The management of Federal Polytechnic Bauchi has disclosed its plans to commence nine degree programs in engineering and other science courses soon.

Rector of the Polytechnic, Arch. Sanusi Waziri Gumau, made the disclosure on Saturday at the just concluded matriculation ceremony for the newly admitted students into the 2019/2020 academic session of the institution.

He said the nine new degree courses which would be affiliated to the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU) Bauchi include; Agric and Bio-Resources engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

Others he said are; degrees in Architecture, Building technology, Estate management and valuation, Quantity surveying and Survey and Geo-informatics.

Gumau explained that the degree programs were approved by the National Universities Commission (NUC) after series of meetings and dialogue between the polytechnic and the management of ATBU Bauchi.

In his words; “We recently received a facility supervision team from Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria, following our proposal to begin degree programs in Mass Communication, Accounting, Banking and Finance, as well as Public Administration. If they are satisfied with our standards, we will begin the program also”.

The Rector added that the polytechnic also runs Post Graduate Diplomas (PGDs) in engineering programs with the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) Kaduna even as it created four additional departments.

While congratulating the newly admitted students, Gumau admonished the students to abide by the rules of the institution and avoid acts that could lead to their expulsion from the polytechnic.

In her separate remark, the Registrar of the Polytechnic, Hajiya Rakiyya Usman Malaika, disclosed that for 2019/2020 academic session, the polytechnic received 9, 910 applications out of which 9, 654 were admitted, while 6,559 were registered having met the requirements.

There has been a massive reduction of eid-fitr (big sallah) ram killing in KANO due to lack of money in the country, the muslims in kano have really been honest with their self and decide to cut their coat according to their size ,over 10,000 ram was killed from 2016/2018 but due lack of money ,increament of market prices and closure of border, it has hit the people really hard that since 2019/2021 they were not able to celebrate their intention on the sallah festival and that has cause the reduction of ram killing in kano
Ishaku Yusuf bala the chairman of the ram sellers in KANO speak to one of our news he said “since two years now there has been a massive reduction of ram selling in all their locations in KANO and it has weakened his spirit that sometimes he just blame it on the Nigerian economy and he also plead with the FG to re-strategize the Nigerian economy for better income for the people”

The human body comprises around 60% water.

It’s commonly recommended that you drink eight 8-ounce (237-mL) glasses of water per day (the 8×8 rule).

Although there’s little science behind this specific rule, staying hydrated is important.

Here are 7 evidence-based health benefits of drinking plenty of water.

1. Helps maximize physical performance

If you don’t stay hydrated, your physical performance can suffer.

This is particularly important during intense exercise or high heat.

Dehydration can have a noticeable effect if you lose as little as 2% of your body’s water content. However, it isn’t uncommon for athletes to lose as much as 6–10% of their water weight via sweat (1Trusted Source, 2Trusted Source).

This can lead to altered body temperature control, reduced motivation, and increased fatigue. It can also make exercise feel much more difficult, both physically and mentally 

2. Significantly affects energy levels and brain function

Your brain is strongly influenced by your hydration status.

Studies show that even mild dehydration, such as the loss of 1–3% of body weight, can impair many aspects of brain function.

In a study in young women, researchers found that fluid loss of 1.4% after exercise impaired both mood and concentration. It also

7 Science-Based Health Benefits of Drinking Enough Water

Written by Joe Leech, MS — Medically reviewed by Jillian Kubala, MS, RD — Updated on June 30, 2020

The human body comprises around 60% water.

It’s commonly recommended that you drink eight 8-ounce (237-mL) glasses of water per day (the 8×8 rule).

Although there’s little science behind this specific rule, staying hydrated is important.

Here are 7 evidence-based health benefits of drinking plenty of water.

1. Helps maximize physical performance

If you don’t stay hydrated, your physical performance can suffer.

This is particularly important during intense exercise or high heat.

Dehydration can have a noticeable effect if you lose as little as 2% of your body’s water content. However, it isn’t uncommon for athletes to lose as much as 6–10% of their water weight via sweat (1Trusted Source, 2Trusted Source).

This can lead to altered body temperature control, reduced motivation, and increased fatigue. It can also make exercise feel much more difficult, both physically and mentally (3).

Optimal hydration has been shown to prevent this from happening, and it may even reduce the oxidative stress that occurs during high intensity exercise. This isn’t surprising when you consider that muscle is about 80% water (4Trusted Source, 5Trusted Source).

If you exercise intensely and tend to sweat, staying hydrated can help you perform at your absolute best.

SUMMARY

Losing as little as 2% of your body’s water content can significantly impair your physical performance.

2. Significantly affects energy levels and brain function

Your brain is strongly influenced by your hydration status.

Studies show that even mild dehydration, such as the loss of 1–3% of body weight, can impair many aspects of brain function.

In a study in young women, researchers found that fluid loss of 1.4% after exercise impaired both mood and concentration. It also increased the frequency of headaches (6Trusted Source).

Many members of this same research team conducted a similar study in young men. They found that fluid loss of 1.6% was detrimental to working memory and increased feelings of anxiety and fatigue.

A fluid loss of 1–3% equals about 1.5–4.5 pounds (0.5–2 kg) of body weight loss for a person weighing 150 pounds (68 kg). This can easily occur through normal daily activities, let alone during exercise or high heat.

Many other studies, with subjects ranging from children to older adults, have shown that mild dehydration can impair mood, memory, and brain performance (8, 9Trusted Source, 10, 11Trusted Source, 12, 13).

SUMMARY

Mild dehydration (fluid loss of 1–3%) can impair energy levels, impair mood, and lead to major reductions in memory and brain performance.

3. May help prevent and treat headaches

Dehydration can trigger headaches and migraine in some individuals (14Trusted Source, 15Trusted Source).

Research has shown that a headache is one of the most common symptoms of dehydration. For example, a study in 393 people found that 40% of the participants experienced a headache as a result of dehydration (14Trusted Source).

What’s more, some studies have shown that drinking water can help relieve headaches in those who experience frequent headaches.

4. May help relieve constipation

Constipation is a common problem that’s characterized by infrequent bowel movements and difficulty passing stool.

Increasing fluid intake is often recommended as a part of the treatment protocol, and there’s some evidence to back this up.

Low water consumption appears to be a risk factor for constipation in both younger and older individuals.

5. May help treat kidney stones

Urinary stones are painful clumps of mineral crystal that form in the urinary system.

The most common form is kidney stones, which form in the kidneys.

There’s limited evidence that water intake can help prevent recurrence in people who have previously gotten kidney stones.

6. Helps prevent hangovers

A hangover refers to the unpleasant symptoms experienced after drinking alcohol.

Alcohol is a diuretic, so it makes you lose more water than you take in. This can lead to dehydration.

7. Can aid weight loss

Drinking plenty of water can help you lose weight.

This is because water can increase satiety and boost your metabolic rate.

Some evidence suggests that increasing water intake can promote weight loss by slightly increasing your metabolism, which can increase the number of calories you burn on a daily basis.

A 2013 study in 50 young women with overweight demonstrated that drinking an additional 16.9 ounces (500 mL) of water 3 times per day before meals for 8 weeks led to significant reductions in body weight and body fat compared with their pre-study measurements.
