“…This reduction could be attributed to an increase in human activities (which of course includes oil theft and its attendant oil spill) in the study area. This was agrees with Okude andAdemiluyi (2006), andOmodanisi (2013).…”

“…However, unlike the other regions which have mapped weather health-response plans [49] [50], Nigeria does not (as at the period of this paper) have a documented plan or any infrastructure to respond to extreme weather events, other than the National Emergency Management Agency, that has often been criticized for its inefficiency [51]. Many reports have indicated that Nigeria, like most developing countries are not prepared for the challenge of extreme climate and climate change, especially because of poor technology and poor resource allocation [30] [32] [52] in a study of the assessment of the millennium development goal scores of Ondo State (in the southwest Nigeria) indicated that most states in Nigeria will poorly perform in the areas of sanitation, water supply and health.…”

It also examines the responses from 3600 sample population from tertiary institutions across Nigeria. Results indicated thermal stress in Nigeria, and showed that both heat and cold stress varied temporally and spatially (1200 -1500 Local Standard Time, LST as the most thermally uncomfortable period of the day, while before 0900 and around 2100 LST were more comfortable). The study showed that judgment on climate issues were often beclouded by religious or ignorant sentiments. Efficient coping strategies for thermal stress are generally lacking, being limited by poor education, financial capacity and inadequate government commitment to cater for the health effects of extreme climate conditions. The study concluded that Nigeria, which exemplifies many developing countries, is not yet prepared for the effect of future climate change. The study recommends climate education, improves health schemes for climate-related morbidity and improves greening of the urban environment.

This study analyzed trend and examined the factors responsible for urban sprawl in Akure with a view to develop a user-friendly geospatial database for monitoring urban sprawl in the study area. Medium resolution satellite imageries derived from Landsat (TM) and (ETM+) comprising of four dates (1986, 1991, 2002 and 2011) were analyzed. The results revealed that built-up area increased rapidly by 43.31% from 5857.54 hectares in 1986 to 8394.21 hectares in 1991. It further increased by 72.02% from 8762.76 hectares to 15073.7 hectares in 2011. Field study conducted in 2013 involved in-depth interviews and questionnaires to stakeholders and residence respectively. The analysis showed that there was a weak negative relationship (r = −0.189, p < 0.01) between gender and "house ownership", a weak positive relationship (r = 0.343, p < 0.01) between marital status and "house ownership" and a weak negative relationship (r = −0.159, p < 0.05) between "number of children" and "house ownership" in the sprawl location. Geo-spatial database modeled was tested by subjecting it to spatial analysis to show its capability to answer question pertaining to all the entities of the database. The study concluded that urban sprawl increased and if not reversed, might constitute greater social and environmental problems in the future.
