“…The built up areas comprises mainly of residential, utility, commercial, religious and educational structures [55]. This area comprises of diverse floras like orange, mango trees, coconut and palm trees, cocoyam, maize water leaf, bitter leaf, scent leaf plants and shrubs [56], which serve as food options for the locals.…”

During emergency response to oil spills incident accurate information is required in order to reduce the risk associated with oil spill disasters. This study focuses on Environmental Sensitivity mapping for sustainable environmental clean-up and contingency planning along the 3.0 km of AGIP pipeline at Asemoku in Delta State, Nigeria. Geographic information systems (GIS) techniques were used to create an Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) map in the study area. A 2018 Google Earth Satellite imagery of the study area was downloaded, and landuse/cover classification scheme comprising of Vegetation, Farmland, Water Body, Wetland, built up area and Bare Surface was adopted. Existing categorization, ranking and classification of the inland habitat were adopted and used to create a Landuse/cover Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) map, while the buffer zones of 100 m, 200 m, 300 m and 400 m were adopted. In the ArcGIS 10.8 environment, the landuse/cover map was generated and buffer distances of 100 m, 200 m, 300 m and 400 m were created on the landuse/cover map to ascertain the features that are vulnerable and could be at risk in the event of oil spill. This study established that the Natural Vegetation areas are the most vulnerable and sensitive feature as a result of their size along the created buffer zones. Findings from this study thus provide insight into the most sensitive land-use/land-cover, in the event of a spill or emergency oil spill clean-up response.

“…In Africa, the use of plant species for medicinal (herbalism, phytomedicine, or phytotherapy) purposes is very common. Most indigenous communities possess detailed knowledge of plant species used for medicine, food, nutrition security (Olowo et al 2022;Dubale et al 2023;Tamene et al 2023), and rituals. For example, indigenous people with ethnobotanical knowledge are called 'abibiduro' in Ghana; South Africans call it 'sangoma' or 'inyanga'; in Tanzania, it is 'shaman' or 'mugwenu'; 'nga:nga' or 'godobor' in Zambia; 'shaman' or 'laibon' in Kenya, and 'tilizat', 'dibia', or 'boka' in Nigeria.…”

“…Regarding advances on the isolation of flavonoids from Irvingia species, a few flavonoids have been previously separated and characterized. These includes five flavonols [kaempferol 3-O-glucoside (6), quercetin 3-O-rhamnoside (7), rhamnetin (8) (from seeds) [26], quercetrin (9), kaempferol (10) (from stem bark) [27]] and two flavones [diosmetin (11) [28] and apigenin (12)] [27] from the seeds and stem bark, respectively (Table 2).…”

“…In Nigeria, Irvingia tenuinucleata is also called Bush mango or Oro, and its fruits and bark have been used traditionally to treat diarrhea, scabies, toothache, yellow fever, inflammation, and diabetes. Irvingia gabonensis has also been indicated for the treatment of dysentery in this country [10]. In Laos, the bark or wood is grilled on fire, boiled in salty water, and drunk to obtain relief from various diseases [9,41] (Table 9).…”

Plants belonging to the genus Irvingia are widespread across the African and Southeast Asian regions of the world. Irvingia gabonensis, Irvingia malayana, and Irvingia grandifolia are among the commonly used species in ethnomedicine, especially in Africa. Fever, scabies, toothache, inflammation, and liver and gastrointestinal disorders are among the pathological conditions that are reverted by Irvingia plants upon traditional preparations. Modern pharmacological investigations have substantiated the ethnomedicinal uses of Irvingia spp. Reports on the phytochemical analysis of Irvingia plants have revealed the presence of a number of secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, phenolic compounds, tannins, saponins, and alkaloids. Based on the foregoing, the present study provides a comprehensive evaluation of reports on the ethnomedicinal use, phytochemistry, pharmacology, and toxicity of plants from the genus Irvingia. Relevant information on Irvingia plants was mostly obtained from major scientific databases from their inception until July 2023. As a result, more than forty compounds have been identified in Irvingia spp., proving the abundance of secondary metabolites in these plants. Reports have pointed out modern pharmacological activities such as antiprotozoal, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective activities. The present study provides more insights for the successful utilization of Irvingia plants and may guide further research on their therapeutic potential in the treatment of various diseases.
