Development of indigenous manufacturing infrastructure in Nigeria: a case: study of the pace-setter organic fertilizer plant
(2008) Fadare, D. A.; Bamiro, O. A.; Adeoye, G. O.; Sridhar, K. C.
This paper presents the overview of the research and development (R&D) of the Pace-setter organic fertilizer plant. The plant, is owned, funded and managed by the Oyo State Government through the Ministry of Environment. The plant is located at the Bodija Market in Ibadan North Local Government area. The 10 tons/day capacity plant, designed and constructed (using locally sourced materials, was installed and commissioned in the year 1998. About 35 - 50 tons/day of solid waste consisting of Market Refuse (MR) and Abattoir Waste (AW) generated within the market are used as raw materials for the production of organic fertilizer. The plant is semi-mechanised as sorting and turning are done manually while the processing of the compost into finish products is done mechanically. The processing plant consists of six different units: shredding, screening; pulverizing, mixing, pelletising and bagging. Two grades of organic fertilizer (A and B) are produced in the plant. Grade A is fortified, grade B is unfortified. Both grades are produced in either powder or pellet form. The estimated man-power and electric-energy requirement of the plant are about 25 persons and 70KW respectively. A 50 kg bag of grade 'A' organic fertilizer is sold for about #700, while the unfortified grade 'B' is sold for about #500 per bag. The plant has proven to be commercially viable in terms of employment and income generation and equally as sustainable solution to the problem of solid waste management.

The draft nuclear genome sequence of the snail-transmitted, dimorphic, parasitic, platyhelminth Schistosoma mansoni revealed eight genes encoding proteins that contain the Universal Stress Protein (USP) domain. Schistosoma mansoni is a causative agent of human schistosomiasis, a severe and debilitating Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD) of poverty, which is endemic in at least 76 countries. The availability of the genome sequences of Schistosoma species presents opportunities for bioinformatics and genomics analyses of associated gene families that could be targets for understanding schistosomiasis ecology, intervention, prevention and control. Proteins with the USP domain are known to provide bacteria, archaea, fungi, protists and plants with the ability to respond to diverse environmental stresses. In this research investigation, the functional annotations of the USP genes and predicted nucleotide and protein sequences were initially verified. Subsequently, sequence clusters and distinctive features of the sequences were determined. A total of twelve ligand binding sites were predicted based on alignment to the ATP-binding universal stress protein from Methanocaldococcus jannaschii. In addition, six USP sequences showed the presence of ATP-binding motif residues indicating that they may be regulated by ATP. Public domain gene.
