“…Hyperglycaemia in this study was observed in 4.3% of the participants, comparable to that observed in other studies. [ 4 , 5 ] In Port Harcourt, Nigeria, the prevalence of diabetes was reported to be 6.8% among adults [ 23 ] and Nigeria is also said to have the largest number of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Africa [ 24 ]. Diabetes is also known to be the leading cause of CKD worldwide [ 25 ] and is gaining an increasing important role as a cause of CKD and ESRD in Sub-Saharan Africa [ 1 ] and in Nigeria [ 26 ], therefore this prevalence observed here poses a cause for concern.…”

“…This concern is largely due to the rising prevalence of risk factors such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and the HIV pandemic, the enormous cost implication of its treatment, its role in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and the fact that the disease largely afflicts the economically productive younger age groups [ 1 , 2 ]. Several hospital based studies in Nigeria have put the prevalence of CKD between 1.6 - 12.4% [ 3 ] with a high prevalence of risk factors observed in various studies among different groups [ 4 , 5 ]. The early stages of CKD (stages 1-3a) are generally asymptomatic; therefore, the burden of the disease at these early stages goes largely undetected and difficult to assess.…”

IntroductionThe rising prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains a global public health challenge particularly in developing countries, including our local environment, where subjects with the disease present late and may already be in need of renal replacement therapy. Early detection of modifiable risk factors of CKD is a plausible strategy to reduce its prevalence and burden. The 2014 World Kidney Day (WKD) exercise provided a veritable opportunity to identify CKD risk factors among adult Nigerians for early intervention.MethodsSubjects were mobilized from the University community for the 2014 WKD exercise. The parameters assessed were demographics, Body mass index (BMI), blood pressures, proteinuria, glycosuria, serum creatinine and fasting plasma glucose. Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) was estimated using the Cockcroft-Gault equation. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 17.0.ResultsA total of 259 volunteers were studied, mean age of 28.3±9.7years (16-66years). Males comprised 135(52.1%) while 124(47.9%) were females. The frequency of risk factors of CKD observed were obesity in 31(12.2%) subjects, proteinuria and glycosuria in 32(12.4%) and 7(2.7%) subjects respectively. Hypertension and hyperglycaemia were seen in 54(20.8%) and 11(4.3%) of subjects respectively. Five subjects (1.9%) had e-GFR < 60mls/min/1.73m2.ConclusionPrevalence of CKD risk factors in this study population was high. There is need for continuous education, regular screening for early detection and early intervention by risk factor modification to prevent and/or reduce the growing burden of CKD and its sequelae in Nigeria.

Background: The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is on the increase globally with an attendant heavy disease burden and high morbidity and mortality from end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Data on the prevalence of risk factors for chronic kidney disease from sub-Saharan Africa are scanty, more so in the northern part of Nigeria. There are several risk factors for CKD which include, obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and some nephrotoxic agents. Preventive strategy through early detection and treatment has been advocated for CKD especially in our own setting where majority of patients present late and cannot afford the cost of renal replacement therapy which again is not readily available. Method: This study was conducted among the staff of Bingham University Teaching Hospital (BHUTH), Jos, as part of a screening exercise during the World Kidney Day (WKD) program of 2021, to determine the prevalence of modifiable risk factors for CKD. Adult subjects of 18 years and above, who consented to the study were mobilized after a sensitization talk. The parameters assessed were demographics, body mass index, blood pressures, proteinuria, fasting plasma glucose and plasma creatinine. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was estimated using CKD-EPI Creatinine Equation 2021. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25. The level of statistical significance was set at a p-value of < 0.05. Results: 150 adult volunteers participated in the study. The mean age of the participants was 43.3±11.32 years (18-71 years), with 61.3% being females and 38.7% were males. The frequency of the risk factors of CKD observed were obesity in 45 (30.0%) of the participants and diabetes mellitus found in 44 (29.3%) of the participants, Proteinuria and glycosuria were found in 49 (32.7%) and 9 (6.0%) of the participants respectively while a whopping 37 (24.7%) of the participants had haematuria. The number of participants found with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of <60ml/min/1.73m2 were 55 (36.7%). There was an independent association between older age (p = 0.010), being widowed/divorced (p = 0.041), and having diabetes (p = 0.006) with an eGFR <60ml/min/1.73m2. Conclusion The prevalence of CKD risk factors in this study population was high. Therefore, there is the need for adequate and continuous sensitization and routine screening in our various clinics for early detection and early management by lifestyle and risk factor modification to halt or reduce the growing burden of CKD with its attendant morbidity and mortality in Nigeria.

“…Oba Market was selected due to its heterogeneous nature and strategic position. The market is situated in the city centre, easily accessible to all in the community (Okaka et al, 2013). Due to its size, more children are involved in trading in Oba Market than in any other market in Benin.…”

“…The market is also close to a new central hospital, the largest in Edo State. It is estimated that more than 5000 people, mostly women and children, trade daily within the market (Eseigbe and Ojeifo, 2012; Okaka et al, 2013). Unlike other markets, it operates every day of the week.…”

Recent attempts in Nigeria to implement children's rights and extend education beyond primary level appear to be challenging. Drawing on interviews and focus groups with 17 child traders aged 10-15 in a market town in Nigeria, this article reflects on tensions emerging from children's participation in trading during school hours, despite the implementation of the United Nations' Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC; United Nations, 1989), the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACC; Organisation of African Unity (OAU), 1990) and subsequent children's rights legislation in Nigeria.The article begins by exploring the context of child trading in Nigeria. It considers the difficulties of reconciling constructions of childhood inherent in the CRC and ACC with the needs and cultural
