In recent times, increasing attention among the academics and political class is directed at issues of energy security. Energy security has assumed a global phenomenon which stands at the center of global efforts (of governments, non-governmental organizations, and individuals) and the survival of humanity. The increasing attention has produced a n...
Nigeria is among the top three countries with the largest electricity deficits in the world, paradoxically, Nigeria has become legendary for fits and starts in domestic electric power supply to homes of her citizens. Community, state and national interventions had little impact. This study looks at citizen initiatives to attain domestic energy secu...

One of the major challenges of Akure in the past two decades is the uncoordinated residential density development. This paper examined this haphazard development by mapping out the housing density mix in selected residential neighbourhoods in the city with a view to developing an e-land pricing model for its effective land management therein. The s...
This paper assesses dynamics of e-Land pricing mechanism for managing residential densities in a medium sized city in South West, Nigeria. Objectives of the research include assessment of e-land pricing interface, land price prediction and e-land pricing reform among others. Total number of buildings in the selected residential estates was counted...
Land pricing has produced a new order of residential density arrangement in Nigeria urban centres. There is a noticeable variation in land prices with the levels of residential density distribution in Akure, Nigeria. The research looked at the emergent residential density pattern in Akure, as a result of the pricing profile of land especially at th...
This paper reports the locational factors impacting local rice (Igbemo rice) marketing in Ekiti State, Nigeria in the context of African regional requirements for food security and economic development. Seventeen (17) markets were randomly selected in the study region in six (6) Local Government Areas (LGAs). Two hundred and ninety one (291) respon...
Most governments in developing countries (DCs) now pay greater attention to food security, for self-reliance in certain staple food, particularly rice. This paper, therefore, considers the promotion of rice production in a growing town in Ekiti State, Nigeria. Two hundred and sixty four dwellers were randomly selected in the existing 21 residential...
This paper reports the important factors influencing rice production in Igbemo-Ekiti region of Nigeria. It does so in the context of African Regional Requirement for Food Security and Economic Development (ARFSED). One hundred and forty six (146) respondents were selected from the twenty-one (21) residential quarters of the region, through proporti...

... Orazulike, (2013) had observed that, due to incessant power electricity failure, about 70% of the industries in Nigeria are dead, 10% are dying and 20% are trying to survive. Despite endemic blackouts, customers (users of domestic energy) are billed for services not rendered; this has partially resulted into widespread vandalism of power theft in Nigeria, coupled with the problem of payment of electricity bill (Okosun, et al, 2021). However, there are only 14 generating stations in Nigeria (3 hydro and 11 thermal stations). ...
... Nigeria, with a population of nearly 200 million people, now has a plethora of cities characterized by leap-frog residential development in the absence of clear-cut density divisions. This trend is caused in part by a failure of planning regulations (Fasakin et al., 2019). According to the physical observation of this study, some residential buildings in Akure city are in a state of housing decay. ...

... In recent times, there is a revitalisation of interest in the spatial preferences of households in choosing residential locations within an urban environment (Fakunle et al., 2018). Moreover, studies have shown that residential neighbourhoods exist in different patterns (Fasakin, 2018). Furthermore, studies have revealed that there are gross inequalities in the quality of residential housing units (Ogu, 2002;Morenikeji et al., 2017;Thomas & Hassan, 2018;Ezeanah, 2020). ...

... They found that education, activity in farmer groups, access to alternative income, land area, and frequency of attending counseling significantly influence adoption and productivity. (Basorun & Fasakin, 2012) conducted research on food security in Nigeria.

... This is largely due to the mode of rice processing by the local producers. A study conducted by [8] showed that the status of rice processors, expenditure on processing, skill level of the farmers and storage facilities available are the key significant factors affecting the mode of rice processing in Igbemo-Ekiti. Presently there is no standard method of producing Igbemo rice. ...
