ATTITUDE OF STUDENTS AND TEACHERS TOWARDS VOCATIONAL EDUCATION IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN OTA,OGUN STATE, NIGERIA
Vocational education is a vital tool for economic development. The Federal Government, in 2011,
launched the Senior Secondary Education Curriculum (SSEC) which requires that all senior secondary
school students be trained in one vocational subject. This study examines the attitudes of students
and teachers towards vocational education in secondary schools in Ado-Odo Local Government,
Ogun State, Nigeria. It aims to highlight the factors that affect and influence the attitudes of students
and teachers towards vocational training as well as identify ways through which these attitudes can be
improved. The study employs the use of questionnaires distributed to 200 students and 60 teachers in
four secondary schools in Adodo-Ota LGA. The results show that students and teachers recognize the
importance of vocational education. The study recommends that students be provided with modern
day equipment to encourage students’ engagement in vocational subjects. The curriculum for the
teaching of vocational subjects should be comprehensive, standardized and enforced in all secondary
schools to ensure that students acquire all the skills they need to practice the vocation(s). These will
improve vocational education and the attainment of its goals in secondary schools

An Overview of the Design Principles of Drinking Water Chlorination
The goal of drinking water chlorination is the inactivation of pathogenic organisms in water. It offers the advantage of producing residuals useful for the preservation of water quality in a distribution system. Basic key chlorination concepts include chlorine demand/decay, chlorine residuals, and CT disinfection. The application of these concepts required a good understanding of the hydraulic condition of the system. Important consideration is the determination of initial required chlorine dose. A demonstration model using a public school water supply scheme with an overhead tank is done. This incorporates the kinematic of Contact Time (CT) disinfection, and the application of a demand model for the determination of initial chlorine concentration/dose required. Optimal application of chlorine will prevent incidences of either an over-dose or under-doze which highlight the importance of this study. Keywords— chlorine demand, CT Disinfection, initial chlorine concentration, log removal value, residual concentration
Efficacy of Quasi Agro Binding Fibre on the Hybrid Composite Used in Advance Application
The choice for natural fibre obtained from agricultural products is on the rise
due to its solution to eco-friendly, environmental and improved mechanical
properties concerns. Its abundant availability, low cost, emission reduction and
adaptability to base material for composite make it a prime material for
selection. This review explores diverse perspectives to the future trend of agro
fibre in terms of the thermo-mechanical properties as it applies to advanced
application in building structures. It is important to investigate the
ecofriendliness of the products of composites from fibres in agricultural
wastes so as to achieve a green and sustainable environment. This will come
to fore by the combined efforts of both researchers and feedback from
building stakeholders

Trial of labour after a previous caesarean section delivery: a private hospital experience
Background: In an attempt to reduce the rising trend of caesarean
deliver worldwide, obstetrician now offer trial of labour more readily
to women who have had a caesarean section. Although trial of labour is
usually successful and safe, it may occasionally be associated with
severe morbidity and even mortality. In this report, we audited all
cases of trial of labour after a previous caesarean delivery in our
hospital. Method: A three year (2000 – 2003) prospective study
of all cases of trial of labour after one previous caesarean section at
the Havana Specialist Hospital Lagos. Results: Of the 1481 deliveries
in our hospital during the period, 179(11.9%) had previously been
delivered through caesarean section. While 29.3% (51) of the women with
previous caesarean delivery had elective caesarean section, 70.7% (123)
were allowed trial of labour. Eighty five (69.1%) women had successful
trial of labour. The failure rate was thus 30.9%. Cephalopelvic
disproportion and slow progress of labour was the main cause of
failure. Majority (58.8%) of the patients that achieved vaginal deliver
needed assistance in the form of vacuum delivery (40.0%), vacuum
deliver & episiotomy (30.0%), episiotomy alone (28.0%) and forceps
deliver (2.0%). When fetal and maternal outcome were compared between
emergency and elective caesarean section, it was only in Apgar score at
1 minute was there significant difference. One (0.8%) uterine rupture
occurred because of delayed consent and she was not among the eight
patients that had oxytocin augmentation of labour. Conclusion: In
countries where caesarean section are not readily acceptable,
flexibility within the frame work of good obstetric practice is the
desired goal. However labour in women with scarred uterus must be
conducted in institution that have facilities for emergency obstetric
services. This study has shown that trial of labour in patient with one
previous caesarean section is not only feasible but practicable and
oxytocin augmentation is safe when judiciously used
