The study was designed to examine the incidence of oil spillage on agricultural farmland in one of the oil producing communities in Delta State (Gana-Agbarha, Ughelli North Local Government Area). A total of 55 petty commercial farmers were visited and interviewed on the incidence of crude oil spillage and its effects on their crop production. The data obtained were analyzed using the ratio estimation procedure. The results revealed that the ratio of the affected farmlands by oil spillage is currently 20% based on the estimate from the study and this indicates that the impact of oil spillage on farmland is high. The associated economic loss caused by farmland contamination by crude oil spillage in the region is worth N115,969,680 annually. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Mathematics and Statistics project topics and materials you might be interested in»Statistical Quality Control of Premier Soap in Soap Manufacturing Industry ( A Case Study of PZ Cusson PLC Aba Abia State)»Statistical analysis of students’ height and weight (case study of federal polytechnic Nekede, Owerri, Imo state) »Statistical analysis of unemployment rate among age groups and geographical locations in Nigeria»Statistical analysis of the problems associated with skill acquisition in Nigeria (a case study of male tailors in Imo state)»Application of linear programming technique to profit maximization in the production of soap (a case study of Promotex industrial and chemical company limited, Nnewi, Anambra state) »Statistical analysis of foster care and adoption rate in Abia state (a case study of motherless babies home Ahiaeke, Umuahia)»Determination of nutritional status of children within the ages of four (4) to ten (10) years using their body mass index (BMI)»Time series analysis on marriage registration in Ilorin, Kwara state»Application of multiple queuing model in evaluating the efficiency of service in UBA bank»Statistical analysis on impact of parental hood on academic performance»Econometrics analysis of gross national income on consumption expenditure of federal republic of Nigeria between (2011)»Determinant of foreign direct investment in Nigeria and its effect on Nigerian economy: an empirical analysis»Statistical analysis of factors affecting crime in Imo state»Statistical study of the queuing pattern at the antinatal division of Federal Medical Center FMC Owerri Imo state»A statistical analysis of coal production in Nigeria - a case study of Nigeria coal corporation from 2000-2009
