SPATIAL PATTERN OF INTRA-URBAN POVERTY OF
ADO- EKITI, SOUTH WESTERN NIGERIA

Ado, Ekiti, Nigeria
Abstract:
Every nation in the world, developed or developing has a number of the population
living below the poverty line. There has been explosive growth in global urban
population as a result of natural population growth and rural to urban migration. Most
inhabitants in World's cities experience urban poverty. There is the need to know who
the poor are and where they are located hence, this study focuses on the evaluation of
intra-urban poverty of Ado- Ekiti through the application of Geographical Information
Systems. The data used for the study were collected through the administration of 510
copies of well-structured questionnaire. The Stratified Random Sampling technique was
used in the administration of the questionnaire and the result was subjected to Factor
Analysis Statistics. The following factors: Income, Housing and Housing characteristics
(14.65%), Commerce and Communication (8.98%), Educational facilities (5.72%), Roads
and Drainages (4.99%) and Water facilities (4.08%) were mapped. It was discovered that
there was a spatial variation in the intra-urban poverty of the capital city. The farm
settlement ward was found to be the poorest compared to other wards. It was
recommended that Geographical Information Systems should be applied to test-run
some of the developmental policies and programmes before the actual implementation
by the government and other donor agencies.

Introduction
There is no unanimously accepted definition of poverty. As a matter of fact, it is almost
never defined in itself, but through other concepts, such as growth, well-being,
exclusion or equity. Poverty encompasses inadequate income and denial of the basic
necessities such as education, health services, clean water and sanitation (United
Nations, 2007). Poverty, being heterogeneous with multi-dimensional links to problems
of hunger, illiteracy, diseases, child and maternal mortality is a fundamental challenge
facing Africa as well as the rest of the World in the 21st century (Carly, Jenkins and
Smith, 2001).
Poverty is a mass phenomenon in sub- Sahara Africa, including Nigeria. The
available statistical facts on poverty in Nigeria indicate the following:
35% of the population lives in extreme poverty;
almost 52% live on less than a dollar a day, equivalent of N320 per day;
54% are poor in relative terms;
poverty incidence is highest in North East zone (63%), followed by North West
62.9%), North Central (62.3%), South-South (51.1%), South West (42%) and South
East (34.3%);
about 63% of people living in the rural areas are poor compared with 41% in
urban areas (National Planning Commission, 2007).
In recent decades, there has been explosive growth in global urban populations.
In developing countries, 40% to 60% of urban dwellers have inadequate sanitation
(Tipping et al, 2005), and slum-dwellers (urban poor) are the most vulnerable to
sanitation-related diseases because they are the most exposed to unmanaged human
excreta and waste (Peterson et al, 2007). Africa is currently experiencing the highest rate
of urbanization, with a four-fold increase in urban dwellers anticipated between 1990
and 2020, to reach 500 million people (Ndahlahwa, 2005). In tandem with this massive
shift has come what Tipping, Adom and Tiaijuka, (2005) call "the rapid urbanization of
poverty and ill-health" and the growth and densification of slums.
The urban growth is attributed to both natural population growth and rural to
urban migration. Urbanization contributes to sustained economic growth which is
critical to poverty reduction. The economies of scale and agglomeration in cities attract
investors and entrepreneurs which is good for overall economic growth. Cities also
provide opportunities for many, particularly the poor who are attracted by greater job
prospects, the availability of services, and for some, an escape from constraining social
and cultural traditions in rural villages. Yet, city life can also present conditions of
overcrowded living, congestion, unemployment, lack of social and community
networks, stark inequalities, and crippling social problems such as crime and violence.

In Nigeria, the urbanization process is similar to what obtains in several other
developing countries; as the growth and complexity of human settlements and in
particular the rate of urbanization has been phenomenal (Ujoh et al., 2010). Considering
its 2006 population figure of over 140 million people- the highest in Sub-Saharan Africa
(Ajanlekoko, 2001; FRN, 2007; Jiboye, 2011a, Ayeni and Adebayo, 2016); available data
however shows that the country has been growing at the rate of 5.5% annually from
1980 to 1993, and recently, its growth has increased to the rate of 5.8%, which has
resulted in a total urban population of 62.66 million people (or, 43% of the national
population). By projection, this proportion is expected to increase to more than 60% by
2025 (UN, 2007). Consequently, Nigeria has one of the highest urban growth rates,
having cities ranked among the fastest growing in the world. Not only is the country
experiencing one of the fastest rates of urbanization in the world, its experience has
been unique in scale, pervasiveness and historical antecedents. This process has
resulted in a very dense network of urban centres (Oladunjoye, 2005); thereby
constituting a major problem to the urban residents whose quality of life and living
conditions have deteriorated considerably (Ajala, 2005; Jiboye, 2009; 2011a). However, it
has been established that the degrading condition of the cities' environment in most
developing nations affects the socio-economic and national development (Ogunleye,
2005). Therefore, a major developmental challenge facing the nations, particularly those
within the developing world, is how to cope with the increasing urbanization and
minimize its adverse consequences on the cities' environment as well as overall
wellbeing of the people (Jiboye, 2011b).
The concept of city
as being heterogeneous shows that, there is no single
average welfare indicator that can present an overall urban condition that will give a
correct picture of poverty within a city. In cities, the poor and rich-with their different
levels of assets – live together, and there are significant intra-urban differentials in
social,
environmental,
and
health
conditions
(Stephens,
and
others,
1997).
Manifestations of poverty in urban areas can be strongly site-specific. It is important to
know the social and physical conditions of different groups and neighbourhoods within
the city, the forms of deprivations that they suffer, and their numbers and
characteristics. Since the creation of Ekiti State on the 1st of October 1996, the capital
town has been expanding at a phenomenal rate to accommodate the ever- increasing
population emanating from rural-urban migration. As the state capital, human influx
has been on continuous rate that the infrastructural amenities cannot cope with
population expansion. This has led to a situation where many find it difficult to meet
their daily needs and only succeeded in falling below the poverty line.
Traditionally, psychological theories of poverty focus more on the individual
and their behaviour while sociological theories of poverty emphasise the role of the

social environment (Carr and Sloan, 2003). The economist is more concerned about the
income of an individual and the relative power of commanding goods and services but
the geographer is more interested in the location of the urban poor because there is an
indisputable relationship between poverty and geographic location (Ayeni and
Bankole, 2015). In this wise, there is the need to answer the question "where are the poor
located?" This study therefore, employed an integrated vision of urban poverty by
considering both spatial and non-spatial components to evaluate the intra-urban
poverty of Ado- Ekiti with the tool of Geographical Information System (GIS).
1.1
Objective of the Study
The aim of the study is to evaluate the spatial distribution of intra-urban poverty of
Ado- Ekiti using Geographical Information System.
2.
The Study Area
Ado -Ekiti is the capital city of Ekiti State. It is located on the latitude 70 40' North of the
Equator and latitude 500 16' east of the Greenwich Meridian and shares common
boundaries with Irepodun/Ifedore Local Government, Ekiti South West and Gbonyin
Local Government (Adebayo and Kolawole, 2010). Politically, the Local Government is
delineated into thirteen wards (Fig. 1).The study area is mainly an upland zone rising
250 metres above the sea level. It has within the area underlain by metamorphic rocks of
the basement complex with rugged range of hills characterising the landscape.
The study area enjoys tropical climate with two distinct seasons: the rainy season
(April - October) and the dry season (November - March). Temperature ranges between
210c and 280c with high humidity. As the State capital, the rapid pace of urbanization
has brought about various environmental challenges like pressure on the available
socio-infrastructural facilities, deforestation, housing deficit, road congestion, all
resulting to urban poverty.

Study Methods
For the purpose of this study, both primary and secondary sources of data were
employed. Transect walks and Direct Interview was used to collect data on the location
of each of the thirteen wards that make up the capital city. Opinion and community
leaders were engaged in transect walk to move round and helped to determine the
boundaries of the wards. Global Positioning System (GPS) was used to capture the
locational data of the thirteen wards that make up the urban centre. The data were later
mapped using GIS Arcview 8.3 software (Fig. 1).

Ayeni, Gabriel Olusegun –
SPATIAL PATTERN OF INTRA-URBAN POVERTY OF ADO- EKITI, SOUTH WESTERN NIGERIA
A total of 510 copies of the questionnaire were distributed using systematic
random sampling technique. Out of the 13 wards, 7 wards were identified for the
administration of the questionnaire (Fig. 1). After the first electoral ward, (Idofin - 01),
every other wards were picked respectively. This shows that every ward has equal
chance of being picked. An average of 73 copies of the questionnaire were administered
in each ward. Having identified the first household, every 4th household was picked.
The results of the collated data using SPSS version 10 were subjected to factor analysis
statistics. The over 100 poverty variables converged at the 25th rotation into 14 poverty
factors (Appendices I & II).
For proper urban poverty mapping, data for the other wards that were not
considered in the course of questionnaire administration were captured using
Advanced Spatial Statistics tool - Geostatic Analytical tool called Inverse Distance
Weighted (IDW). IDW is based on the algorithm of distance with the assumption that
things that are close to one another are more alike than those that are farther apart.
Those measured values closest to the prediction location will have more influence on
the predicted value than those farther away (Watson and Philip, 1985). IDW therefore,
assumes that each measured point has a local influence that diminishes with distance. It
determines the power function (p) value by minimizing the Root Mean Square
Prediction Error (RMSPE). An optimal value for the power can be considered to be
where the minimum mean absolute error is at its lowest. IDW relies mainly on the
inverse of the distance raised to the power. The RMSPE is the statistic that is calculated
from cross-validation. In cross-validation, each measured point is removed and
compared to the predicted value for the location. The RMSPE is a summary statistic
quantifying the error of the prediction surface.

Results and Discussion
Ado – Ekiti has thirteen electoral wards. However, seven wards were purposively
selected as follows: Ereguru, Okesa, Dalimore, Idofin, Odolofin, Oke Ila and farm
settlements. It should be noted that data for other wards were derived from the
application of Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW), one of the tools of geo-statistical
analyst. The major five factors of poverty, considering the factor loadings were
considered as follows:
4.1
Income, Housing and Housing Characteristics
Housing and housing characteristics include the type of building like face-to-face, flat,
storey building, duplex, etc.; number of people living in the building, number of floors,
number of rooms, types of toilets, bathrooms, kitchens, age of building and materials

used for the construction. Okesa and Dallimore wards have high average income
distribution among the populace while Oke-Ila and Inisa wards have medium level of
average income and Ijigbo, Irona, ereguru, Okeyinmi, Idolofin, Ijoka and Igbehin wards
have relatively low average income distribution (Fig ii). This equally correlated
positively with the types of building and housing characteristics in these wards. This
shows that, wards with high average income distribution equally have high standard of
houses with the required urban services while the ones with low average income
distribution have low standard of houses and poor urban services (Fig. ii).
In the low average income areas, face-to-face structure dictated the types of
building while in high income areas; modern buildings like duplexes, storey buildings
and the ones on flat basis were common. This is not to say that we cannot find some
isolated cases where flat-based structures and even, duplexes were found in low
average income areas and by extension, face-to-face structure were found in wards with
high average income. The wards with low standard of housing characteristics were
majorly inhabited and populated by the indigenes and old people while the elites were
settlers from other parts of the state and far beyond. Most at times, the low and even
medium housing wards have bathrooms, toilets and kitchens detached from the main
building, hence, usually cover longer distances (high mean distances) to access these
facilities. Number of households using such urban facilities was very high compared to
the medium and high income wards. Since only few wards exhibited the characteristics
of affluence, there is the need for urban re-structuring that will pave way for the urban
poor to have more and easy access to urban services.
4.2
Commerce and Communication Gadgets
More wards exhibited the characteristics of commercial centres. All the wards that share
boundaries with the Central Business Districts (CBD), of the town have high
commercial activities (Fig. III). Ereguru, Okeyinmi, Ijoka and Irona wards share high
commercial activities compared to Inisa, parts of Dallimore, Okesa,Idofin and Idolofin
wards with medium commercial activities while some parts of Ijigbo, Okesa, Oke-Ila
and the farm settlement wards experienced low commercial activities compared to
others. The commercial activities are very high at the urban centre (CBD) and fades out
with longer distance from the centre (Fig. III). This is the effects of distance decay
theory. For example, at the farm settlement ward, trading activities commonly found
were the sales of agricultural products like plantain, yam, banana, kolanuts etc. The low
population of people at the urban fringes encouraged farm products to be transported
to the main urban centre for sale.
The level of the usage of communication gadgets like television sets, radio,
musical gadgets, handstes and even, computers (e-mailing) was high in parts of Okesa,

Ayeni, Gabriel Olusegun –
SPATIAL PATTERN OF INTRA-URBAN POVERTY OF ADO- EKITI, SOUTH WESTERN NIGERIA
Oke-Ila, Dallimore, Okeyinmi wards than in Idofin, Idolofin, Inisa and Ijigbo wards.
Today, there is a high usage of computers in the wards within the urban town too than
the farm settlement ward where majority of them were illiterate farmers compared to
the educated ones (and even, students of higher institutions) that reside in the former
wards( Fig. III). However, due to the fact that some communities like Erifun and Ayoko
are in farm settlement ward, the presence of students from the Federal Polytechnic, Ado
and Afe Babalola University increased the usage of communication gadgets. At the low
and medium commercial activities, small shops especially open market shops
predominate the commercial landscape while we have shopping malls and super
market, lock-up shops that were inter twined with open market shops in the high
commercial centres.
4.3
Roads and Drainages
The urban centre is transverse by a major dual-carriage road. Apart from this, some
secondary arteries were served with tarred roads. Part of Oke-Ila, Idofin and Okesa
wards enjoyed a relative dense networks while Inisa, Dallimore, Idolofin, Igbehin,
Ereguru and Okeyinmi wards have a relatively medium road network while the farm
settlement, part of Oke- Ila and Ijigbo wards were poorly served with road networks
(Fig.IV). Access roads to some of the communities in the wards were mainly untarred
and some seasonal. There is the need to create more access roads to encourage the
movement of farm produce to urban markets for sales. Most of the new developed
areas in the urban settlement were not accessible by roads, hence a major problem to
vehicle users. In places where we have accessible roads, there were poor drainage
systems, no good culverts or bridges. Thus, easy movement was hampered especially in
the rainy season where most places were inundated with floods. Example of these is
found in parts of Dallimore, Inisa, Irona, Igbehin wards (Fig. IV).
4.4
Educational Facilities
The supply and access to educational facilities is high in some parts of Oke- Ila,
Dallimore and Okesa wards. Here, we have more primary and secondary schools,
School of Nursing and Ekiti State University (Fig.V). It may be surprising that part of
farm settlement ward in the north- eastern part of the urban settlement has a high
density of educational facilities. This is explained by the presence of the Federal
Polytechnics and Afe- Babalola University. In the ancient part of the urban centre,
wards like Inisa, Idofin, Ijigbo, Idolofin, and part of Okesa wards were serviced with
relatively medium educational facilities whereas, Ereguru and parts of Irona wards
were poorly served (Fig.V). However, the need for more educational facilities is being
complimented by the provision from private individuals.

4.5
Water Facilities
There is high supply of water facilities in Inisa, Idofin, parts of Okeyinmi, Oke-Ila,
Irona and Ijoka wards compared to the relatively medium supply of same in Okesa,
Dallimore, Ereguru, Irona wards while Ijigbo and farm settlement wards have low
supply of water facilities (Fig. VI ). Even, with the presence of Ireje dam in the Ado Ekiti, most households depend on borehole, dug out wells and rainfall as the major
sources of getting water for all human uses. The four natural water springs in the townAmu, Olotoro, Orojuda amd Omi - Olori (besides Mary Immaculate Grammar School)
were not developed and therefore not tapped for human consumption. They have been
subjected to serious pollution from level of urbanization and constructive works that
have changed the eco-system in the environments (Fig.VI).
Rivers and streams channels have been constructed to discharge floods from the
surrounding environment and most of the surrounding buildings located their swage
system down hills that later discharged human wastes through underground seepages
to the springs, thereby, rendering them unsafe for human consumption. Generally,
there was high shortage of water supplies in the state capital. Pipe-borne water only
serviced a limited portion of the town and water supply was epileptic hence,
inhabitants search for water as early as possible especially in the dry season. The
shortage of water has provided job opportunities for some private water provider. They
use vehicles to hawk water in tanks for sales and this method has been of immense help
to the construction and building industries.
5.
Conclusion
One of the major findings of the study is that there was a spatial variation in the intraurban poverty of Ado- Ekiti. The farm settlement ward was seen to be the poorest
compared to other wards. Geographical Information Systems, as a test bed for poverty
reduction policies and programmes would therefore make necessary intervention to be
'ward-specific'. The differences in local variation with reference to the degree of poverty
should guide intervention before applying it as a global poverty reduction policies and
programmes for the urban centre.
The scope of social and infrastructural facilities needed to be expanded and
made more accessible and affordable to the urban poor. Urban planners would no
doubt find these results useful in planning and administering our urban space
especially, the capital city of the State.
