Observation

This was an unpopular question among the candidates and the performance of those who attempted it was very poor because of poor map drawing.  The candidates are advised to develop their skills in map construction.  Many candidates who attempted the question could not adequately explain the methods of irrigation agriculture along River Niger and River Nile. 

The methods are:
  • shaduf method
  • perennial method
  • basin method
  • pump method
  • manual method
  • saqai method
  • Archimedes screw method.
