Mineral chemistry and P-T conditions of incipient Charnockite around Ikare, Southwestern Nigeria
Oyeshomo AV, Bolarinwa AT, Altenberger U, Harlov DE, Olayemi SO, Ajila TF
Charnockites could be of magmatic, metamorphic, or metasomatic origin and formed in diverse geotectonic settings. Previous works on incipient charnockitic rocks outcropping around Ikare, southwestern Nigeria, were inconclusive due to lack of micro-chemical data for pressure-temperature estimation.

Geotechnical characteristics of soils stabilized with lime-Rice Husk Ash for road construction in Nigeria Southwestern states
Faluyi Sunday Olubunmi, Amu Olugbenga Oludolapo, Adekanmi Jonathan Segun
The state of roads in southwestern Nigeria is deplorable. Most of them are not motorable due to pavement failure; this necessitates an investigation into determining the suitability of the underlying soil courses if stabilized with lime-Rice Husk Ash (RHA) mixtures

Interpretation of hydrochemical data in selected parts of Warri, Southern Nigeria using health risk assessment and heavy metal index
Eyankware MO, Akakuru OC, Inoni OE, Osisanya WO, Ukor KP, Umuokoro G
Groundwater quality assessment is crucial for ensuring public health and sustainable water resource management. Health risk assessment evaluates health hazards from contaminated groundwater, guiding protective measures; also, heavy metal indices quantify contamination, aiding pollution assessment and regulatory compliance.
