Abstract

Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) are essential components of public health, particularly in urban areas facing rapid population growth and infrastructural challenges. Inadequate WASH services contribute significantly to the burden of disease, environmental degradation, and overall poor quality of life. The study adopted a mixed-method research design to assess integrated Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) practices in Onitsha Urban Area, Anambra State, Nigeria. Onitsha, a major commercial hub, experiences rapid urbanization and infrastructural strain. The study area’s geography, population growth, climate, geology, and economic activities were considered in evaluating WASH services. A sample of 400 residents from Federal Housing Estate was selected using Taro Yamane’s formula. Data were collected via structured questionnaires and field inspections, with instrument reliability confirmed through a pilot study. Analysis involved two-way ANOVA and Principal Component Analysis to identify key factors contributing to poor WASH conditions. Based on the findings, the demographic analysis of (400) respondents showed age distribution as follows: (17%) were 18–28, (28%) aged 29–39, (36%) aged 40–50, and (19%) above 50. Educationally, (8%) had no formal education, (20%) completed primary, (48%) had secondary, and (24%) attained tertiary education. Ethnic composition was largely Igbo at (90.15%), followed by Hausa (3%), Yoruba (1.85%), and others (5%). Household sizes showed (38%) had 1–3 children, (42%) had 4–6, (16%) had 7–9, and (4%) had more than 9. WASH practices revealed strong agreement on clean water prioritization, handwashing, and sanitation, while disagreements emerged on issues like pipe expansion and sustainable water systems. The study highlights the need for integrated policy action, community sensitization, and investment in WASH infrastructure to improve public health outcomes in Onitsha.

Abstract

Nigeria’s economy continues to face structural challenges such as low productivity, inadequate infrastructure, and limited diversification beyond oil. In this context, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has emerged as a potential driver of economic transformation, offering new opportunities for growth, innovation, and competitiveness. The study population comprised 75 people, including 25 UBA Magadisu staff and 50 ATM cardholders. Using stratified random sampling through a hat-drawn method, 20 staff and 34 customers were selected, following Ndagi’s guideline for small populations. Data was sourced from questionnaires (primary) and internet documents (secondary). The questionnaire’s validity was ensured through supervisor review and reliability tested with a pilot study of 10 GTB staff. Data collection was facilitated by the HR manager, with respondents given five days to complete the instrument. Analysis employed mean scores for Likert responses, percentages for demographics, and chi-square to test significance. The results revealed a fairly balanced gender distribution with slightly more females than males, while the majority of respondents were within the 31–50 years age range. Findings showed strong support for the importance of ICT in Nigeria’s economy, with many agreeing that it contributes to growth and development. ICT awareness was also perceived as high, though doubts remained about its usefulness across all economic sectors. Chi-square analysis confirmed ICT’s significant contribution to Nigeria’s economic development. The study concludes that ICT is a transformative driver of progress in Nigeria, but its full potential can only be realized through enhanced awareness, equitable accessibility, and integration across sectors.

Abstract

Cakes are widely consumed bakery products typically made from wheat flour, yet dependence on imported wheat can create economic and nutritional challenges in many developing countries. This study evaluated the acceptability and shelf life of cakes produced from composite flours based on wheat, cocoyam, plantain, and Bambara nut (WCPB1–WCPB6) compared with 100% wheat flour (WF) as control. Cakes were prepared and evaluated by 15 panelists using a 9-point hedonic scale, and shelf life attributes were monitored over 20 days at 4-day intervals. All samples were highly acceptable during the initial storage period, and sensory scores generally remained within the acceptable range throughout storage, with WF tending to receive the highest ratings. Statistical analysis showed significant differences in taste among formulations at later storage times (p ≤ 0.05), whereas other sensory attributes were largely comparable. Although quality declined and mold growth appeared after prolonged storage, several composite-flour cakes remained above the sensory cut-off for acceptability at day 20. These findings indicate that cocoyam, plantain, and Bambara nut composite flours can partially substitute wheat in cake production without compromising product quality, while supporting the utilization of indigenous crops and contributing to food and nutrition security.
