Item Agricultural Credit Guarantee Scheme and Food Security in Nigeria(Department of Environmental Studies, 2017) Ijaiya, M.A.; Abdulraheem, A.; Ijaiya, M.A.; Abdullahi, Ibrahim BelloUsing a time subscript and a difference-in-difference estimator that describes the changes in food crops as a function of changes in ACGS, this paper examines the influence of changes in ACGS loan on food crops output over the years. The result shows that only the initial level of ACGS on food crops has helped moved food security more than the changes experience in recent time. Thus, government should put in place an effective legislation that would establish a reliable ground rules for consistent and equitable application of ACGS and stable macroeconomic policies that would sustained it.Item Clinical profile of patients with uterine rupture at a tertiary facility in North Central Nigeria.(College of Health Sciences, University of Port Harcourt, 2019-04) Adewale, F.B; Adeniran, A.S; Ijaiya, M.A.Background: Uterine rupture is a major obstetric emergency and an important cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Aim: To determine the prevalence, clinical presentation, management options and pregnancy outcomes following uterine rupture. Methods: It is a 5‑year, descriptive, retrospective study of parturients who had uterine rupture between 1 January 2011 and 31 December, 2015, at Federal Medical Centre, Bida, North Central Nigeria. The case files of all parturients who had uterine rupture during this period were retrieved from the Medical Records department, and relevant information including maternal age, risk factors for uterine rupture, presenting symptoms, site of rupture and the definitive treatment as well as maternal and neonatal outcome using a data collection sheet was entered into a computer with SPSS version 20.0, which was also used for the analysis. Results: The prevalence of uterine rupture was 1 in 202 deliveries (48/9,718); of these, 24 (50.0%) were aged 36–40 years and 28 (58.3%) were grandmultipara (parity ≥5); 42 (87.5%) cases had previous uterine scar, whereas 15 (31.3%) had labour augmentation with oxytocin while attempting vaginal birth after caesarean section. The common presenting complaints were intrapartum vaginal bleeding (24; 50%) and abdominal pain (10; 20.8%). The most common site of rupture was anterolateral (24; 50.0%), while the most common surgical intervention was uterine repair with bilateral tubal ligation (30; 62.5%). The case fatality rate was 18.8% (9/48), neonatal survival rate was 12.5% (6/48) and perinatal mortality rate was 875/1000 deliveries (42/48). Conclusion: Uterine rupture remains an important cause of poor pregnancy outcomes in low‑income settings. Previous caesarean delivery is the most common risk factor; women attempting vaginal birth after caesarean delivery should be managed by skilled health personnel in facilities with provision for emergency surgical intervention.Item The Determinants of Utilization of Insecticide Treated Nets Among Pregnant Women Attending Antenatal Clinic at University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Nigeria(Biomedical Science Direct Publication, 2012) Omokanye, Lukman O.; Saidu, R.; Olatinwo, Abdulwaheed O.; Jimoh, A.A.G.; Salaudeen, A.G.; Balogun, O.R; Ijaiya, M.A.; Panti, Abubakar A.Background and Objective: Malaria remains a disease of public health importance in the developing countries. The purpose of this study was to determine factors influencing the utilization of ITNs among pregnant women attending antenatal clinic at the UITH, Ilorin. Materials and Methods: This study was a cross-sectional survey of pregnant women carried out in the antenatal clinic of UITH. The subjects were selected at booking and administered questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Epi-Info software version 3.4.1 of computer. Results: The findings were that 85.2% knew about ITNs and 29.6% did not know where to obtain ITNs. About 74% did not know the cost of ITNs, and 81.5% and 79.8% were of the opinion that ITNs are used to protect against mosquito bites and effective in prevention of malaria respectively. One third (33.7%) of respondents had ever used ITNs. The reasons for non-utilization of ITNs were among others, lack of knowledge, lack of interest, unavailability and use of other methods of prevention. About half of ITNs users used it every day and only 7.9% have been using it for over three years. Statistical analysis showed that marital status, parity, and education had significant influence on utilization of ITNs, where as age and gestational age at booking did not. Conclusion: ITNs coverage is abysmally low among the most vulnerable group. There is need for government to increase enlightenment campaign and intensify advertisement on media that would inform and educate individuals about the usefulness of ITNsItem Female adolescents and the future of female genital mutilation/ cutting: A report from an endemic area.(Makerere University, Uganda, 2021-12) Ezeoke, GG; Adeniran, AS; Adesina, K.T; Fawole, A.A; Ijaiya, M.A.; Olarinoye, AOAbstract Background: Despite collaborative efforts aimed at its eradication, Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) continues in endemic areas. Objective: To evaluate the experience and preparedness of female adolescents to protect their future daughters from FGM/C. Methods: A cross-sectional survey involving adolescent secondary school girls in North Central Nigeria. Participants were secondary school students who completed the study’s self-administered questionnaire after informed parental or participant’s consent. Data management was with SPSS 20.0 (IBM, USA), P-value <0.05 was significant. Results: There were 2000 participants aged 13-19 years (mean 15.56±1.75), prevalence of FGM/C was 35.0%, awareness was 86.1%, mutilation was performed between infancy and eight years of age (mean 3.85±3.24 years), 644(32.2%) desire to mutilate their future daughters, 722(36.1%) expressed support for FGM/C and 63.1% of victims of FM/C reported adverse post-mutilation experiences. Support for FGM/C was associated with low social class (P0.0010), opinion that FGM/C has benefit (P0.001) and desire to mutilate future daughters (P0.001) while awareness of efforts to eradicate FMG/C was 813(40.7%). Conclusion: FGM/C remains prevalent with potential support for its continuation among female adolescents despite reported adverse post-mutilation experiences. The multi-pronged approach to eradicate FGM/C should prioritize re-orientation for adolescent girls, rehabilitation of mutilated girls and girl child formal education.Item Hysterectomy at University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Nigeria: a ten year review(SAME ventures, 2012) Omokanye, Lukman O.; Saidu, R.; Aboyeji, P.A.; Balogun, O.R; Ijaiya, M.A.; Jimoh, A.A.GItem Microfinance and Mortgage Financing in Nigeria(Indian Institute of Economics, 2014-09) Ijaiya, M.A.; Lawal, W.A.; Olubunmi Florence, OsemeneHousing sector plays a critical role in a country's welfare than is always recognized, because it directly affects not only the wellbeing of the citizenry but also the performance of other sectors of the economy.

Interactions between these infections and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) synergize and may cause adverse pregnancy outcomes and reverse the gains of prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV. Objectives: The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of candidiasis, trichomoniasis, gonococcal infection, syphilis, and bacterial vaginosis in HIV pregnant women and compare with HIV negative controls. Materials and Methods: A case‑control study was conducted during the period from April to December 2010 at the Department of Obstetrics/Gynecology of University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital and three Primary Health Centers in Ilorin. A total of 160 HIV positive pregnant women attending antenatal clinics were recruited, along with the same number of HIV negative matched controls. A structured proforma was used to collect information from patients, vaginal examination was performed and samples were taken from the endocervix and the posterior vaginal fornix with swab sticks. Results: STIs were recovered from 142 women, giving overall prevalence of 44.4%. HIV infected women had a higher prevalence (60%) compared to uninfected (28.8%). The most prevalent STI was vaginal candidiasis (29.1%), followed by bacterial vaginosis (9.7%), and trichomoniasis (5.6%). The prevalence of candidiasis, bacterial vaginosis, and trichomoniasis was higher among HIV positive pregnant women compared to HIV negative controls (P < 0.05). No woman had syphilis or gonorrhea. Conclusion: The prevalence of candidiasis, bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis was higher in HIV infected pregnant women compared to uninfected. Routine screening of HIV infected pregnant women for these organisms is advocated.Item Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS)(Nigerian Fertility Society, 2013) Omokanye, Lukman O.; Jimoh, A.A.G; Saidu, R.; Balogun, O.R; Ijaiya, M.A.; Raji, H.A.; Okesina, S.Item Spatial Distribution of Commercial Banks in Ilorin Metropolis, Kwara State, Nigeria(Department of Geography and Planning, Kogi State University, 2011) Abdullahi, Ibrahim Bello; Ijaiya, M.A.; Abdulraheem, A.; Abdulkadir, R.I.; Ibrahim, R.O.The spatial distribution of banks in any geographic entity determines the level of accessibility to its services by the public. This study examined the pattern of banks distribution in lIorin metropolis. Field survey was employed in determining the number or available commercial hanks and their respective distances between each other. The spatial analysis technique such as the nearest neighbour analysis as used ascertain the degree of clustering, density and the average distance taken to access these services. The study revealed that about 9% of the total number of banks arc situated in the Central Business District which exhibited a very a high degree of clustering (Rn = 0.59). This cased interbank interactions within the CBD as the average interbank distance is 0.37kl11 and with a little measure of cost to customers who reside outside the CBD. It also discovercd that a branch of U.B.A. PLC 'was the only bank located in interior (traditional/unbanked) of Ilorin metropolis. Based on this, it was recommended that banking services should be extended to the traditional settlement areas where indigenes reside to encourage and improve their banking culture.Item Spatial Distribution of Commercial Banks in Ilorin Metropolis, Kwara State, Nigeria(Department of Geography and Planning, Kogi State University, 2011) Abdullahi, I.B.; Ijaiya, M.A.; Abdulraheem, A.; Abdulkadir, Rihanat Idowu; Ibrahim, R.O.The spatial distribution of banks in any geographic entity determines the level of accessibility to its services by the public. This study examined the pattern of banks distribution in Ilorin metropolis. Field survey was employed in determining the number of available commercial banks and their respective distances between each other. The spatial analysis technique such as the nearest neighbour analysis as used ascertain the degree of clustering, density and the average distance taken to access these services. The study revealed that about 96 of the total number of banks are situated in the Central Business District which exhibited a very a high degree of clustering (Rn = 0.59). This eased interbank interactions within the CBD as the average interbank distance is 0.37km and with a little measure of cost to customers who reside outside the CBD. It also discovered that a branch of UB.A. PLC was the only bank located in interior (traditional/unbanked) of Ilorin metropolis. Based on this, it was recommended that banking services should be extended to the traditional settlement areas where indigenes reside to encourage and improve their banking culture.Item Sperm Bank Scheme And Surrogacy Institution;-willingness And Utilization Of Assisted Reproductive Technology Among Women Of Reproductive Age Group In Ilorin. Nigeria(Nigerian Fertility Society, 2013) Jimoh, A.A.G.; Saka, M.J.; Saidu, R.; Salaudeen, A.G.; Saka, A.O.; Raji, H.A.; Yahaya, L.A.; Balogun, O.R.; Ijaiya, M.A.; Omokanye, Lukman O.; Dare, JItem Spousal participation during pregnancy and delivery in Ilorin, Nigeria.(Zambia Medical Association, 2019) Adeniran, AS; Fawole, A.A; Adesina, K.T; Aboyeji, A.P; Balogun, OR; Ijaiya, M.A.Background: The potential benefits of the active involvement of men in antenatal and intrapartum events remain largely unexplored in low-resource countries despite the reported benefits from high income areas. Aim: To evaluate male partners' attitudes and experience on their level of involvement during pregnancy, labour and delivery. Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted at four health facilities in North Central Nigeria from 1st February to 30th July 2017. Participants were male partners of women who were pregnant during the study period; recruitment was after informed consent, data management was with SPSS (version 21.0); p <0.05 was significant. Results: The male partners were aged 23 to 60 years (mean 35.96±6.76), 173 (69.2%) accompanied the partner to antenatal clinic and 150(60.0%) to ultrasound scan examination. The commonest hindrance to men's antenatal participation was commuter marriage (29; 37.7%); 171(68.4%) participants supported the presence of the man at delivery while 32(40.5%) opined that men may disturb the health provider during delivery. Also, 137(54.8%) men have requested to be present at delivery previously while 46(33.6%) were obliged among those obliged, 25(54.3%) described the experience as satisfactory while 28(60.9%) intend to be present at future deliveries. In all, 212(84.8%) suggested antepartum education classes for male partners, 202(80.8%) intend to attend such classes while 143(57.2%) suggested health facility restructuring to facilitate men's participation. Conclusion: Men are increasingly desirous of active participation at antenatal and intrapartum events; increasing male partner education, male-friendly facility infrastructures and health providers' cooperation will encourage them to fulfil these roles.Item Unilateral post-tuberculosis lung destruction and massive haemoptysis in pregnancy with successful outcome.(Faculty of Medicine, Alexandria University, Egypt., 2015-04) Adeniran, AS; Ijaiya, M.A.; Fawibe, AE; Adeoye, PO; Abdulkadri, ZAPost-tuberculosis destroyed lung is a fatal complication of pulmonary tuberculosis which can manifest with severe life-threatening haemoptysis. Its occurrence during pregnancy is rare and challenging because of the significant risk to both the mother and the foetus. We present an unbooked 36 year old G6P4 +1 (4 alive) woman who presented with chronic cough, massive haemoptysis and multiple pregnancy (twin) at 35 week gestation. She had completed anti-tuberculosis treatment twice at and over nine years prior to presentation. On evaluation, there were clinical and radiological evidences of unilateral (right) destroyed lung but no evidence of active tuberculosis; resuscitation was with antibiotics, blood transfusion and oxygen therapy followed by an emergency caesarean delivery due to significant maternal compromise. The symptoms resolved following antibiotic therapy and she was subsequently discharged home. Post-tuberculosis destroyed lung is a fatal uncommon condition that may present during pregnancy and requires a multi-disciplinary specialist care to ensure good maternal and foetal outcome
