“…A larger percentage of women own motorcycle (40.3%) compared to those who own car (5.09%), this is probably because several state governments have, in the past few years, promoted access to motorcycles (popularly called okada) by granting them as loans to some community groups and members of certain political parties and also because of bad road network in the rural areas [38]. [42] found out that the construction or rehabilitation of rural road was the major key to rural development. This intervention may also potentially usher in public and private transport, for example by making it more profitable as well as feasible to supply transportation services on roads that were previously either non-existent or not easily passable for vehicles.…”

Women are an important segment of the human population and appropriate investment in their welfare would be of great benefit to the individual, household, and community levels. There has been an increasing incidence of welfare deprivation among women in rural Nigeria. However, information on the link between asset ownership and welfare deprivation of women in rural Nigeria is scanty. Thus, the relationship between the level of asset ownership and welfare deprivation of women in rural Nigeria was investigated. Data on 18,869 women living in rural Nigeria were sourced from Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey 2013. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics, composite score analysis, fuzzy analysis and Instrumental Variable(IV) Tobit Regression at α0.05. A higher proportion of the rural women-owned physical assets such as mobile phone (68.7%) and radio (63.5%), while only 5.9% owned natural asset (land). Women in low-LAO, intermediate-LAO and high-LAO were 20.3%, 63.8% and 15.9%, respectively. Level of asset ownership (β=-0.31), age (β=-0.01), being a widow (β=0.04), being a female household head (β=-0.08), and Geo-Political Zone (North-East, β=0.04; South-East, β=-0.05; South-West, β=-0.07) explained welfare deprivation of women. A unit increase in the level of asset ownership led to 30.8% decrease in welfare deprivation. An increase in the level of asset ownership decreased welfare deprivation. Asset ownership had a positive influence on women’s welfare deprivation.

Assessment of stakeholders’ contributions to livestock development in Delta State, Nigeria: Rural infrastructure intervention

The study assessed the contributions of stakeholders to livestock development through provision of infrastructure to rural areas of Delta State, Nigeria. The objectives were to describe the socio-economic characteristics of respondents, appraise the role of external stakeholders in livestock development, verify any existing relationship between livestock development and rural development indicators and identify the challenges faced by respondents. A purposive and simple random sampling techniques were used to select the three major towns and 180 respondents. Data were collected by questionnaire and subjected to descriptive and inferential statistics. Result obtained showed that majority of the respondents were males (68.3%) with higher national diplomat (HND)/First degree (33.3%) and have a mean age of 42 years. The first four highest external stakeholders were skills training and entrepreneurship programme (94%), youth agricultural entrepreneurs programme (90.6%), job creation agency (89.4%) and FADAMA (80.0%) that promoted livestock development. A significant relationship was observed based on infrastructural contributions to livestock development (p < 0.05) among the variables: market, water project, market and roads. Serious challenges included high cost of feed facilities (mean = 3.69) and insufficient power supply (mean = 3.49). The study concluded that the more available the rural infrastructure intervention, the more developed the livestock sector. The study recommended that stakeholders should make their extension agent available to livestock farmers.

In the context of agricultural development, economic growth, and food security in Africa, examining the practice of land exchange holds significant relevance. This study analyses the practice of land exchange and its effect on farmers' performance in Norther Eastern Zone of Nigeria. A multi-stage sampling procedure was employed to select a sample of 400 rice farmers engaged in irrigation farming. The selected farmers participated in structured interviews, providing the necessary data for the study. Descriptive analysis (of the mean) revealed that farmers are engaged in land exchange (16.07%) using two methods: land exchange for agricultural use (or farming purposes) and land exchange for property. Using a logistic regression model, it was found that number of plots, decrease in distance among plots, practice of mechanization, decrease in production costs, and improvement of efficiency were factors influencing farmers to exchange land. The result also suggested that farmers exhibited a high level of technical efficiency, implying that there is room for further enhancement in efficiency through the adoption of advanced technologies and the optimal utilization of existing resources. The beta regression's results indicated that land development have a negative effect on technical efficiency, while household size, rented land, and hired labor have positive effects. However, it was found that the practice of land exchange did not affect the level of technical efficiency of rice farmers in the study area, because of the observed limited land market and the high level of crop diversification. Hence, policymakers are advised to define land use rights explicitly and encourage land transactions, such as renting among farmers, selling occupancy rights, and transferring leasehold rights. These measures aim to improve land efficiency and bolster the land market.
