This paper presents the findings of a case study that explores the existing situation of solid waste management and disposal practices in metropolitan Kano; the largest urban setting in northern Nigeria. The study was developed using various data sourced from field surveys and existing literature. It reveals the indiscriminate nature of the handling and disposal of solid waste in Kano metropolis, which it identifies as unhygienic, unsustainable and poses significant threats to the environment and public health. Therefore, it is recommended that it is imperative to manage efficiently and effectively the waste generated in the area, should the overall goal of sustainable development be achieved. This should include waste minimisation at the source, resource recovery, reuse and recycling.

The Paper examines the spatial distribution of police station in Allahabad City, Uttar Pradesh. Global Positioning System (GPS) was used to measure the coordinates (Latitude and Longitude) of the police station in the Allahabad city, while the population data of each police station were covered from interview and population census (2011). Arc (GIS) software 10.3 ver. was used to draw the map of the distribution. It is important to whether the Police station are informally distributed to help the civilians to locate or reach the police station without much difficulties and also there are times when misperception areas in which Police Station to go and file an FIR. In order to all whether the Police Station are informally distributed or not nearest neighborhood analysis was utilized which has shown that the distribution of Police Station with respect to population in Allahabad city is clustered than random settlement. This study recommends a uniform distribution of Police Station in Allahabad City.

“…Various studies in Nigeria indicated that, police agency is full of characteristics, such as low quality force, poor or inadequate working tools and unhygienic environment (Alemika & Chukwuma, 2003), resources management deficiencies (Okunola & Ojo 2012), and insufficient funding (Ladapo, 2012). Other major problems of the force as observed in a GIS urban Kano analysis include largely personnel inadequacies (Ahmed, et al, 2013).…”

The rate at which crimes skyrocket generally in Nigeria indicated a need of collaborative policing to manage the situation at hand. Despite this urgent need, many problems are perceived to be responsible for failure in community policing strategy in curbing urban Kano crimes. This research aimed at looking at these possible factors and how they are related to failure of the long awaited and envisaged success in crime management. Being a quantitative research, the questionnaires were administered on 400 sampling units who were purposively selected with 50 representing each of the eight local government areas that made up the study area. Analysis was made using VB-SEM-PLS Smart2.0M3 software. The results showed that inter agency problems (synergy), logistic problems, and political intervention as the independent variables possessed direct positive effects on lack of public confidence as the mediator while lack of police professional skills did not. However, all the four independent variables possessed a direct positive effects on failure of community policing as the dependent variable. As lack of public confidence mediate, interagency problem (synergy), logistic problems and political interference maintained indirect relationships with the failure of community policing while lack of police professional skills have not. Hence, to achieve efficient community policing, interagency problems should be managed, funds, adequate working tools should be provided and more personnel recruited. Similarly, acquisition of more professional skills should be one of the top priorities. Also, the policing system should not be politicised but should be allowed to take a natural course. These if maintained would restore the public confidence in the police, utilising which, community policing will be successful. Thus, this could only be achieved through collaborative efforts of both concerned authorities, NGOs, entertainment industry and the general public.
