    Abstract: The Ako’ozam–Njabilobe area, which is part of the Nyong group, is characterized mainly by highly deformed gneisses that host amphibolites, and metadolerites as enclaves. The gneisses within the Ako’ozam-Njabilobe area were investigated to constrain their geotectonic environment as well as understand their geodynamic evolution within the Nyong group... Show More

    Abstract: This research was carried out among student in Nigerian schools. The logistic regression model and ordinal logistic model were fitted with Awareness to environmental issues (AEI) with two levels and Responsiveness to environmental issues (REI) with five levels as the response variable. The predictor variables are age, geographical zones, type of sc... Show More
