“…This high turbidity values may be connected to anthropogenic activities, microorganisms, colloidal organic matter and suspended particles (Khan et al, 2019;Alexander et al, 2019). The turbidity values obtained in this study are not in agreement with the ndings of Bamigboye et al, (2020) where values lower than 5 NTU were obtained. Nitrate values in the range of 3.40 mg/L to 18.90 mg/L were obtained in this study.…”

“…It gives the sum of ionic conductance of all ionic factors of water including dissolved nutrients and micronutrients (Mwajuwa, 2010;Das et al, 2013). This is lower than the range of 130 µS/cm to 940 µS/cm obtained for groundwater sources in Ogbomosho, Oyo State, Nigeria (Bamigboye et al, 2020). The presence of high dissolved salts in water can affect the productivity and properties of a soil when it is used for irrigation (Rezaei et al, 2020).…”

Background:The study conducted a comprehensive assessment of the quality of selected groundwater sources around the liquid waste treatment plant of Ahmadu University Teaching Hospital Shika, Nigeria. Water samples were collected from four (4) hand-dug wells following standard procedures, ten (10) physicochemical parameters and seven (7) heavy metals were analyzed.Results: All the physicochemical parameters studied were within the WHO specified limits except for DO which was less and turbidity which was higher. Heavy metals were found in the all the groundwater sources that were studied. However, the concentration of some heavy metals exceeded the specified limits recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). The heavy metal presence in the groundwater sources may be connected to human activities such as waste disposal containing these metals around the groundwater sources and liquid waste from the hospital which can may have seeped into the wells.Conclusion: By implication, this study shows that the hand-dug wells were not safe for drinking. It is recommended that wells be sited away from dumpsites and waste treatment plants and effluents from waste treatment plants should also be properly treated before their subsequent discharge into the environment. This study has generated a baseline data that will be useful in monitoring heavy metal pollution.

“…Both were resistant to ofloxacin, cotrimoxazole, ceftriaxone, erythromycin, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, cephalexin, ampicillin and augmentine. The prevalence of multi-drug resistance among E. coli isolates were also supported by Bamigboye et al (2020). They reported isolating an E. coli that showed one hundred percent resistance to all the tested antibiotics.…”

Prevalence of multi-drug resistant bacteria associated with foods and drinks in Nigeria (2015-2020): A systematic review

Foods are essential vehicles in human exposure to antibiotic resistant bacteria which serve as reservoirs for resistance genes and a rising food safety concern. Antimicrobial resistance, including multidrug resistance (MDR), is an increasing problem globally and poses a serious concern to human health. This study was designed to synthesize data regarding the prevalence of MDR bacteria associated with foods and drinks sold within Nigeria in order to contribute to the existing findings in this area. A comprehensive literature search on the prevalence of multi-drug resistant bacteria associated with foods and drinks in Nigeria from 2015 to 2020 was conducted using three databases; PubMed, Science Direct and Scopus. After screening and selection, 26 out of 82 articles were used for the qualitative data synthesis. Of the total of one thousand three hundred and twenty-six MDR bacteria reportedly isolated in all twenty-six articles, the highest prevalence (660) was observed in drinks, including water, while the lowest (20) was observed in the article which combined results for both protein and vegetable-based foods. Escherichia sp. had the most frequency of occurrence, appearing as MDR bacteria in ten out of the twenty-six articles. Salmonella sp. appeared as MDR in seven out of the twenty-six articles included in this study, in all seven articles where it was reported, it had the highest percentage (85.4%) prevalence as MDR bacteria. Public health personnel need to ensure critical control during the production and handling of foods and drinks, as well as create more awareness on proper hygienic practices to combat the spread of MDR bacteria.

“…This perception may be connected to the fact that water for various human endeavours such as industrial use, agriculture, construction, consumption, or other domestic applications demands a certain degree of quality to assure the suitability for the anticipated use. Over the years in Nigeria, the parameters of interest in water quality monitoring and assessment have been in the groups of physicochemical ( Afonne et al., 2020 ; Alum and Okoye, 2020 ; Bello et al., 2020 ; Beshiru et al., 2018 ; Egbueri, 2020 ; Ewuzie et al., 2020 ; Omaka et al., 2016 ), bacteriological ( Aboh et al., 2015 ; Adesakin et al., 2020 ; Aromolaran et al., 2019 ; Bamigboye et al., 2020 ; Chigor et al., 2012 ), and trace organics, including other emerging contaminants of concern ( Aganbi et al., 2019 ; Ebele et al., 2020 ; Ogbeide et al., 2019 ; Ogunbanwo et al., 2020 ; Sogbanmu et al., 2019 ).…”

The appropriate acquisition and processing of water quality data are crucial for water resource management. As such, published articles on water quality monitoring and assessment are meant to convey essential and reliable information to water quality experts, decision-makers, researchers, students, and the public. The implication is that such information must emanate from data obtained and analysed in an up-to-date, scientifically sound manner. Thus, inappropriate data analysis and reporting techniques could yield misleading results and mar the endeavours of achieving error-free conclusions. This study utilises the findings on water quality assessment in Nigeria over the last 20 years to reveal the likely trends in water quality research regarding data collection, data analysis, and reporting for physicochemical, bacteriological parameters, and trace organics. A total of 123 Web of Science and quartile ranked (Q1-Q4) published articles involving water quality assessment in Nigeria were analysed. Results indicated shortcomings in various aspects of data analysis and reporting. Consequently, we use simulated heatmaps and graphs to illustrate preferred ways of analysing, reporting, and visualising some regularly used descriptive and inferential statistics of water quality variables. Finally, we highlight alternative approaches to the customarily applied water quality assessment methods in Nigeria and emphasise other areas of deficiency that need attention for improved water quality research.
