The growing need for clean energy to address the environmental issues caused by the usage of fossil fuels results to the need for Nigeria to develop an alternative energy from untapped wind which is in abundance in the region. The aim of this study is to evaluate wind power potential and wind energy resources of three locations (Kaduna, Kano and Katsina) of northwestern part of Nigeria. The Nigerian Meteorological agency (NIMET) provided the wind speed data spanning 25 years (1996-2020). In the analysis, Weibull two-parameter statistical model was used. The distribution of wind speed across Nigeria demonstrates that some areas in the North are equipped to generate wind. Microsoft excel was used in analyzing the wind speed data obtained. In addition, evaluation of the region’s wind energy resources shows that Kano recorded the highest potential, with WPD of 443.03 Wm-2 at 10m AGL with annual WED of 4.921 kWhm-2day-1 while Kaduna recorded the lowest potential of 198.43 Wm-2 with annual WED of 2.093 kWhm-2day-1. As a result, Kaduna is found to be ideal for small scale wind power generation, while Kano and Katsina may be suitable for large scale wind power generation.

“…Mayoritas (89,29%) masyarakat suku Tengger di desa Argosari mendapatkan informasi tentang pengetahuan tradisional untuk mengatasi permasalahan seksual secara turun temurun dari leluhur mereka sendiri (Tabel 1.). Menurut Salihu et., al. (2018) tumbuhan obat yang digunakan dalam pengobatan radang sendi oleh orang Nigeria Barat Laut, sebagian besar pengetahuan tradisional diturunkan dari keluarga yang lebih tua.…”

ABSTRACT The people of Tengger in Argosari village receive their knowledge of traditional medicine from their ancestors. This traditional knowledge is inherited and subsequently preserved across generations. This ethnobotanical medicinal plant study began with the participation observatory method and interviewed 28 local Tenggerese people who were selected by purposive and snowball sampling. Ethnobotanical data were analyzed to understand the proportion of cited plants. The analysis was calculated to obtain species use-value (SUV), family use-value (FUV), and fidelity level (FL). We have inventoried 16 species of plants belonging to 9 families to treat five types of sexual problems. The result showed that Piper betle L. had the highest SUV (1.21). Zingiberaceae was recorded as the largest family (6 plant species) with high FUV (0.69). Rhizome (47,06%) and leaves (41.18%) are the most dominant parts used as ingredients in traditional medicine. The majority of Argosari villagers prepare medicinal plants by decoction techniques (94.12%), then use them orally (94.12%). Pimpinella pruatjan Molkenb. (purwoceng) that is used for aphrodisiac has the highest FL value (78.57%). So it has the potential to be developed related to its pharmacological effects and the content of its active secondary metabolites. Since P. pruatjan is categorized as rare and protected species, so it requires a policy on its use as raw material for traditional medicines. Keywords: Ethnobotany, Medicinal plants, Sexual problems, Tengger tribe, Argosari Village. ABSTRAK Masyarakat suku Tengger di desa Argosari mendapatkan ilmu pengobatan tradisional dari nenek moyang mereka. Pengetahuan tumbuhan obat ini diwariskan dan selanjutnya dilestarikan dari generasi ke generasi. Pendekatan etnobotani tumbuhan obat ini dimulai dengan metode participation observatory dan mewawancarai 28 masyarakat lokal suku Tengger yang diseleksi secara purposive dan snowball sampling. Analisis data etnobotani digunakan untuk memahami proposi tumbuhan yang tersitasi, yaitu: species use-value (SUV), family use-value (FUV), dan fidelity level (FL). Studi ini telah berhasil menginventarisasi 16 spesies tumbuhan yang termasuk dalam 9 famili untuk pengobatan 5 jenis penyakit permasalahan seksual. Sirih (Piper betle L.) memiliki SUV tertinggi yaitu 1,21, sedangkan Zingiberaceae terdata sebagai famili terbanyak (6 spesies tumbuhan) dengan FUV tertinggi (0,69). Rimpang (47,06%) dan daun (41,18%) merupakan bagian yang dominan digunakan sebagai bahan obat tradisional. Mayoritas masyarakat desa Argosari mempreparasi tumbuhan obat tersebut dengan tehnik dekokta (94,12%), selanjutnya menggunakannya secara oral (94,12%). Pimpinella pruatjan Molkenb. (purwoceng) yang berfungsi sebagai tumbuhan afrodisiak memiliki nilai FL tertinggi (78,57%), sehingga sangat berpotensi dikembangkan terkait efek farmakologis dan kandungan metabolit sekunder aktifnya. P. pruatjan termasuk dalam spesies langka dan dilindungi sehingga memerlukan kebijakan dalam pemanfaatannya sebagai bahan baku ramuan obat tradisional. Kata kunci: Etnobotani, Tumbuhan obat, Permasalahan seksual, Suku Tengger, Desa Argosari.

“…The preference for leafy stem can be attributed to the fact that the leaves (photosynthetic organ) are the biosynthesis source of secondary metabolites. They often contain secondary bioactive compounds that protect against herbivorous (Salihu et al 2018). Concerning the rootstock, its use can be associated with the mineral content and of this part of the plant.…”

Ipomoea beninensis Akoègn., Lisowski & Sinsin (Convolvulaceae) is the only endemic plant known for Benin. To date, no data exist on its usages, distribution, abundance, and threats. An improved understanding of indigenous knowledge and of local practices can provide insight into how the species could be sustainably conserved. We interviewed 114 local residents for collecting ethnobotanical and ethnoecological data in six sites known to host the species. Data were processed by calculation of descriptive statistics and variance and multivariate analyses. A total of twelve uses were reported. Among them, treatment of varicella (19%), malaria (18%) and fodder (17%) were the most recurrent. These mainly involve use of the species rootstock. Almost all respondents mentioned decline of the species in natural habitats. None of them was aware about the endemic status of the species. Consequently, negative practices toward the protection of I. beninensis were prevalent among local residents. Several conservation measures are proposed to ensure the longterm survival of I. beninensis.
