dc.description.abstractNigeria is a country at high risk concerning food security, poverty, energy production and most importantly, unsatisfactory infrastructure and economic development (FGN, 2008). In the near future daytime temperatures (mean maximum temperature) are predicted to rise between 3–5oC in most parts of Nigeria and that a decrease in rainfall events will increase drought probabilities (Adejuwon 2006). The effect of these events on the ecosystems will cause increasing water shortage, poor agricultural yield, food insecurity as well as malnutrition and health problems. The future climate projection, coupled with an expected increase in population, would present serious challenges for the ecosystems and the associated livelihoods.en_US
