... This research was carried out on Maiduguri and Suleja polluted soil samples collected, both in Northern Nigeria.

This dynamic population of Maiduguri suggest its demand for petroleum product for transportation and fueling of electricity generating sets for both domestic and industrial needs by the residents. ...
This study’s goals were to identify the components of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soil samples polluted with petroleum and to ascertain how temperature affected the removal of PAHs pollutants from petroleum-contaminated soil. The concentration of contaminants in the soil samples decreased from 46.22-12.07 ppm to 77.01-30.06 ppm at a temperature increase of 20–160°C, as shown by the results of this study, which are also supported by the percentage removal efficiencies of 22.22–79.69% and 32.90–73.81% for samples M and S, respectively. It was further discovered that 160℃ was the ideal temperature range for soil washing to eliminate the pollutants. High removal efficiency values demonstrated the efficacy of the soil washing approach in removing pollutants with high PAH concentrations. This information can help in the creation of more successful and affordable soil remediation techniques.

Housing challenge is no doubt among the greatest urbanization problems faced by most cities in the developing world. The nature and type of accommodation an individual lives in, indicates his ranking in the society. The focal point of this study, is to examine the housing challenges in Maiduguri urban, Borno State, Nigeria. The study adopted survey method of research through observation, questionnaire schedule and interviews with heads of households. A sample size of 200 respondents was purposively selected for this study while the simple random sampling method was employed in the selection of the four districts used in data collection. 200 questionnaires were randomly administered at an interval of 10 houses. Results indicated that majority of residents are tenants and are unhappy with the unhealthy environment they live in. The study recommended establishment of satellite towns, total removal of bottle necks in land acquisition, development of infrastructure to attract private developers amongst others.
Young people need to be recognized and supported to play a major role as agents of peace. The society needs to partner with them to form a sine qua non (an essential condition) in promoting the global agenda for youth involvement in sustainable peace. Peacebuilding is broadly defined as an ‘action to identify and support structures which tends to strengthen and solidify peace in order to avoid a relapse into conflict.’ Therefore, peacebuilding is directed towards the eradication of the root causes of violence and is necessarily a multifaceted and multidimensional project that involves political, legal, economic, social, religious and cultural institutions and security practices, which are understood as complementary and mutually reinforcing. This paper examines how the involvement of youths in the peacebuilding process can promote sustainable peace in Maiduguri, Borno State, as a result of the Boko Haram conflict to avoid future occurrences of such conflict. The objective of the study is to explore the role Maiduguri youths can play in building sustainable and long-term peace in Maiduguri, Borno State as a critical stakeholder. The study employs the multidimensional research method also as a peer-review paper, the secondary source of data was used. The finding reveals that youth are critical stakeholders in peacebuilding and should be involved at all stages of the peace process. The study recommends that the Borno State Government should formulate policies and programs that are directed towards youth’s engagement in governance, address unemployment problem etc. since participatory democracy, youth empowerment, and social wellbeing are critical drivers of sustainable development, peace and security.
