Item 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.Item Spatial Analysis of Journey-to-School by Secondary School Students in Minna, Nigeria(CHSMJ, 2024-12-02) Akande, O.; Adeleye B. M.; Musa, H.D.; Medayese, S.O.; Odumosu, Y.; Morenikeji, W.Item Spatial Analysis of Journey-to-School by Secondary School Students in Minna, Nigeria(Construction and Human Settlements Management Journal (CHSMJ), 2024) Akande, O.; Adeleye B. M.; Musa, H.D.; Medayese, S. O.; Odumosu, Yemi.; Morenikeji, WoleEducation infrastructure planning is an integral part of society amidst the rapid urbanisation experienced in Nigerian cities. This study analysed the Journeyto-School of public and private secondary school students in Minna, Nigeria. The study's objectives were to examine the spatial analysis of public and private secondary schools and the distance covered by the students from home to school in Minna. Quantitative data were collected from 8422 students in 107 schools comprising 20 public and 87 private secondary schools. Data collected were corroborated with geographic information analysis. The study reveals that the average distance covered (2.70km) by students attending public schools is more than the distance covered (2.07km) by students attending private secondary schools. The study further reveals that 53.19% of the students in public schools travel more than 2 km to school daily, but with the inclusion of private schools, the percentage of students travelling above 2 km to school daily was reduced by 10%. The study concludes that the cluster and the random distribution in private and public secondary schools are indications of poor education infrastructure planning. The study, therefore, recommends proper education infrastructure planning and that public schools should be provided in neighbourhoods where students travel more than 5 km daily to access secondary educationItem SPATIAL INVENTORY OF TOURISTS SITES IN ZUNGERU FOR SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT IN NIGER STATE NIGERIA(Ethiopian Journal of Environmental Studies & Management, 2018-12-20) Shaibu S.I.; Medayese, S.O.; Musa, H.D.
