Antihelmintic and anticoccidial effects of zingiber officinale roscoe fortified diets fed yankasa rams
(Fundación CIPAV, Cali, Colombia, 2017) Adeniji, S. A.; Adediran, O. A.; Ososanya, T. O.; Uwalaka, E. C.
Parasitic burden results in sub-optimal ruminant livestock production. Synthetic coccidiostats and antihelminthes have been reported to induce resistance and leave residues in the carcass of animals with serious health implications. Although ginger rhizome is a potential alternative to coccidiostats and antihelminthes, its use has not been properly documented. In this study, ginger rhizome was processed into powder and added to a concentrate diet at 0g/kg (G1), 5g/kg (G2), 10g/kg (G3), 15g/kg (G4) and 20g/kg (G5). In a completely randomized design, twenty five pubertal Yankasa rams were allotted to the five dietary treatments. The rams were allowed to graze inside infested pastures for 50days to acquire helminthes and coccidia naturally. At day 51, the rams were confine in individual pens and fed experimental diets for 28days. Faecal samples (5g) were collected from rams for Faecal Egg Count Reduction Test (FECRT, %)) and Coccidia Oocyst Reduction Test (CORT, %) on days 0, 7, 14, 21 and 28. Data obtained were subjected to descriptive statistics and ANOVA α0.05. Results obtained showed that on day 28, the FECRT (%) was higher in G2 (100), G3 (100), G4(100) and G5(100) than G1 (7.43) while the CORT (%) was higher in G2 (100), G3 (100), G4 (98.83) and G5 (100) than G1 (22.60). The helminthes ova recovered from faecal examination using floatation techniques were Haemonchus contortus, Trichostrongylus spp, Oesophagostomum spp, Strongyloides,and Moniezia; while Haemonchus contortus, Trichostrongylus spp., Nematodirus spp., Moniezia and Oesophagostomum spp. larvae were identified on faecal culture. The result revealed that crude ginger rhizome is a potential alternative anti-helminth and anti-coccidia for resource poor farmers as it grossly reduced helminth and coccidia load in the rams.
The court of appeal decision in Babatunde v. Osun State college of education: the prerequisite duration of retainership contract
(Department of Commercial and Industrial Law, Faculty of Law, University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, 2022-12) Adeniji, S. A.
In legal practice, a client may engage a legal practitioner on a case basis or enter into retainership contract where the lawyer is expected to offer a range of agreed legal service for a period of time for a fee he is entitled to even if no service is rendered at the instance of the client. Like any other enforceable contract, it is expedient to expressly state the duration and other terms of a legal retainer. Where the duration is not stated but the fees are usually pay on yearly basis, the court shall treat the same as a yearly contract subject to yearly application and approval by the client. This paper which adopts doctrinal method, examines the imperativeness of stating the duration of retainership contract by examining the Court of Appeal decision in Babatunde v. Osun State College of Education where the court held that where the intention of the parties is not expressed, same will be discovered by examining the totality of the circumstances regulating the relationship. The paper examines the effect of the judgment on legal retainership in Nigeria. It found out that; failure to specify the duration of retainership, will open same to be construed as a yearly contract subject to renewal by the client upon the application of the legal practitioner. The paper makes vital recommendations on the issue going forward before conclusion.

Examination of the territorial jurisdiction of the national industrial court of Nigeria and the service of processes outside the jurisdiction of the court
(Department of Public Law Faculty of Law, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria, 2021-06) Adeniji, S. A.
Sections 97, 98 and 99 of the Sheriffs and Civil Process Act (SCPA) requires that, originating processes to be served outside the issuing state, must be endorsed that, same is for service outside the issuing State or the Federal Capital Territory for their service to be valid. Giving the fact that, the National Industrial Court of Nigeria (NICN), just like the Federal High Court (FHC), has a nationwide jurisdiction, does the above requirement of the SCPA applies to the NICN? Does the failure to specifically mention the NICN in the definition section of the SCPA as courts is the NICN not excluded? Docs the specialised nature of the NICN exclude it from the application of the SCPA as far as endorsement and service of originating processes is concerned? These issues, form the crux of this paper which adopts the doctrinal methodology to evaluate these issues by reviewing the Court of Appeal decision in Johnson v. Ezc. It argues that, the NICN having a nationwide coverage with judicial divisions for administrative and adjudicatory efficiency, the requirement of the SCPA is inapplicable. Aside being a specialised court poised at efficient and timeous adjudication, the exclusion of the NICN in the definition section of the SCPA, although being of coordinate jurisdiction with other High Courts (IIC), buttresses the inapplicability of the SCPA endorsement requirement. It argues that, the decision is a welcomed development; it will aid continuous efficiency of the NICN; insulate it from potential technicalities arising from the applicability of the requirement of the SCPA based on the sensitive subject matter it adjudicates upon.
Growth and semen characteristics of West African dwarf rams fed ammonium sulphate supplemented diets
(National Animal Production Research Institute, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, 2017) Ososanya, T. O.; Adeniji, S. A.; Aree, O. S.
Ammonium sulphate (AS) is widely used as a feed additive for animals. It is generally used to provide supplemental sulphur to the diet, particularly in diets containing non-protein nitrogen sources. This study assessed the growth and reproductive performance of Yankasa rams fed diets supplemented with different levels of ammonium sulphate. Ammonium sulphate was added at 0, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5g/kg of the concentrate diet as T0, T0.5, T1.0 and T1.5 respectively. Each treatment had four replicates while semen was collected once from all replicates in the treatments. Rams were fed experimental diets for 70 days. The parameters determined were: feed intake, body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, mass activity, motility, livability, sperm volume, sperm concentration, scrotal circumference and length. There were significant differences in the feed intake, body weight gain and the feed conversion ratio of the West African dwarf rams fed the supplemented diets. The rams fed diet T1.0 had the highest feed intake and body weight gain of 403.75g/day and 195.83g/day respectively above other treatments. The FCR in T1.0 was the lowest at 2.11 below 6.68 (T0) There was significant difference in the sperm concentration (x10(6)spz/ml) with T1.5 (160.25) having the highest while T0 (136.00) had the lowest. The total sperm ejaculate follow the same trend as sperm concentration with the lowest value recorded in T0 (98.95) while T1.5 (151.65) had the highest value. There were no significant differences in the values recorded for the scrotal circumference and length, however, scrotal weight, total testicular weight, scrotal length and scrotal circumference values in T1.5 was numerically higher than other treatments. It can be concluded that inclusion of ammonium sulphate in the feed of rams at 1.0g/kg enhanced the efficiency of feed utilization and improved the semen quality positively.
In vitro gas production assessment of concentrate diet containing ginger rhizome meal at varying levels
(2009) Ososanya, T. O.; Adeniji, S. A.
Ginger rhizome is a spice and may be beneficial in ruminant nutrition due to its inherent anti-microbial factors. Being an emerging additive, in vitro assessment may be necessary to evaluate its nutritive value. Thus, varying levels of ginger rhizome as dietary inclusion was examined. Dried ginger rhizome was ground into powder and added to a concentrate diet at 0, 50, 100, 150 and 200g/kg. The diet samples were incubated using in vitro gas production technique. Gas production was measured at 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24 h post incubation to estimate total gas volume, methane (CH4), metabolisable energy (ME; MJ/kg DM), organic matter digestibility (OMD; %) and short chain fatty acids (SCFA; µmol/200 mg DM)) were estimated using 4mL of 10M NaOH. Dynamics of gas production characteristics over time were described by equation y = a + b (t-e). DM was similar across all the treatments. The CP ranged between 14.98% for 150g of ginger/kg and 18.13% for 200g/Kg ginger supplementation. The total volume of gas produced by the diets consistently increased from the control diet to 150g/Kg ginger inclusion and thereafter declined significantly (p<0.05). The values ranged from 5.20 to 6.42 for ME, 39.19 to 46.08for OMD and 0.43 to 0.65 for SCFA. However, the CH4 production varied from 8.00 mL to 10.00 mL with no significant difference. The highest level of methane production was obtained in the 50g/Kg ginger inclusion level. The result showed that the ginger inclusion in the diet enhanced the availability of nutrients resulting in higher digestible and metabolisable energy with reduced methane production.

Procedural challenges in the mode of commencement of fundamental right suit under the fundamental rights (enforcement procedure) rules 2009
(Faculty of Law, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, 2021) Adeniji, S. A.
Under the Nigerian law, human rights are categorized \-s into justiciable and non-justiciable rights and they are contained in Chapters 4 and 2 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended. In enforcing the justiciable rights, Section 46(3) of the 1999 CFRN, empowers the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) to make Rules for their enforcement. Hence, the CJN made the Fundamental Rights (Enforcement Procedure) Rules, 2009 (FREPR 2009). This paper examines the mode of commencement of an action under the FREPR 2009. It adopts a doctrinal methodology by engaging in textual analysis of FREPR 2009. It finds that under Order II Rule 2 of the FREPR 2009, an application for the enforcement of fundamental rights may be made by any originating process accepted by the court which are writ of summons, petition, originating motion and originating summons. Therefore, it is argued that this provision has created a situation of uncertainty in respect of the mode of commencement of an action. It is recommended that FREPR 2009 be amended to make certain the mode of commencement and that originating motion is preferable.
Questions arising from the choice of originating processes in application for enforcement of fundamental rights in Nigeria
(Faculty of Law, Baze University, Abuja, Nigeria, 2021) Adeniji, S. A.
This article is aimed at informing legal practitioners and applicants in the fundamental rights proceedings on the originating processes strictly allowed hv the Fundamental Rights (Enforcement Procedure) Rules. (FREP Rules) accepted by the court for the enforcement of fundamental rights matter in the high court 's regardless of what FREP Rules provide. Since application for the enforcement of fundamental right is heard on the affidavit in support of the application and the affidavits which every party to the application proposes to use at the hearing, this article draws distinction between affidavit evidence and written statement of oath. In conclusion, this article calls on the Chief Justice of Nigeria, in line with the power conferred on his office under Section 46 (3) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (As Amended) to amend Order II of FREPR 2009 to correct this anomaly. This article, again, calls on the Supreme Court to decide on this issue.
Review of the court of appeal decision in Udo v. Robson & Ors: a call to expanding the frontiers of fundamental rights enforcement law
(2021-06) Adeniji, S. A.
This article is aimed at sensitizing the Nigerian Judges and legal practitioners alike to see need to expanding and expounding the frontiers of fundamental rights enforcement procedure law to accommodate joint application for the enforcement of fundamental rights matter in our law courts. Increasing rate of human rights' Violation is alarming. even in tlie democralic regime which requires broad and liberal approach in the interpretation of our laws toforestall injustice. This article concludes by proposing a wayforward in form of judicial activism. This article calls on Court of Appeal to overnde itselfin subsequent appeal(s). This article, again, calls on Supreme Court to decide on this issue.
A review of the court of appeal’s decision in Chief of naval staff Abuja & ors V. Eyo Archibong & Anor: the imperative ofexpanding the frontiers of fundamental rights enforcement law
(International Centre for Human Rights and Peace Studies in conjunction with the College of Law, Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria, 2020) Adeniji, S. A.
This article examines whether joint application can be instituted by more than one persons in the enforcement of fundamental rights cases in Nigerian courts. It adopts the case study approach by reviewing five major Court of Appeal decisions on this subject. While majority of these decisions answered this question in the negative, few of the cases held the question in the affirmative, thereby unsettling the position of the law on this point. The legal implication is that it does not make for certainty of the law, subsequent courts can pick and choose which of the decisions to follow. This paper argues that there is need to expand and expound the frontiers of fundamental rights enforcement procedure law in order to accommodate joint application in fundamental rights claims. Appellate courts should not set aside judgement of trial courts simply because the action was instituted by more than one applicant, as this would amount to sacrificing justice on the altar of technicalities. While this article enjoins the Court of Appeal to uphold joint fundamental rights application in subsequent cases, it also advocates that the Supreme Court should maintain a liberal disposition in settling this point of law whenever the opportunity rises.
Semen characteristics of pubertal yankasa rams fed zingiber officinale supplemented diets
(The Nigerian Society for Animal Production, 2016) Adeniji, S. A.; Ososanya, T. O.; Adediran, O. A.
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is consumed by humans and has been reported to possess medicinal uses. It possesses androgenic property with significant increase on male reproductive parameters. This study assessed the reproductive performance of Yankasa rams fed diets supplemented with different levels of ginger powder. Ginger powder was added at 0,5,10,15 and20g/kg of the concentrate diet as T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 respectively. Each treatment had five replicates while semen was collected once from all replicates in the treatments. Rams were fed experimental diets for 70 days. The parameters determined were: mass activity, motility, live: dead ratio, sperm volume, scrotal circumference and length. Mass activity values ranged from 0.67 in T5 to 3.00 in T3. However, there were significant increases in the mass activity of the ejaculate with increase in ginger inclusion up to T3 and subsequent reduction in T4 (1.33) and T5 (0.67). Similarly, scrotal length increased from 14.33cm in T1 to 16.33cm in T3, but decreased to 13.33cm in T5. No significant difference was observed in motility, liveability, volume of ejaculate and scrotal circumference, but numerical increases were obtained for motility, live: dead ratio, volume, sperm count and scrotal circumference. It can be concluded that ginger has positive effect on the improvement of semen quality of rams fed ginger powder supplement up to 10g/kg.
