The total lenght of active gullying on the Jos plateau is 8.000.000 years or more than 4.500 miles-representing a volume of 100.000 tons of soil lost. Expressed topically this means that the gullies, if placed end to end, would stretch from lagos to london half wayback again and that, if were necessary to transport the same amount of soil by sea, one thousand 100.000 tons supertanker type cargo vessels would be required for the job. Mechanical repair of this gullying would have cost more than 30.000.000 before the Udoji-award. Mechanical repair is not thought to be praticable. It is recommended that existing but unenforced legislation be rectivited and operative lightened to curb the mal pratices associated with mining, grazing and cultivation particulary with regard to the refiling, livelling, and general rehabilitation of mining exacavations, the over intensive grazing, indiscrimate burning, and the trailling and trampling of stream and grilly banks. |
