Effects of locating abattoir to the neighbouring communities in Kano State, Nigeria

For years, abattoir solid waste disposal in many developing nations has been a major problem. Many abattoirs in Sub-Saharan Africa especially Nigeria deposit their wastes within the immediate locations or dispose them into water bodies which causes effects to the people living close to abattoirs. On the other hand, locating abattoirs in urban center furnishes many advantages to the people therein. Though, the impact of abattoir practice poses threat to the physical and man-made environment. The aim of this study was to determine the environmental as well as socio-economic effects of location of abattoir to the neighbouring people. A mixed method of quantitative and qualitative approach was employed. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to sample 400, 44 and 44 of respondents living proximity to abattoir, traditional head of butchers (Sarakunan-Pawa) and chairman of butchers’ association respectively. Quantitative data were collected from people neighbouring abattoir. While the qualitative data were derived from in-depth interview conducted to traditional heads of butchers (Sarakunan pawa) and Chairman of butchers’ association. This research used statistical tools, frequency count, bar and pie charts for data analysis and presentation. Findings of this research revealed that more than 25% of people living very close to abattoir do not been disturbed by bad odour produced by the abattoir. It is also revealed that there are both positive and negative effects of abattoir set by locating abattoir in an area, but the negative effects outweigh its positive ones. This research concluded that appropriate planning should be put in place to avoid encroaching by people close to abattoir or establish new abattoir close to residential area. And also proper drainage and modern methods of abattoir solid waste management should be designed
