"This paper criticises the selection of seven new towns as growth centre in Rivers State. However, based upon financial constraint and other variables, it suggested only two locations suitable for growth centres. These centres are integrated with rural development policies to function as alternative destinations for rural migrants to the state capital city and to strengthen the service hierarchies in the rural region. The general arguments are illustrated with a case study of Rivers State of Nigeria."

"This paper undertakes an analysis of intra-urban variations in homeownership rates, using data drawn from the metropolitan area of Ibadan, Nigeria. The spatial pattern depicted revealed that homeownership rates roughly coincide with the pattern of the city's historical development. Furtheremore, the empirical analysis based on a multiple regression model revealed that the stage in family life cycle, availability of open space for futher residential development, the number of residential plots provided by public planning agencies and the section of the city in which the census tract is located were the key determinants of homewonership rates."

"The search for appropriate methods for valuing natural resources and monetising externalities is a pressing problem facing many governments, particularly those of the developing countries. While the Nigerian government allocates 2% of its annual gross income for ecological damage restitution (The Ecological Fund), experiences arising from incessant disputes in the oil producing areas, fishing sites, increasing incidence of soil erosion and flooding and other environmental problems, all point to the need to supplement the Ecological Fund with money from other sources. This paper focusses on the use of the willingness-to-pay (WTP) approach for determining the amount of money that people in selected large-scale irrigation and dam project areas in the Sudano-Sahelian zone of Nigeria are willing to forego for the sake of environmental protection in the watersehd. After a general description of the problems and approaches to valuing and monetising environmenal resources and their protection, the details of the study findings and policy implications are discussed."
