Garki, Abuja
Abuja (; , ) is the capital city of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, strategically situated at the geographic midpoint of the country within the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). As the seat of the Federal Government of Nigeria, it hosts key national institutions, landmarks, and buildings spread across its over 50 districts. It replaced Lagos (the most populous city in Nigeria) as the capital on 12 December 1991. Abuja's geography is defined by Aso Rock, a monolith left by water erosion. The Presidential Complex, National Assembly, Supreme Court and much of the city extends to the south of the rock. Zuma Rock, a monolith, lies just north of the city on the expressway to Kaduna. At the 2006 census, the city of Abuja had a population of 776,298 and 179,674 households making it one of the ten most populous cities in Nigeria (eighth place in 2006). According to the United Nations, Abuja grew by 139.7% between 2000 and 2010, making it the fastest-growing city in the world ...

Garki Project
The Garki Project was a non-profit study conducted by the World Health Organization from 1969 to 1976 in the Garki, Nigeria, Garki Local Government Area of the Jigawa State (then part of the Kano State), Nigeria. Its purpose was to study epidemiology and control of malaria in the lowland rural Sudan savanna in northern Nigeria. The main objectives of the project were to measure the effects of indoor residual spraying and mass drug administration and to construct and test a mathematical model of malaria transmission. The project was funded by both the World Health Organization and the Federal Government of Nigeria. The project concluded that indoor spraying with Propoxur had a very limited impact on malaria and the mass administration of Antimalarial medication, sulfalene-pyrimethamine (in combination with the residual spraying) failed to interrupt the transmission of malaria for any length of time. However, the mathematical model used was found to simulate the epidemiology of Plasmo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
