ADVERSE EFFECTS OF CHEMICAL FUMIGATION ON TEACHERS AND LEARNERS HEALTH AND MICROBIAL PESTICIDE AS AN ALTERNATIVE
type: item
description: Fumigation is a pest control method that uses chemical pesticides, known as fumigants, to eliminate harmful organisms such as pests, weeds, insects, and microorganisms. It is commonly applied in farms, homes, offices, schools, churches, and mosques. While effective, improper use or prolonged exposure to chemical fumigants can pose serious health risks to humans and animals. An alternative method, biological fumigation, involves using natural substances derived from microbial metabolites or plant exudates to control pests and pathogens. This approach is more environmentally friendly and safer for both human and animal health. When properly regulated, fumigation helps prevent the spread of diseases in both people and crops. However, continuous use of chemical fumigants, especially in populated areas like schools, may result in adverse health effects among vulnerable groups such as teachers, students, and staff. This paper highlights the associated health hazards and stresses the need to replace chemical fumigants with microbial alternatives. It also emphasizes the importance of implementing strict safety regulations and training professionals in proper application. Promoting microbial fumigants as a sustainable solution is recommended to reduce health risks and minimize environmental impact.

Haematological Impacts of Total Aflatoxin and the Ameliorative Potentials of Allium sativum and Curcuma longa in Oreochromis niloticus
type: item
description: Abstract Aflatoxins, toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi such as Aspergillus flavus, pose significant threats to fish health and productivity in aquaculture. This study investigated the haematological and biochemical effects of total aflatoxin exposure and the potential ameliorative properties of two natural additives; garlic (Allium sativum) and turmeric (Curcuma longa) in Oreochromis niloticus. A 10-week feeding trial was conducted using eight dietary treatments including a control, aflatoxin-contaminated feed, and varying inclusion levels (20, 40, 60 g/kg) of garlic and turmeric. Aflatoxin contamination was induced by inoculating formulated feed with A. flavus, and total aflatoxin levels in the diets ranged from 2.59 to 25.43 µg/kg. Results revealed that fish exposed to contaminated diets without supplementation exhibited significant declines in key haematological indices, including haemoglobin (Hb), packed cell volume (PCV), red blood cell count (RBC), and total protein (TP), indicating systemic stress and impaired physiological function. However, diets supplemented with garlic and turmeric significantly mitigated these adverse effects. The highest haematological improvements were observed in groups receiving 60 g/kg of turmeric and garlic, with notable increases in Hb, WBC, PCV, and RBC levels, as well as improved liver enzyme activity and serum biochemistry markers.

RESPONSE OF PEPPER (Capsicum spp.) TO ORGANIC FERTILIZERS: GROWTH, YIELD, AND SOIL HEALTH IMPLICATIONS
type: item
description: This article evaluates the response of pepper plants to various organic fertilizers, including compost, cow dung, poultry manure, sheep manure and farmyard manure. Literature and experimental findings showed that organic management and amendments especially when combined with beneficial microorganisms like AMF or Trichoderma can match conventional yield levels and enhance fruit quality while improving soil health indices such as enzyme activity and nutrient cycling. Pepper plants (Capsicum spp.) respond positively to organic fertilizers, which include compost, animal manure, green manure, bone meal, and other natural soil amendments. Studies and field trials have shown that organic fertilizers significantly improve soil fertility, plant growth, fruit yield, and quality in pepper cultivation. The key benefits of using organic fertilizers in pepper cultivation include: Enhanced soil structure and microbial activities by improving soil aeration and water retention, promoting healthy root systems. Gradual nutrient release by decomposes slowly, providing a steady supply of essential nutrients like nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). Increased yield and fruit quality with organic inputs often exhibit better flavor, firmness, and nutrient content. Reduced dependence on synthetic inputs which may supports sustainable and eco-friendly farming. It was recommended that farmers should use well decomposed organic fertilizers to avoid phytotoxicity and ensure nutrient availability, applies composted manure or properly cured organic matter. Combine different organic sources such as blending compost, poultry manure, and green manure which may provide a more balanced nutrient profile. Apply according to soil needs by conducting soil tests to tailor fertilizer application based on nutrient deficiencies.

title: IMPACT OF TEACHERS’ PARTICIPATION IN TRAINING SCHEME, TEACHERS’ DISPOSITION AND YEARS OF TEACHING EXPERIENCE ON TEACHERS’ COMPETENCE IN THE TEACHING OF MATHEMATICS IN PUBLIC PRIMARY SCHOOLS IN ODEDA LGA, OGUN STATE
description: This study empirically quantified the impact of teachers’ participation in training programmes, teachers’ disposition and years of teaching experience on teachers’ competence in some public schools in Odeda Local Government Area, Ogun State. Twenty-four teachers in seven public primary schools participated in a 3-day training scheme as experimental group while six teachers of same class group served as control. Teachers competence level was measured using the Teachers’ Observational Rating Scale. Results showed the mean competence score of teachers in the training scheme (47.55) as significantly higher (p ≤ 0.05) than those in the control group (39.31), implying that the training scheme significantly and positively impacted on the teachers’ competence (F(1, 24) = 10.367, p < 0.05). The teachers’ disposition (F (1, 24) = 0.718, P = 0.405) and the teachers’ years of teaching experience (F(1,,24) = 1.511, P=0.241) had no significant effect on the teachers’ competence. The Partial Eta Square (2 ) of 0.302 implied that 30.2% of the variance experienced in competence in the teaching of mathematics was accounted for by the training scheme. The study identified the training scheme as a major determinant of competence among mathematics teachers in lower primary schools in Odeda Local Government Area.

BIOFUELS AS A SUBSTITUTE SOURCE OF ENERGY IN NIGERIA: CHALLENGES, IMPACT AND PROSPECTS
type: item
description: Achieving an affordable clean energy in accordance to the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 7) is a challenge in Nigeria and other African countries. Most of the currently used energy strategies are either not sustainable or poorly maintained. Nigeria is a major exporter of fossil fuel but currently faced with serious energy crisis, which necessitates the search for a sustainable renewable form of energy as substitute to fossil fuel in order to meet the SDG 7 target. Biofuel has been recognised as a sustainable form of renewable and alternative energy in Nigeria with sugarcane, cassava, plant seed and waste materials as possible feedstock for the production. The feedstocks are mostly obtainable and available nearly everywhere in Nigeria with the likelihood of maximizing them to drive social and economic growth to people and the nation at large. Using biofuel as renewable and alternative source of energy also has some challenges, impact and prospects. The challenges include social, economic, environmental and technical issues that arise from biofuel production and use. The social and economic issues include the ‘food versus fuel’ debate and the need to develop responsible policies and economic instruments to ensure sustainable biofuel production. The environmental concerns include deforestation, biodiversity loss and soil erosion. The impact of biofuel production is generally about the fewer emissions of greenhouse gases when burned in an engine and are generally considered carbon-neutral fuels as the carbon they emit has been captured from the atmosphere by the crops used in biofuel production. The prospects of biofuel as substitute source of energy in Nigeria are enormous; it will not only boost the economic development of Nigeria but will also ensure energy security. It was recommended that government should diversify it sources of energy from fossil fuel to biofuel as substitute and at the same time maximized her biomass resources for socio-economic growth.
