(IOSR Journal Of Environmental Science, Toxicology And Food Technology, 2012-12-06) Abdrazack, N.T.A.; Medayese, S.O.; Matins, V. I.; Idowu, O .O,; Adeleye B.M,; Bello, L.O
One of the characteristics of African cities is uncoordinated urbanization with a trend of 4% annually, but the rate differs according to regions. Several factors are associated with urbanization such as lifestyle, consumption habit and pattern. The environment today is facing challenges from urbanization as consumption of resources such as land; water; energy, and air have changed to artificial environment. Energy consumption has been the driving force in global warming. Overtime, urbanization has been a great threat to sustainability of urban environment. However, kerosene and LPG that are supposed to be the major source of energy for cooking becomes unaffordable to low income households. This research was conducted in two residential areas of the identified neighbourhood and the choice of this neighbourhood is influenced by the fact that the phenomenon under study is more prevalent in the high and medium density localities. The effect of increase in electricity tariff, kerosene and LPG has shifted the focus of household source of cooking energy to biomass and this has been the cause of the environmental problems in the area which includes Indoor Air Pollution, Deforestation and Desertification. The analysis however shows a significant relationship between choice of energy and income.

Appraisal of the Housing Delivery Mandate of Selected Government Agencies in Nigeria
(Environmental Technology & Science Journal, 2021-12-02) Oyewobi, L.; Agoi, O.; Medayese, S.O.; Bilau, A.; Martins, V.; Jimoh, R.
In spite the concerted efforts made by housing stakeholders in formulating and implementing the 2012 National Housing Policy to bridge the gap between housing demand and supply, the housing situation remains in crisis and hampering on existing policies, sustainable housing delivery with consequent socio-economic, environmental, and political implications. These challenges call for an appraisal of the 2012 National housing policy towards identifying effective mechanism for the policy’s implementation. This paper assessed the roles of the housing policy’s implementing agencies (Federal Housing Authority and Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria), identify the challenges faced by the agencies and provide strategies for effective implementation of the National housing policy in Nigeria. In conducting this study, a mixed methods approach was adopted. The study identified the roles played by the designated agencies towards ensuring effective implementation of the National housing policy to include facilitating the development and management of real estate across all states, provision of sites and services for all income groups. Some of the major challenges found to be affecting the provision of adequate housing include increasing cost of procuring land and building materials, poorly developed mortgage finance system and high interest rates on mortgages and cumbersome building plans approvals processes. Though the agencies made concerted efforts in living up to their responsibilities, the efforts are not enough as housing deficit continues to increase. It is therefore suggested that all the tiers of government should ensure the provision of adequate infrastructure and appropriate land titles for both implementing agencies and private firms, create enabling environment for private sector participation in long-term housing finance and encourage the use of indigenous and alternative building materials to reduce construction cost.
Are Holidays or Festive Periods to blame for Seasonal Spikes in Road Traffic Accidents in Nigeria?
(Environmental Technology & Science Journal, 2023-12-05) Morenikeji, W.; Musa, H.D.; Micheal, E.; Medayese, S.O.
Over the years, citizens have characteristically viewed festive and holiday seasons in Nigeria as a period when there are spikes in traffic and road crashes. These spike in road crashes have been ascribed to some spiritual or mystical powers which often possess the road ways especially the intercity or highways within the country. The paper examined the impact of holiday and festive periods on the recorded road traffic accident cases in Nigeria for a period ten years (2012 – 2021) using weekly data obtained from the Federal Road Safety Corps Office, the research adopted exploratory data analysis conducted on the Road Traffic accidents data suggests that the data is not normally distributed (Shapiro-Wilk = 0.94, p = .002) hence Kruskal-Wallis test -a non-parametric statistics equivalent of Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was adopted for test of difference. The aim was to isolate the actual period when road accidents occurred most between ordinary day, non-festive holiday and festive holiday periods. National holiday and festive dates were marked on the data sheet and a hypothesis was tested. A Kruskal-Wallis test was conducted to compare the median ranks of three groups: Festive Holiday, Non-holiday, and Non Festive Holiday. The test revealed a significant difference among the groups (χ2(2) = 11.02, p = .004.). Post hoc tests using the Dunn-Bonferroni method showed that Festive Holiday (FH) and Non-holiday (NH) groups had a significantly different median rank (KW = 58.38, Mdn_FH = 220, Mdn_NH = 180, adj.p = .007). Similarly, the Festive Holiday and Non Festive Holiday (NFH) groups had a significantly different median rank (KW = 84.16, Mdn_FH = 220, Mdn_NFH = 177.5, adj. p = .017). However, there was no significant difference in median rank (Mdn) between Non-holiday and Non Festive Holiday groups (KW = 25.77, Mdn_NH = 180, Mdn_NFH = 177.5, adj. p = .948). The study concluded that most road traffic accidents occur during festive holidays.

(Advances in Multidisciplinary and Scientific Research, 2016-12-05) Sulyman, A.O.; Medayese, S.O.
The state of the physical environment in the urban centers is a major source of global concern. This is more evident. In third-world countries like Nigeria. The population growth in the cities has led to physical expansion of the cities beyond their limits. This growth is faced with challenges such as deficiencies ho~slng, Infrast~ucture and outlook. Control of development is therefore paramount to physical planning. This research aimed at assessing the factors affecting urban planning in south-western, Nigeria 2003 and 2013. It explored the perception of residents to physical planning and factors that affects physical planning and urban development. The methodology adopted for this study collectsdata from both primary and secondary sources. 207 questionnaires were administered to respondentsfrom selected states. The agency responsible physical planning, administration in the state was also considered. Random sampling was used in administering the questionnaires. Result from the study indicated that factors such as awareness, funding, corruption, low level enforcement of physical development policies and cumbersome nature of plan approval has been ~n imp.e~im~ntto. physical Planning. It is therefore recommended that advocacy planning and community partlclpatl?n~III helpt.o stem down the challenge often associated with physical planning in urban centers. this Will provde opportunity to have effective and sustainable planned physical environment that is good for bothpresent and future generation.

COMMUNITY CONSULTATION IN RISK MANAGEMENT: EXAMPLES FROM NIGERIA
(Journal of Inclusive cities and Built environment., 2021-03-21) Wahab B.W.; Popoola A.A.; Medayese, S.O.
Disaster and risk experience remains a global pandemic. However, community as an embodiment of stakeholders is an essential aspect to managing the global risk exposures. The argument is that the immediate community plays a vital role in risk management. The study methodology used in exploring community consultations in risk management was through the triangulation of researchers’ experience and a sectoral approach which entail the convergent parallel mixed-method of community consultations. Secondary data was obtained from some selected community consultation programmes on risk management organised by selected risk management agencies in Nigeria’s South-Eastern and Northern regions. The Youth Transformational Leadership Collaborative Initiative within the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), National Youth Service Corps and the NEMA-Military Joint Task Force, and the Borno State residents’ programme reports iterate that communities are frontline stakeholders in risk management. A case study of community disaster risk management in some African countries was also documented. Extensive consultations with critical stakeholders coupled with a healthy sustained collaboration among the stakeholders led to improved coordination in the fight against insurgency in Borno state communities. It was identified that coordinated information dissemination between communities and the Task Force was an effective mechanism for community policing and risk reductions. It was identified that a low level of public awareness of disaster risk, unavailability of relevant data, weak capacity and inadequate personnel, lack of political will, amongst others, were the challenges to community consultation in risk management in Nigeria. The study proposed a community-based disaster risk management approach, which entails intensive and extensive consultation to build people’s capacity of coping with disaster risks towards creating safer and resilient communities.
Community participation as a premise for hangwurian city development in North Central Nigeria
(Heliyon, 2023-11-14) Medayese, S.O.; Magidimisha-Chipungu, H.H.; Chipungu, L
The Hangwurian City Development Model evolved to create a linkage within the concepts of environmental awareness, urban governance, and management. Others are sustainable urban development, urban liveability, and inclusive physical development. These were measured from various indicators ranging from population, environmental knowledge, economic prosperity, quality of life, and safety. The research sorts the critical objective of analysing the significant level of the indicator variables’; and determine the predictive relevance of the indicator variables. The exploratory research employed the partial least square using SmartPLS to evaluate the variables, collecting quantitative data through the open data tool kit from three selected cities of Lokoja, Minna, and Lafia in North-Central Nigeria. The research sampled 399 respondents across the cities randomly selected amongst residents aged 18 years and more reliably targeted household heads as the unit of measurement is the household. The research findings show that most of the examined variables have Cronbach’s Alpha above 0.7, and most of the retained variables have a significant value of greater or equal to 0.7. The average variance of the indicators where very substantial as most were within the 0.5 to 0.6 band. Most of the evaluated indicators have a significant performance index of between 50 and 65 %. The research recommended that this model be applied as a procedural model to guide city development at a regional scale. Hence, it was concluded that for city development to occur and evolve without ills which Hangwurian city development stands for, it must be viewed from the path linkage and significance of environment, governance, sustainability, liveability, and inclusion.
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT OF URBAN AND RURAL HOUSEHOLDS IN MINNA EMIRATE OF NIGER STATE, NIGERIA
(Journal of Inclusive cities and Built environment., 2021-10-25) Abdrazack, N.T.A.; Medayese, S.O.; Matins, I.V.; Idowu, O.O.
Nigeria is an unsustainable country due to an ecological deficit arising from the excessive utilization of natural resources. Resources are consumed more than their bio-capacity. Lifestyle and variation in the needs of households have exerted demands on the natural resources and eventually on the global environment. This research therefore aimed at estimating the Ecological Footprints of the average individual in a household in the urban and rural areas of the Minna region in Nigeria. It identifies the types of resource consumption; the impact of consumption on the EF and compares the EF of both about the level of sustainability. Data were collected employing primary and secondary sources for the study. A total of 400 households was selected for the study. Questionnaire administration was employed to collect the data and random sampling was employed. The data were analyzed through explanatory and inferential statistics. The result of the study shows that the EF of Minna and Maikunkele were 1.10 and 0.892 gha. Households require an average of 0.91 and 0.74 planets to sustain their living standard and generate 6.2 and 4.3 tonnes of CO2 annually. 9 and 6 factors influence EF. It is recommended that the lifestyle of the household in the Minna region has to be modified to reduce pressure on environmental resources and the emission of GHG for sustainable development.

EVOLVING HANGWURAN CITY DEVELOPMENT MODEL THROUGH PARTIAL LEAST SQUARE APPROACH IN NORTH-CENTRAL NIGERIA
(CSID Journal of Infrastructure Development (7) 1: 113-136, 2024-04-04) Medayese, S.O.; Magidimisha-Chipungu, H.H; Chipungu, L
The need for a paradigmatic shift in city development ideology has become increasingly evident over the years. In response to this need, the Hangwurian City Development Model was developed to establish a connection between the concepts of environmental awareness, urban governance, and management. This model also integrates sustainable urban development, urban liveability, and inclusive physical development. The research sets a critical objective of analyzing the significant levels of various indicator variables. The exploratory research utilized partial least squares (PLS) via SmartPLS to evaluate the variables, collecting quantitative data through the open data toolkit from three selected cities: Lokoja, Minna, and Lafia in North-Central Nigeria. The study sampled 843 respondents across the cities, randomly selected among residents aged 18 years and older, with a focus on household heads as the unit of measurement. The research findings indicate that most of the examined variables have Cronbach's Alpha above 0.7, and most of the retained variables have a significance value greater than or equal to 0.7. The average variance explained by the indicators was very substantial, with most falling within the 0.5 to 0.6 range. Therefore, the research recommends that, due to the significance of the indicators and the validity of the internal and external data, this model can be applied as a procedural framework to guide city development on a regional scale. Consequently, it was concluded that for city development to progress and evolve without the issues that Hangwurian city development aims to address, it must be approached through the interconnectedness and significance of environment, governance, sustainability, liveability, and inclusion.

To reduce the national housing deficit in Nigeria, numerous government housing estates were constructed and allocated for people to reside. Government housing estates in Nigeria are now characterized by gross discomfort due poor state of the infrastructures. This study appraised the involvement of Community-Based Organisation in the provision of infrastructural facilities in Mandate Housing Estate, Ilorin, Kwara State. Questionnaires were administered to officials of the Kwara State Housing Corporation and committee members of the CommunityBased Organisations in the estate. Findings reveal that communal involvement led to the provision of culverts, parking facility, walkway, and streetlight while the utilities and services provided by associations also include electric pole, electric transformers, waste disposal, deepwell, borehole, and security. The involvement strategies in community development projects by the associations include resource mobilization, special levy, physical participation, and payment of the regular levy. In contrast, factors influencing residents' participation in community projects include affordability to pay, the influence of neighbours and households, and the suitability of projects. Among the recommendations made for improved infrastructural facilities through community-based organisation are upgrading of amenities in the housing schemes, the connection of the schemes to public water mains, spatial control and review of developmental plan in the estates and housing schemes.
