1     AIMS AND OBEJCTIVES

          The aims and objectives of this project are as following

  1. To determine the ratio of males to females death, among infants less than 1 year.
  2. To determine whether infant mortality is greater tan the standard range for infant, mortality which is (10-55) deaths per every 1000.
  3. To determine if mortality is independent of sex of a child.
  4. To determine if the mean mortality for male and female infants are the same.
  5. To suggest possible preventive measures to reduce the number of infant deaths that occur.

 

 

1.2     LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

          This study is limited in scope and coverage area to the park-lane hospital, Enugu.  The age interval considered in this project is from 1 month to 1 year, because from the definition of the term, “infant mortality” the most ideal age is under 1 month to 1 year.

 

 

1.3     DEFINITION OF TERMS

  1. Demography: This is define as the study of statistics of human population, it helps in studying how the population growth had behaved in the past and how it is going to behave in future.
  2. Morbidity Rates: Morbidity in statistics involves illnesses, injures, hospitalization, and incapacitation applicable definitions of sickness in an area.

This term refer to diseases or injury at an appropriate level of measurement.  The general intention is that the terms used should cover the whole course of one disease or injury in one person as far as the course is relevant to the particular enquiry concerned.

Morbidity data are collected through specific reports, examples are;

  1. Notification of infection diseases
  2. Notification of congenital abnormalities and it is also being collected form special disease register like cancer register, coronary register.

iii.      Infant Mortality:  Mortality rate is the index of death over the index of birth for a given period and infant morality is being defined by considering the term used in their project work as infant under 1 month to 1 year.

According to Puffer R.R. Serrand in his book mortality in childhood 1978, described it as the number of death under one year over the number of the birth multiplied by 1000.

It can be represented mathematically as:

Number of death under 1 year          x        100

Number of life birth

Infant mortality rates vary from country to country

  1. Diseases: This is sickness or disorder caused by infections.  There are lots of diseases that brings about death of children.  These diseases include;
  2. Tuberculosis
  3. Measles
  • Whooping cough
  1. Diphtheria
  2. Tetanus
  3. Small pox
  • Poliomyelitis
  • Kwashiorkor

 

Tuberclosis

Tuberclosis is a common acute or chronic disease which can cause disability and death.

It usually affects the respiratory system, bones, joints and nervous systems.

Skins and lymphatics the tubercle bacillus may enter the body of inhalation infection or direct inoculation. Inhalation of bacillus spread in droplet formed by coughing or sneezing.

Signs and symptoms: fever, weight loss and chest pains.

Preventive measures: the health education of the public and necessary isolation of the known cases, then administration of BCG vaccination against the disease.

Measles

This is a communicable childhood disease. The virus is spread largely by the droplet spray from the nose, throat and mouth of persons in the early stage of the most readily transmitted communicable diseases.

Signs and symptoms: fever, headache, rashes all over the body,

Preventive measures: includes immunizing the children against the disease, isolation of the cases of measles from susceptible children until 5 days after appearance of rash.

 

Whooping cough

Whooping cough is an acute bacterial disease it is a very serious disease and one of the major killers among the children. The disease is transmitted by droplet spread and by direct or indirect contact with discharge from respiratory mucos membrances of infected persons.

Signs and symptoms: irritative cough and slight fever.

Preventive measures are:

  1. Isolation of known cases
  2. Health education of the public and particularly parents.
  • Immunization against whooping cough

 

Diphtheria

This is an infectious disease characterized by the formulation of a fibrous pseudo – membranes on the mucosa usually that of respiratory tract. It is transmitted by droplets from the respiratory tract of a carrier or a patient.

The only effective control is by active immunization with diphtheria toxtoid.

Tetanus

This is a disease induced by a toxin of the tetanus bacillus growing anaerobically at the site of an injury.

In new born, transmission may occur by contamination of the umbilical cord, the risk of tetanus is universal, it is particularly high in developing countries.

Effective and durable protection against tetanus can be obtained only by active immunization preferably with absorbed to toid which is generally afforded in infancy or early childhood.

 

Smallpox

This is a very serious disease which spreads rapidly from person to person and it kills children, disfigures and gives rise to blindness.

It is caused by germs spread through coughing and sneezing and can be as well prevented by isolating the infected person and vaccination.

Signs and symptoms: high fever, headache, backache and rashes like pimples

 

Poliomyelitis

This is a viral disease with seventy ranging from in apparent infection to non paralyte diseas. The causative agent belongs to the enteromous family.

Polionmses exist as 3 (three) immunologic strains associated with epidermics. Besides, man, chimpanzee and monkeys are also susceptible.

Poliovirus are spread primarily by direct contact and by carriers. The virus is present in the secretion of the throat and the intestinal excretion and it enhances spread of the infection especially where there is poor sanitation.

Signs and symptoms: 3 (three) clinical forms of poliomyelitis are recognized abortive, paralytic and non-paralytic forms, they have common sign and symptoms which are fever, headache, sore-throat and stiff neck.

Preventive measures – active immunization of all susceptible persons against 3 types of polio viruses.

  1. Isolation of patient for more than 7 days.
  2. Vaccination for all families and other close contact.
  • Health education to the public on the importance of sanitation.

 

Kwashiorkor

This is malnutrition and it is common in children who are not well fed with the appropriate nutrient required for good health.

Signs and symptoms: weakness, growth retardation, anaemia, may have swollen feet, fever and protruded stomach. It could be prevented by giving the children adequate meals that have the required good nutritional values.

ABSTRACT

 

Due to the falling standard of education especially in our tertiary institution of learning the study was based on analysis on handout and generally student’s attitude towards them.

In view of this, primary data was used in the study to obtain data from the student by the use of questionnaires. The following methods of analysis are employed, chi-square lest, population proportion and percentage and analysis of variance (ANOVA)

The justification of this research less in the fact that handout should not be an alternative to lecture note, it should be a mean to the end and not the end itself. Also handout has a significant effect on the academic performance of student in the real sense, but the price of handout should not be made too exboitant by the lectures.

Based on these, it would be our belief that this research work will help in the control of the falling standard of education in Nigeria. as a whole.

CHAPTER ONE

 

INTRODUCTION

  • BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The historical development of education in Nigeria shows much difference between the present mode and policies of education than the 1950’s and 1960’s.

These were few primary and secondary schools than as well as few institutions of higher learning’s. These were also few students than and this was the colonial administration eva in Nigerian. Lectures were very effective because of appropriate control in the few universities and polytechnics /teachers training colleges.

In addition, the textbooks were mainly foreign most of them were from the United Kingdom. They were cheap and easy to procuse. Most of the textbooks were ordered for and received on schedule for a particular subject.

Students were taught to be good ambassador of their various villages and taken, so as to be good representative of their areas of origins.

Qualitative education was being giving then, student craved for knowledge and not studying only to pass examinations in schools. Reading was under conducive environments.

 

The present stage can be termed as the quantitative type of education. Where there are quantitative backgrounds necessitated building in numberable primary schools, post primary schools as institution of higher learning both in towns and villages. Worse still is the creation of more states, which has increased the numbers of universities and polytechnics.

 

Numbers of student admitted into each department yearly are now too many for lecture to control and supervise. The classroom became inadequate to accommodated students who intend to receive lectures yet mega-phones were not used to magnify anchor for the benefit of innumerable students who struggle to listen to the lectures in the classroom.

In the process many students return from lecture center with many complain of not benefiting from lecture delivered. The final consequence is poor result in quizzes and examination which may not be the fault of the students.

 

As a result of this complains some of the wise lecture thought it necessary to put their lectures in printing form and distribute to student to read at home for proper understanding of the subject under study. They do this, by extracting facts from relevant works of exports.

 

This is the advert of handout into the educational system of Nigeria. This has become so popular for the institutional procedures and almost inevitable handout according to oxford English Dictionary is a prepared statement given eg leaflet, statements by politicians to news men etc. Given free of changes as a gift of food, money and other items. This means, that handout is supposed to be free gift from the lecturers to the students as aid to effective learning. Developing counties have experienced the benefit of distant education offered by the overseas universities to students by the use of handouts issued by raid examine and Nigeria exams success Yaba Lagos to students offering G.C.E in time past.

Handouts are quite handy and easy to glance through by the students. Easy assimilation and easily retentive. They are cheap to precuve and save the students from stressful search for textbooks, which are highly costly to but, especially at this current economic recession in Nigeria.

 

But in this present days, the basic aim of handout introduction into institution of higher learning is being abused. Handouts have become sources of wealth to many lectures, who had made it compulsory for students to buy at high prices without which the students want to fail, they resort to demanding higher expenses from their parents and guardian in order to meet up. Where parents cannot meet up demands, students are now forced to involve in social problems.

 

On the other hand, since buying of the handouts by students is criteria of passing the quizzes and examinations, students refuses to make research from textbooks and concentrate on handouts. This lead to poor quality turns out of graduates from universities and polytechnics.

In other words, instead of the student to exploit the benefits that is offered by handouts, some complain about being exploited by lectures through the issues handout  to them.

The main issued now is to find out the actual attitude of students towards the use of handouts in institution of higher learning in Nigeria. This is the main theme of this work

 

  • STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

The main aim of education is to acquire knowledge in institution of all dimensions. The effectiveness of the acquisition of knowledge institution is been measured by the level of passes in quizzes and examination. Qualitative and effective lecturer which is well understood by students makes the success in quizzes and examination easy. And study aids in which handouts feature prominently are essential to elevate the student’s success through quizzes and examinations. Introduction of handout has a very good intentions on students, but the high cost of the handouts is making students to have mixed feeling parents and guardians of student complain abut the exploitation of students by lecturers through handouts. On the other hand, lecturers have to cover the cost of material used in the production of the handouts. Our major issue now in this study is to know the cost-benefit analysis so as know the attitude of students towards the use of handout either justifiable or not justifiable.

  • AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF STUDY

The recent prescription order on the sales of handouts in institution of higher learning by the government was greeted with mixed feelings. How it was design to strengthen the dwinding performance of students and falling standard f education in our country. However the direct benefactor (students) in this issue was indifferent to the decision of those that are in authority.

Consequently this research work is been designed to reveal among others things

  1. To determine if handouts have any significant effect on students performances.
  2. To determine if student’s attitudes to handout is independent of school and students perception of lecture note.
  3. To determine the average amount spent on handouts by students and to is significantly different from school to school
  4. To determine student general reaction to the prices of handouts.
  5. To find out the views of lecturers towards the sales and are of handouts in institution of higher learning.

 

 

  • SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The study would be of a great help to the students, lectures and even the general public. It would serve as a guide to institutions of higher learning, for effective dynamic and smooth running of schools. However the research work is meant to:

  • Fusnesh the best guide to the sale and use of handout.
  • To justify the nation of sales of handout in schools.
  • This survey is set out to meet these needs with a view to make a useful findings, conclusion and recommendations to students, school authorities researcher and government in particular as a guide to a god sound educational policy in Nigeria.

 

 

  • LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

This project was seriously constrained by a number of factors, the most pronounced of which were time and money.

TIME: Time was by far the most important hindrance to this work. Since we were tied down with serious studies for our examinations, this research was not given the most appropriate or enough treatment possible. So far this, the assertion that time is money, seems to have us in contemplation. We had to work seriously round the clock to make this work possible.

MONEY: We strongly believe that money makes things go easier. Limited funds at that particular time also posed some threats to the realisation and completion of this work.

Going to libraries for days, meeting and pleading with students to fill the questionnaires in time since they felt it was very close to examination period, it couldn’t take out time from their light schedule to do such.

The typesetting and binding the finding into booklet all demanded a lot in monetary terms.

 

 

  • ASSUMPTION

We assume accurate and reliable data and figure and at the end of this study. We would be able to know the merit and demerit of the use of handout in our great institution f higher learning (I.M.T) and it using attitude from school to the others.

 

 

  • DEFINITION OF TERMS

LITERATURE REVIEW

One might ask how handout got itself involved in the learning and academic pursuit of student in various tertiary institution of learning. Well, if not for a critical examination of the falling standard of education in Nigeria (student not living up-to expectation after graduating from higher institution of learning) so as to create confidence and reliability again in our educational system.

Handouts defined by oxford English Dictionary is a prepared statement giving by politician to news paper men, leaflet etc distributed free. So in this verification, handouts are supposed to be free gift from lecturer to student as to aid better leaving and understanding.

James Hastily expression that “it is a common practices in universities” teaching for lecturers to provide lecture handout to accompany their verbal exposition these handout varies in function and design-some such teaching aids are common there is as far as we can discover, little on their we and their effects and virtually no research no their design. He also stated that the little research that has been done show

  • That student gets higher test score from lecturers accompanied by handout than from lecturers without them.
  • The student appreciate handout
  • That the design of the handout markedly affect students note taking practices.

Offorbuike Samuel Arinze in his project work (1990) stated that handout is a type- written material prepared by the lectures of I.M.T covering part of (or all) the course content for a particular class for the semester which the lecturer normally use for lecturing. The student in place of the lecture note. In his survey, he also discovered that about 4.43% of the variation in the proportion of student’s preference for type of student material (Handout, lecture notes textbook) may be attributed to difference in ages of students and that 42% of age group 15.19 year prefer handout as against 15% of the age group 30 years and above who manifest similar choice.

In this study also sex was found to have a zero effect or student preference to study material.

Eleyimi, Olufunke B. in her project work (December 1996) state that handout are section or summarized. Writing sold to student by their lecturers to ensure speedy coverage of the syllabus. In her work, she found out that there are significant differences:

  1. In the average amount spent on handouts by students in the different schools.
  2. Lecturers view varied greatly towards the use of handouts.
  3. The ratio of student that have opinion that price of handout is high (0.66) to the overall population compared to those who paid that the price are moderate and low (0.28, and 0.06) respectively.

David Newsle and Robert Cannon in their book, pointed out the abuse of handouts can serve as number of useful purpose in your teaching, but this medium is frequently misused because the material is often simply distributed to student and then quickly forgotten that little though u given to the design and use of handout.

 

Romiszowki A. J in his view pointed on private median and their abuse he said printed material have been and continue to be, the single most common category of teaching material.  So printed materials with continue to be used and abused in instruction.

 

He felt it was abused by the ease with which they are being obtained reproduced and calculated leads to their often excessive or in appropriate use in the instructional process.

This literatures review was not only based on books and past project as:

The federal Radio Co-operation Enugu in her commentary on February 10th, 2005. Said a lot of thing in affirmative in this commentary, it was stated that the “Sales of Handout” to student gained prominence. when it became increasingly difficult to produce the relevant textbooks for the various discipline”. The textbook were either not available locally or were too expensive for  student. Therefore there was justification, in the handing out of these copies of lecture which the students were to pay for.

 

It became evident that lecturer who said handout saw financial profits. They therefore decided to entered the sales of handout just for business intention and not really to help students in their studies. They make sure price that increases and students have to pay for them crying inwardly.

 

Most of the handouts are absolute in content apart from the high cost. This is because most of the handout was student and they make no move to update handouts.

 

Federal Radio Co-operation of Nigeria went further to point out that there is much to this issue of handout than all these said. They laid emphases on the fact that sales of handout encourage intellectual laciness both on the lectures and on the student too. Saying that in some cases, lecturers in most tertiary institutions, insist on student buying handout as a pre-condition to pass their course especially in quizzes sometimes the lectures even have register of student who have paid for their handout and their creates a great panic in the heart of the student.

Frankly speaking such an approach to teaching leads to the production of half-cooked graduate in our various institution of higher learning.

Since the federal ministry of education has new banned the sales of handout in tertiary institution in our country, there have been similes in the face of the students. The enters society is so concerned about the issue of handouts. Recently, the Enugu State Broadcast Station (ESBS) I’m Staves in new broadcast on commentary institution of February in tertiary 10, 2005 dwell on the topic “Handout” Scandal in tertiary institution.

It was noted first in the commentary that handout usually serve as supplement to textbook or as alternative to them.

The Enugu State ministry of information made a vigor’s research on handout scandal and the cause was traced t two reasons:

  • The lack of textbook
  • The irregularity in payment of lecture salaries and as a result of the as collecting cost living in the economy of the country.
  • THE LACK OF TEXTBOOK: It is the utmost desire of every district and thoughtfully student to have textbook on the course he/she is studying in institution of higher learning but it is quit unfortunate that student cannot be able to afford the cost of textbook in the market. So they have no alternative, rather than handout student no longer go for textbooks, instead they go for substitution major which is handout.
  • The irregularity in payment of lecture salaries and as a result of the escalating cost living in the economy of the country: Everyone knows that education has collapsed in Nigeria. That is no longer news. The schools are in shambles. The school system are updated. The state secretary of the Nigeria union of Teacher )NUT) Mr. Jamiu Idris told NAN recently that the protect had become inevitable following the shortfall of salary to the lecture and teachers, most lecturers are neglected and tracematized he can hardly pay his rent. He cannot afford basic medical care when he is sick in a country where minister go abroad to treat common affliction like malaria and that is what important. Some of them to starts selling handout to student

To meet up with these problem, the lecture are confronted with the challenges of continual survival, some compare themselves with fellows in other sectors of the economy, like the out companies workers who are millionaires the investigation carried out show that in most tertiary institution, lecture make sure that their handout are compulsory for student at exorbitant price.

It is quit obvious that the school management have tried to control the production and sales of handout in the school, a lot of communiqué have been issued out repeatedly to the institution of management and technology, Enugu.

In accordance to the above statement (ref:IMT/MM33/Vol. iv) dated new circular ref: IMT/RG/AB/22. at an emergency meeting of the academic bard held on 9th August 2004/2005. The board deliberated and deplored the apparent disregard of it earlier decision on the sales of handouts in this institution.

The academic board later gave a serious warning discouraging the sale of handout in the institution (I.M.T) But in the process where the handout was essential to the student progress then it must be submitted lastly to the head of department for approval and then passed to the registrar for preparation costing and sales for the avoidance of doubt, any of such handout should have few pages.

 

MAJOR RECOMMENDATIONS ON HANDOUT AND TEXTBO0KS ETC BY THE BC FOR ADOPTION BY THE ACADEMIC BOARD

REF: IMT/AB/37/Vol iv/ dated 24 August 2004/2005. Which were on preparation and sales of handout and sales of handout respectively?

The business committee of the academic board in it meeting on 18th and 24th August, 2004/2005 considered the attached paper from the deputy rector and came out with some rules that will be beneficial to the institute. It was stated the price of handout should follow the below conditions

  • All handout must have be clear and readable
  • All handout must have to copies formally deposited with the director, who is turn leaves a copy with the deputy rector.
  • The submission must be handouts in use must be done every semester is is to say that any new handout being used in a semester must go through this process to ensure proper monitoring by the various directors and
  • Handouts are to sell at N2.5 per page not more than 70 pages.

During the orientation of new student. It was made known that handout does not determine student score that lectures were not allow to sell handout because it was being abused some year back.

Nowadays because of the fact that student have no seats and tables. While taking lecture notes and lecture rooms are usually congested, which make it difficult for student to learn when the lecturer is teaching? These coupled with many more reasons brought back the selling of handout to school. Nevertheless no lecture had is a must. The decision to buy or not to buy handout should be made by the student most importantly.
