This study is aimed at examining the spatial distribution and locational implications of public conveniences in Kano metropolis. This research utilized mixed methods; where both qualitative and quantitative methods were used. Both primary and secondary source of data were used in this study. The primary data were obtained from field measurementsile the secondary data were obtained from the Kano State Ministry of Environment, Kano State Urban Planning Development Authority (KNUPDA) as well as journals and previous theses. Materials used for this study include: Geo-positioning system (GPS) device (Garmin cx76 model) used for taking coordinates of the public conveniences (PCs). Computer software (Arc GIS 10.3) was also used in processing and analyzing of data generated from field. Availability sampling was used in administering questionnaires while purposive sampling was used for interview. The study find out that PCs are built rampantly without approval from appropriate government authoritymake them to build without complying with the standard rules and regulations. It is found that the distribution pattern of public PCs in Kano metropolis is mostly nucleated as they depend categorically on commercial activities as most of them are in motor parks or markets.

Aim: This study examined the prevalence of psychiatric morbidity and sociodemographic factors among pupils in traditional Almajiri (Tsangaya) and Almajiri Integrated Model Schools (AIMS) in Sokoto metropolis, northwest Nigeria. Methods and Materials: Pupils within the ages of 6–17 years participated in this cross-sectional comparative study. Through a multistage sampling technique, 96 pupils from each of Tsangaya and AIMS were selected as an equal sample. The Kiddies Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia, Present and Lifetime (K-SADS-PL), and sociodemographic variables were assessed.

Results: We studied 192 all male pupils, whose mean age and standard deviations were 13.01 ± 2.30 and 12.91 ± 2.15 years in Tsangaya and AIMS, respectively. Overall, the prevalence of psychiatric morbidities was 27.6%, in a proportion of 67.9% to 32.1% in Tsangaya and AIMS, respectively. The common psychiatric disorders in this study were depression, enuresis, and posttraumatic stress disorder. Conclusion: Tsangaya pupils experience more psychiatric morbidity compared to their counterparts in AIMS. Neurotic disorders were found to be more prevalent among them. More AIMS should be created to reduce the prevalence of psychiatric morbidity among the vulnerable children in Tsangaya.
